Title: Bear Mag TD Risers
Post by: Mike/Columbia Basin on June 06, 2010, 01:24:00 PM
I was wondering what colors the early mag risers came in and if they all had the bear medalion? I have a fixer upper that needs paint and maybe a medalion. The limbs are white tipped. Thanks
Mike

Mag risers were introduced in the '72 catalog and
had a flocked (fuzzy) finish. The colors are listed as Astro Blue, Sunset Gold, Moss Green,
Artic Grey, Cardinal Red, Buckskin Brown and Autumn Brown.

Somewhere around '75-76 they dropped the flocking and used just paint. The '75 catalog shows approximately the same colors but without flocking.
