Very nice! That will be a great shooting bow. One of Bear's finest shooting models. Excellent condition too! Looks like it's never had an arrow through it. 1957.

Nice! Got lucky... Bought it from guy off of an online list. No photos just verbal description. Sent money hoping for an honest individual. And a true gentleman came through!
