Thought I'd start here just got the bow today and I'm getting ready for shade mountain this weekend so I'll research it afterward if no-one knows, all the info on it is 31CA71 THANKS in advance.
1964
That was quick and decisive. This is the place to come for all your traditional questions. None of us know it all, but collectively we've pretty much got it covered.
I don't think I have ever seen a question asked here that one of us could not answer when it comes to traditional.
THANK YOU SIR. Given the amount of Bear fans here I suspected the answer would be quick and accurate.
Jack,
That was an easy one. Usually one would need a little more information. The Bearcat was 1964-71. It wasn't a 1965-69 and I believe the 70-71 starts with a letter.
Joshua,
I'm assuming it's a 66" bow?
Sorry for not getting back to this sooner yes it's 66" and 55# zebra-wood riser and very lite green limbs. THANKS again I always appreciate the amount of knowledge that dwells here.
The old Bearcats & Tigercats are some great shooting bows that don't get the respect they deserve. Good news for people wanting one as they can often be found at reasonable prices.
I haven't strung or shot it yet and it was bought from a non-bow person on an un-nameable auction site, but it is one of the cleanest bows of that age I've seen in a long time, although it does appear to have a mild twist in one limb but I've straightened worse. I also noticed it has an extremely well contoured handle that drops the bow right in the comfort zone and the shelf is very close to the top of my hand when I grip it I'm guessing that it's going to be a great shooter.
