Just picked up my Bear's Paw takedown longbow from Neil today. Beautiful new riser! Here's a couple pics. Last one is the original riser. Like the new shape a little better.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's not quite as florescent as the flash makes it out to be, but I sure do love it. Man it's better than Christmas around here. Get my "free" takedown recurve next week. Yep, I said free. Search for my post NEW SKINS for the story. I'll post pics when I get it.

I'll bet that riser sits better in you hand too, with a bit more weight behind your hand...

I had a Bear's Paw once piece...one of those bows I wouldn't mind having back.

Herkimerhunter,

No, the coco is natural, just real orange. The first picture is more realistic color wise, the flash kind of made the close up florescent looking.
