Looking at a bear hunter takedown.  About 30 yrs old.  In pretty good shape.  Think the riser may have been drilled for quiver but haven't seen the bow in person yet.
What's a average or fair price for a bow like this?  It's 60" #55
Thanks

I see these pop up for sale from to time to time for around the $200 price point (give or take based on condition).

If it's in decent shape it's worth more than $200. Just the riser is worth that I would think and the limbs can go for 150-200 dollars. Also depends on what it is as far as year of manufacture.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I have purchased two within the last ten or so years, one left hand and one right hand.
I paid $200 and $150 respectively and both were in good to above condition.

Also, they have 55# and 50# limbs.

Hope this helps!

Ron, I think you mean the Bear A or B Riser TD's...the Hunter TD are a lesser model and sold for much less. Typically they were an actionwood riser (I beleive) and limb bolts.  Not bad shooters - but no more than $200.

YEP......I thought we were talking about A's and B's.........I agree then , I would pay 200 for a one but would have to like new or better.   :thumbsup:

You are correct Mr. Cook, action wood and limb bolts.
I actually bought the left hand riser for my son with 55# limbs and they proved to be too much weight.
Bought the right had 50# just for the limbs since they interchange and that worked much better for my son.
You would be hard pressed to find limbs lower than 50#s, looked for years.

Yep. As others have said...around $200. I've got one that I use as my bowfishing rig. They are tough old bows.

I think I gave $225 for mine and got two sets of limbs with it, a set of 50# and a set of 60#. I've killed thousands of fish with the 50 pounders, everything from suckers to stingrays.
