Back in October I broke my right arm and had to have a plate and 6 screws put in to get it fixed.
I obviously haven't shot a bow in over two months so I wanted to get back slowly with a low pound bow and I thought it would be a good chance to "start over" and really get my form down. So...A friend offered to loan me a 35# Bear bow to start over with.
I got it today and just wondered what it is!
It is a 3 piece take down with a mag riser and white limbs.
The only markings on the bow are:
On the upper limb- "Fred Bear Takedown with Fascor"
Inside this writing is a picture of a dial caliper and a compass. (I hope I spelled compass correct)
The lower limb has "Bear Archery Grayling Michigan" and the patents, the last patent is Canada 1970.
The glue from the price tag is still stuck on the upper limb but no other info on the bow at all as to length or weight.
I am guessing a 60" bow as the string is 56".
It has a machined "slot" in the riser and a sight consisting of 4 small apertures instead of pins.
The riser has a bushing for a stabilizer.
It is a right handed bow, and on the right side of the riser, below the grip is a large straight slot screw.
I have no idea what that is for!
What is this thing? It reminds me of my old "76er".

Sounds like an A riser and a set of White Knight limbs..could you load up some pics and we will get'er ID'ed.bd

I'll try to get pics tomorrow bowdoc.
I don't know anything about the differnt risers either.(A,B,C)? This one measures 20" from screw to screw on the left side of the bow.
The screw I am referring to is the uppermost screw at the top and bottom of the limb latch.
The plastic grip looks to be the same one as my old "Polar II" compound grip.
Thanks a bunch,
John

B-risir with #1 white knight limbs ?? wow I'am getting excided to see the pics...bowdoc

You referred to the "limb Latch".

Can we  assume it has  a clampd own latch rather than a simpls slot to insert the limbs like your 76'er had?

we recently had a Mag handle thread with lots of pics. I think you will find something very similar to yours   over there .

 from someone who broke his right arm and had a plate and five srews to it  :(  Okay, it's about 28 ago - but I still have those metal parts in a plastic bag to show off and some nice scars to scare the kids  

Hey you talken broken arms.Hell I was drunk as a skunk back around 1978-79..The day before the late season opener for eather sex elk or deer.I was rideing with another guy on our why hunting whom was drunker then I was.We hit a phone pole head on at 70 miles an hr.Needless to say I ended up with 6 screws and a plate in my left arm.
The Dr and I choose to lieve it there.The Dr thought it would be better because I went hunting anyhow and then to the Dr when I returned and had some real problems with the arm.I choose to lieve it there as a reminder to never drink again.worked out good.bowdoc

I was ablt to take a few pictures of this thing today during lunch, and, if I can get them from photobucket without much trouble, I want to apologize in advance for lousy pics. I don't have a quality camera it doesn't take closeups very well.
Here goes:

OK,
I don't get photobucket yet, I keep posting the same pic instead of the others in my album.
Sorry,
John

Here's the last pic

Looks like a B riser to me...bowdoc

Is that a factory paint job, or has it been redone.  The finish looks "flocked"  Wierd,,,but neat.

looks factory but oxidized...bowdoc
