heavyweight Bear bows let see them

Larry,what about posting a pic of those Chastain/Bear limbs?

[Grant Young]

Larry- I have to say that I think there is a point of diminished return with arrow weight. 700 plus grains is a lot of arrow and the added speed and flatter trajectory you'll get with 80# is going to be a really lethal combo. I rarely offer my opinion up on matters of this type but I guess I just did, LOL. Sounds like you have a real "killer" rig. Grant

Felix, I'm pretty sure that I can't post picks here. Photo bucket decided to make me pay for some reason so I just canceled the account. The limbs have the really radical recurve but are just plain jane with black glass. I can't tell what the core wood is but they are much lighter than the really heavy weight bear fascor limbs that I have. The are 60" on an A riser.
Grant I shoot anywhere from 12 to 16 grains to the pound of bow weight most of the time. It is way better for the limbs on all bows, especially with a longer draw. So If I'm shooting @77lbs, that would be up in the 800s for grains at the very least. When I shoot on an outdoor range I like to shoot at 45 yards a lot and some at 60 and 65 and even 80 at one particular range. Most of my hypo bows will gap at 60 yards with a 12 grains per pound arrow. My classic bears are behind that a little but have great potential with more aggressive string material.
These Chastains limbs are smoken fast though and remind of what Schafer limbs must be like( for the bear takedowns). I guess I ought to chrono them.

[cacciatore]

Yes because I think those limbs cost a fraction of the Shafer's.

I thought that Al Reader owned one of Bill Negley's heavyweights, must have read that in the recent TBM interview...
