Bear Archery launched this great take down recurve riser that features a 50th Anniversary logo stamped onto the riser in commemoration of the legendary heritage of the Take Down. This specific "A" riser length can be paired with a #1 or #3 length limbs to build a 56" or 60" bow respectively. Click the link above to learn more!

I get it's a riser review but I'd love to see it set up with matching limbs and shot a few times :)

Received mine after 2 months. Wonderful accurate quiet smooth

I’ve had this bow for six months now, and while I love it, there are some issues I wish I would’ve known about before dropping $1k. First off, it’s a known issue with the riser design that the limbs may move a little in the limb pockets. While this is less than a millimeter, it does make a click or creaking sound, which scares the ever loving beejezuz out of you when you’re approaching full draw and you think your bow is going to snap. The solution they recommend is to put felt on the base of the tips, or a little silicone, but both will wear down eventually. Talking to guys have owned this bow for a long time they say eventually the small motion smooths out whatever’s hanging up in the pocket and the clicking stops. Secondly, the carpet on the riser looks like it came out of an office complex in 1984. Easy fix. I chose to remove it and throw n a magnet flipper bc I don’t usually shoot off the shelf. Finally, each generation of these risers uses different material to create their look. Mine has phenolic and a reddish bubinga. I love the look. Unfortunately, even large vendors like three rivers don’t track what wood is on the base of the limbs they are selling. So sometimes I’ll get a black-base limb, which works with the phenolic, or I’ll get a greenish maple wood at the base of the limb, which looks goofy. Bear archery has not great customer service, so you’re kind of on your own on that. The best bet for additional limbs may be EBay where you can be in contact with the seller and be sure you’re getting what you want. Then you just have to trust the condition. None of these issues are fatal, and the bow shoots like a dream, or like a savage monster, depending on the limb weight you throw on. But had I known this before I dropped a grand on a riser and limbs, I may have thought twice. My recommendation would be to get on the bear archery forums on Facebook, where new risers like this pop up regularly for 60% of MSRP.

That thing's way too big. Need to be about 8 or 10 in tall

[@LancasterArcherySupply]

Dustin is not a "thing" and he would look very weird if he was only 8 or 10 inches tall

The compass is a total turn off. Makes the bow gimmicky. Otherwise, beautiful.

[@caseymoore4759]

It’s because when the bow was designed…… having a compass was important. The design never changed
