   This is the letter I sent to Bear customer service tonight. "Good evening. I had purchased this bow recently in good shootable condition. I let a friend draw it back that was not used to a compound. as he was trying to let it off the string rolled off his fingers and the bow was dry fired. After close inspection I have found that the upper limb has been damaged. I have attached photos for you to take a look at for me and in your opinion does this require a replacement limb? If you think it should be replaced do you have any replacement limbs in stock. I am located in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada and there is no dealers in the area. If you do have a limb can you give me some idea as to the cost of sending it here? The specs of this bow are listed below: Bear Sportsman serial number 1564384 Draw weight is set at 55# at 29" Limbs: Straight compression Moulded CarbonGlass Amo string length 36" Amo axle to axle 41" Camo pattern limbs" I did not see a thing on the limb the other night but I thought I should check it again before I shot tonight and found the limb damaged. I think I am going to throw up as I have already sold my old bow. This s u c k s. |

Believe it or not BT over at Archers Edge says he has what I need to get shooting again. He is shipping parts to me.
But I will keep that in the back of my mind.

First off my buddies place is getting back to normal slowly. They had the funeral today so things can move forward now. I also picked up the package from BT with the new limbs in it.   Yea right was I shocked. here is the upper limb.  The lower limb.  The riser. Yup I said riser.  I meant to take a pic as it came out of the box but forgot so here it is with a small amount of work done to it. The sight and cable guard are on but that is all.  and here it is after I got done playing with it this evening.  I can not wait to shoot this bad boy. This thing was new in the box and he sent the cam package for different draw lengths as well. It is plain to say the archers in the archery world sure do stick together. I already told BT that if anyone knows of someone with a Bear Sportsman that needs parts to let me know. Keep in mind the upper limb is shot. |

That is a sweet looking little set up,, BT did ya right  One piece of advice? I would put about 5-7 twists tighter into the buss cable,,the cam looks a little out of time looks like it is rolled forward a tad. Congrats on a sweet shooter,,you will be alot happier with that bow.  |
