This is Fred Bear's masterpiece. Shooting it was easy on the boss' lanky frame. Its cast is strong and true. It easily came apart and fit into a small case for convenient travel. When he arrived at a destination, Fred could put it together and go hunting in less than a minute! The Fred Bear TakeDown truly was Fred's "ultimate bow" and he used it almost exclusively for many years. It features a patented limb attachment system that makes perfect alignment a no-brainer every time. A crowned shelf, Bear Hair arrow rest, inlaid compass and fiberglass reinforced limb tip laminates make this a superior shooting instrument. (For 2002, the Fred Bear TakeDown is available in two handle lengths. Reintroducing the popular, classic "A handle" T/D that measures 56 inches. The long, "B-handle" T/D measures 60 inches.)
