Bear Cheyenne 55" Recurve Review

Now accepting back orders. ...read more

Since it was first introduced in 2002, The 55" Bear Cheyenne has impressed and inspired traditional archers with its swept back style limbs and half-moon style grip reminiscent of Fred Bear's favorite bows of the early 60s. Bear Archery has updated the Cheyenne with a new blend of quality woods, but still featuring the classic design and exceptional performance bowhunters and target shooters have come to expect.

The Cheyenne was a collaboration between father and son - Grant Neil Byce II, Fred Bear's retired master bowyer, and Grant Neil Byce III, Bear Archery's current Operations Manager.

Riser: Radiused, cut-past center shelf. The half-moon grip feels full in the hand while allowing for positive hand placement every time you pick up the bow. 2-piece construction of black maple and shedua. Leather side plate and bear hair arrow rest included. Tapped with 1/4" x 20 quiver inserts. Inlaid Bear medallion.

Limbs: Limb Cores made with maple laminate and overlaid with high-strength black fiberglass. The handcrafted bow tips are layered black and white fiberglass, allowing the use of today's modern bow strings.

Right handed only. Weights of 40, 45, or 50# @ 28". Please specify.
