The rubber handle is held in place with one piece of double-stick tape on both sides of the magnesium handle. It's loose, poor fitting, and is not what I was expecting from Bear Archery or 3 Rivers. The top limb latch holds the upper limb very loosely when unstrung. I wonder how much 'play' there will be when I release the string (I haven't tried that yet). Once again, not very… read more impressive.

I didn't need this one but boy am I glad I got it! I have been searching for a decent vintage A Mag riser for years, gave up and bought something else because nice vintage Mags can go for a lot more than this new one. Got the green, a black kick back GN riser mount quiver, 50th Ann. limbs and it is SWEET! Definitely will be my go to hunting bow next season. Very grateful Bear… read more released these. Easy to tune with adjustable strike plate and a generous shelf. Finish seems durable, limbs fit right in. I got #1s for a 56" bow. The limbs were marked 38# on B and 40# on A, not what I ordered (selection was for 40# B and 42# A) but they scaled 43# at 28" and I'm happy. Right where I wanted them to be. This riser was everything I'd hoped it to be. One item to note, the grip. It's a softer material than I expected and is supposed to be held on by two small strips double sided tape. Mine would not stay on. I took off the factory tape and put a strip of gorilla two sided tape on the back strap (narrow side under palm) just below where the curve of the shelf begins to near where the grip ends and it has worked great, no more falling or twisting off in hand. Hope they offer the #2 and 3 grips in a harder plastic that snaps on like the old vintage ones.

What would the recommended brace height be for A riser and #3 limbs 60" bow? Also string length 56" or 57" with fast flight? Thanks

For a takedown recurve I suggest a 7.5" to 8" brace height. I al 3 years ago

For a takedown recurve I suggest a 7.5" to 8" brace height. I also go 4" less then bow length, so an A riser with #3 limbs is a 60" bow. A 56" string should give you proper brace height.
