I’ve been thinking about doing a Bear mini mag, but I haven’t figured out which way to go yet. I think the minuteman is similar. Would you post a pic?

Excuse my ignorance but I’m not familiar with a Equalizer that you said was a favorite. What is that or who was it made by?

Hi, It’s an older Pearson Compound. I think they made some models with the same riser under different names. I think they were Bushmaster, Spoiler, and Shadow. Like Bear Black Bear and Bear Black Panther and Jennings Black Lightening are the same.

Thats so cool! I could see how building and bringing various bows together could be very addictive! Man id love to have a similar bow around 50-55 lb draw for bowfishing. Please expound all you wish on this subject because you are certainly bringing something new to the table for us here on TradHunter, I'm all eyes and ears.... 8-)

Thanks Shadowhntr...Yeah,they are addictive! The thing is you can use one set of limbs on different risers or one riser with different limbs. Much like ILF, but you do the risers at home. If you have acces to a milling machine or a friend that’s a machinist you got it made if you want to get fancy with mounting limbs. A friend of mine milled the compound limb butts for me on a Bear...but it’s not necessary to mount them like this ...it was just an idea I had. I’m a Dremmel tool and file DIY’er.
