well i got up there and back. i  brought home a 1968 bearcat 66 inch 48# like new recurve  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.  boy am i happy i went up there for the tigercat but it was to small for my hand. the bear cat felt better now i need to work on my arm strength . the guy i got it from said to get a 12 strand string for it . learn to shoot it till i work my muscles then when im comfortable shooting it. go to a 14 strand for hunting . its a little bit hard for me to pull right now but im sure after i shoot it a while i will build up the muscles to shoot it easier.  boy its a nice bow black outside and white on the inside brown handle white limb tips and a looks to be copper bear coin in the side.  ill get pics up soon theres a few spots where something dripped on it just discolored a lil bit but no crazing or stress cracks.  almost new looking wow im happy now to see if the arrows i have fly straight from it.  they are st epic 600 full length carbons with 125gr. field tips hope they shoot good going to try to get up to my buddys this weekend to try it out oh did i say im happy  ;D

Sounds like you did well!  Good luck with your shooting.
