hi guys I recently got this bow in a trade from a member on here but to be honest there is way too much power for me to handle.
its a bear compound bow probably a model called the black bear due to the fact its black. but don't quote me on that! it has pin sight with it just not shown in the photos the draw weight is adjustable via equal turns on the limb bolts ive turned the power down to about 57lbs @ 28" but you can crank it back up if you wish.

am wanting £90. plus £12 postage uk mainland but I would prefer face to face local meetup if possible

or I would trade this for a decent spring powered or c02 air rifle. or basic one with slight cash adjustment.
decent spring or co2 powered single shot air pistol.
older spring powered pistol with cash adjustment.
full size modern crossbow.
enzo trapper knife local meetup only
optimus svea 123 or better stove. must be perfect working order
optimus hiker stove. must be in perfect working order
gransfors bruks wildlife hatchet or equivilant axe with cash adjustment.
gransfors bruks small forest axe or equivalent axe with cash adjustment.
gerber bear grylls compact parang with cash adjustment

more swap items will be added in a few mins. cheers guys p.s. please excuse the poor photos they are from my camera phone

here is the beast

Just looked , it's been a while since it was last used. It's a bit rough and the pump is taking longer than it should to pressure up. Ignore that suggestion.

Good luck with yer trade :thumbup:

I've got a hiker 111b. It needs a pump washer, I think, but I'll give it a good going over and fettle anything that needs attention, if you're interested.

I realise the photos don't do this bow justice but my camera phone wont focus properly on the black. ive tried for better photos but they come out just as bad.

I did some looking online.....it maybe slightly over priced, but there's only second hand US eBay prices to go buy. Might be worth a look and re valuing?

cheersa for that mate I did have a look myself but cant find the exact same bow
but I will take your advice and drop the price again. so with that in mind the cash sale price is now and for the last time lowered from £70 plus £12 postage to £60 plus £12 postage but as I said face to face meetup there is no postage charge and the list of wants for this bow remains the same
cheers guys.
