Old Fred Bear bow n' stuff?

[Ufatz]

I inherited and old Bear bow, modest draw weight, probably 30-40lbs and a really nice leather quiver stuff with arrows and a box of six new arrows. I have no use for the stuff and have not even looked at archery stuff for years. The bow has a "set" in one limb and someone has wrapped the grip but the bow seems to want to draw properly.

Is the bow worth saving with that set in it? I want to sell the whole batch to somebody but will take the bow and toss it in the firepit if it has no value to anyone.

Whats the word?

Take some pics and PM me, I might be interested - especially in the quiver. The traditional bug has bitten me this year and I've got some Bear TD stuff that it might work with!

What do you.mean by a "set" in one limb. Anything Fred bear in traditional archery is worth money if its in good condition. What are the patent dates.

What I mean is one limb stays curved when the bow is unstrung. I called it a set because that is what it would be called in a bamboo rod...a permanent "curve" that stays there. I know the stuff has value but I want to make sure the bow is still useful with the curve to it. I KNOW it still strings and draws okay.

Thanks fellas.

Uhhhhh......that's it? No guidance re: permanent curve in bow? Don't want to tell some guy about it and then he comes to see it and it has that "set" in it.
