    Most likely none of the younger guys around here will remember them. I never owned one but I do remember them. As I recall they were quite innovative for their time

    Back in the day, my very first compound bow was the Bear Polar LTD. I believe it was Bear's first compound. I gave it to a young neighbor who wanted to get into bow hunting, since I had upgraded to a newer bow. Many years later, I learned from his dad that he never really pursued archery, making me wish I never gave it away. It would be neat to still have it for sentimental reasons.
