Hello,
I have a bear 76er but it needs a string,no markings on the bow,when I measure it from string nock to string nock it is 57" making the string only 54", for some reason that doesn't sound right to me, any help from any bear bow guros would be great.
thanks trad-doerr  

Your Bear 76 er is a 58" amo and it will take a 54" string.This is with the short riser. The same limbs on the long riser make up an 64" amo and take a 60" string . This info is from a 1973 catalog. Hope this is some help.
