I'm not the authority some are, but here's my experience. I have a draw just over 29". I have a recent production ('17 or '18) Bear Takedown. Mine is the A riser (short one) with #3 limbs (long ones) for a 60" AMO bow. Keep in mind that Bear TD limbs are usually marked as drawing 2# heavier on the A riser. I've got limbs marked as 42# for the A riser. They're probably not exactly 42#, as they measure 43.5# at my exact DL.

At any rate, I friggin love this bow. I like the short riser, because it feels more nimble, despite the fact that the TD riser is pretty heavy as takedown risers go in the archery world. I like the long limbs, because they draw very smoothly. The combination makes a relatively nimble but stable and smooth shooting bow. I like it well enough that I bought 32# limbs, too.

There are some drawbacks. The biggest one is the the shelf is cut to center, not past. So tuning can be a little more of a challenge. The latch system is pretty cool but can be prone to small clicks and pops on some bows. Mine has not had that issue, but some do. Different production eras produced different grip profiles, so you might have to try a few to see what you like.

Ultimately, it's only one of several great bows. Try several. The Bear TD was a bucket list bow for me I've wanted since I was a kid. Not everyone gets along with them, but I've been super happy with mine.
