Hiya boys, just wanted to show off my latest find. I was working at a customers home they other day and noticed some hunting and archery gear sitting on the floor. We got to talking because i have the same bow case. The older gentle man said that all that stuff is goin to the yard sale and asked if I would like to take a look. Well long story short, this man pulls out a Bear "Grizzly" in pristine condition. Guys when I say pristine I mean it look like it just came off the show room floor. Heres where it gets good. Holding back my amazement off the condition of this old bow. He asks me if I am interested in buying it along with ALL its accessories and matching bear arrows. I reply hell yes I am...he "oh good because I really didn't think I would be able to sell it".

Great story... I do real estate home inspections and I keep hoping to run across a find like this. Hundreds of houses in the last 6-7 years and maybe seen archery gear 3 times. I'd like to see pics if the bucket starts working again.

PhotoBucket is working fine for me. What's your malfunction?
I would REALLY like to see what you found. Killdeer

One HECK of a deal, indeed! You probably need to buy a lottery ticket.

WHAT A PACKAGE! By the looks I am thinkin a 1967. What is the serial #?
In the mid to late 1960's you could tell the year by the first # of the serial #.
I have a 1967 43# that I was stacking up arrows with last night. I really like that bow.
That's a find of a lifetime. What is the serial #, AMO and weight?
