I have never shot a 48" supermag and noone around here has one. I have shot plenty of grizzlys and love em. I have finally decided to go with a "cheaper" bow to hunt with after many many bows owned and never fell in love with any of the 500 - 1000 dollar bows. But I pick up an old bear and love it.
I am seconds away from ordering a new grizzly but I am thinking about the supermag now.
thoughts?
will be drawn 29" and will be purchased in either 50 or 55#

Don't order a short bow like that without shooting one first IMO. The reason I got out of traditional archery 35-40 years ago was the Kodiak Magnum I had that stacked like crazy and was a miserable bow to shoot. From my experience a 29" draw with a 48" bow is asking for trouble but everyone is different and you may like it - shoot one first.

Without question, I would go with the Grizzly, altho I prefer the Grayling over the Gainsville models. The 48" Supermag has its place, but it's not that comfortable or easy to shoot and lacks performance, IMO. The Griz however is a GREAT bow. I really like the '64-67 models.

I can't shoot short bows worth a darn and my draw is only 27.5"...
The Grizzly is a much smoother bow because of the length. I had a newer 58" that I gave a newbie that shot great for me. I'd go with the Grizz...

I believe you'll enjoy shooting the Grizzly alot more than the Super Mag. And, with a 29" draw you probably won't be happy with the shorter bow.

I liked the looks of the reddish dyed wood on the newer ones as opposed to the tan color of the one I gave away. I don't think there's a difference besides maybe a tad more mass weight with the Super Grizzly having an extra accent stripe in the riser.They are sharp looking, though. $100 more for the Super seemed steep to me, so if I were shopping for one I'd get the reddish risered one...but it's your bow get what you like!

I have a LH Super Mag 48 and draw 29". I feel stack that last little bit. It's a 60# bow.
I have a Super Grizzly 50# from the 70s. I LOVE THAT BOW!!
