If I am correct, all SUPER MAGS had the high grip, just because of how the riser was made.
As far as the Factory CAMO goes. Most bow makers would cull their production of any bows that were no perfect. These were called Blemished bows and were just as solid and good shooters as the perfect ones. However, many bow makers would mark thes factory seconds as "blemished" and sell them at a discount with full warranty. Bear Archey took a differnet direction. Since their blemished bows were solid shooters, they would paint them and market them as a FACTORY CAMO and add $5-$10. The popularity of the Bear Factory CAMO grew to a point that they often did not have enough BLEMISHED bows to CAMO, so if they got an order for a CAMO BOW, they would paint a perfect one. So, just because you have a camo bow does not mean it was BLEMISHED, and if it is, doe not mean it is a bad bow. Bears bad bows were used as display and marked that way. Feel confident that you have a good now.
On most factory BLEMISHED bow, you could not find the defect if you tried, they were just not up to what that bow maker wanted as a representative of their line.
