Title: New to me 1959 Grizzly .. Awesome
Post by: Tyler C. Moore on September 21, 2014, 10:08:00 PM

I was lucky enough to acquire this all original '59 grizz in great shape. Took it out for the first time and man is it sweet. The grip is more angular than my '62, and it's lacking the palm swell I like in my '62, but non the less it is sweet!

Beautiful bow!  Great shooters!  I tend to like the 1962's better as well (in terms of shooting characteristics).  There's no doubt the 1959's are tremendous and much easier to hunt with the green glass.  

Congratulations on a great bow!

It would be tough to find a line-up of better bows than those from '59-'62.

And yes, your Griz looks like a keeper to me.

A friend of mine is a bit of a grizzly collector.He think they are the best performers in the lineup.
