[Jerry Fowler]

I bought an old grizzly at tradfest.i think it's a 1960. I would like to replace the grip if anybody knows where to get one does anyone know what the correct rest is bear hair or feather ?
Thanks

Thanks dahyer
I picked up a bear hair rest for it. I was curios as to what it came from the factory with.

My 2015 grizzly came with bear hair and leather strike plate my local shop sells the pair for 5 bucks.

Doesn't get much better than a grizzly. Such an amazing bow. Make sure you get a quality string from one or resident makers.

[Jerry Fowler]

The strike plate is similar to the ones on the kodiak.
The remade 59's have a feather rest. Thought maybe the 59 and 60 grizzly might have the same.

Bearbowman made the string for my Browning Safari. I'll probably get one from him once I figure out the brace height.

[Petrichor]

Mine braces perfect around 8. Most grizzly brace poorly below 7.75 from what i understand. Hope this helps.

[Petrichor]

Only the 59 I've seen comes with feather. However i have seen people put feather on grizzly.

Allen from ten rings strings made my strings and he is fantastic to work with. Also you may know but no fast flight for grizzly. Use b50

According to the 1960 bear catalog, the rest is a feather rest. My '59 Grizzly also has the feather rest.

Thanks for the info. How do  like the feathers compared to bear hair.

[Petrichor]

I have shot both and i just like the hair better. Don't know why but both work very well
