A pic would help alot,but a 1976 Super K has blue overlays on the riser and blue future wood tips. A 1975 has white overlays on the riser and blue future wood tips. The picture of the Super K in the 1976 catalog has a S#25289. My best bet,it's a 1976. The '76 has a nice slender grip and shoots pretty good too. It was the last SK to come out of Grayling.

Without seeing the overlays I would think it is the final year 1976. The arrow rest is crowned very nice and that is how most were made in 76. Should be a great shooting bow.

It has the blue limb tips and black glass front and back. Does that help any?

Oooh man, I'm excited then. Bow shipped to me today and should be here in a couple of days and I'll post some more pics then. The seller says there is quiver inserts on the riser and they look like the 1/4-20 inserts. I have a Bear and Delta quiver that I think will fit it. Thanks for all the info and help.

Sweet!
No hunter should feel guilty for killing a deer that doesnt meet someone else's expectations.

Bear called the wood "futurewood". It was usually an impregnated maple.
