Look what a guy at work handed me.
« on: April 04, 2007, 08:48:00 PM »
One of my co-workers knew I was a traditional enthusiast. He told me he had an old Bear recurve at home.  He said he thought it was from 1949.  I was very skeptical and asking him more about it I was sure he hadn't a clue.  After our conversation he said he had researched it on the internet and figured out it was most likely from the "70's".  He then asked if I would like to have it.  The next day he brought it to work and gave it to me.

Here it is:
It is a Grizzly 35#

   
   

     
This is the only scratch on it.

Good fishing bow right there. Forget the lottery and save your money, I think you used up this months allotment of luck.

They were making 3000+ bows a day back then. There are so many gems waiting to be rediscovered.

I'm just so happy its almost gargage sale season again! And for you! Hard to believe, as I did'nt find anything like that! Those lower poundage bows are such a treat to shoot. ALLDAY! And just as fun! And how well they tune your form. It will teach you a lot granted you already did'nt have a lower poundage bow. And you make use of it!

Boy thats the kind of bow I need for my son. He is going to be old enough to take the NJ hunter safety class and I've been looking for a 35# bow so that he can take the shooting part of the test.
I'm happy for you that you have a friend such as the one who gave that bow to you. You are blessed. It sure is nice looking too.
Oh well I'll keep my search going for a bow he can use and practice with for his shooting test.

Got me beat.

I had to trade my boss a ultralight fishing rod/reel for a 47# 65 Kodiak.

I'll take that trade any day...
