My New Bow.
« on: December 09, 2009, 10:07:00 PM »
It's a 1967 Bear Grizzly, 58", 45#, Bubinga riser; the working mans recurve according to Papa Bear.   I just acquired it via the magic of internet.     I'll post more photos when it arrives next week.

42 years young!!  That is one of the very cool things about trad bows still flinging arrows after all these years.  You kind of wonder about the stories a bow like that could tell or what it has seen.  Joe

You'll like it, George, looks to be in great shape, too.  I have a 67 Griz as well, 55 lb, and it is a great bow.  One of my favorite recurves.  Very nice grip, points great, very good performance.  Much better bow than the 70's model Griz, IMO.  Enjoy!

Sweet.

Grizzly's are a "bargin" in my opinion.


A bit of a different animal, but a 62" grizzly is on my next bow list.

NICE George!!!!!   :thumbsup:  

I have a 47# 1967 Grizzly that I won at the JLMBH raffle a few years ago.

I used that bow to take a nice spikehorn in 2007 for the old Grizzly's 40th "birthday".

Good Luck with her George!!!!!
