Which bear is best?
« on: January 11, 2013, 08:42:00 PM »
I have 6 bear recurves from the seventies, which would you rank as the best shooter:
Super Kodiak
Kodiak Magnum
Grizzly
Black Bear
Black Panther
76er (55lb)
Or a Shakespeare Wonderbow longbow
All are 45lb @ 28" and in good repair.

Super Kodiak all the way followed by the Grizzly... At least from my 1967 bows.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I have had a kodiak magnum that shot well but it was too short for me. I would love to have a new super kodiak or the 59.

The most accurate recurve I have is a black bear compound riser that was WARFED to accept ILF limbs. Medium ******** blackmax limbs and that thing really shoots. Love the bear grip on that riser.

With a collection like that you need to treat yourself to a Grayling Super Grizzly.

Probably the Super K, but I cannot be sure.  Feel free to ship them to me and I will let you know!  :thumbsup:

All depends on the shooter, no bow is universal. Different styles, draws lengths and unique physical characteristics of shooters dictate what bow performs the best for each individual. That being said, the 1962 Grizzly is the BEST for ME! lol!!
