I have a '57 Kodiak, '66 Kodiak, '70 Super Kodiak and a mid-80s Takedown.
I'd say my favorite to shoot and hunt with is the '66. Although, I have a green stripe take down on the way for turkeys. We shall see

I have owned dozens of Grizzlys and really enjoy them. I have owned Kodiaks, Kodiak Specials, Polars, Super Kodiaks. They have all come, many have gone. These 4 beauties are here and likely always will be. You can say they look beat up. Maybe you can say they are cheap. These are used. They were used to do what they do, and boy do they shoot well! They were loved and they still are.
I could do just fine on any shooting I need with these 4 1959/1960 Alaskans
PS - you can really see the difference between the 1959 slim grips and 1960 fat grip that permeated all models between those years.

I bought a LH'66 Grizzly in January and really like that bow. It's 58" 52#@28". Really has me fired up to find a LH 56". I was told they only came out from 1968-70.
I had a beautiful '67 Super KMag, but I broke it. Kind of spooked me off the old Bears, but I'm back at it. Always wanted a few Grayling Bears.

Really like that 56" Grizzly you have, David. And that slide-on Selway quiver is the one I have in mind for mine.

My favorite is my 71 a kodiak Hunter. Just picked it up from Dad yesterday. Remember him shooting it when I was a kid and when I was big enough I shot it for years. Needs cleaned up and the coin replaced but hopefully it will still shoot

I like most of the Bears. I've shot the Supermag, Magnum, Hunter, Grizzly, the Black Panther, & the Super K.
All of them are fun. probably my favorite is the Kodiak Hunter, that's the bow I started with in the mid 60s.
The Super K is a very good bow, & I may own another some day.
Nice thread, thanks for starting it.

I recently acquired a fabulous '57 Kodiak from Bearbowman, 64" and 37lbs@30", that may well have beaten out all other Bear bows except for the dead tie with the '59 Kodiak Special that's 66" and 35lbs@28". Meanwhile, a '58 Kodiak, 64" and marked 44lbs@28" but draws more like 40@@28 is moving up in the outside lane.

Those arrows match that Grizzly very well David
