1965 58" Bear Grizzly Draw Max?

[Caughtandhobble]

Hello All,
I need to find out what the max draw length for 58" Bear Grizzly would be. The bow looks to be in great shape, but I have a 30" draw length and I don't want to tear up a piece of history. I would love to shoot and hunt with the bow if y'all give me a thumbs up.
Thanks,
Ben

I've heard of lots of guys pulling 30" on a 58" grizzly. Mixed reviews on stack but I Dont think you need to worry about damaging the bow. May not be the most comfortable bow to shoot for your though.

I draw mine 29 inches, I think 30 would be OK.

I think guys on the history forum may better answer the question.

Good Luck... Great Bows!

They sent me here.  

Thanks!!!

Too Funny. Although I think you would be fine I would like it if a few more people backed it up before you jump.

The theory behind my sending him here was that he will gain access to a larger sample. That has already borne fruit, and I'm quite sure he'll get a basketful of personal testimonials here in no time.

I agree with everything Charlie (Cyclic-Rivers) said.  I also draw mine 29".

If it's a lefty and you're worried about it...just send it to me.  I will take care of it

When I (re)started out in traditional I was drawing 29" (28.5" now that my form has settled in) on my Grizzly, no problems at all - can't imagine 1 more inch would be too much of a problem; it didn't stack for me but never tried playing with it past there just for fun.

I only draw 28" to my normal anchor, but it's no problem to draw my 52" K-Mag back to at least 29", although it starts to stack around there. I can't imagine a 58" Grizzly in good condition having a problem with 30". You might, but probably not the bow.

Thanks Gang!!!

yup I stretch them more than that and never had an issue

Must be older is better. I draw 31 and found most later Bears designs to stack pretty hard after 28 or so.   Joshua
