Bear Grizzly-What have I got? (pics!)
« on: April 28, 2009, 11:46:00 PM »
I just bought this for my wife to give to me for my birthday:-).  So what do I have (I mean, what will I get:-)?  I know it is a Grayling Grizzly (the silkscreens are in good shape).  It has black glass and white tips, flush brass coin, factory bushing.  So what year is it, what kind of wood, anything else interesting.Thanks.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Looks pretty much like my own (only in far better condition!), which is supposed to be 1971. Only mine has a silvery medaillon, aluminium perhaps?
Mine is KR 91967, 58", 45#.

Have still not found the time for restoration     :(
