Try Looking in the trad History and collecting forum a few notches down from the Pow wow option.

Good Luck.
Relax,

If the color scheme is the same as the one mentioned above it's somewhere between 1973 and 1976.  I read some theories on how to date specifically within that date range but I don't recall where I read that information - TG or some other source.  

Have seen several folks speak highly of how that era shoots.  Have not had the opportunity to hold one yet myself.

I've had a few Grizzlies with a KR but never one with a KA serial number. Is it a Grayling bow?
