Super Grizzly or Super Kodiak ?

[Johan van Niekerk]

I know, I know...it comes down to personal preference. But, I would really like people with experience in shooting both to give me some pros and cons.

I want to buy one of these two bows and due to where I live I simply cannot test shoot them myself. I've repacked my online shopping cart about 500 times.

So which would you choose and why?
Is there a noticeable difference in speed? or accuracy/consistency? Have any of you chronographed them?

My personal preference would be the Super Kodiak.  I just like the way it feels when I shoot one of my Super Kodiak's over the Super Grizzly.

You need to get a good coin.
Then flip it into the air and call it, heads or tails.
Oh, wait, forget to assign heads or tails to the bows in question.
I personally lean towards the Super Griz just because it's a little shorter.
Either one I'm sure you will be happy with.

Honestly....?? They both shoot about the same.
Only 2" between the 2 of them, an inch on each end, most folks can't tell the difference.

I personally like the smoother lines, and curved shape of the riser on the Grizzlys. I've always been a Grizzly Guy!!
Fred marketed it as the "working man's bow" BUT then again... Papa Bear shot Kodiaks. It's a personal choice.

Like buying a car.... Look at them both. Then, pick the one that makes you look good!!!!

I own multiple versions of both models. All are Grayling makes. My first trad kill was with a Super Grizzly.

Hands down get the Super Kodiak. Its just a nicer bow.

I have two SK’s , sure there is only 2” diff in length but I just shoot the longer bow better. I would say also the addition weight in the riser makes a difference to me as well. No, not a lot of weight but just enough.

I’ve never shot a super grizzly so take this with a grain of salt. I have a 50# Super Kodiak and I absolutely love it.

I asked, "The Super K is one of the most functional perfectly balanced bows ever designed, better with no bow quiver. Remember that heavy buck that i shot that 4 by Delta through? The buck went down before the arrow came out of the branches."  Note, the only deer my husband shot when his feet were not touching the ground. Someone strapped a silo ladder to a tree, he saw the three deer coming and knew that he could not shoot from where he was because of the brush. He told me to duck, he went half way up and stuck a leg through it. The deer went on a higher trail at about a horse canter pace, pretty long shot. When the buck made it to small clearing the arrow went through both lungs and up into some branches. The big buck went about 40 yards and skidded to a dead stop on his side.  I could also tell about the 6 quarters tossed across the target from off to the side, all hit in succession from about 10 yards with a Super Kodiak. Quote, "If you only want one recurve that would be my choice."

I've have owned 4 Grizzly's and shot several Super K's. I would pick a Super K every time. It is just a more stable platform for me. They are both great bows for the price point.

For a pure hunting bow I would get the Super Grizzly. 58” is the sweet spot for a hunting bow for me. Super K for everything else

I like both but I find the SK more stable, quiet and forgiving for sure due to its mass. So if I have to choose only one it would be a SK
