post the serial number, if it starts with a K and has a raised emblem it is 70s then from there you need to post the color of the stripe if it has one to find out what date

Hi,
Bear Bows are easily to know the period who was made.... medallion, serial number, lenght, glass color and wood are the revealing things...
Please post S/N,lenght and colour of front/back glass..

Early 70's, '72 or '73.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I'm thinking it's later than 71 if it's green future wood
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river been poisoned
and the last fish been caught
will we realize that we cannot eat money
