A nice old Grizzly
« on: August 07, 2012, 07:08:00 PM »
A friend picked this nice old 1960 Grizzly up at an antique shop.

I bought a string for it and did some shooting today. I don't think I have ever shot a quieter recurve.

Neat old bow with a gorgeous Zebrawood I-Beam and some very tiny tips.

Jay,

Thanks for sharing. I just love these old grizzlies. Between the classic lines and their green glass, then add their shootability,hard not to love!  One day I hope to find one like this one you have here.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Nice one....a true classic and man do they shoot nice!

The quiet factor of this bow is off the charts. That is key if I am going to really like a bow.

The 62" Grizzlies are phenomenal bows and as you state very quiet.  Congrats on a great bow!
