Hard to pick one. This is an old pic. More Bears now rest here.

I'm a grizzly fan.

I've hunted with many, killed my first deer with a Grizzly many years ago.  But the one I enjoyed the most was the Super Kodiak.

Pleasure to shoot, easy to tune, very quiet.

My 1966 Kodiak shoots as well as any bow out there using a dacron string. My B handle takedown (current production) is a great bow too.  Being able to use a quality fury string (tenring strings) makes any bow less harsh to shoot and really optimizes the new takedown. Do not judge it based on the factory string.

What qualities do you guys like about your favorite bear? I have a fondness for k mags because its what my dad had and what I learned on. I liked the lines and compactness but it stacked at my draw length. I haven't had the pleasure of trying other models...yet, and was wondering WHY you like certain bear bows?

Bear 76'r, other than one compound, this is the only model I've owned

[Lordswarrior]

would have to say its a tie between my 66 kodiak, 63 griz dogleg, and a nice 40# tigercat.

I said I was a Grizzly fan, but I forgot to mention that I have been messing around with a Bear T/D Mag riser that is darn nice to shoot.     I guess I like them all.

[M60gunner]

I have a couple SK's and TD's. My Mag riser TD and my new Bigfoot limbs sure shoots great. Right now it is a favorite. WHY, for me it is the grips. I have shot other recurves that are as good or better in performance but just could not "get a grip". Not all Bear grips are the same as you may realize. My later model SK I modified to be like my 72 SK. Even my wood TD riser had some wood sanded off. I have big hands but not long fingers.

I've been making my own bows for about 6 yrs now, the only trad bow I've ever bought was a Kodiak Magnum 45#, I got it at a flee market over 20 yrs ago, the bow is much older than that and still shoots great,not bad for $10, I will never sell it.

[nek4me]

I have a Black Bear 45# bought new in '73 I believe and hadn't used it in well over 30yrs.  Back then I had camo painted it and when I decided to give trad a try again a couple months ago I stripped the camo off and the face was yellow and back black. I had forgotten about the yellow and kind of like it on this kinda new to me again bow.

Also have a '69 Little Bear 20# at 24" that brings back memories as my first wood handle bow and took my first game with it - a squirrel that jumped the string into my arrow for a clean head shot!

[Mike Falkner]

'67 K Mag 48" 45@28.  Same year model as I am, best grip of any bow I've ever handled, killed my first trad deer with it.  Keeper.
