Bear Grizzly age?
« on: July 06, 2007, 01:41:00 PM »
Ok, serial number starts with HC so that really only tells me that it is pre 70's and pre 65.
Coin looks like brass so, 63-70. No leather grip wrap so that by process of elimination means 64'. Is that right? The riser is zebra wood if that means anything to anyone.

Thanks,
Brian

If it's a 58" bow, zebrawood with brown glass, with those numbers it would be a 1964. Sixty four and five were the only years for a solid zebrawood riser. If it were a 65 it would start with a 5. CKruse

Strange that ther serial number would start with "HC".  That was Bears designation for "High Compression" riseres.  Hc-30, HC-300.  Are you sure it is not "4C".  The 4 would not indicate 1964.  It would designate "Grizzley".  I know a "2C" was the '64 Kodiak.

Just a thought.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I bet you are right. I was semi-guessing from a poor quality **** photo.

Thanks,
