help please with 2 old Bears.
« on: July 24, 2011, 03:19:00 PM »
i picked up a few older Bear bows from an older gentleman at a garage sale. he said he bought this first bow when he was twenty, he is now 70. bow is in pretty good shape but the finish is not so great and tips need to be re-guled i think.

First one is a 59 Kodiak the second is a 65 Grizzly. Great finds both of them but especially the Kodiak!

You shouldn't have any trouble getting your money back. Bring them to Denton on the blanket swap.

59 Kodiak and 65 Griz.  Interesting sight window on the 59 K.  Not really sure what it is.

Regardless Ken......you did REALLY well!

See you Saturday.

Wow!  What a deal you got Ken!  I thought that I made out like a bandit last weekend, but you put me to shame!  Can't wait to see them.
