I agree with Jeff W.

The 1969 phenolic and rosewood Super K is one of Bear's most beautiful bows. I think they have a coup in bringing this one back.

The fact that Bear is making the 59 and the 69 again is terrific. As long as they exercise proper quality control, the new/old Bear bows will become classics. If I had the cash I would one or more of each.

Kudos for Bear Archery.

found a great dealer in BEAR that will try and find me the new one in weight I want....I am thrilled with my new Kodiak and am looking forward to seeing and hopefully having the new  68 .....
I like the idea of bringing back the vintage styled bows.....
being a lefty it is tough to find the original classic BEARS...in the weight I want
talked with BEAR today and maybe I will get the weight I am looking for...

I am excited about this new release. I have owned a ton of customs over the last few years and the old and new Bears shoot as good as any of them. I purchased a 59 Kodiak last year and loved it. I just wish they would off it in 64" for longer draw folks. My current go to bow is a two-tone take down, Man I love that thing. I am on the list at Big Jim's for the re-release of this Super K. I bet it will be a shooter!

I like the old Bears!! I grew up with them...

However, I also have a few "custom" bows. I never use them, They haven't been strung up in years.

I have a few old 60's Grizzlys, and a pair of 50# 1972 Grizzlys than Tyler & I hunt with. I have always wanted a Kodiak T/D, but never bought one...

I have no issues whatsoever, with buying a new Bear bow!!!!! Kudos to Bear Archery for bringing back the old classics, and continueing to manufacture a fine line of "production" Traditional Bows!!! Perhaps, one day, Bear may again be the Legendary Company they once were... But, that will only happen if folks buy their bows.

My next bow, will be the Bear "Compass Kodiak" TakeDown,(new,of course)that I have always wanted!!!!!

What will yours be???
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

The 68 Super K in my opinion is the standard to which all custom recurves are measured against. Timeless design that shoots as good as it looks!

I emailed Bear and they said these bows will be available in 64" as well as the 60".

                      This is what I would be looking for prior to a repro. Grayling 69 at it's finest!!       :)
