Hello,
I'm an new member from Germany.
I started with archery in 1978 at the age of 14. One year later our scene here in Germany was swapped by all the beautiful Bear recurve bows at a very low price because in your country the compound fever broke out. (Hope I express myself the right way).
I got two bows from my dealer. A Bear Kodiak Hunter and a Bear Bruin II. Unfortunately I cannot find anything about the latter one but it was made in Grayling, Mi.
In the mid-80s I started shooting with muzzleloaders, later changed to hunting with rifle and shotgun (bowhunting is illegal in Germany) but now found back to my roots - archery.
I wondered if my old bows would still work without beeing damaged and was quite astonished when I found this site here via a German archery forum.
And now I'm here, reading and reading.
A few days ago I bought a Bear Grizzly from 1969 at a mail order dealer here in Germany. Unfortunately the old bow as not arrived yet but hope I would be able to test it on Saturday or Sunday.
By the way: Some of you may know the man who was the owner of my nickname: Elmer Keith. I admire him because of his way to live and the way he mastered his life during difficult times in the 20s and 30s.
