Dont have a grizzly but last year i killed two 10 points with k-mags.

The first one is a 1970 k mag
 
     

  This one is a 1963 (if i can remember right)

This is a 1971 model Briser TD. I've used this bow for over twenty-five years.

This is a 1969 Super Kodiak, 60" 65@28. Very good shooter but almost too pretty to drag around in the woods.

This is my primary bow. A 1969 StyleI B riser, no. 1 limbs, 66#@28, 60" lng. I use these bows hard and they have all been refinished by Bowdoc Ward and three have been modefied by him to suit my particular preferences. My son owns a couple of Grizzlies-a '65 and a '66. They are his favorites even above the Super K that I gave him. A good friend is also a die-hard Griz fan. Takes game every year.                            Grant

After seeing the beauties posted above, I almost feel ashamed to show my Bear, but here it is.

I tend towards the older Bears.  A 42# Cub, A 38# Cub, A 60# and a 54# of the same year Cub, a 1955 or so Polar that I replaced the leather on, and the newest Bear I've got is a 1968 Cub that I've not taken pictures of yet.  RonP

The only grizzly I ever held felt really strange. I ended up getting the montana because of it.

It wasn't just the high wrist, other high wrist bows feel fine. But that one felt really odd in the hand.

But its known to be a quality bow. If the grip suits you than I think its fine.

Bjorn- nice rack of bows there. You fellas (and ladies, Killie) have some good looking specimens.My son ended up with all my bows that I didn't actually hunt with and he turned out to be a great curator. I still don't quite know what it is that draws me to these bows but they are magnets for me.               Grant
