Five, all working field bows, not collector items, at least not for me.

 

Left to right:

58" Grizzley 65#
60" Kodiak Hunter 50#
64" Polar 45#
62" Alaskan 44#
64" Kodiak 47#

First two are RH the rest are Dbl shelf. Kodiak is the most recent. Got it realatively cheap at the auction site (missing tip overlay) and replaced the tips with FG to shoot FF string. The Polar and Alsakan have helped several kids start out, not real fast, but easy to shoot. The recurves are great performers. The 50# Kodiak Hunter has taken a doe from the ground with an old green razorhead and cedar shaft and is also my go to fish bow.

This is a beautiful zebrawood Grizzly 65'. A great shooter. 42#, really pretty. Also have a Cub and Black Bear. Cub is the best shooter for me. More longbowish.

As promised (just a little late), here is my 55#, 62" '59 Grizzly.  It was refinished by bowdoc and it looks new.  You cannot believe how good it shoots.  It has me rethinking that whole longbow thing ;-)

Great thread guys (and gals). I traded for a KH this past weekend. 55# 60" with the white riser overlays and tip overlays. Any suggestions on how to clean the white overlays up ? The bow is near immaculate but the white has yellowed with age.Polsihing compound maybe ?
