You can put a drop of stained glue into the holes. If you are good at it they almost disappear, at least enough so they don't irritate you and keep the weather out. I have seen a case where a shooter on a Super K used it as an opportunity to get artistic.

stained glue huh? Well its got the green limbs on it. So I would imagine matching the green wold be rough. But I will give it a try on paper with a few different shades and use what matches best. Yet again....great advice from TG. Thanks all. This bow is a dream! Shoot it for the first time tomorrow!

I picked up a 1970 Grizzly recently. My first 56" Grizz.
I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the 56" 1970. It's quiet and fast for the weight. I am not a huge fan of short bows, but that little bow is a treat.
Good luck and congrats! I agree, it's hard to beat a Bear Grizzly!

Kyle,
If you do a search either here or the history section you will probably find a few threads on the best methods for filling holes left from sights and quivers. If the holes are in the limb glass I first chamfer the edge of the hole with a larger drill bit twisted in my fingers. I usually epoxy a peg in the hole leaving it just short of flush. I fill the void with more epoxy that I have color matched using artist oil pastel colors that you can get at Michaels. After it dries I sand it flush with fine sand paper and then seal it with polyurethane.

Another one would be to sand the belly glass, fill the holes and superglue a thin wood veneer on it with some moderately light clamp pressure for a few minutes. Round it out and taper it nice and then refinish the area.

So time for my "after shoot review," I love this bow! Smooth, Fast and very good looking! This 41 year old bow feels stronger (no scale used yet) than my 7 year old impala (also love my impala). Incredible bow. For some reason my windage is always right on but my elevation tends to hit low. Havent figured out why am shooting low yet but oh well. practice practice practice!

Well, don't think I am out of line stealing this thread, but. My daughter just gave birth to a baby girl. Mom and baby are doing fine. She had the baby at her place and was delivered by the property owner. The baby came fast. He shoots a compound and is thinking about switching. He has a 14 year old son that doesn't have and bow and he wants a recurve. The 42 pound 66 Grizzly I mentioned, a back quiver and a dozen arrows will be going to his 14 year old son.

Back when i was a teen in the 70's i had a bear grizzly.I dont know what year model it was or even where i got it from.I have many fond memories of that bow.I had beagle dogs and across the road from our house there was a large pond with brush all around it.My dogs would run rabbits round and round that pond where i would be standing on an old oak stump waiting.I shot my first bow kill deer with that bow too.Sounds like you have a good one,,enjoy!
