There are actually a lot of pictures of Bear bows in the Trad/history collecting forum, that is unless you want to try and get some of them to post here.

Lots of old Bear bows out there. 1962 is one of my favorite years. Some of the Bear models from '62. Hard to believe they will all turn fifty in the next few months   From left to right Kodiak Special, Grizzly, Kodiak, Kodiak and four Kodiak Magnums

A link to a thread about my '57? Kodiak Special:

 http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=095051;p=1

My '67 or '69 (can't remember which) Kodiak Hunter:

 

 

I'm not sure how old this green Kodiak Magnum is (somewhere in the '70s):

Bjorn,

Beauty of a 59 Griz!

Ben,

Your Kodiak Hunter is a 70-72. Kodiak Hunter silkscreens on back 70-71. No stabilizer bushing 1970. Silkscreen on belly 72. You Kodiak Magnum is a 76-77.

Here are Kodiak Magnums 61-77

John,

 Really like the Mag Risers. I have a couple of the Magnesium B handles but would like to pick up an A at some point. I like the wood risers too.

 

David,

 The '62 models had some great looking Rosewood.

A '69 Tamerlane. A bit older than I am, but still shoots well.
