I have a 59 KS I shoot a lot and enjoy it's long nice pulling smooth limbs but recently picked up a 63 K Dogleg and have to admit it's pretty sweet.

I really like shooting my '65 Kodiak, but I also like my '67 Zebrawood Kodiak Hunter, shoots really good but it's hard to beat the looks of that Z-wood.

My current favorite is my '62 Kodiak.  It's fast and can stack arrows like crazy!

The '62 Grizzly with the '65 Kodiak running a close second, but this is subject to change?

   

   

also have a '63 Dogleg & '64 Zebra wood Grizz

My favorite years for Bears are 1959 through 1965.

Do we need to choose just one? I have around 200 Bears and it makes it hard to decide.
