1970 grayling green Grizzly 56" 48#@28....my first trad bow

[hardwaymike]

I have a 48# cub that I am finishing out the season with. But all of the trad bows except 2 have been Bears. A grizz, k-mag and a k-hunter. All very good shooters. This cub has really surprised me. I don't understand why they are not as popular as some of the others. Mike

I have 4 Bear TD bows, an old Grizzly and an old, but mint, Bear Kodiak Hunter.

The primary bow of the group right now is a Bear greenstripe with 51# Rose Oak limbs. It is very fast, stable and accurate.

I now own a 1959, 1962 & 1965 Bear Kodiak. Love the old vintage Bear bows and the history behind each bow.

I grab my '53 Grizzly every so often just shoot a bow that's almost as old a I am (my '51 has the aluminum lam in it).

My most prized bow possession is my 1968 Bear Kodiak Hunter given to me by my dad in 1969 when I got home from the marines .

[NothingHappenedToday]

Have a Bear Ranger from 1970-72, a current Bear Grizzly, and a new Bear AuSable (which is now my favorite bow).

[finkm1]

I have a 69 Kodiak Hunter,73 or 74 (Green) Kodiak Mag and a 71 Kodiak Mag with AMS retriever for bowfishing.

[kadbow]

I have a few Bears but plan on hunting with my 1963 Kodiak next year, it will be our 50th B-day.

[Cookus]

Although I have various Bears, I'm always partial to the 1967 Bear lineup since it's my birth year!  Currently my TradGang brothers have helped me acquire a '67 Super Kodiak, a '67 Grizzly, and a '67 Kodiak Hunter.   There is always room in the stable for more...!   My bows are all in the 45-55lb range.

New, old , longbow, recurve, if its a Bear let it be known.
Thought it might be fun to see who's shootin'em.
Pics are great too.      

OK, I'll play. Purchased my 45#@28" Bear Grizzly from a well known TG member. I love this bow.

Two here I shoot a 58 Kodiak special 53# my wife shoots a 52 kodiak 32# both mint condition

[razorback]

First bow I got was a late 70"s early 80's bear grizzly 55#. I still have it and shoot it more than anything else, not that I have a big collection.
