Originally posted by skychief: Stone Knife, I shot the new Bear bows at Cloverdale as they had a booth there.Bows shot included the Grizzly, Super Grizzly, Kodiak, Kodiak Mag, Super 48 and two of their longbows.Several shots through each at my leisure.I should say that I have shot a mid 70's Grizzly the last couple of years. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement! The quality is back in the Bear lineup. I would consider the Grizzly a bargain at it's price point.BTW, the Kodiak turned a lot of heads and I listened to others at the practice bags bragging that bow up. It is a LOOKER for sure. Still, I would feel real comfortable choosing either Grizzly over it (I liked the way they shot better....less handshock).I picked up a custom longbow from Striker bows for a lot more money, so that you know I am not a penny pincher when it comes to bows.I would tell you to not hesitate if you are concerned about a lack of quality or shootability in the Grizzlys. Matter of fact, I see one in my future real soon.Good luck, Skychief.

Originally posted by wooddamon1: I've owned a mid-70s and a mid-2000s, both were 45# at 28", standard. Both good shooters, identical grips. If I get another newer one, it will be the dark brown/reddish riser standard model.Older one: Newer one: I think you'll be happy with yours.
