it was my grand pa's

[hnt2mch]

couple of weeks ago i took a ride to mi to visit some kin i hadn't seen in several years and while i was there my uncle gave me 2 bows one was a bear 76er with the target riser and the other was a bear grizzly 56" 55lb.he thought it was his but wheni told him the poudage he said no that would be your gradpa's,his and my dad's dad.
 now i already have 2 of his bows from years ago after he passed one is an unkown long bow the other a bear grizzly static recurve i am pretty sure.but i won't shoot them.
 this one however i will.i told my uncle he had just givin me a quest he asked what do you mean i said i will have to kill a deer with this bow.
  after returning home i cleaned the bow up somewhat and as i couldn't wait to shoot it i twisted a string strung the bow and shot it prolly 45 to 75 times friday evening then took it to a small shoot and did well.i am now planning on hunting with it this fall as opposed to next i even got a few bear heads that i will tip the arrows with 64 model i think.sorry for the long post wanted to share with ya'll.

A nice '68 Grizzly.
Way to carry on the Family Tradition.

Great Bow.,   I also have a 1968 Grizzly and love shooting it.  I would shoot this bow as fast as any of my custom ones.

 

Its the bow that I started hunting with.  Good luck with your hunts with it this fall!

There is so much tradition and family history in hunting. I feel the same way about things handed down. Rem. 1100, Tru Temper fly rod. Best wishes on the quest.
