I'm a fan of 70's and older Bear bows.

How about some pics of them with game they have taken???

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Here's my first with a recurve from a few years ago - killed with a Bear "Stag Hunter" that my grandfather gave me - apparently manufactured in the early to mid 70's.

Sorry for the crappy quality - was late after we got her out.

Here you go. 74ish, 50 lb Kodiak Hunter. 9 1/2 weeks after quadruple bypass. Cedar arrow with a WW broadhead. Four years ago. Sweet!

My first traditional harvest with my Bear Super Grizzly I bought 33 years ago for about $45. It was NOS from an archery shop closeout.

Before she was moved or touched by human hand.
