This is the replacement Bear Grizzly I found on eBay for $89.00 that I will be using this year in my Traditional Bow Hunting setup. Thanks for Watching
The guys at my local pro shop tell me that even new bows from quality companies come apart sometimes. On the other hand I have a few from the early '70s (50 years old!) that still look brand new and shoot great.
I think this might be the third time I watched this video, and realized I didn't comment. Great approach to how you make your videos and really enjoying them. Keep them coming.
I was at one time in the mid 70's going to purchase a Bear Grizzly but did not care for the 2 tone colors that were available at that time. Couple of years later coworker gave me his 64 Bear Kodiak and just before I retired a friend gave me his 56" AMO Bear Grizzly with the maple laminate in the middle of the riser. I enjoy my Grayling Bear Bows and I would like to aquire a newer Bear bow but not sure which model yet. Thank you for sharing and good luck on your hunting trips.
The Bark brown models tend to sell for less as everyone seems to want a green model as they are more iconic and better looking as the main reason. The reason is the bark brown however people wanted at the time they came out for hunting in most parts of the USA so most of the Bark brown models are a bit more used then the Bear Green riser model as another reason the brown models sell for less. This is not to say that if they were well cared for a more used Brown model is just as good as a green model as both are high quality bows. Only exceptions are if the bow is a lefthand model as Bear did not make as many left handed/left eye dominate models. One My brother has is either a 1970 or 1972 model in the green with black/dark brown-basically black fiberglass that is 45 pounds at his 26 inch draw for a 47 pound bow. I am leaning more towards the 1972 model as the 1970 used real Bubinga not the Greenwood the 1972 used that looks more like a green dyed wood as this bow does, on most of the bows the Bubinga looks less green then this Greenwood does. The bow has a micro twist to the limbs due to the Fathers son who got the bow being a buy the top of the line Mathews every other year compound guy with a old Mathews branded Genesis from the mid 1990's about 1995/1996 for his crappy Fishing bow last model one could use fingers. The Son who is compound guy only, tested the Bear Grizzly backwards and did the same with a Shakespeare/Root Targetmaster 35 pound bow that is Fine due to the wide limbs but seems to stop not be able to go past 29 inches so my dad never really used the bow much.
