Title: Different 1959 Grizzly
Post by: Bjorn on February 26, 2008, 07:53:00 PM

This one has a Bubinga sight window and a butcherblock riser. Didn't take a pic of the tips; but it is a '59.

I put a new wrap on it and the coin is a 3Rivers job-maybe exxy-don't remember.

It is 52# and shoots as good as it looks.

Very Cool Bjorn, thanks for sharing.  Fred must have had some creative people working for him.

P.S. I can't wait.

The 1960 Kodiak I sold 10 years ago..Was rosewood butcher ibeam.But the coin side slab and lower slab on the grip of the bow were birds-eye rosewood.The small piece above the sight window was not however.I've tried 20 times to buy that bow back.And it ai'nt gonna happen.He does not even shoot the bow...he ai'nt no bow collecter.It just hangs in his office.sad..bowdoc
