Title: 61 Grizzly Factory Camo
Post by: MJB on August 26, 2008, 03:31:00 PM
What can you tell me about this bow. After handling one at Denton this year. I was impressed with the grip area, SWEET !! I could of taken her home. But she had been a little molested in the past.

After seeing Rich's custom 61 camo leaves I'm hooked LOL.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

'61 Grizzly is a good bow with a pretty good sized fan club.  They are good shooters, and do carry a bit of collectible value.  The camo models were original not as desired, but 46 years later they seem to be preferred to the regular Grizzlys.

I have a 50# that I really like.  Not a speed demon by any means but shoots like the other 62 inch Grizzlies.  Smooth, quiet, and stable.

I think the 62" Grizzlies offer about the most bang for your buck in Vintage bows.  Because they say Grizzly and not Kodiak many collectors look past them.  

I turkey hunted with mine this past spring and the Camo just felt "right".  Nice bows.

It;s one thing to run across one, like you did at Denton Hill.  It's a whole 'nother program to be on a quest for one.

Good luck.   :thumbsup:
