Title: Bear TigerCat what year ?
Post by: Hoof on April 07, 2009, 06:41:00 PM

I was wanting some advice from the rest of the group on what year this TigerCat is? I know about the Bows from 65-69 were the first number dictated what year. It is just hard for me to tell if the first numerial is a "7" or a "9". what are some of your opinions by looking at the pic, I'll include one of the shelf also. Thanks for your input...Chris

I'd say "67" also but who cares what year it is, it's Zebrawood ! When you tire of the old bow let me know.
  I run a home for wayward, neglected or unwanted Zebrawood bows.

I guess I could have included a pic of the Fiberglass it is Choclate Brown... I'm guessing maybe that will match a 67 also?

1967 is a good bow with nice grip and brown glass. Nice weight on that one too.

IMO looks like a 7  I have a Kodiak where the first digit is hard to read like yours. Might have been the same person on the old assembly line just adding some personal touch.

The 1967 catalog lists the bows as assorted hardwoods while the 1969 catalog lists the tigercat as bubinga. Many of the 1967 tigercats I have seen are zebra with brown glass, and many of the 1968s are zebra with black glass.
