The 66 Grizz is a great shooter and a good looker too...Mike

If I recall, the greyish green glas was called "Artic Grey"  it was used on the '63 and '64 Kodiaks.  It is a greenish grey color.  One of my faorite glass colors on Bear bows.

I think it was called by different names in different years...Maybe just because of a slight variation in color..

This '66 has an olive green on it.

Probably grey glass under yellowed finish = looks green. It's really common with a lot of the 60's Bear bows with grey glass. CKruse

Probably right.  It looks neat anyway, sort of blends in with the surroundings.
