Title: herd of zebras
Post by: D.Sheppard on July 23, 2009, 07:57:00 PM

With the help of a few collector friends the Sheppard Home for wayward zebrawood bows has a few new residents including a "61" Kodiak Special.

Very nice herd you have assembled there. The more I see the Bear zebrawood the more I like it!

Kodiak Special
Grizzly
Tigercat
Bearcat
Cub
Little Bear


I know there is a Polar in zebrawood. Looking for one of them.

Did the Alaskan come in zebrawood ?

Any other Bear models you guys know of that came with a zebrawood riser ?
                              Thanx, Shep

I think also the Alaskan is been made of Zebre.Zebra is a very elegant wood and in my opinion a little overlooked wood for custom bows

I was at a local garage sale yesterday and spotted a bow on a table. It turned out to be a 1965 Bear Cub in really nice Zebra wood.

It seems the zebra wood we see these days is not nearly as well grained and colorful as the wood from the 50's and 60's.

Did you adopt the poor wayward soul, bring her into your home and try to better her life ?

Blackhawk, I agree with you. The Bear zebrawood is awesome looking. Never get tired of it. Did you buy the Cub???? Don't leave us hanging on that.

I just picked up a very clean 1965 Zebra Grizzly 45# for my wife. She really likes the looks and how it shoots.
