Title: Zebrawood Bear Grizzly
Post by: TimberlineX on September 13, 2009, 01:17:00 AM

Now this is a beautiful Zebrawood 1965 Bear Grizzly.

Item number:  280395019732.

Well done listing as well, with great photos. Check it out.

I just wish it were 10 to 20 pounds heavier...

I just did a trade a couple months back to get one of these for my wife. She really likes this bow! Light to carry, quiet, shoots great, and nice to look at.

She's a beauty...like that Zebrawood.

A few more lbs. wouldn't hurt her.

Very nice. I've got one of those myself.

In fact, I think mine's even PRETTIER, but she's only a "petite" 46#!

(Hey, some guys like their ladies heftier than others....not that there's anything wrong with that!)    

LOL,

Did you get that one from me, Ron? Looks like my old 65, and my deck! CKruse

Yeah, Cam....that's the one. Your pics are as good or better than any I could take!     :thumbsup:  

Nowadays she's wearing great color-coordinated strings, a set of Hush Puppies, and zipping 'em into the kill zone like Nolan Ryan!     :notworthy:

My "collection" consists of only 2 bows.. so far.  A 2008 Grizzly that I bought new and a 1964 Zebrawood Grizzly that I came across.  I've tried to make the new Grizz my go-to bow for upcoming deer season so the old one could hang on the wall and be shot around the yard at targets, but I swear the 64 shoots better.

I just picked up a factory camo Grizzly that is a '66 according to the serial number.  Mine is pretty scratched and dinged up and needs refinished.  What do you think the chances are that there are stripes under my paint?


Here are a couple of poor quality quick pics:

Hey Brian
According to the catalog, they used African bubinga in the '66 riser.

Thanks for the info, Brad.  I'd still like to know what I can use to remove the paint, though.
