Title: SUPER GRIZZLY
Post by: Bucks100 on December 12, 2010, 09:37:00 PM: A friend of mine told me the other day that the Super Grizzlies, red stripe, and red tips were a limited production bow. Anyone have any Info on this? Mine has Ser#KD10068, 58", 50#, LH. I thought this was a high number for a limited Prod. bow?

Thanks

Midnight black with red stripe
Forest Green with red stripe
Big Sky Blue with red stripe

The most rare (by far) is the blue one because it had bright white limbs and didn't go over as well as the black or green bows that had darker limbs.
None of them were limited production, but the blue is the hardest to find.
What color futurewood is your riser?

I would like to shoot one of these. I hear they are nice. I do wonder how they compare to the green/black ones from 1973 or so in terms of shooting?
