Title: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on March 31, 2012, 03:13:00 PM: I just Love the Old Grizzly line up.

Here is my newest. It is close to the bow I started hunting with when I was 12. This is a 68, the one I started with is a 69. My little brother broke the 69 which caused me to be lead astray with the wheels for roughly 12-15 years. I was pleased when I found this bow for only 50 bucks at auction. The wood is awesome. There are a few holes that I will overlook for the time but will eventually fill.

There are blonde spots in this riser that just are incredible. Oh and it shoots great also! I wish the pictures did this bow justice.

Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on March 31, 2012, 03:19:00 PM: I recently had a 67 Grizzly that I loved also, but traded it since this newer bow is closer to the bow I started out 25 years ago with. My dad still has that old broken 69 and I managed to get him a 69 that was fixed but personally, I prefer the colored or brown glass.

Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on March 31, 2012, 06:21:00 PM: Thanks Tony! Not as nice as your rosewood riser on the 62. WOWZA!

Ron, I am contemplating it! I seem to shoot these 60's grizzly's very well. It is because of that statement I may bring the griffin. Then if I miss, I will need a new excuse. :readit:

Kenny, thanks for the kinds words. You can thank the 68 griz for the 67 :readit: I hope you like it! :wavey:
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: cacciatore on April 01, 2012, 04:10:00 AM: Very nice Grizzly!I have a 68 myself and they are good shooters plus they remind me a little of the K59!
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: 59Alaskan on April 01, 2012, 08:25:00 AM: Nice bows! Grizzlys are wonderful bows.

A few 1959s and a 1960. I don't own the 1960 any longer.

Also a little zebrawood. Threw in my leftys for you Cacciatore.

I am shooting a LH 1976 Super Grizzly for turkey season that I really enjoy.

When I was RH one of my favorites was the 1967 pictured at bottom.

Post by: hayslope on April 01, 2012, 11:25:00 AM: Colin - your 59/60 Griz bows look great. And you have a wild swing of grain figure in those zebrawood Griz! I don't think I've ever seen another like the one on the right. Are the left and right bows in that photo 64s?
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: smokin joe on April 01, 2012, 12:18:00 PM: Hey Charlie:
That is pretty cool. I have an early 70s Grizzly that I hunted with for a long time. It is in great shape with flawless limbs that I always kept covered with camo limb socks. Classic Bears like the Grizzly are great bows, though I have gone completely to Bear TDs and don't shoot my Grizzly any more. There are a lot of good memories in my "old Griz."
It's good to know you are doing well and having fun with a classic Grizzly.
Joe
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on April 01, 2012, 12:35:00 PM: Thanks Guys.

I was hoping this thread would take off with more pictures. I love the grizzly bows for some reason.

Joe, Glad you are well also. I had a 71 Grizzly that was in very good shape. I sent it to my wife's uncle to shoot so he can shoot with his son whom, fellow trad gangers firmly planted the bow bug into. He turns 13 this month.

I will see if I can dig up pictures of the 69. 55 and 58 that I own or have owned.

dont have any current nicer pics of the 58. I should sell the thing but cant ever bring myself to do so.

Its a nice bow!
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: 59Alaskan on April 01, 2012, 12:48:00 PM: The two lefties are actually 1965's. You're not the first to have picked out the one I the right as a very interesting piece of wood. It's 43# and shoots wonderfully. I picked up both lefties from the same guy.

Another of my favorites is 1962, but I only have that in RH right now.

Nice bows on here for sure. One day I'd like to shoot an old static tip Grizz or pick up a 1958.

Hopefully Jack will post soon and show off some of his.
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on April 01, 2012, 12:49:00 PM: And thanks to a Fellow Trad Gang member named Jack Shanks, he found this one, did some handy work and I was able to not only shoot some carp with but replaced my fathers broken 69 Grizz.

FWI, my wife shot more carp with it than I did :readit: :help:

Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: 59Alaskan on April 01, 2012, 01:16:00 PM: Here is arguably the most collectible bow I own. The pictures don't do it justice. I believe it to be all original outside of the feather rest. I replaced that. Now that I am shooting LH this just languishes in the basement for now. It's a 1959. Yes, the tips are original. It's been in a case since 1959 and well cared for it seems

Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: hayslope on April 01, 2012, 01:37:00 PM: Wow!!!

Usually when I find an old Bear in that kind of condition, someone has "experimented" with it and it has the holes to prove it!

That one is sweet!
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: 59Alaskan on April 01, 2012, 01:44:00 PM: No holes that is for sure. It shoots wonderfully. Only question mark is weather a coat of true oil was put on it at one time or not.

Looks like they can be pretty darn good looking and the shooting quality is gonna be a given in that era.

I have been thinning out some of the duplicates so I've been told there is hope.

Doug,

I think you meant to say 60 Grizzly. I did get a nice 64 left hand Kodiak this week though.

Kenny,

Sorry that is the only 67 I have left. Are you sure you weren't born in 66? I have a couple of those.

If ever you decide not to be a hoarder, I will back up a truck and help you part with all you=r bows. I will do it just like the show and take them to the dump ;) ;)

I have decided to take my grizzly to the next 3d shoot!
Title: Re: For the Love of Old Grizzly's
Post by: 59Alaskan on April 19, 2012, 12:12:00 PM: Here's my new 72!

Short story on this one. My cousin started me in bowhunting with wheels. We get together and hunt at least once a year. I switched to trad. I gave him a 71 Grizzly to get him going in trad. I then switched to LH.

I was born in 1972 and he just gave me this beautiful 1972 LH Grizzly!

So, we're planning to hunt this fall with our '71 and '72 Grizzlys!

The riser on this one is phenomenal for a 1972. I will try to get a picture in better light to show it off. It does have a more reddish hue to it than many of the 1971/1972's I have seen or the ones I have owned.

Post by: Tyler C. Moore on August 22, 2015, 10:13:00 PM: Yup I do also. I should have left it like that. But I stripped the whole bow and the glass was BADLY stress cracked and I haven't decided what to do with it yet.
