(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/ygrant87/ButtonsandBows011.jpg)This is a 1971 model Briser TD. I've used this bow for over twenty-five years.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/ygrant87/bowdoc08013-1.jpg)This is a 1970 Super Kodiak, 60", 68#@28. Its the bow I'm using this season.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/ygrant87/bowdoc08005.jpg) This is a 1969 Super Kodiak, 60" 65@28. Very good shooter but almost too pretty to drag around in the woods.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/ygrant87/Picture006.jpg) This is my primary bow. A 1969 StyleI B riser, no. 1 limbs, 66#@28, 60" lng. I use these bows hard and they have all been refinished by Bowdoc Ward and three have been modefied by him to suit my particular preferences. My son owns a couple of Grizzlies-a '65 and a '66. They are his favorites even above the Super K that I gave him. A good friend is also a die-hard Griz fan. Takes game every year. Grant

Kenny,
Your 62 is OUTSTANDING
I love the Bear Grizzly, good shooters as of late that is all Joe and I have been shooting.

I tend towards the older Bears. A 42# Cub, A 38# Cub, A 60# and a 54# of the same year Cub, a 1955 or so Polar that I replaced the leather on, and the newest Bear I've got is a 1968 Cub that I've not taken pictures of yet. RonP (http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL413/683873/18461216/319172077.jpg)

What days Xn!/* (sorry, drool on the keyboard!!) are the "museum" open, Bjorn? :notworthy:
>>--Ron--<>
The only grizzly I ever held felt really strange. I ended up getting the montana because of it.
It wasn't just the high wrist, other high wrist bows feel fine. But that one felt really odd in the hand.
But its known to be a quality bow. If the grip suits you than I think its fine.
Bjorn- nice rack of bows there. You fellas (and ladies, Killie) have some good looking specimens.My son ended up with all my bows that I didn't actually hunt with and he turned out to be a great curator. I still don't quite know what it is that draws me to these bows but they are magnets for me. Grant
Bjorn, :notworthy: nice collection. So far I have two, a newer Grizzly and a slightly older Kodiak Magnum.
These are my only two but I love them!

Still looking for that 61 Kodiak and as you can see I have an extra 62 for trading purposes :)
Trap
That's just what I have pics of Dave. I really need to get everything together and take some pics. Right now everything is spread out in socks under 2 beds... except for the bows the baby likes to play with.
Jeremy that 62' is sweet!
my only bear, from what i can tell, it is a 61 Kodiak Special 66" 42#
