Hello there.
Just sharing this. I've bought a zebrawood Grizzly 1969 last month on ****. After 6 years looking a zebra bear bow and someone who would send it to me (I'm in Brazil) finally got it.
Now the mail service here is taking too long to deliver it to me. I should have arrived this week. If if not arrives at monday or tuesday I believe it got lost.
I couldn't more sad than now. I really really wanted it. I'll pray to receive it but who knows?
I'm very sorry to hear of you bad luck. hopefully its just going through customs and will be there soon. Luck my friend!!!
I've seen stuff I sent take an awful long time in mailing and customs. Hang in there and stay hopeful!
How do you say 'bummer' in Portuguese?
Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days. Keep us posted.
Thanks for the words guys. I'll keep you all informed. Unfortunatelly it's not customs, it already passed that point. It's the final transportation to here.
Let's see what it will happen in the next few days....can't wait for that, it's killing me!
I always received everything that I imported. It's not fair if I not receiv my bear zebra grizzly :(
Don't give up yet, sometimes things get backed-up along the way. I hope you had some tracking numbers. Good luck, hope it shows-up soon!
Danny I do have the tracking number and have already complained with the post office here. Let's see what happens then. Thank you.
Don't give up. It will get there sooner or later. Bill
Anticipation may be one of the greatest pleasures of the hunt.
Be patient and keep the faith that you will be rewarded in short order.
i wish you the best of luck.hang in there brother,steve :pray:
it will show up dont worry.
Hang in there it will show up,I've had things take a real long time getting tome.If it doesn't I'll send you a bow,Promise!
It will make it all the sweeter when you DO get it!!!
If it is zebrawood,it should be 1964 or 1965.You will like that bow.
Thanks guys. I hope tomorrow (monday) I can come back here with good news!
Hello guys! Fortunatelly my bow arrived today!! I'm so happy!!! Finally after years I got a zebrawood! I could easily get another models but the zebrawood was too hard to find someone that could send it to Brazil and it was always a war on e bay to get one of this.
It's a Bear Grizzly 45# 58" Zebrawood. I believe it's a 1969 the SN is 9CA77
I believe that all your support and preys worked!! thank you all!

Great looking bow!
Thank you! I think we could change the thread title to "I'm very happy right now!" hehe
I'm so glad you got the bow! She sure is a beauty, gotta love that Zebrawood. She's in great shape, you did very well. Enjoy her and shoot straight! Congrats! :thumbsup:
Congrats, Legois! That is a '64 or 65 Grizzly, but don't be disappointed. It is a better bow than the '69. That style is the best Grizzly Bear made, IMO. Mine is a '67.
good luck and dont get to down it will show up
It is a 1964 Grizzly.The first number only indicated the actual year from 1965-1969.Zebra wood was only used in 1964 and 1965.It is a great bow and a really nice piece of wood.
Good luck with the Grizzly.
Thanks Danny!
Fletcher thank you for the information. Disappointed? No no, I'm even happier now! The older, the best to me!
JimB thanks, I didn't know that the zebra was only used in 64-65.
Cottonwood thank you!
Looks like Christmas came early?
Great looking bow, I'm envious. I also shoot a Bear Grizzly and I love mine. It's smooth, quiet, forgiving, and accurate.
When you get your first kill down on the ground with the new bow, be sure and post some pics of it.
Nice looking bow.
Very nice bow, glad you finally recieved it.
Amen!! It's good to see that your prayers were answered.
That's an awesome looking bow!
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.
Have a good and Godly day!
With the love of Christ
God bless,Mudd
Glad you got it. I know you can hunt with firearms in Brazil, are you allowed to bow hunt? If you are and you do, you should post some pictures of your adventures. Bill
My question is the same as Bill's....do you bowhunt down there? What do you hunt? Pics would be interesting.
Thank you all for your support!
Actually we are forbidden to hunt with anything (firearms, bowhunting etc). It's totally forbidden to hunt in Brazil. You can't hunt puma, ema, onça, aligators, capivaras, anta etc.
It was legalized to hunt wild hog (not javelinas!) that is not natural from here. It has scaped from some farms then it became a natural disaster.
But in august it was forbidden too. See here it's easier to forbidden everything than regularization. WE SIMPLY CAN'T HUNT ANYTHING (no matter if it is with firearms or bows).
The only thing we can do here is Fishing. But it is forbidden also for some months.
We live on a false democracy as you can see. At least the wild hog was legalized before but now we can't hunt even it.
If I want to bowhunt....I'll have to travel to Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina....that's my reallity here :/ hehhe
PS: sorry for my bad english
Glad to see you got your bow, what a great looking bow!
And no need to apologize for your English. I can understand you just fine.
Thank you wbyrd!
I know the importance of family and all, but if hunting were banned in this country, I'd be gone before you could say ...aye! I'm a pretty patriotic person most of the time but not because of geography -- I'm patriotic because of our country's value-based foundation. If that is eroded...the door won't hit my butt.
Every now and then we in the U.S. need a reminder of how idiotic, unscientific, and self-centered those running other countries are. Oh, and I'm sure there are plenty who wuld run this one just the same if we ever stop paying attention!
Sorry, your situation just makes me mad. I'm a retired biologist and I know the best way to protect your wildlife resources and the habitat it depends upon is to build an economy around wildlife-related recreation nwith hunting being the most lucrative. The only thing protecting Africa's big game is the foreign hunter willing to pay for travel, lodging, souvenirs, trophy fees, etc.
Glad it arrived. I was worried for you.
Hope you like shooting it after all that work and worry. If you dont like shooting it, at least it is nice to look at.
Bowwild I completelly agree with you. Here we (that would like to hunt) always says that the economy around wildlife-related recreation with hunting would save much more than forbidding.
But we only have politicians worried to stell as much money that they are able to. Our president is a world wide joke. Did you know that he is analfabetic?
I always desired to live in USA I just love your life stile, all the tradition. If I really want to it was possible. I'm a physician and I could work there. But my all family is here. I'm still doing cardiollogy, will take a few years yet. It's easier to me to travel to another country and hunt than leave here. It's a bit complicated haha

I have already shoted and I loved it. It's a great shoter!
