Title: Questions for you Bear Bow guys
Post by: katie on March 22, 2011, 11:10:00 AM
I have the opportunity to pick up a Bear Glass powered Grizzly for $100.  It is a lefty with 2 small holes drilled in the riser.  #'s are 9R1442.  It is a 56" 48#@28".
Just wondering if you guys could give me some more info on this bow.  Year?  Don't know much about Bear bows.  I do have a little man that is a lefty.  Sounded like a good bow to store back for him.
Thanks-
Katie

Katie, that Grizzly should be a 69 and the price you mentioned is more than fair.  If it's in good condition you could hardly go wrong with it.

Thanks guys.  Yep it is straight and looks good.  I started out with Pearson bows growing up, but no Bears.  I like that is has shorter limbs for my boy.  The Pearson I always had as a kid had long limbs and I did not get great power with them.
String sugestions?

B50  or B55 for sure. Stringmakers lots of good one. Three Tree,  Bearbowman, Oliver Stacy all good.
