Title: Factory Camo Bear Bows
Post by: buckeyebowhunter on March 22, 2013, 12:16:00 PM
I know they aren't quite as pretty as some but does anyone besides me think the factory camo bears are just cool looking?   :D  Would love to see some pics of some if anyone has em!   :thumbsup:

Don't know how to do pictures but I picked up a really nice Factory camo Kodiak Mag, 35# @ 28" for $10.00 at a yard sale. It included the screw on the side of the handle quiver.

My wife really likes it and hunts with it.

I love camo bows. Don't have any with factory camo but I think they are cool as well.

I had a camo '69 SK but upon carefully inspection someone had taped over the serials and decals and resprayed it. In the photos it looked original and I paid little for it. I decided to strip it and redo it and wound up selling for $400 so I made out OK.

Here are some I no longer own.

A '66 Kodiak Magnum and two '67 Kodiak Hunters  shown with another non factory '67.

I guess when I resized the image the photo came out fuzzy.

I have a 61 factory camo Grizzly. My birth year. Although I do not shoot it all that much it is one of my favorites.

glenbo,

Thanks for reminding about the '61s. Here are the two camo patterns from that year.

I just got through with removing all of the camo, thinking that someone felt like spraying a nice bear Grizzly green with black and brown spots.  There is no way to tell for sure it was a factory paint job but the bow really looks great without it.
