Since developing a growing passion for original 50's bows, i was curious how many of you folks hunt with or shoot'em?  

We still shoot my Dad's 1958 Alaskan, he started with it in 58, my uncle around 60, me in 79, and my brother around 82. I still hunt and shoot my Granddad's 62 Kodiak.

A couple years ago I hunted with my '59 Grizzly

Here's my '52 Bear Grizzly in action.

I finished this season out with a bear cub. Didn't see anything though. Now onto bunnies. Will try the picture thing when I connect.

Bert that is one cool picture that buck is a hog!!

Late '50s Grizzly, Kodiak and Alaskan.  They all shoot great, unfortunately, I haven't had a good shot yet this season to prove it.

Yep Bert!
You have posted that one before and I enjoy it everytime!! A Classic for sure........

Bert, that is one dandy Buck! and to have taken it with a '52 Grizzly is just awesome!
First Class all the way!  

57 Bear Polar in action. Its my bowfishing rig I use all the time right now...
   

Nope, but a bear from the 50's is on the wish list!

Woah Bert that is awesome :-)

Dang Bert, you guys grow some Bruisers up there!

I use my 56 Kodiak sometimes, I like it because it is the same age as me.

Bert that pic gets me......awesome...as you know  Bert, I have a 58 Kodiak that I have yet to hunt with....but would love to post a success story like that....love them old bear bows.... And Bert  is a bowyer and makes 50 style recurves as well that are awesome..... like alot of people say...them old BEARS have a soul....

My 59 "Broken Heart" gets out in the woods quite a bit

The name "Broken Heart" comes from a badly damaged purpleheart sight window which Bowdoc repaired in the Restoration 101 thread here on TG

I love them 59r's! One of these days.... I gonna have me one!
Gotta love the old Bears!

I have an old 50s Hoyt that hits like a hammer. Sweet 66" recurve.

Sporthunter, love to see a pic of your 50's Hoyt, sounds like an awesome old classic!
