1967 Bear Tigercat

George D. Stout · March 31, 2008, 01:48:00 PM

I recently got this bow on auction and wanted to show it off a bit. This bow is flat-out gorgeous. A 1967 Bear Tigercat, Zebrawood with brown glass. There isn't a flaw on this bow and it looks like it was refinished.

It's 62", 50#, RH, with white fiberglass tip overlays. I shot a few arrows from it immediately and it shoots as good as it looks. These old Bears are something.

George, how did you turn that righty into a lefty in the last pic? I remember seeing that bow on the auction site that can not be named. "[dntthnk]"

I fixed it Brent 8^)...it was a photobucket anomaly. It looks fat in that last photo but it's not. Some pretty zebrawood. I'm taking her to the woods in about ten minutes 8^).

I still have your address Brent and will be sending you something in the next few weeks. Don't worry, it won't hurt ya'.

great bow, George! I'm thinking about getting a patch made: "Vintage Archery - Old Men... Old Bows" :^)

George D. Stout · March 31, 2008, 09:01:00 PM

That would fit me for sure Dick.

Hi George-I've got the little brother to that one. It's just like it only 43# and it shoots like a dream also. Hap

I got one just like this one only mine is 52#.
They shoot nice. Love them old Bear bows.

That is one sexy bow. A stunning piece of Zebra wood.

I once had one with the zebrawood handle, only 35#. Wish I would have kept it.

Dandy looking bow George. My son got one from his grandpa (given to him by his dad)who lived near Grayling at the time. It's a 1970 Tigercat with the rosewood handle. Limbs have yellowed, but it's a nice shooter. Those old Bear recurves are just plain fun and nostalgic.
