Surprize that man on his next birthday.

Naw, that's a Chinese knockoff; $29.99 at Wally World. I'll take it off your hands for $50.00 as a bowfishing rig.

Nice find, enjoy!

I was about to offer to double your money if you don't like it. Now I am going to have to triple it

That's the same bow I killed my first deer with in 1969. Mine was 43#.

Very nice find!

Good deal. As for the old man he got about what he paid for it new.

Great find

The important thing is that it no longer sits in the box.

That bow was built by people who cared, and it was built to to shoot and hunt!

Congrats on your purchase...make the most of it!

Very happy for you. Everyone should experience that once. You have a piece of history, great to see it go to a guy who appreciates it, and shares this joy with us.

My guess is the gentleman that sold it to you wanted to see it IN GOOD HANDS, appreciated. Pricing etc... was not his first priority, some one enjoying the bow likely was.

That has been a deciding factor on alot of things I have parted with. It's a great theory to live by.

Oh man, that's just incredible!

Eugene Slagle · May 22, 2011, 08:24:00 PM

Holy Bejesus $20.00!!!

Man you need to see the local priest & confess your sins brother because you have just been handed the greatest deals I have ever heard of.

Jelous just isn't the right word, but, I am hoping the same
Magic moment may happen to me some day. In the mean time, as a wanna-be collector of Grizzlies, and hoping you are one of those guys that already has way too many,
Feel free to PM me with your price to sell.

WOW, what a find!!!

hova · May 22, 2011, 10:54:00 PM

i was going to put "/jealous" the other day , and im happy i didnt. cause i am still VERY jealous..

the wife already told me no garage sale-ing for bows. only arrows.

looks like i need to get rid of a couple of these so she doesnt notice the new ones till they are "those old things" ...

come to think of it , 1967 is one of "those old things" ....ill give you 20$ just for the bow...lol..

Blackstick · May 22, 2011, 11:22:00 PM
