Bear Greenie Grizzly

[StickSlinger74]

Just wanted to share my old Greenie Bow with you all.  I purchased this bow several years ago and it was in such good shape I didn't want to shoot it.  Then I had a buddy who wanted to get into trad bows so I knocked the dust off and put a string on it and loaned it to him.  I've since put a Lefties R Us string on it, have tuned it up and have been shooting it a bit recently and was blown away at how smooth, quiet and accurate this old bow is!  I may have to bench my Acadian for the rest of the season and take this classic to the woods with me to finish off our Louisiana Deer Season!  Here are a few pics!

I love the 73-75 Grizzlys.I have two,a wall hanger and a shooter.One was my dad's first bow and one was my first bow.The wall hanger is his (Limb broke on me).

Great bows that were made to hunt and are very good at it.  It does look like it may have black glass which I don't think was as common as the brown

[Blackhawk]

Brown is the most common, and think I have never seen black glass on those.  The last two pics appear to be brown, but ???

It seems like every day there's a new variation pop up.  So sorry for the "expert" writing a book about Bear bows and variations.

Nice looking bow. Big fan of 70s Bears myself.

Stickslinger,That is a nice bow. I think they shoot well too. Being marked 45X, would that make it a 46lb bow?

I have a 56" 53lb & KR27656 Grizzly that I got a Grouse with last Elk season. I'm not sure of the year, I think 1970?
I like them.

Very nice! I still have the 73# custom Grizzly that Fred Gave to Ben Lee. I actually sent it away in a trade, and it came back to me a few weeks later in another trade. I guess it was meant to be.

Wow 73lb, Congratulations on getting it back.

Don't let it go again?

I'm getting to be a fan of the Grizzlys.

I bought a '66 off the classifieds just before Christmas and I love it!
It's in excellent condition and I'm shooting very well (for me) with it. It has Grey Glass and will be hunting this Fall. I may buy another one as a backup, most of the old Grizzlies don't break the bank.

I have seen pictures of ones with black glass.  I hope to see one in person some day
