Can any of you Bear Gurus tell me what year this Grizzly was made? Thanks in advance.

Frank, It's probably a 1973-77. Does it have brown glass and future wood and green tip overlay? Lance.

1972

Totally "personal" experience here.

Don't date a bear. I tried feeding her one time and she almost bit my arm arm off.

In all seriousness though, late 72 to the closing of the Grayling factory which I thought was in 78

OGlass pOwered, yOU beat me tO it>

73-75. In 76 the Bear weatherrest become standard equipment. In late 77, the serial number started with GR instead of KR. In 78 they were making them in Gainesville. bvd

It is a Grayling bow. I'm not sure what furniture wood is. It has green glass front and back . The overlays are brown.

If your referring to my pm rebel,,,furniturewood would be do to auto correct, never said it was Gainesville, and I'm going off what the catalogs show,,,,which I have in front off me now. Nice bow!!

The green glass places it between 76 and 78. Could be one of the last Grayling production runs! Who knows?

Nice bow, I lovery the green and black ones.

Humor time:

I once dated a Bear . . . (shudder)

When we tried to shared a romantic steak dinner, things turned out rather Grizzly.

The riser wood is known by the trade mark name of Futurewood. It was first used on the Grizzly in 73. Futurewoood had been used on top Bear models since 1970. Your bow doesn't have a Weather Rest that was standard equipment in 76. That puts it in the 73-75 years. bvd

...and the weather rest could have been removed and replaced! And so the discussion continues. Lance.
