I wish Bear would bring back the 62” Tiger Cat with a zebra riser. What Bear would you like to see brought back?

I agree with Kevin. A new version Minute man riser with modern made long bow or recurve limbs would be awesome.

Had a 62"- 45# Tigercat back in the early 70s, the zebra wood was outstanding along with the shooting, ended up giving to a friend when I got a Ben Pearson Pony 50#+. Looking back the earlier bows seem to be better than the so-call customs.

They made the Tigercat in 58" in 1970 and 71, and they were awesome bows too. Didn't much care for the 76 model they were calling the poor man's Kodiak. It was also made for K-Mart and dubbed the Panther in that 56" model. The 62" ones were great bows. Never got real swooney over zebrawood either, but did like the ones with bubinga risers.

The Tigercat showed up in 1964 as a 62" bow, most likely because in that year...a redesign time, the Grizzly went from a 62" bow to a 58" bow and the Tigercat basically took that spot for a 62" recurve.

Bring back the phenolic super kodiak, but this time a) DON'T DRILL THE HORRIBLE QUIVER MOUNT HOLES IN THE RISER, and b) CHANGE THE GRIP SHAPE TO THE GRAYLING ERA AND NOT THE CURRENT HORRIBLE UNSHOOTABLE RISER SHAPE.
Introduce a retro take-down riser (you know, without the compass???)
Forget the 1959 Kodiak - throw that form into the landfill and do a 1960 Kodiak re-issue instead with the palm-swell grip.

BOWNUT, the 69's are 62" bows, so if you have one marked 60", it's a freak. In 70 they made them 58".
They stopped making them for the same reason most other companies got out of the recurve business. The compound bow. Bear made their last version before moving to Gainesville and we know the history from then on.

1964 to 1969 was 62"amo.
1970 was 58"amo.

BOWNUT I don't know why your Tigercat says 60"amo. Tigercats came in 62", 58", and 56". Maybe it was marked wrong.

Bownut, likely mismarked, but you would measure and check it. Beautiful bow by the way and Ebay sellers have already been peeking into the Leatherwall since the Tigercat entries have gone up in asking price.

I think the grip on mine would fit my wife better. Its a bit small for me. I had a Zebra Griz that I gave to a struggling young vet with a shoulder injury that was light for me at 40# but had a larger grip that fit my hand perfectly. I wish the Tigercat had the same grip as that Grizzly.
