Grayling Bear Pawn Shop Find
« on: December 10, 2010, 02:06:27 PM »
Found a really nice late 1960s era Grayling, MI Bear Grizzly 58" #50@28" recurve with a nice Fred Bear quiver (green spring loaded type) on it today in a Pawn Shop for $50.00.  Other than a few minor scuffs on the limbs it looks new.

Here's some pics.  The brace height seems high to me.

Very nice Swamp!
What is that on the belly of the upper limb, just above the fadeout?

GOOD SHOOTING!

That's the part that hold the upper part of the quiver to the bow.
