My cousin, who is getting on in years and of poor health has given me his Bear (Super) Grizzly...

I'll need help with Actual String Length and any other info available... Bow Marked as:

KD4939
AMO 58"
50 #

Thank You So Much In Advance!

54" actual string length .
Brace height of 8" would be a good place to start . And adjust up or down from there .
Depending on how old it is , you might want B-50 or B-55 string .

X2....Graps nailed it.

Thanks Again!  

Hey Mike, That is a great bow!  Enjoy it.  I find they like about an 8-8 1/4 inch brace..

Thanks Charlie!

Anybody know the year it was made?

Should be 73 to 76.......

Thank You Ron...    ...

My choice would be a Flemish, 14 strand Dacron B-55 string 54-54.5". Probably end up real close to an 8.25" brace height.

Mcground On my above post I meant to say 53.5-54". 54.5" would be too long.

Thanks for the follow-up...  

Your going to like that bow........Grizzly's are a favorite of mine. I have a hand me down from a great Uncle of my mother. Just a good old bow that is fun to shoot and even more fun to hunt with. You'll like it to still hunt your best spots.

Not A Bad Idea Ron!

Yes, they are great shooting bows. I have three in lefty. My first trad deer was with one I bought new-old-stock back in '81.

Looks like the "Widow" is going to be collecting dust, Brother Waysiah.....

Maybe Chuck...    ...

Great bows, and each one seems to have its own personality. I had one that wouldn't settle down until I hit 9" of brace height on it -- and once I got it there is was a sweet shooter for sure.

Follow-Up:

Got a string from fellow Trad Gang member "kat" yesterday and shot her in the driveway... All I can say is WOW! This puppy LOVES woodies...    ...

Thanks again to everyone for your input... Gonna have a lot of fun with this (old) girl...  :D  ...

They are great bows.......good grip and feels like it just belongs in your hand taking a walk in the woods. A couple of wool puffs and it will just be a whisper. Have fun.......
