help please with 2 old Bears.

i picked up a few older Bear bows from an older gentleman at a garage sale. he said he bought this first bow when he was twenty, he is now 70. bow is in pretty good shape but the finish is not so great and tips need to be re-guled i think.

[adkmountainken]

this i know is a Grizzly but what year? LOVE the Zebra wood! sight holes need to be filled in.

[adkmountainken]

also picked up a Bear Ranger in EXCELLENT shape with decals and crystal clean. 3 back quivers and arrows as well.

First one is a 59 Kodiak the second is a 65 Grizzly. Great finds both of them but especially the Kodiak!

[Horney Toad]

Looks like you have a 1959 kodiak and a 1965 grizzly. Good going!

[adkmountainken]

AWESOME i was really hoping it was a 59!!!!! i kniw i want it restored as well as the Grizzly. hate to say i only paid $100 for bows and quivers, think i did ok. if i can sell the Ranger and Lynx to get my $100 i would be extremly happy!

You shouldn't have any trouble getting your money back. Bring them to Denton on the blanket swap.

59 Kodiak and 65 Griz.  Interesting sight window on the 59 K.  Not really sure what it is.

Regardless Ken......you did REALLY well!

See you Saturday.

Wow!  What a deal you got Ken!  I thought that I made out like a bandit last weekend, but you put me to shame!  Can't wait to see them.
