I don’t know about current manufactured ones,but I have a couple of Grayling ones and am happy with those.There are several on ebay right now and they are always showing up plus you’ll save a lot of money over the brand new ones and I think they are a lot better looking.

I like mine really well. It’s pretty old, a Grayling, with a flush mounted gold medallion which I think means something to do with age of the bow. With me I think “graying” has something to do with age:P
Good luck, good shooting and good day!

Once known as the working mans bow because of the retail price. I have one at 50# that I bought for 50.00 in the mid 1980’s. People were going to the compound and selling these bows right and left. I don’t know if that was a deal or not but it is still a great shooting bow. I’d do what Gab suggested and look on E-bay. I see these bows on there all the time.

I started out shooting, and still shoot, a 55# Grizzly, and, aside from being a one piece [a) because I can’t break it down, and b) because of hand-shock], it’s a great bow. And, in some respects, a one piece has advantages over a take-down. The energy the bow produces is stored throughout the entire bow, not just the limbs, so it gives a little more “oomph”, in my opinion. Maybe not a ton, but a little bit. Just my thoughts. But yes, also look on E-bay. Good luck and good shooting.

I would steer clear of the newer ones. Poorly made and ugly. For the money they are charging, you can pick up a clean vintage, beautiful and better made one off any auction or traditional forum based website for half that money. Just my two cents and opinion only… 😉

Droptine makes a very valid point. I didn’t buy my bow, it was given to me to use until I can buy a bow for myself, and at that point, I will return it to my uncle. You can find almost any bow you want on E-Bay, if you take the time to watch the auctions. I’ve watched bow after bow after bow that was just flat gorgeous, and bid on several, only to be outbid in the final minute or two of the auction, or the bid went too high for me, at which time I backed out. You can get a good bow for fairly inexpensive off the auctions. Good luck.

I’ve got a Grizzly that I shoot and like it very much. A friend asked me to see if I could fix a slight twist on one limb. I straightened it, made a new string, and test fired it. When I handed it back to him he said ‘no, it’s yours now’. I was speechless and could barely say thanks.:shock:
