John, each to his own tastes but I’d go with a Grayling era for all Bear purchases. I have a 52″ Kodiak Magnum (1968) and it has zero hand shock. I doubt the shorter 48″ has much either, since it’s such a radical recurve. Great turkey bows if you get a light enough weight that you can hold at full draw for a while.

I have two Super Magnum 48’s. A 50# and a 60#. They are both Grayling bows from 69-72 vintage. I deer and turkey hunt with them here in Ohio. I love these bows and they are all I use. I like the Grayling Bows because I think they look better than the current black laminate, and I just enjoy shooting an older bow. All the problems that I read about with short bows like finger pinch, hand shock, cant draw to 29″ and stacking I have just not experienced. My idea of hand shock anyway is shootin a Smith and Wesson 329PD 44mag. On the plus side they are the nicest bows to hunt with either from the ground or a tree. Get one, hunt with it, you will not regret it.
