Tom – Great looking bow there, and I second what David said.

A nice Zebrawood bow. I am looking at it wondering why 1965 was such a popular year for Zebrawood? The Bear Grizzly model from 1965 was in Zebrawood. Any other bow manufacturers making their bow models in Zebrawood in ’65? After that time period, it seemed to go to being an accent wood. Did the supply of Zebrawood dry up? ❓

The Indian strikeplate is preserved. That is key!

By golly WIcanner =-= you not only know your bow woods, but old bows too. Either you’re a archery historian or “no spring chicken” like me. Indian, like Wing and Bear and others, make me nostalgic because I couldn’t afford none of those when they were the best available (or at least the best the average teenager from the Great Plains was aware of). Sigh …

Whoa, no bow expert here. But I do own 2 Grizzlies from 1965. A father/son set, one in 54#/ and the other 41#. But alas, my son never picked up bowhunting or shooting, but I am hoping a grandson will someday. I also have 3 daughters, so somewhere, I’ll get a hunter out of the group. I just like some of the old bow woods, which seem to be used so sparingly on todays production type wood bows. They seem to be made, for the most part, of stained maple.
