- Today we are shooting the Bear Grizzly through the Chronograph
Below is some links to some hunts with this bow
• Traditional Bowhunting...
• November hunt for roed...
• December hunt for phea... - Sport
I inherited one from my father when he passed away and consider it on of my most prized possessions. Every time I’m in the woods with it I think of my Pappa.
Awesome!
Good video I do like the older bows and have a few along with the newer ones like the grizzly and the super grizzly , new subscriber thanks for sharing and take care
Welcome to the channel. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching
So that would be hitting with approximately 40-41 joules. Great to see old Bear bows living on. 😊
Yeah its just around 40, Thanks for watching
Old bows still get it done and always have good vid. Darren
Ive got that same bow, love it
Its a good one
love bowhunting been doing it for about 20 years would love to visit Denmark, you make it look easy not so
I own several old Bear recurves. One is a 60 inch child's target bow at 35 pound pull. It doesn't have a model name on it. We don't have a minimum draw weight for deer hunting and I was able to kill one of my largest bucks with it. You can shoot it for many shots and not get tired. I also have two Bear Kodiak Magnums 52 inch, a 40 pound and 53 pound pull bow. The 53 pound bow was made the year I was born, 1963. It has the recessed medallion. I bought it from it's original owner so that is how I know the year it was originally purchased. I also have a Bear Super Kodiak at 45 pound pull. Lastly I have a Super magnum at 40 pound pull and 48 inches long. Sadly, it developed a limb warp and has been retired as a wall hanger. Not sure how to get the limb twist out. Fred was a huge inspiration for me as a kid watching his old hunting videos. Amazingly, he retired from Bear archery in 1966 when I was only 3 years old. By the time I was watching his videos as a teenager, he had been out of the manufacturing business for a decade, but his legacy carried on and still does to this day. He used a bur edge to kill many of his animals before he developed the Bear razorhead. Many modern archers praise getting a razor edge and scoff at the bur edge as an effective cutting edge. I guess that means Fred would need to apologize to the 5 world record animals he harvested.
Nice story. Currently I have a 45# Super Kodiak Phenolic, a Fred Bear Takedown and the vintage Grizzly. My super magnum died too. Regarding the sharpness. I think that the razor edge can make a difference with maginal shots, it may be the difference between loosing the animal or finding it. But if you make a heart or double lung shot, it wouldent make a difference if its a burred edge. But no Hunter is always perfect. So thats why I make a razor out of mine
@@peterjuulsgaard Definitely no such thing as a broadhead that is too sharp. No complaints there. Not sure how long an extremely fine edge stays that way as it penetrates hair, hide, and muscle, along with ribs, and travels thru the animal. I don't know how to test it, but I suspect a more coarse "thicker" bur edge may not erode as quickly, but I don't know that for sure. The micro teeth of a bur edge have the amazing ability to grab and slice blood vessels.
Good show thanks
Cool video thank you and that's a beautiful bow 😍
Thanks for watching😉
Love your content
Nice to see that old Bear smoking them in there!
Yeah thats a good one
very beautiful bow
Yes indeed
Sorry, image error. In the first visualization I did not see the scale because the image was blurred, in the second visualization I have seen it, 560 gr. Thank you.
🔥👍
Hello
As always , whats better ?
A slow hit, or a fast miss?
Nice to see , that you hunt with vintage Bear , while your superfast ILF Arrowlauncher hanging on the wall 😉😀
I think it's All in Our brain...
Nice Video ,thank you ,cuddle Thor and greetings from lower saxony
Thanks. Its in folks heads for sure
my ben pearson hunter 709-(year1965) is a 45# 58" bow , velocity is also155 fps with 520 grains arrows ....i hope no bad...?
Not bad at all
Good to see Peter! So over 11 grains per pound, I have my bows/arrows at 10 grains per pound so would be interested in the speed at that specs but regardless seems pretty respectable
The weight on my fingers is actually around 48 pounds, so its more like 12 gpp. I haven’t shot a 480 grain through yet, but my guess would be around 164-165 fps.
Is the bowstring Dacron/ Polyester?
Yes Dacron
Still very effective today.
Yes sir
I just got a super grizzly...
Thats a Nice one
I found one for sale for 200 needs to be restrung do you think it’s worth it
If the bow is okay, I would say the price is ok
Hi Peter, have any of your recurve bow limbs ever broken when you were hunting?
No not when hunting. But limbs have exploded and delaminated in my time as an archer
@@peterjuulsgaard
Thank you very much for your prompt response.
When you go out to hunt big animals, do you bring guns for safety? Bears, lions, and wolves are dangerous.
Hello and thank you very much for the video.
154-155 feet per second of velocity, with 50 pounds of power,,, but please, with what weight of arrow?. Thank you.
Hello! I’m weighing the arrow in the video
Nice video. If I'm correct it would be around 36 gram. The power would then be barely 40 Jules. So the time must play a significant factor on the wood, as i.e this year wooden 50 lb Bodnik has this same power with 25 gram (I have a similar draw). Unless the old bow will also shoot 25 gram arrows with the same speed like bodnik do- but then what is the point of using a heavy arrow and losing the speed? Is it related to a large game and the impact?
The Bodnik with the same specs. Would be 5-10 fps faster with the same arrow. But thats primerely because of the string. Bows this age shoot Only Dacron strings and if you remember, I already made a video about that difference. There is little to none advantage with speed when it comes to traditional bowhunting. The average shot distance is simply so short, that trajectory doesent play any role for the Hunter who knows his gear. Animals can always jump the string, even with a 450 fps crossbow, so 20 fps more or less on a tradbow makes no difference. But what makes a difference is the penetration momentum from the heavy arrow. Everybody always talks about joules and kinetic energy, but what really counts is the momentum slug, that increases sicnificantly with arrow weight. Think of it as a spear. A throwing spear doesent move fast, but penetrates deep, right? I believe it answers your questions😉
@@peterjuulsgaardThank you Peter. Perfectly clear 😀
I would break that bow, I have broken a few bows because of my 32"draw. I like those old Bear bows, but try them anymore
Yeah 32” is way too long for this one. You need a 64” super Kodiak or a 64 Bear Takedown config
I just snapped a Bear takedown lower limb. Older one with the magnesium handle. Boom! 57#. I was drawing a full 28 inch arrow back with that bow. Had fascor limbs. I miss it already because it was an accurate bow. Felt like a 45 pound bow. Older takedown,, I was shooting it a ton these last few years. Even though I prefer a one piece wooden recurve in the lower 40 pound range. That 57# magnesium takedown was very smooth. I was very accurate out to 40 yards with it too. I didn't have to compensate for drop too much even with my wooden arrows. Lol. I'm gonna miss that thing
@mknight6556 3river Archery has 90th Bear Archery TD limbs. I have a 1970 C-Riser with #1 and #3 limbs.
IIRC Midway USA also sell limbs also. I'm going to get rid of my #3 , the bow is just way too long for hunting.
My favorite bow is a Super Kodiak 60AMO #60 but the bow that did most of m deer kill was a 52# Bear Grizzly . I hunt over 12 counties in FLA from 1999 to 2009 before it delaminated. I conservarly estimating I killed over 50 deer ( mainly sml does or double spikes ). I really do miss it.
