    The grip on my old Grizzly was really dry cracked up and plain ugly. So last night I searched around in my leather scrap pile and found me a nice thin piece and laced it on my grip. I still have to clean the edges up a bit but shoot its better than it was.

    It is a 1962 bow and is 62". I am pretty sure that the grip that was on there was original because the bow has a camo paint job w/ the Bear emblems and writing on top of the paint, and then under the grip there was no paint.

    I've got one that's 53#.. They made it in a factory camo that year. I've always really liked those 62" Grizzly's they're good shooting bows.

    I've got several bows made during that time period, took nice Tom turkey with a 1959 grizzly a couple years ago.
