"Old Bear archery ain't what she used to be", their Bear Grizzly recurves are a joke, I purchased a bear grizzly and had to send it back twice because of defects, the third bow I received was a 60# pound recurve and it takes 72 pounds to draw that 60 pound bow 28 inches , the tips of the newer 50# pound bear grizzly recurves will not stand the test of time they have very delicate limb tips and are doomed to fail, If you want to buy a brand new Bear grizzly recurve I strongly suggest you examine it real close before you buy it , If you buy a new one online you will be disappointed when you see the the limb tips of the newer Bear grizzly recurve bow.
