Maybe you can identify some of these bows, if you can, email me and I'll insert it so everyone else can see what it is. I've started it off by posting some of my own unknown bows. Email me your photo and I'll insert under your description.

This is one of 2 bows which are nearly identicle. They are static recurves and the lines are very simular to a Nels Grumley bow. They have a G in a cirle burnt in the handle. They are a self backed bow and appears to be made from osage. Thanks
Response
The bows you have with the G in the circle marking was made by Earl Grubbs in
Los Angeles, guessing somewhere about 1938-1945.
Joe St. Charles
sidenote: I found a 1943 ad in Ye Sylvan Archer clearly showing the circle G trademark. Tim

This one is probably around 1957 or so. It has a red fiberglass backing and white fiberglass belly. Dark, dark red leather grip. It appears to be factory made but has no markings other than "49 28". It is tapped for a Bear 3 arrow quiverand the 2 locator holes for it are clearly visable. I love and shoot this bow regularlly and I have added the red leather rest.

I have my Red Wing Hunter that I bought (with my own money earned delivering newspapers 25+ years ago) hanging in my son's room. We shoot our compounds together (PSE Bandit, PSE Baby-G). Archery is a sport that we can share together for life. I can't think of parting with the Red Wing after all these years, but I read the bowhunter.net clubhouse all the time, and I'm curious what it's worth (aside from my sentimental value). I just bought a finger tab and reflected my old aluminum shafts, and I'm ready to start shooting it again this spring!
Response
Bill, I'm so glad to see your and your son sharing our wonderful sport. My father introduced me at age 12 and its stuck with me for 27 years now.(for a picture of me at age 12 click "back to home page" below, then photos). The Red Wing hunter is a fine bow, selling for $59.95 in 1971 (Bow & Arrow Archer's digest, 1971 1st ed.). Todays value probably starts there and goes up to $150.00 depending on condition. Typical fleamarket/garage sale price is $20 to $50. Todays recurves sell for more than that so replacement cost is higher but it sounds like the sentimental value is higher so shoot and enjoy. By the way, the wood is shedua and it also came in 56" length.

These 2 bows appear to be made by the same manufacturer or bowyer and are of high quality. Both are bamboo backed with one having an additional backing on top of that which may be silk or the like. They have what appears to be a fiberglass belly but the appeared age of the bows doesnt support that. The metal M plate on one is the owners ID. The suede gripped one is a straight longbow while the smooth leather gripped one is slightly reflexed. The were obtained from the same owner as the Earl Grubbs bows so age may be the same. Both have left and right arrow shelfs but the suede gripped one is more right handed prone.
Looks like an early attempt at a takedown. I know I saw some thing like many years ago but can't place it now The following is a link to a picture of it. I find the metal and bolts on the riser are unique.
George, I dont have a clue. I saw this on Ebay (bid on it and lost) without knowing what it was. Joe St Charles didnt know what it was either. It has a kit bow look to it, maybe a Herters or something. I'll research my library to see if I can find it.

On the top limb it states "Slim Line. This bow is in excellent condition and I was wondering if you could provide me with any additional info and what this bow might be worth. Your time is greatly appreciated.
Response
Thanks for visiting Margaret. In the Sept 1971 issue of Archery world is an ad for the Red Wing Pro. The description for the Slime line is: "The Wing slim line is slimmer to hold better...fell better...shoot better. The unique design means the most consistant, torque-free bow you'll ever shoot". back then Wing was owned by Head Ski Co. I have a 1972 Wing Competition, also a Head Ski bow. I have a 1974 Wing catalog when they were owned by AMF, so in 73 or 74 they were bought out. My 74 catalog shows the the Red Wing Hunter, not the Pro, and there is no mention of the "Slim Line". Without knowing more I would guess yours to be a 72 or 73 model. As for the value I would refer you to what I wrote to Bill above. Thanks again.

Greg, The Kodiak Hunter was made from 1967-1977, your ser # indicates it is 1970 or later. Without a description I can only say this. If the Bear medalion is flat, inlaided, it is 1970-1972, a rounded button is 1972 or later. You can read most of this in Joe's and Al's articles under collecting articles elsewhere on this site. Email me a better (any) description and I'll try to tell you more. A picture is best. Thanks
Tim
on limbs it says bear glass powered grizzly, it also has the grayling michigan written on the lower limb i would like to know what year this bow is, it also has the gold bear medallion in the riser.
Response
Robert, First its not a 1965 thru 1969 model, if it were the ser # would have began with a 5,6,7,8 or 9. When you say the medalion is in the risor I assume it is the coin medallion which would make it pre 1965 but the ser # doesnt match, these were still numbers in the first digit till they are much older in which case you would know, therefor it must be the rounded, button medallion which makes more sense and makes it at least post 1974. It is interesting that both my 1978 and 1983 Bear catalogs show Grizzly's with ser#'s that begin with GR. But you say it says Grayling Mich which makes it no older than 1978. Therefor, it must be a 1975-1978 model, whew. My 1985 catalog does not show the Grizzly at all and appears to have been dropped. Please understand this is my best guess, read the collecting articles elsewhere on this site for more info.

Tom, Boy I dont know much about colts. I saw a book the other day at Barnes & Noble labeled Colt Collectables which had a small section on Colt Archery. Ron Lough is a Colt memorabilia collector and has several Colt bows. He might be able to help you at: lough@inav.net . Also Joe StCharles knows alot about all brands, you'll find his email elsewhere in this site. Let me know what you find out.

Very good cond ,original string,black leather case with Bear logo zipper fob left hander
Response
Kurt, The Super Magnum 48 was made from 1966-1976. 1966 to 1969 will begin with the year as the first digit in the ser #,ie 6,7,8 or 9. After that they begin with K. If the Bear medalion is flat, inlaided, it is 1966-1972, a rounded button is 1972 or later. You can read most of this in Joe's and Al's articles under collecting articles elsewhere on this site. I'v got a zipper fob too and they're cool.
Made maybe middle fiftys,can be shot left or right handed.leather wrap handle.
Response
Gary, The Kodiak had a leather grip from 1950 to 1958. In 1959 the Kodiak was the first to drop the leather grip. I have a kodiak just like yours. The sight window has a gradual cut that makes the sight window on both sides as opposed to the sharp cut found in later years. Mine is a 1956 model. In 1954 Bear made all models, exept the Cub, with double arrow shelfs. This was the only year for the Kodiak II (which replaced the Kodiak for that year only). So your Kodiak is a 1955-1957. In 1957-1958 they went back to the single shelf.
Tim
Right handed bought new in 1966
Response
This ones easy, its a 1965 model. This was a good year, I believe it was the first year for the classic "stripe" found in most all later Kodiak recurves.
Blonde wood with mint green glass on top and bottom. Upper limb has Bear logo(Bear Archery Co.Grayling Mich) has three U.S. patents and Canada 1953. Upper limb has target logo and says Fred Bear's Instant Archery.
Response
This one I'm not sure of. My 1974 & 1973 catalog have an instant archery set but it is a fiberglass only bow, not wood. This may have been a Black Bear bow which was made in 60" lengths and was an entry level bow. The Grayling Black Bear was made from 1972-1978. Al Reader says the glass color was a very random affair as they used what ever they were supplied with.

It is a very narrow English type longbow with some type of symulated horn nocks. Leather hand grip. Above the grip on the back is the number 38. I believe this is the year it was made, although I will not string it, it is to strong to be 38lbs. On the belly there is a Bitzenburger decail, the same as on the fletching jigs. It is very narrow and thick, not more than an inch at the widest. The back does not follow one growth ring, but cuts through several. May be hickory. It is stained a walnut color I am in Korea and do not have a picture with me. Thank you for any information.

It has a modest recurve to it. Burnt brown in color. Here is the story: I bought it from the grandson of the fellow who had owned it. I made the purchase for the accessories not the bow, because I had never heard of the make and model. However, after shooting it I really like it and want to find out more about it. I think the vintage is about 1960 and I think that Malibu may have been an Archery shop in Los Angeles. The name Schramm is written in old english lettering on a piece of paper that is embedded in the clear coat. I am thinking that Schramm was the Bowyer making bows for Malibu. There is a decal on the lower limb with a Tiger logo and below it Malibu and El Tigre (see photos) I would greatly appreciate any information anyone may have on this bow and Malibu as it is currently my favorite for shooting. Also, has anyone heard of Malibu in Los Angeles?? Thanks, Tom

Here is the information on the bow: The sticker on the limb reads: Mfg under Allen Pat No. 3,486,495, by Damon Howatt Archery, a subsidiary of MARTIN ARCHERY, INC. The handle area looks like a wood laminate and has the #'s 2431 & W(?)HP 25186 just below where the balancer would screw in. The numbers were hand written in black on the wood laminate handle. The number -4- appears on each limb in white. The limbs are 1 3/4" wide, black fiberglass with a V notch 3 3/4" from the end to accommodate the single, round, aluminum cams. The bow also has the original Martin string in place. The draw length (best as I can figure) is 31" give or take, and the length of the bow strung is 45 1/2". The bow appears to be in excellent to good condition. Can you please tell me more about it? I would like to use it for hunting. What is the maximum draw weight? Are replacement parts or accessories available for this bow? How old is it and is it safe to use once serviced by an authorized dealer? Thanks in advance!! Bill Evans

I would like to refinish and use as a target shooter if practicle. I do not know how to refinish. It does have two small holes in the front. Can these be filled and will this affect shooting? The bow limbs are walnut colored on the back-side and gray on the front. the riser appears to be maple with walnut???(on shelf side) It has a leather grip in good condition. The only markings on the bow are (top limb) Bear - Glass Powered - Kodiak Special. (bottom limb) Bear Archery Company, Grayling Michigan, with a standing bear logo. This is a right handed bow and just below the leather grip on the shelf side are the markings R.XP2 72 64" 60#. What would the draw length be?? The entire bow "appears" to me to be in shootable condition? How do I know for sure? The tip overlays on the upper limb have been visibly knocked off with just the gray glass showing. The rest of the bow has a few small light scratches from the years of being packed around. There are no dents of any kind. Can I refinish this bow (fill the two holes)and possibly install a new tip overlay, and just use it as a shooter from time to time? I reside in Idaho and shoot a longbow and a compound. Would like to refinish if possible? Any thoughts/wisdom you could send me would be greatly appreciated! Thank You! Possible refinishing or partial refinishing options? Thanks again.....Brent

It uses a metal cable connected to a metal cable yoke attached to the far ends of the cam axle within the outside edges of the split limbs. This is simular to current day all nylon string cables. The metal cable is plastic encased and does not connect using nodules on the end. The string attaches with a loop on either end on a spool on the cam, not to the cable. It has two aluminum cams. I do not know the letoff, but is is better than 65%. I recieved this bow from the Bear factory as a replacement several years ago for another bow that was under warranty. The cable has recently broke and I want the spec's, manual info, etc. or any information available for the bow. I didn't get this information from Bear, and did not fuss since it was a much better bow than the one I took to them. I sent an email request similar to this to Bear but haven't heard back from them. Thank you

Because of the bow being stainless it "flashed" and had to be taped to not frighten deer, hence the stopping of production.

On both the upper and lower limbs, near where they attach to the riser, there is a decal with a clear background and three colored rings, one each of red, yellow, and blue. The riser sports a silver toned Bear medallion. I bought this bow used approximately 15 years ago. It had at least two previous owner's. The person I bought it from believed that it was one of a group of target bows, manufactured especially by Bear for use by some form of U.S. National archery team in the 1970's or early eighties. I was shooting it at an archery range this morning (it shoots EXTREMELY smoothly and accurately), and one of the other archers suggested I should try to find more information about it through this site.

I've got a BEAR Kodiak Takedown. There is no information on the bow. I know its a Bear because of the slip together limbs. What I was wondering is if you can tell me approx. when the bow was built and if it would be OK to shoot. The bow has a magnesium riser which is painted brown in color, it has a 2 & 11/16th slot in running length wise in the sight window right through. The riser is also tapped for a stabilizer and tapped on the back side for I would say a berger button or a rest but it doesn't go completely through to the shelf. The limbs are solid green glass with black plastic tips that have the BEAR name raised. The limbs aren't twisted or chipped and the riser has no cracking. I don't know if you can help but any info on the bow would be appreciated. Thanks!

This sleve appears to go completely through the riser, and is threaded on the belly side of the bow to acommodate certain types of quivers. The limbs are held securely in place, not by pins, as seems typical in most high end take downs, but by the sides of the plates that seem to be two equal sized welded pieces of silver metal that that cover an equal amount of the riser and limb. It seems much more durable and attractive than some of the import bows that have a similar limb stabilization attachment. The limbs are black with what appears to be simple rose wood tips. The butt end of the limbs are heavily built up with the same wood as on the tip. The limb butt is almost a full inch thick. It has pressed into it a silver colored receiver for the large knurled knob that holds the limbs in place. The limbs are not all that remarkable, but the riser is quite attractive with a number of laminations of light and dark wood. It has one accent stripe that is straight and another that is curved.
