I don't know if /out/ is the right place to ask, but i would be very thankfull for any information about this bow.
My Dad gave it to me, after my vintage Grizzly was no more safe to shoot. He bought it with no info in an auction.
Would like to know how old it is. What wood is used, etc. Would appreciate any info on the model.
Well, I know Bear archery only made bows in Grayling, Michigan until 1978. And that the raised coin started in 1972. Before that it was flush with the wood. (Mine is raised)

Even the serial number, length and draw weight couldn't help me in my search.

Bruin II
BR01810
AMO 85"
45/50#

It drives me nuts that i can't seem to find anything about it. It seems like it never existed. I even found old catalogs, but again nothing shows up. Maybe someone here knows more.
