Nels was a fantastic craftsman, and his skills show in each and every one of his bows. Why the different means of signing the bows? Nels left Bear in when Fred made the decision to begin mass production of bows at the new factory in Grayling. Nels felt strongly that bows should be individually crafted, and not made by machine. Nels left, even though Fred tried to convince him to stay with some handsome financial offers, and struck out on his own to make bows.
However, his private venture into the bow making business lasted only two years before he took a job in an appliance manufacturer as a model maker.
Not all Bear bows made in these early years were made by Nels. There were several other bowyers who made Bear wooden bows, mostly the lower line lemonwood models such as the Ranger. These bows were available primarily in one piece design , but a few were made in 2 piece take-apart and some in 2 piece hinged models.
The later Grumleys also can be found in laminated woods as well as self-wood models. A characteristic of Grumley bows is the trapezoidal limb cross section. By this I mean that the face of the limb is wider and tapers down towards the back of the limb giving a cross-sectional view which appears as a trapezoid.
But whatever the model,and whatever the wood or backing, the quality of the craftsmanship was simply unparalleled. Of the bows which I have seen over the years, the only bowyers who I would put in the same class as Grumley would be James D. Easton of California and E. Pope of Texas. The Grumley bow on the left is a Bush Bow, while the bow on the right is the Deerslayer model. Notice the different length of the brush nocks. Beginning in , Bear Archery moved into a new plant in Grayling, Michigan.
Bow sales were now beginning to soar as new archers and bowhunters entered the sport in record numbers due in large part to the successful promotions of Fred Bear. But Nels Grumley would not accept that quality bows could be made by any other manner than one-at-a-time, so Nels left the company to go out on his own.
Upon Nels departure, Fred moved another employee by the name of Bob Meeker over to supervise the manufacturing of the new bow lines. Even though bows were then largely the result of machine work, Bob came to be considered a fine bowyer in his own right. The Polar and Kodiak were introduced in the following year, These bows of , and early can be recognized by the lamination of aluminum in the limbs. The aluminum lamination on the Kodiak and Grizzly is found only in the inner lamination, surrounded by layers of maple and glass.
However, on the Polar, the aluminum is found both under a layer of maple and glass, and on the outside lamination. In and Bear was using a bi-directional glass on their bows which looks somewhat like a basket weave pattern. Then in Bear began using a new Uni-Directional glass in which the glass fibers all ran lengthwise to the bow limbs. The Grizzly also began production with the aluminum lamination, but very early in the aluminum was dropped due to the high reported breakage problems.
The Kodiak was introduced in with the bi-directional glass and the aluminum lamination. Then in early , just as with the Grizzly, the new uni-directional glass was introduced but the aluminum lamination was still present. This glass change apparently occurred around serial number Then in mid, the aluminum lamination was dropped.
So for you will find Kodiaks with aluminum and bi-directional glass, aluminum with uni-directional glass, and no-aluminum with uni-directional glass. Make me a Fair offer. Please check out my other items. It does have a couple of places where paint on the riser has chipped off.
