Hi, Guy's i'm not really a collector as much as i am a gatherer.Not sure i spelled that right.But my question is what is the best bear bow or bows from 1968.I'm sure there will be differing opinions.But i'd like to hear what you think.Thanks Jim

I'll incur the wrath of the Super Kodiak group, and state that the 1968 Bear HUNTER (Bubinga), is the smoothest, fastest handeling Bear of that year. Mine feels like it was molded in Heaven and sent down to earth, to make it's journey over the decades... to me, just to hunt with.

Here's my favorite. It's my 68' SK in a 64" 55#. It is silky smooth only problem is it is in such good shape I hate to drag it out in the woods.

Heres my favorite bear it is either a 68 or 69 Kodiak Hunter I'm not sure,(no data on it),...its not the smoothest bear I've ever shot,(that was a 69 Super Kodiak, nor the prettiest. But this bow feels the best...echoing Hit-or-Misss...it feels as if it was molded to my hand... Posts: 162 | From: Michigan | Registered: Dec 2010

Bill, I don't know it was already done when I got it. I bought it from Gil Verwey (sp). Do you know or are you familiar with it? Did Rich or Bowdoc do it?

Not Rich's work. Maybe bd. It is great work but you can tell it was refinished because of the lettering on the bow. That serial number, amo/weight is not Bear.

Wow those are some beautiful bow's guy's.Is the phenolic riser on the super kodiak common?I like a bow with alot of mass weight.In case your wondering i was born in 68.I got a A mag takedown a few weeks ago kinda on a whim.I never really gave these older bow's much thought.But i really like the takedown.And at sometime would like to add a Bear from 68 to my pile.Thanks again for all your input guy's. Jim
