I have a question what can a guy expect to find one with no holes and decent shape?
Looking for a mid 40s. 1962 is my birth year.
Thank you

I recently got a 1962 KMag in great shape for 150 bucks. I have a 1961 Kodiak I paid 175 for. I have a 1960 Kodiak I paid 918 for. Spend what you want to.

I've yet to find a bow I shoot better than my 62 Kodiaks. I've got 4 of them - I spent $300 and up $450 on them.
The $450 bow has some truly spectacular rosewood- and I bought it when the bow market was quite a bit stronger than it is now.
That being said - Dave is right on the money (so to speak) - spend what you are willing to when you find the right bow.
I'd bet you will not be disappointed in how they shoot :)

Thank you. I'm going to be on the lookout for one
I appreciate the insight
-
I missed one last year that went for $275
-
I have "overpaid" for a bow myself but I was ok with it since I really wanted it lol. If you find one love I'd say whatever your willing to pay.
-
That was the case with the 918 dollar Kodiak. It is in great condition and I wanted it for a very specific collection. There is no magic to a Kodiak. Many say the 1962 Kodiak Special is the best ever Bear bow.

I have a 62 in the rosewood.I paid $300 it and bear quiver and a bunch of other old archery stuff.I figured $200 into the bow.I'm thinkin $350 value bow only.But I wound'nt sell mine, Its a #50er.Only one other bow I ever shot that is sweeter was a #47 1959 kodiak.

-
Oh man

-
Big thanks to Brad I'll have my hands on one in a couple weeks

I was also born in 1962 and I bought one on **** for $250.00. The 1962's are BEAUTIFUL!
I am left handed so they are even harder to find:(
I am looking for another one 45lb or lower if anyone has one:)
-
Ingwe, One of the advantages of being left handed is that when you do find what you are looking for, it is usually cheap. Left handed bows gather a lot of dust and get marked down hoping that one of the six or seven left handed archers in America will buy an extra bow?
Gator1, I haven't looked but my guess is that you will see the Kodiak on Tuesday. It is a beauty! Now that it is out of the way, I can see little 37# Rosewood beauty.
Maybe you can take the twelve step program and post a picture when it arrives in Minnesota.
-
Thanks Brad, LOL!
-
Brad you can count on it. I'm going to make some acme cedars for its arrival.
Can't wait. :archer2: :archer2:

62 Kodiaks are pretty awesome!!!! Looks like you found a nice one.
-
The 62 Kodiak is a very impressive design
and boy they shoot really good!
-
Looks nice Gator1
Funny how much the market is down, maybe half price to what these bows were 10 years ago.
-
Looks very clean and ready to go. I've been looking for a 40 to 45 pounder myself. My 50 is more for fall . Want the lighter one for the rest of the year.
