1963 Kodiak- Bubinga riser (African Rosewood)
Don't be scared to shoot it Paul. The 60" model is safe, It it the Type I & II 62" Kodiak Magnum that was a problem in '63.
In my opinion, the '63 & '64 Kodiaks were the best shooting bows that Bear ever made.
That is the Bow that Papa Bear used to take his Tiger,
Great shooter, great collectors bow. Great find.
