1959 Kodiak, the 31st on the 31st!

Doc, I know what you mean. I get along much better with a little longer bow. My 60" bows are my "short recurves". I look at them the same way a lot of other folks look at a 52"-56" bow. Most of my stuff is 62" and up.

Hang on to her. You won't regret it! CKruse

O.K. So here's the serial # off the SWEET 59 Kodiak I picked up from Bearbowman in the final minutes of this years Denton Hill  1-JX-15 60" 40#
it has the aluminum coin (1960?) purpleheart sight window and a 22 stamped in the riser,no stress,no cracks,one of the cleanest 59's I've ever seen.I was in love at first sight and had to have her.

44 ya got any pics ??? I got a call from a customer whom has a 1959 64" 55# I guess the bow is in very very good condition.I've not seen it in person..One problem is both original paper tip overlays are missing.The glue just failed and at some point the tips just fell off...The bow has not been shot or repaired and was found as is.I may be able to buy the bow myself,but he may also decide to keep it as he's not sure.And I'am not sure how much I would or actually could afford to pay for a 59 with no tip overlays(hell looking like you could get a Grum for 895.00 opening bid).No tip overlays could mean the glue failed and they just fell off as mentioned or the worse case...it may have gotten wet or to hot at some point also causeing glue failure..............bowdoc
