I've got a 1955 kodiak special 64 inch 49 at 28 that I just purchased off fleabay last week. I haven't received the bow yet but may be interested in a trade. My bow appears very shootable, straight limbs and all. Is your 54 a lefty ? It was my impression that the compass bows were structurely weak in the riser and bear achery quit making the compass bows as a result. Either way, they are beautiful. If you are interested, please send pics. Bhill
