A question about 59 kodiak serial #
« on: November 01, 2009, 07:44:00 PM »
Hi, I just purchased a kodiak and the serial number is BG466                                             60"
 44#
  F.

Does anyone know what the F. represents? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I believe the F represents the initial of the employee on the weight scale the day the bow came through. That was a nice score I new it wouldn't last long.By the way I have BG465.

Thanks alot Yellow bow, does this mean our kodiaks are in consecutive construction order? thats pretty cool, what are the chances? I have several vintage bows, but just have started with the 59s and 60s. Trying to figure out the #s. Thanks
