Hi Tony.
Hope your doing well.

I was lucky on this one.
I have been chasing for a vintage LH Kodiak for a while now with no luck. Most LH folks don't let em go so quick.

Anyway,
I remembered having and selling a 67 1/2 LH Super Kodiak back in the day.
I thought it was 55# but was'nt certain.
I knew who I sold it to and asked if he was willing to let me have it back and he did.

2# off, turns out to be 53#.
I was close   :knothead:  .

That's a seriously hard to find bow being Left Handed sure complicates an already complicated process, trying to collect vintage Bear Bows.  I have only recently started this venture and have gotten a very nice 66 Kodiak and a nice 71 Kodiak but haven,t seen anything like this. Congrats on a great find.  RW

The kodiaks are nice and when you find one available that is what you have been seeking, snap it up.
I think it is more rare to find someone that wants to use them. That is why so many are being treasured by the few guys that know. I was using the only ones I saw at shoots around here last year. Thanks to the internet many are more available today. I know for one that in my neck of woods you would have never found anything available in the late 70's, 80's and even the 90's like what is out there today.  :)
