Thank You BowDoc
« on: December 13, 2007, 06:05:00 PM »
I had a 1966 Bear Kodiak that needed restoring. I was referred to BowDoc and so I sent him an email and after talking to him a little sent him the bow. Then tradganhers started inviting him on hunting trips, and the new silk screens were delayed. Well I got it today and WOW!
I'd post pics but I don't want to be responsible for jealous rages and bitter tears. Well that and I don't have a digital camera right now.
By the way the bow is 64" 63#@28" I think the woods are Zebrawood(highly figured) and Shedua.Maybe BowDoc will post if I am mistaken. need to put a side plate and shelf and a string on it and then it's tuning time.

Don has two of mine on the way home now, a '68 Super K, 60", 69@29 and a '71 B wooden riser. I know what you mean, Kip-Don has about fixed it so I don't have a "beater" left. Congratulations C2-the wait is always worth it with BD.    Grant

Other than refinishing/refurbishing bows, can / does Don do more elaborate work such as converting a one-piece longbow to a takedown?

It does my heart good to read where so many of the "Oldies" are being restored and used. Folks need to keep history alive, and those old bows performed just fine.
