Kodiak vs Super Kodiak
« on: July 01, 2012, 09:50:00 PM »
These are my 2 latest buys.

1965 Kodiak
1968 Super Kodiak

My question is:
What makes the Super Kodiak that much different from the original Kodiak that Bear called it Super?

Both bows very high quality. The first Super Kodiaks had very refined craftmanship with lots of detail.  
You have a nice collection going.   :)

To my eye.....if you remove the "horns" from the back of 65,66 Kodiaks, and the Super Kodiaks you have a 1961/1962 Kodiak.

Pretty much marketing in my eyes. In '67 when the Kodiak became the Super Kodiak, they also introduced the Kodiak Hunter at a price point between the Grizzly and the Super.

Other than material, there is little difference between the 65/66 and the Supers..


I never really noticed any change in workmanship Kodiak vs Super K,, But the Hunter obviously saw less finish

I agree with raghorn
Always strive to do the right thing. Don't beat yourself down when you mess up. Ask for forgivness and keep on keeping on.
