Add Another Bear bow
« on: August 25, 2011, 07:26:00 PM »
Saw an add for a couple of bows today,and went and checked it out. Mostly older compounds,except for this left handed Bear
Kodiak!  I asked the guy how much,and he asked if $25 would be to much,I dropped my wallet twice!,On the way to my truck he runs out and hands me 10 Easton 2016's that he said goes with the bow. I feel pretty smug right now. Any help with the year made,and is that the original shelf material?--Thanks -1Longbow

That would be a 1965 Kodiak. The Rug Rest might be original but the strikeplate is not original.

Great Find.

That's a 1965.  I had the opportunity to shoot a 1965 RH 46# the other day.  WOW!!  That's all I have to say.  It was a FINE shooting bow and smooth!

CONGRATS!

I was gonna say 64 but that was a stab.

Here is a link that can help  and even help with riser woods.

To say you got your moneys worth is an understatement.  I picked up a righty 63 for 50 bucks and a end cap delaminated.   :thumbsup:

Great score! You Americans are really lucky in the second-hand old bow department.

Try 7 3/4" on the brace height. That's a good place to start on old Bears. It might go up to 8 1/4".
