Does anyone shoot a 66 Kodiak?
« on: June 08, 2012, 08:45:00 PM »
I recently purchased one and love shooting it.
I've heard it said that Christianity is a crutch.  To me, it's a walking stick to use on the path of life.

Awesome Bows and they shoot great. The grip just doesn't suit my hand, the grip is a bit chunkier than I prefer.

Just bought a 68 Kmag (thanks Pat), needed a lower wt for my shoulder.  Looking forward to shooting it, since I'm a '67 model

I have a great shooting 66 Kodiak. I have not yet become very acquainted with it but from the little i have shot it can tell its a great and forgiving bow.
Relax,

The 66 Kodiak is a Great shooting bow.
As mentioned, the grip is a little funky but it can grow on you.
It was my first Kodiak and I shot it exclusively for a year.

I have one... love it!  I'm new to trad and it was my third trad bow purchase in about a years time and caused me to sell the first two and get another Bear (a red stripe takedown)... love them both!  The '66 is so smooth and quiet... and really stacks the arrows!  AND it's beautiful to boot!

I shoot a 66 from time to time. 47#, 64". Nice bow. I like the bigger grip.

I have a 50# '66 and it shoots great!  I was surprised at the zip it has!  Fred had his ducks in a row when he designed these!
