Like the last time this post came out, my 1960 64-inch, 45 lb Kodiak Special is still my best shooting bow for me. Has a few deep stress cracks just above the riser but I have some stress cracks from old age too. It'll outlast me. Not my best looking bow but best shooting.
Had lots of old Bears, a few Wings and Damon Howatts, but the '60 Special's grip is fat enough it just fits my big hand and lunch grabbers real good, and I like they way it is sort of a hybrid in regard to being a stable target bow but with classic hunting bow characteristics. It shoots those skinny Easton Trad 600's like a dream at long field archery type distances and is steady as a rock. With my short draw length, point on only 40-yards but that makes it really easy to aim and stick'em in there. Those arrows fly at the longer targets like I remember when I shot field archery long ago and the arrows sort of sink down into the target. Just a smooth shooting bow and a real piece of art work.
If it could be better, I wish it had both sides with white glass like '62 grizzlys, then it would be even a better looking bow. A little lighter draw of 40 to 42 lb would make me even happier but my 45 lb is awful close with my 26-inch draw. Think they will plant this one in the ground with me on the fourty-four north of Bristow, OK someday.
