A. 1958 Kodiak factory camo.
Bear cedar arrows with 1957-59 version of Bear Razorheads. Vintage leather top tape on Bear Quiver modified with rubber Great Northern straps.  

B. 1971 Bear Super Kodiak, Bear 4 arrow converta quiver, Microflite Fiberglass arrows and 1964 version of Bear Razorhead

C. 'Vintage Style'- 2014 Bear A handle Custom Kodiak take-down, Great Northern side mount quiver and Easton Axis Woodgrain arrows with Bear 1964 version or Razorheads. Since this bow came out in 1970 Catalog, I'm considering it vintage.     ;)  

My oldest daughter will be hunting with an original 1959 Kodiak and the younger will probably use her 1955 Kodiak (but is trying to work into a Super Shrew Lil' Favorite).

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.
