My '61 Kodiak reproduction
« on: July 27, 2008, 01:17:00 AM »
In May I got the itch to build something different.  I'd always heard the '62 Kodiak was a good performer so I thought I'd try to build something similiar.  I'm not a collector so I didn't have anything to look at except pictures on the net.  When I found out the '62 had a 27" riser I wasn't interrested in a riser that long so I put a 22" riser in it.  I wanted a 60" bow so that is what I built.  After doing a little research and looking at more pictures I think I have a similiar bow to the '61 Kodiak.  It sure smokes an arrow and has no handshock even with a low brace height of 7" or less.  I like a little higher bh though.  Chad

Black walnut with purple heart sight window.  Bamboo and cherry cores.

It has matching red and white tips as well.

Very nice looking bows Chad.  The PH I-Beam is sweet.
