I just picked this one. I don't have the Bear Catalogs on CD yet (I am going to take your advice and order one Tom) and could use your help in any details you could provide on this. Year? Wood? etc. It is the wrong side for me. Thanks alot John [/url] [/IMG]

Hey John, if you look down the page a bit, you'll see a thread titled something like "Bear Kodiak Specials".
Wade Phillips compiled a whole bunch of pics and data. If you look through it you'll see your bow in there.

Yup. Most likely a 57. Your very own Little Delta Bow.

A very clean looking '57.  Those bows are great shooters.

Thanks guys. the bow truly is stunning IMO. Looks beautiful and my wife and I were talking that we couldn't believe it was over 50 years old. Fred Bear really made some great bows!
