I have a 56 Kodiak with the double shelf. Shoots great. I can't get used to that shelf, however, do the Kodaik Special should be better for you.
The 56 Kodiak is like a longbow but different. Very unique shooting experience.
Mine is 64" and 54#. A real tack driver but I'm very erratic with it. I guess time and practice will change things. Maybe it's just a wall hanger. Does have a lot of history to it.
Enjoy your bow
