Super Kodiak ?'s

[Masham Man]

I have a few questions about a Super Kodiak I just purchased. I'm pretty sure its a 70's. The serial # is k29311. It is 40# and 60" long. It is in very good condition except the coin is missing. If some of you experts could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Daniel- you can get the bow dated here by simply posting a picture. To find a coin just put in a search for this forum and you'll have the problem solved by supper time.    GY

The K serial number indicates a 70s bow. If it is in fact a «coin» missing and not a «button» it’s most likely either a 1970, 71 or early 72. if there is no stab bushing, chances are it’s a 1970.

Ok, it has a stabilzer bushing. It has the bear glass powered super kodiak label on the front side of the limb. The riser is kinda greyish brown with a thin red strip through it about a 1/4" wide. I am at work right now. I will try to post pics this weekend. Also who refinishes these bows and how much does it cost? I'm afraid I will mess it up if I do it. I bought it for a bowfishing bow, but its awfully pretty to get wet and muddy.

I believe the SK's with a red stripe were made in 1973 and 1974.

does the place where the coin goes have the normal coin sized hole or is it a small square peg looking hole ??? if its 73-74 it would have had the raised plastic button rather then a coin.
If the bow has a flat coin and stabilizer bushing and the upper silk screen is on the belly or shooter side that would be a 1972.If the upper silk screen is on the back of the limb and has a stabilizer bushing that would be 1971.If the upper silk screen is on the back with no stabilizer bushing that would be a 1970 pics ??? bd

Thank you guys for the info. From what bowdoc said it has to be a 1971 model. I will post pics one of these days.
