One of Bear's greatest shooting bows. Unfortunately, the limb tip laminations were made out of some sort of impregnated cardboard and were prone to cracking or delaminating altogether with age. I have repaired a few that did not have major tip failure beforehand. 59 was the only year Bear did this. The years 58 and 60 were glass tips. If I had to choose only one I would go with the 1960.

I have a 57 Kodiak which I like and shoot well.  I use a stringer to brace it-the recurves are really deep and I think that the limbs could be twisted easily.  

I've had no problems with the tips, but it probably only had a dozen arrows through it when I got it.  The story is it spent most of its life in a sleeve in the closet.  Still had the factory string until I made a Flemish twist for it.  

The biggest issue I've had with it is I don't like to shoot it much because it is in such good shape!
