Rare looking Super Kodiak ?
« on: October 05, 2012, 05:29:00 PM »
Fella's Did Bear ever make a Super Kodiak with what looks to be Zebra wood and maybe bubinga in the riser and white limbs with a green cap about 4/6 inchs on the back right where the limbs start to taper? The green cap tapers to a point on the back not belly...I'll be getting more imfo in a little while but I saw a pic of it and I noticed it looks like a Super K with a flat coin madallion...I never saw a cap on one so if you have a pic of one could you share it? Thanks much...

Can you share a picture of the one you saw?

Ron,
 After asking infomation I did better then that I went to the auction building where it was being advertised and looked at it...It indeed had those caps on it BUT some idiot painted them on there and cut on the riser shelf to make an overdraw or for a bracket for a sight..He also drilled the heck out of the back of the riser for sights and had electric tape covering the holes and those painted on caps was covering  holes someone drilled into the limbs..It was a Polar not a Super K as I first thought with a beutiful riser like a super K from 64...It has Zebra and some other wood that looked like Bubinga but not certain of that wood....It also had the metal scrimshaw plate that was imbedded in the riser...Someone hacked the heck out of the bow...I will p.m the place I saw it so you could look at the pic that baffled me...The pic ain't so bad but the bow looked like it had termites with all the holes....   :banghead:

I just looked at the pictures and I was going to guess a Kodiak Special. Can't tell in the photo how bad it is other than the green paint.
There is an auction place just down the road from me and they also do on-line bidding. After seeing items in the hand I can't imagine bidding on-line. At least with E.B.A.Y. there is some protection.
thank you for sending the info.

 It was a Polar and the bow on the right was a BlackHawk B...The Blackhawk was better in shape...
