54 Kodiak II
« on: October 12, 2008, 12:52:00 PM »
Just recieved this jewel and am excited.
Compass, Double Shelf. Must have been owned by a southpaw as very little wear to the right handed shelf. Any brace height suggestions? Should I even shoot it?
String looked to be the original and quite ratty, so I slipped the B50 off my Ghost for the pics.

Real good shape with some oxidation and fading on the glass limbs. The wood and leather are still in VG condition. I need to find the Kodiak II emblem decal. The others are decent enough, and the tips are pretty clean as well.

Vermonster and Allan,
 I've been out tuning in for over an hour. I'm braced at 7 5/8 and thinking of going up a bit. 5575s'@30 1/2. Started w/245 and increased to 300 up front.
 It could be the excitement or nostalgia, but I believe this is as nice a bow as I've ever shot.
 Sure resembles my "Ghost" in many respects. I understand why some of the newer bows are designed on this concept.
 Excellent handling characteristics for my preferences. I just may have found "my bow".
