friend gave me older bear bow
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:45:00 AM »
I picked up traditional equipment about three years ago and put it down due to a bad accident. I was not in it for that long so I did not learn all I need to before picking it up again. I recently just strated shooting a recurve again.. I traded work for a PSE takedown sable at 45# and this is what I am currently shooting (just started shooting a week ago).
I tell one of my buddies and he brings me a gift. Its a super kodiak that his dad owned. It has a K in the first part of the serial #. it is 64"amo and 45#@28.. anyone know what year it may be. im guessing early 70's????

I checked over lamination and there does not seem to be any seperating. My buddy is certain that this bow has not been strung in atleast 30 years.

I bought a 60" string for it and put a bow stringer on it last night. I did not get it strung. Im a little scared to be honest with it being old but felt like I needed much more pressure to string it then my sable. What should I do here????
 just quit being a sissy? LOL

Thanks
