I'll be using my 1972 kodiak mag for my bear hunt next week.  Shot a couple of critters with it already.

Well, I was born in 59 and a lefty so I had to have a LH 59 Kodiak.  I love the looks, history and all, but I don't shoot it worth a darn.  I am going to sell it.  I have to shoot what I shoot well.

Stickbow98 - "Oh yeah, '59 Kodiak... Still sees it's share of action every Fall."

Congrats, nice bow... Was born in 1959 also and would luv to own a '59 Kodiak or '59 Grizzly, which I hope to run across someday...

Question though, was that Bear quiver of the same time period?... Thanks

I have a 1955 dual shelf Grizzly Static tip I occasionally shoot.  Kinda cool shooting a 60 year old bow.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

I guess a 59 Bear Kodiak would be in order
