Bear Kodiak replicas

[Alaska Dan]

After reading the post on the Little Delta and browsing Fred Bear's Field Notes, I was wondering who makes the old Kodiak replicas. Anybody have any experience with them? Are they as sweet as they look?

Kodiak Specials are surprisingly long lived-no need for replicas in my mind! I have a bunch that get worked out regularly-they pop up on ebay quite a bit. And like 4nolz said 'they're shooters'.

most of the originals are shooters!  

I'll third that.

Ed Holcomb makes a 57 and a 59 remake. I ordered a 57 remake about 3 years ago from Ed.  It is a sweet shooter, and looks just like the original 57 Bear. I plan on ordering one of his 59 remakes this spring.

Mark, I guess you can call me old school, for I have no digital camera, and have no pics of just the bow. I do have a pic of the bow and the buck I shot with it on photo bucket, and will try and get it on here.

I have a Kodiak Compass replica made by Tim Meigs purchased from Bob @ Whispering Wind. It's a double shelf & is a real sweet shooter. Tim signed it for me I'm trying to learn to shoot left handed it's really fun. Frank

If I can get my son over at my place, I will have him take a picture of my 57 remake, then post it.

Last word is Ed isn't doing anymore Kodiak reproductions and is working on Wing ones now.

Robert, I can't see the bow, to good. But I can see, that buck is a dandy

[bowhawk archer]

Thanks John,
            I see you are from PA, that buck was taken in Ohio in '03.

Here's a Holcomb '57. I tmay end up on the classifieds soon if I can't finance my new bow any other way. I've got a georgeous Holcomb '59 too, but no pics I can locate.
