New to me 55 Kodiak
« on: March 07, 2017, 02:02:00 PM »
I found a 1955 Kodiak today at a second hand store. It's 64" 40# and looks very nice.  I'm hoping to shoot it tonight.  It is missing the Kodiak decal and I was wondering if anyone is making them?  

Thanks,  T4

Very good shooting bow.  At 40# it was real easy to shoot, made it a lot of fun.

The Footed Shaft just got in a few Kodiaks from the 1950's. Someone selling a collection maybe.

This one had been sitting in my local second hand store for 2 years.  i hadn't noticed it until last Tuesday.  They dropped the price way to low and it followed me home.  Great shooter.

I added an old Kwikee Kwiver and some turkeys I had.  I think she's looking even better.
