Heard about this, but have yet to see pic's, or hear details. Nothing on their website. Just a rumor ?

Not a rumor that it exists but rumor has it that a lot of them may get gobbled up by dealers.

Didn't they auction one of these off at Compton (or Cloverdale)?  Anyone know what it brought?

African Bubinga riser and waterfall limb veneers. Maple core. Limited to 250 for each model. If you get one this year, you have first option on next year's model of the same serial number. Subsequent models are believed to be the Super K, KMag, and the 59er Kodiak.

The medallion will be a scrimshaw coin vs. the brass coin. A compass will be in the stock, ahem,
 riser (don't shoot your eye out).

 

The one auctioned at Compton went for around 4k, I believe. Not sure on that.

Neil Byce III (sp?) is supervising this and calling all the shots.

Available only in 40, 45, 50, and 55#.

Big Jim can help with ordering as can 3Rivers. All Bear dealers are supposed to be able to help with ordering.

WOW what a beauty!  I wish they put that level of attention (or a more modest version of it) into some of the production bows LOL. Man that one there sure is a looker.

We can get them for you at Lost Nation Archery, but only if you call ASAP and if they are not all gone.  They will only be making 250.  Ordering ends 7/14!

The dealor a lot mentioned will be decided after tomorrow.  All dealers have a chance to order what they want. After tomorrow,  Bear will have to scale back the request because they will likely be over sold. Orders can be

Orders can be placed with dealers after this date as well.
The bows are actually macassar risers with waterfall bubinga veneers.
First B risers with #1 limbs.

Then you will have first right to the same serial number the following year if you Chand so on. Second year is A riser and #3 limbs followed by the 59'er and lastly the super Kodiak.
Yes, I will have a bunch. Yes I am taking orders.  Yes I have sold several.

And if I could post pictures I would show you how good the wood looks in it's raw form.
I'm sending another pallet of the sweetest macassar you've ever seen there tomorrow.
