 Bear Kodiak Special

 White Glass  Built -in sight with brush rest

 Red Wing Hunter
 58" 45 lb.  ser.# RA14213

The Kodiak Special is probably era 1964 to 1967 value is what someone is willing to pay depending on condition. anywhere from 150.00 to 350.00 depending on the year and condition. Pics always help to identify the exact year. The wing I will leave up to the Wing experts out there. I have sold alot of them and the 52 inchers seem to be more desireable. The woodwork of the riser and condition mean alot on these.

The kodiak special is not a '65 or later.  If so the first digit of the SN would be the year in the '60's.   Probably a '64, or possibly a '63. I don't remember off hand when they started with the plates and brush built in brush rests.

Good PICs needed to tel what year it is.

Thank's Guys, does anyone know the correct brace for the Wing? Mike

That bow has a relatively high brace height, at leas visually since it is a short bow.

I would say about 8 to 8-1/2".  If he just orders an AMO 58" bow string it should come out right, assuming it is a 58" model and not the later 52" model.  In any case, just get the AMO string for the stated length.
