Lucky #7 - arrived
« on: January 31, 2009, 08:56:00 PM »
Just picked up this 1959 64" 42# Kodiak on the auction 140297065142   

My favorite feature is the serial number three sevens - jackpot!!! Will post pics and impressions when it arrives.

I was trying to work, but UPS interrupted. Time to head out to the shop and see if this thing shoots half as good as it looks. Back in a bit with a report.

OK, I figured out how to start collecting, but after shooting this 64" I am confused about how to stop. Doubt if I'll get much support for quitting on this forum. May have to go to the noon 12 step meeting.

quick question for you guys. Do you see a shooting difference with the camo sleaves on the limbs vs naked?

Wow thats a beauty!!

If you go to the noon meeting,it just means you'll get sniped by the guy with the laptop in the back.
If you do go, say hello to everyone for me.

I love the camo sleeves, but they have to affect performance some.  Not crazy about wet cotton clinging to a 50 year old bow either.  I used some last season on Doc's old 60K

Nice looking bow Shaun.  You better get it on the Birthday thread so you can receive your rest.

I wasnt even in the running Jim.

Let me refraze that a little..If said camo sleaves slip under you string which they like to do while shooting a few.That sleave can unstring your bow sometimes when you may really not want them too...bd
