Heavy Weights?
« on: April 02, 2009, 09:37:00 PM »
I don't mean personal heavy weights or I would have to count myself. How many own bows over 90#'s and can you draw them?

Joe -

I have a 1954 Kodiak 100# & a 1957 Kodiak 100#, both RH.

Yes, I can draw them, but not very well.

Just a few minutes ago, I drew this one shown below, but not certain which one it is...

As I stated earlier, I do not draw very well...

     

Seriously, I have never strung either of them. They mean too much to me as collectibles to to risk stringing them for some foolish stunt that will probably only result in me dislocating a shoulder or worse.

I have enough shootable bows under 90# that I can shoot.

100# @ 27", 68" 1954 Kodiak and 100# 64" 1957 Kodiak (little brother to Bill Negley's 102# 1957 Kodiak, The Elephant Bow)

Wade- you draw 100#'s nicely. My fingers ache just thinking about drawing a 100# bow.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

newell38 - You might want to hold out for something better than a 107# Bear T/D for your only extra kidney. I am assuming you are taking about giving one of your kidneys, not a kidney from someone else?

You could probably pick my kidneys, as well as other body parts, up off of the ground if I tried hard enough to actually accomplish that feat.  

Can you find wood arrows spined that heavy?  Of course you could probably get by with 3/8" rebar in a pinch.

newell38 - Have any 100# Kodiaks for sale?

I have a peculiar collector's obsession for the 100# Bears.  

All collectors are crazy...
