Congrats Danny!

Looks like an early one as well with the purple heart window.

I've been looking for one as well.....to no avail!  My time will come........there's one out there with my name on it.

Have fun shooting your newest find.......hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for all the information guys and the kudos. I cannot wait to shoot her and yes, Felix, I will be hunting with her, gonna be shooting some Sweetlands out of her with Bear heads from the 60s and will be toting the arrows in a Jerry Hill back quiver.

bowdoc, I did not know that the purple heart window was rare in a 60. Learn something new every day. Believe me I was overjoyed to get it, especially at draw weight and the price I got it for.

I know how you feel Danny. I just scored my first 59 Kodiak 60" 46#er. It's not as pretty as yours but shoots great.Scott

Got the bow today and my heart almost stopped when I picked it up, the lower limb tip was punched through the box. Thankfully it does not appear to be damaged, only a couple of scuffs. The guy did not pack it well at all. Why do people ship fine bows like this, I always completel wrap any bow I ship totally in buble wrap, this one had a couple of bubble wrap baggies thrown over each tip and that was it! Not even taped on.  This could have been a disaster, guess the good lord was watching it for me.
