The bow wants to take her place among her siblings.

Phil

Good things are worth waiting for.

I'm confident that the prototype has found the home it was meant for.

You made the right decision to have Bowdoc refinish it.

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

Great thread!  I just read the whole thing from start to finish, and feel like I have just taken an advanced level course on Bear history!

What a piece of history and what a gem this bow turned out to be!

Was going to start a new thread but thought this would be better suited here.Recently picked up this nice '65 Kodiak.Very nice condition except for two small holes on the coin side most likely from a quiver.Would like to possibly have them filled if someone thought they could do a nice job on them.Bow is a little light in weight too at only 38# but would still make a nice practice bow.Looks similar to one of the bows shown by Papalapin on page 1 of this thread.Oh how I despise holes in bows.Plus it's got a + stamped above the serial number.Will probably just get rid of this one or trade it for one without the holes and crosses.  :bigsmyl:

I received a call from Bowdoc's wife yesterday.
The bow is on it's way home and Don is working hard on getting caught up and bows finished.
I asked her if she was feeling better and she told me she is slowly coming along.

Our prayers are with you Don and Linda and thank you.

With news of the bow coming home, I wanted to revisit the amazing story and images of this once cleverly hidden gem.
This is the photo history of this 1966 Kodiak.

Born in 1966 pulling 57#.

Here she is when found by Tom Troy. I spoke with Tom several times and he told me he was simply looking for a vintage-bear Kodiak that he could hunt with. This basic camo Kodiak fit the bill.......
 

More to follow........Philip

Then Tom removed a little camo paint and took notice of a black base beneath the paint.
