Joe -

You did a great job of refinishing that 59 Kodiak!

After seeing how beautiful that sight window turned out, I almost wish I would have sent you a different bow...

I'll wait until Compton to buy most of my tickets to see how much money I have left that night.

I never know how much money I will need before then to give to Norm for another 59 Kodiak...

Thanks!

Probably the most impressive (that is available) set of 59 Bear items I'll ever see.

While shadowed by the 59 items in most of you collector's items, that is truly a dream come true to a true traditional bowhunter like me that wasn't smart enough to start hoarding things back decades past.

Somewhere,  someone has a super nice framed photo of Fred with a 59........that belongs with these and placed top dead center in the display.

Just 2 cents.

An awesome trubute to the man we owe so much. Ever wonder? Where would we be and what would we be interested in if NOT for Fred?

Wade, I don't say much but, hot dang. It gives me goose bumps just THINKING of standing in your collection. My heavens.

My hat is off to ALL you guys whom have dedicated so much time and money into Fred's memory through his work and my thanks for sharing photos too.

If I had not seen all the "hoo-rah" about the 59 Ks here for these past years....I'd never have traded/bought/sold and otherwise bent the budget to get one.

Nothing brown and down with it yet but still and all.....my thanks to all of you, regardless.

I owe ya all one.   :notworthy:  

Shoot, Id buy raffle tickets for "JUST" the knife and file set!!!!!    :pray:  

Rain or no rain, Compton here I come. I've got to see this in person.

God Bless.

Joe - Can you post of close up photograph of just the sight window portion of the 1959 Kodiak that you refinished.

I'm sure lots of guys including myself would like to see more detail of that beautiful sight window.

I have the raffle tickets in my hands, and envelopes are addressed to all of you that requested some - they will be in the mail tomorrow.

We have a special offer for anyone who purchases Dream Raffle tickets through Trad Gang.  Johnnyrazorhead has offered up the Fred Bear picture below as a bonus prize.  Anyone who purchases tickets through Trad Gang will have their name thrown in the hat for a chance to win the picture below.  

All you need to do is send me an email or a PM with your regular mail address.  I will mail out as many tickets as you request, and when you return the stubs along with your payment I will put your name in the hat for the picture.  So there are two ways to win for Trad Ganger's!
