Alaskan Moose with 68 Super Kodiak

[recurve_shooter]

Great post!  Thanks for sharing.  A magnificent animal and a beautiful area.  That's a lot of meat!

I love the old Bears and a 67-69 LH Super K is on my wish list.  I missed out on a 68# '68 on the big auction site last year, and have been kicking myself over it ever since.

Your post here isn't helping any.

Congrats what a accomplishment to take a so nice bull with an old SK.
I have a 67-68 and a 71. I regret of having sold 2 68 and a 70.

I'll agree that the '68 SK was, or maybe is, the nicest looking bow ever made.   Thanks for sharing the pics too, outstanding story.

Congrats on a great hunt. You have fulfilled a dream of mine. I have been coming up there once or twice a year since 2000. Thank you for sharing, and to let you know, I have seen wild turkey up there. So hope they are allowed to populate. I have seen them in Girdwood, in fact one was hit infront of my brothers shop and he called to ask how to clean it. Then down on the peninsula near Nikiski. I am hoping to be back up in the Brooks Range this September and will have my bow with me also. Just hope to have a oppertunity to use it.
Thank you again.

nice trip, I would love to get up on some of those rivers.
Chuck the turkeys here are not considered wild but you are right there are a few around, ive poked two in the last few years. the only rule with them is shoot on sight

During this hunt and a previous years hunt I totally trashed this bow so I sanded it all down and started over. I had some issues with Helmsman spar varnish not sticking to the rose wood in one particular spot and got frustrated with it. So I let it sit for a few months and then ended up sending it to Jim Neaves from Centaur archery and he stippled the grip and coated it with his two part epoxy flat finish and now its completely sealed and looks like a mean hunting weapon. Still a beautiful bow.

Here is another shot of the 68 Super K. I am still working on the 1982 B-handle Take down, its going to look really nice when I get it done. Waltham compass will replace the cheesy plastic medallion. The shelf has already been lowered and a nice radius put on it.

This pic shows the lowered shelf with a nice radius added. Very sweet shooter.

Green striper almost done ... what a sweet shooting bow.

Highlife, you are really doing the Super K and green striper justice.  Excellent work.  Thanks

Sooo much fun redoing the older Bears and restoring them as the effective tools they are and were built to be.

[highlife]

Finally finished this beautiful bow ... what a shooter!
