I have been pondering the question of which bow is my favorite for two weeks now, and have come to the conclusion that my bows are like my grandchildren, I really do not have a favorite. But I can say that I catch myself gazing at the rack that holds the 1959 through 1962 Kodiaks, Kodiak Specials, and Kodiak Deluxes the most. The 62 KS with the lively glass color and deep brown rosewood really grabs the eye. And to think, at one time I could not understand what Fred was thinking when he chose that color.
