I only own one Bear. A 67’ Kodiak Hunter gifted to me by my uncle in 2016. Used it that same year to take a dandy 6.5yr old buck.

Are there professionals who refinish old Bear bows (or other vintage bows) and if so how does it effect the value (assuming the original decals and inscriptions are preserved?

Kodiak Magnum 1971 or 72 model not sure just yet

Not a real old one but a rare finish one. My 1999 Bear Grizzly. 1999 was the only year Bear Archery made the Grizzly with the factory advantage camouflage. Plus it also has the Fred Bear bust ( Freddy Kruger ) coin that were on Bear bows from 1998 to 2003.

I lik em. I've had quite a few over the years. Some I really liked and would have no issues hunting with. I've reduced my collection to 69 grizz, 60 kodiak and a 70s tiger cat for bow fishing. My wife has a 55 kodiak special.

This year I hunted exclusively with the 60 kodiak. Boy I like that bow.

I saw the big buck in the photo from the first page after it was mentioned. Funny pic.

I have more pics but my new phone takes too large photos and I have them resized as small as I can figure out. Still too big

Almost forgot one. Vintage K4 hanging over the fireplace.

Petrichor · « **Reply #97 on:** December 22, 2019, 02:48:40 PM »

Wow some real beauties here.

Acquired my 43lb '61 bubinga risered Kodiak just for hunting when I came back to traditional some years back. It has the usual stress cracks but they were sealed well by a Bear collector. The riser has such fine interesting grain, it rivals any of my '62 Bears I've owned and is flat out good looking. Liked that it had the four arrow Bear screw-on quiver of its time and remembered how much I like the same quiver on my '62 K Mag I bought new when young. One fine bow.
