Newer Super Kodiaks vs the Older Models

[akalhunt]

I am beginning to look for a Super Kodiak, but I wonder about the performace of the newer models in compared to the older (Grayling) models.  What is your opinions?
Thanks

i just bought a new grizzly and i was disappionted i bought a new one because i thought it would be more reliable but it was very poor quality compared to a vintage grayling bow  if it was me i would buy two vintage bows for the price of the new one

Old ones have Mojo, new ones can use FF.

I have five of the old ones and love them.   I've lookd at the new ones, and I just don't think the finish is as good.  I can't speak to shooting them, but I am finding that most new bows are tillered for an early rise in the power curve, presumably in the pursuit of the speed everyone is looking for today.  I'm older and worry more about smoothness, and I haven't found any bows as consistently smooth as these old Super Kodiaks.  I bought one, a 45#, that was pretty rough, turned it over to Bowdoc and got back a real beauty.  It cost me as much as a new one, but I'm really happy with it....

You can really hear the new ones, and it ain't just the string type.
