Been bit by the Bear collecting bug again.
« on: September 01, 2010, 07:03:00 PM »
I went a little nuts this last week buying some bows. Most were old Bear bows. The first one arrived today. It is a '62 Kodiak Magnum 52" and 55# @ 28".

You have to see the Brazillian rosewood on this. I was out shooting my 780 grain arrows off of it and it really spit an arrow pretty fast. I can't wait for the rest to get here. I bought the bow from Tim Breter (Red Boar). He is a great guy to do a deal with.

I had to share this Brazillian rosewood. What a bow. Fred really knew how to build them in the 60s.

If that bow were four pounds lighter, you would never have known of its existence (until I killed something with it.) Tim had a beauty, and will be kicking himself if he ever gets half-smart!

Oh... hi Tim!   :wavey:    :goldtooth:

My favorite concert guitar is Brazilian rosewood.  I never get tired of looking at it, makes me think I need a Brazilian bow to go with it.  Anyone making bows with it today?  Or would I have to supply it myself I know someone that has a bunch of it that is not quite the right grain for concert guitars.

Thanks for the comments.

I rarely put a bow up but I had to share that Rosewood. I like the riser on this '62 a lot. I think I am going to have to find a '62 Kodiak to go with it.
