Jack, I say we mob the arrow factory first, The Bear Factory will take a lot of arrows.      :readit:    

Even if we did get them back to MI, they would never be the same.... They would be rittled with arrow holes    :laughing:    

Nice bows Gene. I love the wood grain on your '64 Kodiak.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Here is one of my Bear A-mad TD bows with a classic Bear 4-arrow spring-arm quiver. This is a very sweet bow.

I cut my teeth on Bear bows and have owned a bunch over the years. Just picked up a really clean early 70's 52" Kodiak Magnum 45 lber, waiting for it to come in the Big Brown Truck. I love my 66" Omega longbow but it's a tad tall to shoot from a groundblind!

I took this young girl to celebrate her birthday at the elder Italian Roving started in 1962.
We had fun and she shot flawless.

Bear Montana longbow here; have alwys loved Bear bows; if I ever start shooting recurves, it will be a Bear; does anyone one know where to buy the 145 grain "green machine" Bear razorheads? my stock of them is extremely low; any help is greatly appreciated.

As for a Bear only hunt, our archery season here in Arkansas runs all the way through Feb 28th, starts on September 15th, no breaks; one can buy a 3 or 7 day trip license and the deer and hogs are PLENTIFUL down south Ark and after Jan 1 the woods are empty; millions of public acres with great campsites; would love to organize a hunt for S. Arkansas with all the Bear bowhunters; 6 deer limit and no limits on hogs; AGFC is begging hunters to help kill hogs; hog numbers are exploting with no end in sight; almost guaranteed kill on hogs even on public ground; it would be a great hunt and the cost is very manageable; let me know if you are interested.

Got two Kodiak Magnums, a 1970 Grizzly, a 1958 or 59 Polar, a 58 or 59 Cub, a Super Mag 48, a Kodiak Hunter and the sweetest shooter of all of em is the 1970 Super Kodiak which is 58 pounds. Love that bow. I don't hunt em nearly enough. Got a bunch of other bows, too but those are the Bears. May have to start thinnin em someday soon.

Love my early 70s Kodiak Hunter.  Shoots smooth and quiet.  Made quite a bit of meat with it.  I really like the sleek, "non-bulky" look.  I understand big, weighty risers helping folks to shoot better, but I really like the slick lines on my Hunter and seem to shoot it plenty well enough.

I recently added another K Mag and my first Grizzly to the mix. Both are 45's.
The Arkansas hunt sounds good. Or Ray's, what we need is somebody to step forward and ramrod the event.
Any volunteers?

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Well I'm on a Bear Roll, just traded for a 1965-66 Tamerlane to keep that '71 Kodiak Magnum company on the rack. I'm keeping Big Brown busy....
