Bear bringing back the '59 Kodiak
« on: October 05, 2012, 03:13:00 PM »
Hi Folks,
I haven't posted here in ages but do drop by and lurk every now and then. I was just made aware that Bear is bringing back the '59 Kodiak. Sorry if this is old news and has been posted before. Just thought a lot of folks here would be interested if it hasn't.

Safe shooting and good hunting!

Wow that is very cool.  I wonder if they are going to offer it in 64" if the 60" sells well

Sweet, sweet looking bow. I may have to give one a try. I'll be tuned in for a product report!

Craig, I see you work for Bear.   I hope it's an interesting job.

I'm curious about a couple of things.   What is your job with Bear and do you get the "employee" discount on bows like this?

Old news or not it's the first 've heard of it and looks like I just might be getting another new bow in 2013.  

A 45# would put it a little over 50# at my 30" so me thinks a 45@28.

That sure is sharp. Wish they made it without the white glass on the back of the riser!

Hey fellas, I have a bunch of the 59's ( and some of the TD's too) on order and should be high on the list to receive them. If you would like to get one of those, give us a call and put in a small deposit.

thanks, bigjim
