Just bought my Bear Grizzly 55lbs a few weeks ago plans to add a montana, kodiak mag, and hopefully a ausable as well.

I'm a fan.

I started out this season with a 50# grizzly. It shoots pretty well but it's a early 2000s Gainesville model, so it's not much to look at.

[Mike Manassa]

1972 Super Kodiak, 45#@28..Super quiet and Super smooth.

Oh,Well... My son Tyler & I have,

I honestly & Truly LOVE the Old Bears!!!!! However, I do honestly believe the new Bear bows, are as good as the old ones!!!!!            

[tomsm44]

Not my only bow, but I do have a '66 Kodiak, 55@28.  I also have a 35@28 Black Bear that my son shoots and an old Ranger club bow that I'm refinishing for my son.  It's not marked with a weight but feels like 20-25#.  Here's my Kodiak.

Last time I posted (2012) before my post just above I had three. I've sold the Gainsville bow and added several more. Progress is good.

It's no longer my main bow, but got my first trad deer with a 1967 grayling-built Kodiak Magnum.  Since it's the same year model as me, and lucky to boot, we'll be hanging on to this one.  If I find an equal-condition one in the mid 50# range, it might become my go to.

2005 (I think), Bear Super Kodiak. 50@28

[Longtoke]

Learned to shoot on an old bear I found, recently upgraded to a bear grizzly, and now I have my sights set on a bear Montana.

Sitting in a tree with one right now

 

[Mike Gerardi]

I have just one. A 1956 (with the help of blackhawk)
Kodak Special 64 in and 55@28. Best 100.00 I have ever spent.

[bisket]

I have a 74 Super Kodiak with the fascor and it is a real sweet shooter.  I also have a 62 kodiak magnum but I don't shoot it as much.  Only recurves I own otherwise it is Longbows for me.

[mangonboat]

I've owned, traded, bought ,sold or gave away 10 different Bears over the past year, every one of 'em saw plenty of country while in my care and every one was a nice shooter in its own way. Just one on the rack right now, my dad's 1971 K Mag.
