New Bear Kodiac
« on: April 30, 2013, 09:34:00 PM »
I finally received my new Bear Kodiac 59er today.
It is fantastic looking and shoots great, 60in and 45lbs. I had been waiting since before Christmas for it. Couldn't be happier!!!!

Congrats!  Boy this is going to be a long wait!  I only put my order in 3 weeks ago!  Your going to have to post pics for those of us who have 3+ months to go.  Thinking about switching hands, 3rivers has lefties in stock.

Got mine just before our Moses Lake Rock Shoot...and am very impressed with everything except the tacky leather grip that could have been done much better.  

Bolivian Rosewood riser looks great as does the glass which has yet to show any stress.  Also, I didn't even put a nick or scratch on it after 3 days of roaming the rocks and shooting.

Shot one at Comptons event in Blue Springs Mo this year.  In my opinion, it is the best bow they have made in quite some time.  Enjoy.

Got mine from Big Jim only waited about 9 weeks. I like the leather grip I heard some complaints about it but I like it. Love the way it shoots.

I shot one that Big Jim had at the NCTAC shoot. Really liked it.

Thanks Bjorn, but that didn't help a bit!!   :banghead:    :banghead:    Emailed 3 rivers yesterday, they said Bear just trickles in a couple here and there, and that they're pretty backed up on orders.

Outstanding the people at Bear can be proud of the job they are doing. Might be why they are hard to come by ...... :)

I have zero complaints about the fit and finish. They could have chosen better for the leather wrap IMO.

I have now shot mine a bunch and it shoots right where you look, smooth, quiet even with no string silencers. Finish is awesome, very impressed. Bear really got it right.

Good luck with it, same specs as mine.  Got it in February from Big Jims and cannot stop shooting it.
