It's hard to beat a 1960 Kodiak...

Good heavens, Alaska. You have an amazing collection of classic Bear recurves. Well done!

Limited experience with the early to mid sixties classics or anything earlier but the Kodiak Hunter is my pick.

My favourites begin and end with my 1960 Kodiaks...only since I sold my 1964 Kodiak of course

Alaskanbowhunter, they are all beauties!! I really have never got into the Bear bows but if someone had a 64 Kodiak I would love to own one. That was the year I was born and want to kill a deer with one from my birth year! Shawn

I am getting old, in '64 I was in 4th grade!

I would love to see some pictures of a '60 Kodiak Deluxe with Crystalite Bearglas. I can't say I have ever seen one.

Gil, go to history and collecting. I recently posted about one I got last week I believe. Pictures are there. Shane

Here you go Gil

Shane I checked out the pictures very nice. I wish Fred did that on the Kodiaks too.

Thanks Chuck for your pictures too.

Was there a problem with the Crystalite Bearglas when it came out? I am surprised they didn't do that on more bows.

Thanks again
Gil

No, I had a typo, its a 60. Post edited to show. I still love it, now that its "older" I like it more lol.

Here it is, Its had a lot of mileage and still running strong. Gosh i like this bow.

I'm a 67-69 Super Kodiak guy.

My favorite Bear was this '67 Grizzly I took my first deer with in '69. I don't own it anymore though.

My favorite Bear now is a '62 Kodiak, warts and all. The finish is crazed and flaked off the handle in an early season snow storm and the patch refinish job is dark but what the heck, it's just an old bow.

I am going to mention my favorite Bear bow just because no one else ever does. My favorite is the Bear supermag !

I only have a 26 inch drawlength so the supermag is perfect for me, very short maneuverable bow for brush hunting. Now you guys with the 28 & 29 inch drawlengths might not care for them but that just means less competition for me when I'm out buying them !

Here is my 1968 & a pair of 1970 supermags.

david janssen · « **Reply #55 on:** March 16, 2014, 10:19:00 AM »

66 Kodiak for me.

Cyclic-Rivers · « **Reply #56 on:** March 16, 2014, 10:34:00 AM »

Hey David, Thanks for digging this up!

Nice bow you have

1- Bear take down
2- 1960 Kodiak
3- The new 59 Kodiak reintroduction

My preference

It's hard to beat a '69 Super Kodiak!

I like the 1962 Kodiak, and the 1961, 62 and 68 Kodiak Special. 61 probably the best.
