I found a gentleman who wants to sell, 2, count them 2, Bear Kodiak's, the one I saw in the picture (strung backwards)has black glass it is a 42#,the other is laying down has got green glass, unknown weight... 1.5 hrs away, bummer...but wait, unbelievably right on the way river rafting with the family this weekend, I meet him Friday, they look in very good shape.(I gently asked him if he unstrung them when stored,and Yes, yes they are unstrung)$50.00 for both!!! and he's happy to keep them till Friday.It all sounds like a bad joke,to good to be true, Pray nobody beats me there,no really pray for me, these look very similar to what I learned on in the mid 70's, that are gone to a wildfire.
All I can do is hope,
Kurt

Ok,Ok,pictures coming ,I will tease you all a little more, 1st is a 1968,green glass, green/white phenolic,white tips, 46# 60' Kodiak Hunter in near perfect shape,slightly thinner handle fits like a glove.The 2nd, a 1969 Kodiak Hunter 45# 60' grey glass,black/white phenolic,black tips in good shape with acme quiver and arrows.Both shoot like a dream!! one thing i'm not sure about is the draw length, is there a way of telling what draw by the numbers? Thanks for the interest and the help.
Draw weight was always messured at the "standard" 28" (before people started ordering "custom" bows built to thier personal draw length) Bear always listed thier "draw limit" as "unlimited"
I would not grab one of these old bows and haul it back to 31".....BUT if you work it back slowly,(at first,some of these old bows haven't been drawn in 30-40 years)you should have no problem drawing these old Bears 31" if you need to.
