I have a few questions about a Bear Super Kodiak, 64", made in 1966 which is currently offered in a German archery shop:  http://www.alpenpfeilchen.de/bearrecurve4049.htm
(scroll a little bit down for looking)

Is here anybody in the forum who uses such a bow for regular shooting?

How many of them were made in a different length than 60"?

Is the bow with 64" really such a rarity?

I have no access to the Bear catalog CD, so when were they offered or was it a standard offering with 64"?

Another question about BEAR bow quivers for mounting on bows with no bushing installed:

Were there different sices to match bows with different lengths?

If yes, what range of bow length could match a certain model of bow quiver?

Thank you very much in anticipation.

Thank you, Don!

But the black one pictured above the Kodiak, is this a true Super Kodiak?

Sorry about that,the pics did not all load.I actually just checked again and there were several I did not see..But yes that is a 1967 Super Kodiak or actually they are really 1967 1/2.As they came out after the first part of 1967.nice looking bows.....bowdoc

I just double checked and he does have that 1966 Kodiak listed as a 1966 Super Kodiak...I saw your post also asked on 1966,sorry about the confusion...bowdoc

WoW, if those prices are in Euros thats quite a bit of money for those bows, they sure are prety though.  God bless the USA. Tim

Tim, my thoughts exactly.  Nearly $400 for a '57-58 Polar??!!    :scared:  I'd be tempted to sell mine for that!  :D

Yeah, now that the dollar is the new peso, the old Bears will all wind up in Germany. Somebody paid a mint for a 70s kodiak hunter recently.

Yeah

I have been buying bows in the US with the British Pound and they are seeming like very good deals indeed...
