Odd looking Kodiak Mag

[Mike Shaw]

Ever seen such an odd looking late 70's mag? must have ran out of forest green glass that day.Looks like the old grey glass from the early 60's.

1977 had that wood with random dark glass. 1976 had that wood with Forest green glass. guessing 77, nice find.

You can look at the old bear catalogs and see a year where to riser wood was listed as a particular wood, and then find bows from that year with various riser woods.  I think they used the standard material and color for that year but if they ran out they would not stop production if a substitute material is available.  Thes become more collectable.  The oddballs.

Ask Rich Lopez about the 1966 Kodiak with red phenolic riser and rosewood caps.  Looks like a '68 Super Kodiak but red.  Only one made.  What would you say that sucker is worth.  I saw it on *bay several years ago for sale by the original owner and how he came by it.  It went for bigger bucks than I was willing to pay.  It had an "X" in the serial number - "Experimental"

I checked the 77 catalog and it does say random glass.All I know is it turns a lot of heads when people see in line with all my other greenies.

 Thanks Guys
