riser length of '62 Kodiak?

[Holm-Made]

I read somewhere that Bear used the same form for the '61 and the '62 Kodiak.  He just lengthen the riser on the '62.  The riser looks really long on the '62.  Can anyone tell me the riser length of both bows and comment on how each shoots?  Thanks, Chad

My '62 is 26" from tip of the fade to tip of the fade in a straight line.  Sorry I dont have a "61 for comparison but the '62 shoots great.

Got a 61 and 62 hanging side by side.. I get 27 1/4 on both of them.
They both shoot just great, as smooth and fast as any other bow I have shot.

So it sounds like the riser length of both years is pretty much the same.  

Another question about older Bears from this era.  Did he use any tapers in the limbs or just parallel lams?  Chad

Tapers about .002 per inch as I recall......bowdoc
