1961 Kodiak Mag; my dead father's old bow.

Hard to tell at this point, but I would like to have a special bow to pass on to my son someday!

The bow that takes my first trad   will be the one I will hang on to.     :bigsmyl:

Now this is like eating Lays Potato Chips.  Ya just cain't stop at one.

I got several that I will not let go of.

Right now I have over 80 and it would be a lot easier if you asked which one I would be willing to let go.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

My new Custom Kodiak T/D Supreme. If looks could kill, I wouldn't even have to shoot it... but I do, and it shoots even BETTER than it looks!  :notworthy:

Say what ya want about the new Bear's, I think Fred would like this one!

2. My new Dale Dye Cocobolo/Bocote

3. My Dale Dye Snakewood

My RER LXR, it was donated to my bunny hunt by RERBOWS and I was lucky enough to win it. The hunt is named in memory of my Mom(Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt)so the bow has a special meaning to me. It is inscribed "Bunny Bow"!! Shawn

late 1940's Bear Deerslayer signed by Grumley, never been shot (so I was told) , all original pristine condition, great bow.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.

TRAP

I'm still searching for it.    :bigsmyl:

There are several I won't be letting go of; first among them is the stunning '59 Polar I was given by a friend.

Sounds like that Supreme is working out well for you Ron?!  :D

You bet, Jeremy...

I'm "Supremely" confident that any "backstraps" that step in front of me will soon be wearing freezer wrap!      :thumbsup:    

(BTW..Did I tell you about the "strangely coincidental" thing about this bow? I met Fred Bear just over 30 years ago back in 1978...and had wanted a T/D like his pretty much ever since then, but for whatever reason and after dozens of bows, I never owned one.

I had JUST received the bow I traded you for the Supreme only a week or so before I saw yours available. I FINALLY had my Bear T/D and now I was already trading it away for another one?? And, amazingly enough, this one is the "Supreme" Kodiak T/D- (which I never would have bought) and is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime bow!! Wow!

But the real kicker is, after I got the bow, I notice the serial number on the Supreme just happens to be....078!!)

Hmmmmm??     :notworthy:

The bow I'm most attached to is my 1969 styleI B riser Bear takedown. I only keep and shoot bows I really love and all have been altered or modified almost to the point that selling them is out of the question but this is the last bow I'd part with.                         Grant
