'66 Kodiak

[Sean B]

I just aquired a '66 Kodiak 55# @ 28". I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, but a very respected tradganger and Bear collector Is in possession of it.  He said its in exceptional condition. I'm excited about it!! It's the 50th anniversary of this bow, so I may just hunt sll year with it, including a Quebec bear hunt.

Congratulations. Somebody else recently scored a sweetheart deal on a 60-pounder. I had to tie my wrists behind my back to prevent acquisition of another bow.

My '66 K-Mag is one of my favorites to shoot. Looking forward to hearing more about your new bow.

I picked a kodiak up a few weeks back it's in great shape and full of sixes 1966 60" 66# my devil bear!!!! I haven't shot it yet. I put a ff string off a newer bow on it and have just drawn it back kinda working out with it . Just starting to twist my own strings up there getting better, made a few for some older 45 lb bear's want to make sure I twist a good one for this higher lb bow don't want to shoot it with one of my ugly strings.looking to use it this hunting season also!!!!!

I love'em. This is actually my third '66. I had a 60" 45# and a 64" 50#. I've had a few bears over the years. This is my first in 55#.

Yessir!  I have a '65 Kodiak Special in similar condition.  I believe that your bow is original. Some of them had very little use and were stored away in a dark closet for the past fifty years.  Good find!

I picked one up last year, hunted with it, shot one doe, its a great bow.  It outshoots alot of customs I have shot, stable accurate consistency.  Yours is in much better shape than mine.  They are worth much more as a hunting bow than they sell for.
