Just bought a 69 Kodiak hunter haven't received it yet. looks to be in great shape. What is it worth? I know thats a wide open question, just curious...
Hard to say without pics.
From the ones i see on here for sale, they go between $185 and $250.The ways things are nowdays, i expect most are bringing on the low side.There have been a lot of very nice bears for sale here over the last year,some i know had to be very hard to let go of and worse when they are not bringing as much as they were 5 years ago.Kodiak hunters are not sought after by collectors like a reguler kodiak so dont bring nearly as much money but they are great bows and a bargain as a shooter, plus they have very nice wood and good lookers too.
I paid $150.00 for my "69 hunter on this site a year ago. Its a nice bow, 50# @ 28 but feels a little heavier.
Search **** "completed auctions" it is as good as anything else for establishing values.
thanks I know value is all relative. I gave what I wanted to for it. I wanted it "just because" not to try and make money...
Tunames, how do you like the way it shoots? I shot mine a good bit this morning.I love it, smooth,and fits my hand so nice!Most of them have nice wood too.
Haven't even received it yet!
'WON" it off that auction site. waiting for it to get here...I'll let you know... :) :archer2:
"Just bought it" and "what's it worth" in the same sentence.
Am I missing something? I'm really not trying to be sarcastic but to answer your question, it's worth what you paid and not a penny more or less at the time the auction closed.
It's a good time to be a buyer if you're looking for vintage bows to shoot, appreciate, hunt with or just have lying around. Bows are cheap right now compared to what they were just a few years ago. Hard to say where they will be a few years in the future.
I'm the caretaker of 10-12 very nice Bear Kodiaks that I have hanging around here that I shoot often and enjoy thoroughly. Every year I watch their market value decrease but I could care less. Not planning on selling them anyway.
I have a 62 Kodiak that I probably could have sold for $650.00 to $800.00, if I had sold it in 2012 when the bow was 50 years old. It might bring half of that now. No regrets, I still like shooting it and enjoy dusting it off occasionally.

Got the bow looks real nice! I believe it's a Shedua riser with green glass and white tips. What is a good brace height to start with? A 57" string (60' amo) only puts it about 6 3/4 I've brought it up to 7 1/4 but I'll need to go with a shorter string. The string on it was only 50" I don't think it went to that bow. I've never seen one like it either, the end loops look like paracord.
Thanks
I like a brace on my '68 KH around 8.5", and buy 56" strings for this 60" bow.
