I just wanted to say hi to all on this board, looks like this is where all the collectors hang out! I am the webmaster of "The Archery Collector" website, maybe some of you have been there, if not, I would like to invite everyone to visit. It has lots of good articles and information.

There is so much to learn about our hobby, This board seems like a good place for that and possibly, I can contribute too.

Talk to all soon.

A great big HELLO Tim! Good to see you here. I have been to your site many, many times. Lots of interesting stuff. I sure hope the some of the other folks here will drop by your site. Now that you are here perhaps you will be able to field some of these questions that pop up?
     

Hi MArk;
The bow Fred has is a Bear Kodiak MAgnesium TD, "A" riser, more than likley with #1 limbs which will make it 56" long. They were made from 1970 to 1978 when Bear was at Grayling. Post a "want" on the classified forum and see what happens. They are also on ebay a lot. They are the most consitent shooting bow I have. Not fast though.  

Welcome Tim
