With a 1957 Bear Kodiak Special. Serial # RXV113 43# 66 inch bow. Also included was some oringinal paper work. The Bear bow new owner's record stating the bow was first bought on 6-1-57 for a price of $65.00 in Canton Ohio but the dealers name was not filled in. When Daryl called asking if I was instered I asked him what kind of condition it was in and he told me it was in very good shape. I think it is in better than good shape it looks almost new.  THANK'S DARYL she's a beauty. sorry guy's haven't learned to do pic's yet

Glad you like it Doug.  It's always good to set reasonable expectations.  The surprise is always a positive one that way.

Like I said, if it were a righty, I'd be very pleased.  

Have you shot it?

Haven't shot it yet Daryl I am thinking I should probaly get a new string first. But it sure is a sweet bow way nicer than I thought it would be

thank's again
Doug

I'm loving my 57 kodiak as well.They such smooth shooters.That 66" must be real smooth drawing.

Those specials are very good shooting bows...bowdoc

Congrats Doug!!! I have one just like it only 52#, all I can say is WOW what a shooter!!!!!!!!!! Quietest shooting bow I have not heard   :D   and fast for a vintage bow. Matter of a fact my Adcock 1PC and Habu are jealous of it.  

Here's Doug's beauty! Originally sold about 15 minutes from where I live.
