Hello Guys, I would like to see some pics of some heavyweight bows made by Bear.. I was all ways thinking that really anything over 55 pounds would sell better then the same Bear bow in 45 pounds.. Is it true that heavyweight Bear's sell better then lowweigth bows ?..

Anyways I just would like to see some pics any heavyweight Bear bows...

Thanks Guys,

Cody

lefty 1959 Kodiak, 97#



 

The pics are next to a 48# kodiak by the way.

 

 

Got a nice 1966, 100# Kodiak in LH.  If I can ever figure out to post a pic, I will. Maybe I can email pics to someone that can post them?

Joe,
send em to kyoder4@neo.rr.com.

i have some heavyweight bears...ill take some pics today!  joe, that 62 kodiak you just sold me is mighty sweet!

Jeff do you shoot that 97# Kodiak ?... That is a great looking bow.. Thanks Guys for the info,

Cody

No, I don't shoot it Cody. I doubt if I could. But I would try if I could get it strung. I'm afraid it might break during the stringing process.

This Gaggle of Wedgie 70# to 100# Bears are marked with years and weights.... A couple of TrandGangers helped me out with these... Thanks to Doc for selling me the 1953-1/2 Kodiak on 8Bay (actaully I stole it as I don't think anybody else knew what the heck it was). Thanks to John for selling me the 1961 and trading the 1960 Kodiak Deluxe... I'm always looking to buy or trade for heavy weight Wedgie Kodiaks...

       

Here's a 75# 1959 Bear Kodiak. Superb bow.

Cody- My bows are all over the 60# line but these bows are the real deal when it comes to heavyweights. I'm negotiating now for a 74# 1967 Super Kodiak but that is as heavy as I want to shoot. Maybe as heavy as I can shoot unless just pulling it back and launching an arrow counts, lol. Great looking stuff guys. When men were men, right?  Grant

Bill - boy, that is a nice 64" 75# 1959 Kodiak. I have its 64" 75# younger brother, a 1960 Kodiak. Took a couple of bows with me to Florida during the late 1990s and had Frank Scott sign them. He signed this one in the sight window but signature is pretty light... Frank said it was far more bow than he ever thought of shooting.

 

 

Here's a couple of mine I have left(before Wade gets them!)
One is a 1959 Kodiak,64" and 123#.The other is a beautiful 1960 Kodiak,no coin,64" and 90#.Both wedge sight windows.Wish I knew who the 123# '59 was made for.
 
 
 
 
Last pic shows the limb comparison of the 123# Kodiak to a 35# Kodiak.
 

Very nice bows. Bet there is some interesting stuff written under that leather!  

youre killing me!

hey Johnnyboy once again I know the answer to your quest or question.Not who but whom was the owner of the 123# 1959 Kodiak ???? from the looks of your pic I would say its a lefthander weddie ? yes ? nope it was not Fred's.Fred would have crapped his pants stringing that beast.Glenn's ? not gonna happen.
However I do know a man whom would string it like no tomorrow and snatch her back to 28 and hold it for the 8 second ride.But I would bet you I do know who's or whom's(is whoms a word?) it was...but its gonna cost ya this time.Or better yet post a pic of just that bow and see if anyone knows who or whoms it was or was built for. ? bd

Nice, very nice. I remember seeing a 75# LH bow that belonged to Fred Bear,I wonder where it is today?

Doc, would that be the same fella from Texas that went to Africa? Initials BN.

Hud- I actually thought the same thing when I got the bow so I called Texas and personally spoke to Bill Negley.He told me it was NOT his bow,he didn't shoot quite that heavy.
Bowdoc- I will post a pic of just the bow and see if anyone knows who,or whom it was made for.I know Bill Wright shot heavy bows but I'm not sure if it was his.Was he a lefty?

it may have never been delivered to the atcual customer.
Yes Bill was one for sure but he choose to use the 1957-1958 Kodiak Special coming in at about 100#-107# somewhere in there on his Elephant.I also know who or whom has the 100# 65-66 Kodiak.bd
