I just bought a Bear Kodiak from a friend, he bought it used in late 1980-beninnig of 1990.
Serial is BK-05737, AMO 60. 45#
I am curious about the year this bow was made, how could I figure it out? Bow is in ok condition, finish is broken in outer limbs where the fadeouts end. I am surprised how this bow performs, draw is sooo sweet!  

Post this in the 'collector's forum' and include a pic

It is a Gainesville bow from the 1980s.
