Why do the 56 kodiaks get no respect? I see the 57,58 etc when for sale bring good money and the 56 kodiaks have been barely bringing $100-$125 in excellent shape.
A 57 in ok condition brought $240 on the auction site. I own all theese bows and the 56 in my opinion shoots the hardest and fastest and feel good in the hand.

My guess would be the double shelf on the 1956 vs. the single shelf. I like my 56 kodiak but would love to try/get a 57 kodiak.

shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Aint got mine yet!

lol

It's gotta be the narrow shelves. At least that is what it is for me. I have had two screamers of '56 Kodiaks and just couldn't get used to the narrow shelves so I sent them packing. The narrow limbs really launch an arrow. I have been looking for a '57 or '58 Kodiak to fill their place but haven't found the right one yet.

The are quick but the narrow shelf and lack of mass weight makes them tough to shoot for a long stretch like round of 3-D. I prefer more mass weight. I have to cant mine more to get the arrows to strike center.

Mine now hangs in my son's den over the flintlock rifle I built him when he was 11.
