The cub would be a 1965

The Kodiak Magnum would be a 61-64. It could be narrowed down to the exact year with a picture and or Glass color and riser wood.

Jack - It's actually a 62. In fact - it's the same 62 Magnum I bought from you! Remember? I loved the bow - great wood - but I traded it away. I do still have that 64 Magnum I bought from you. I'll never get rid of that one.

That's a beauty of a '62!

Yeah Nick - it's a sweeeet one. Really hated to let it go. And it was my magic weight of 48# too. But I traded the 2 bows he mentioned (you remember the 65 Cub I got off the blanket at BBTC) and a little coin for a 2003 Graybark Black Widow PMA 2. Limbs are 60 pounds though - gotta trade them down.

Thanks all and Bill i was by no means doubting your word it's just i was looking at some 62's and the wood just seemed alittle darker on some,that Cub got the paint removed today,looks pretty good underneath,white glass,i could understand why whomever did it did it,pretty white.

Bill,

I remember selling you the 64 alright but not a 62. Could have been my wife signed on as me. I better go check my bow room and make sure I still have a 62 Magnum.

Jack

Bill, I thought that was your favorite weight! I remember the Cub, it was very nice.
Congrats on scoring the BW.

Rich,
You got a beauty of a magnum there!!!
