Your "Holy Grail" of bows you want?

[TRAP]

I have mine.  1960 Bear Kodiak 52# 60".  The best shooting bow I own and pretty easy on the eyes as well.

[Hit-or-Miss]

At some point, I hope to obtain a Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet and 1959 Bear Kodiak, both in 60-65#; and I thought I was alone until I read the above threads!

Ya got good taste in bows.

I got both, but not in those weights

[Whip]

Damon Howatt Hunter 62", 50-60#
1962 Kodiak, same weight range.
Others too numerous to mention ....
I've seen the ones I'm looking for,but always in good shape and higher priced than what I am hoping for. I would prefer to find ones that would make a good refinish project.

[Blackhawk]

Trap, that 1960 Kodiak is a beauty...and I concur with your comments on how they shoot.

I have shot alot of bows over the last 4 years, gone to at least 2 major shoots each year, and I still can't find anything I like shooting better than my '59 Grizzlies.

#1. 59" and 51# @ 28"
#2. 62" and 51# @ 28"

KENNY I know I love my 59 grizz and i know when Rich gets it done I will love it even more. BUT My Dryad TD longbow Orion is still the one I grab first.. The bow I miss and would love to find and get back was a early Jim Neaves longbow. Not selway or his new bow a D shape bow. But I loved it and like a dummy I sold it.<><

[Larry m]

An original Howard Hill Longbow in very nice condition would certainly be a sweet one to own!!

[PAPALAPIN]

This is a great thread.

I have sold one bow as a result of it, and have interest in two more.

[term]

Just getting started in real collecting I have 4widows 3 bears but I think I would go for a load of bows from my birth year 1966

[bear1336]

I'd be willing to bet you have a new "Holy Graile" already.

We always do.

Are you going to the TBG Banquet in August?

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a well
preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with
bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What
a Ride!!!"

I LIKE THAT    

[jim bowie]

Papalapin, what's this Bear 1336, Cause I own
B1336, was just wondering?!!!

[cacciatore]

Jim,Bear 1336 is Dave's AKA name,one time he told me the reason of it but I had forgotten the reason.He is a really nice guy and a lefty too.
Take care of your 1336.
