Some of the Collection (pics)

[Tim Kosteczko]

Lately ive seen a few threads on here about old Bear bows and thought i would share some pics of some of the bows my father has collected over the years, and recently completely spoiled me by alowing me to pick and choose different ones to shoot untill i find one i like. I now know how fortunate i am to do that, so i thought i would share some pics of these fine pieces of traditional archery history with people who can really apreciate them. (some we dont shoot and you can guess why) Hope you all enojoy them as much as  i have begun to as learn more about them.

First is a picture of : (from left to right)
1-1959/60 - Bear Grizzly 55# Bow still has original feather rest, leather grip, and even string. (see second pic also)
2- 1962 kodiak 62#
3- 1962 kodiak 70#
4- 1955/56 Kodiak 59# (both right and left handed)
5- 1955 Kodiak Special 63#

Shick, Dad is partial to the '70 also, i am just partial to whatever shoots straight lol. happens to be a 76 super k and it is my new love. (you would think they made the grip on it from a mold of my hand, it is gonna be hard to seperate from it to try these others)
