Title: Dating old Bear bows
Post by: JL on December 31, 2003, 04:03:00 PM
I just bought a 64" Kodiak recurve. It looks to be made of Zebrawood has a leather wrapped handle and brown glass. Serial number is DD801. It is 51#'s and I hope it is a good shooting bow because I plan on shooting and hunting with it. Any help?

With Ron's help (Thanks Ron!) I found out it is a 1960 Kodiak and is made of nicely figured rosewood,not zebrawood as I had thought.
