Title: please date this K-mag
Post by: ZaneD on April 03, 2008, 08:14:00 PM

My dad recently bought an old Kodiak magnum that's in perfect condition, with a one-piece dark brown, slightly figured riser wood, and gray glass limbs with a slightly yellowed finish. It has a flush gold coin, with the white overlays on the riser and tips.

serial #9U8730
35# @28"

Could someone please tell me about what year this bow is? I'm guessing early 60's. Hopefully I'll get pics up tomorrow.

It is 1969.The first digit in the serial # is the last digit of yr.of manufacture. This is only for Bear bows in the 60's,not shure when it started and when it stopped.I THINK it is from 1965,66,67,68,69.
