Title: New Toy Showcase
Post by: TRAP on June 08, 2008, 06:17:00 PM: I know some of you guys have been busy collecting and refinnishing. Heres your chance to display some of that fine art from yesterday.

I'll start with a few items that recently came my way.

60K 60" 52#
62K 60" 47#
Turkey Calls came from Mike Breslin (MJB here on TG) They are truly works of art but I plan on getting them wet and dirty next spring. For now, I'll set them on the shelf and get them down every once in a while to annoy my wife. Thanks Mike

As soon as I can find my 3/16" drill bit, I'm going to mount my AMS Retriever reel and go slay some carp! 1960 Kodiak Deluxe 64" 50#. CKruse

Post by: TRAP on June 08, 2008, 07:49:00 PM: Thats a beauty Cam, do you shoot your Deluxe? I've shot mine, but not alot. I actually shot it a little this morning.

Bjorn, is the bow on the far left the new edition?

Title: Re: New Toy Showcase
Post by: ckruse on June 08, 2008, 08:16:00 PM: Trap, it showed lots of signs of being shot and hunted with. I've strung it and drawn it, but that's it. I had a 64" 52# 1967.5 Super Kodiak black beauty blow up on me at full draw with no warning. I was a little scraped up and heartbroken, but survived with both eyes intact. I know it can happen with any of them, but that cured me from wanting to shoot anything questionable! :eek: CKruse
Title: Re: New Toy Showcase
Post by: TRAP on June 08, 2008, 08:22:00 PM: I remember that thread, that would be scary.

Because of all the stories I was reluctant to shoot my deluxe for a couple days. A couple half draw affairs and I slowly crept back to full draw. I find myself checking it alot more while shooting it than any others.

that bow is exactly(RH 60" 45#) like the one I found in Wis.....the guy had been using as a carp bow. Maybe it was CKruse.
The one I had went to the guy in Omaha last year.
Title: Re: New Toy Showcase
Post by: TRAP on June 08, 2008, 09:52:00 PM: This one came from Austin Texas Ron. I didnt know it was butcherblock when I bought it.

The guy I bought it from gave another fella a Kodiak Magnum for it to keep him from turning it into a carp bow about 10 years ago. Apparently he had the Mag hanging on the wall and traded up for a better wall hanger and the Mag became a carp bow.

Nice bow Mike, I love the 62Ks. They look great and shoot even better.

Both 66", yellow is 42# @28,purple heart is 47# @28
Came from a Pasadena roving archer, she is 96 yrs old.The 47# had camo limb socks and the quiver mounted,that old lady rocked when she was younger.The 42# is factory original except for the feather rest and plate from a certain fellow addict.The 47# was greyish green and had a really bad refinish, I was amazed at what was under the grey.
