Title: help with bear bow
Post by: doug77 on June 30, 2008, 04:04:00 PM

due to recent back back surgery I bought a LH Bear Kodiak Hunter serial # 7T6578. 40 LBS @ 28 draw I needed a low pound bow to get back startd shooting again, I am just wondering if some one could tell me what year this bow was made.

Thank You

Doug: Your Hunter is a 1967. I shoot a 45# 67 Hunter ,They are good bows.  Mike

The '67 was the first year for the Kodiak Hunter.  This makes it possibly the most collectible Kodiak Hunter provided it is in decent shape.  For me, the '67 is the only Kodiak Hunter that I would be interested in, but in a right hand.

Don't know how much you paid for it, but you got a good one.
