Looks like a 57 Kodiak to me, Grip looks original.
Nice bows, great shooters.

1957 Kodiak. If that bow has been out of the bow sock more than half a dozen times I'd be surprised.
-
based on the weight and condition and the 57s reputation that bow could bring $400.00 plus easily.

Looks clean for sure. May go for 3-400 on auction.
-
Let us know if you don't buy it!
-
I'm getting it. We'll see what it looks like close up.
thanks for the help.

I have a couple that are about nice, i would gladly sell them for that kind of money.. thats crazy.. in great times that bow is only worth $200 at max. i have sold a dozen or so of them and never got more than that.
-
wait... i like the other answers better :biglaugh:
The thing is incredible. It looks like it's a week old. of course it's right handed and i shoot left and I don't think I could get myself to even string it up. Hoping CJ is a least a tiny bit low.

C.J., Please send me pictures of the nicer ones that you have along with prices. Times certainly aren't great right now so I assume you would sell for well under $200.00. I'd love to have a near mint '57 Kodiak.
Thanks.....Chuck

yep, looks like a nice '57 Kodiak, if you are buying it as a shooter, be sure to check for limb twist. Regardless of the cosmetic appearance it may still have a tweeked limb, the big sweeping curves in the '57's are notorious for twisting. Good luck.

I've sold several 1957's and the prices have ranged between 400.00 for the best one I had...to a 75.00 beater.Things are low right now.But 200.00 seems really good price for a clean 1957 Kodiak.CJ if you mave a mint condition 1957 Kodiak 60" 54-55# for around 100.00.Please email me.....thanks bowdoc

I guess I'll get in line 3rd for a mint 57K at $200.00 or less.

I agree with most here. In good shape a '57 will (should) bring right about $200. That one is in exceptional shape though :) It's also a less common weight. $250-300 seems fair. If it were just a few #s heavier it could easily go 300+
-
why are things low right now??
economy? too many bows out there?
just curious
-
Cause the stock market is crashing. People are reluctant to spend a lot.
-
Figured.. didn't know if it was something specific to bow collecting that was happening too.
-
Edited post to see if anyone is interested.
thanks
-
Intersted in trading it for a 65 Kodiak RH in 41#'s
-
Okie, there are a lot of folks already looking for work and a bunch more about to be laid off.
Unless you need the money now, I'd put the bow away and bring it out again in the late spring if things are better then; but they could be worse.
ebat is a good indicator-have a look.
Trad archery stuff goes real soft under these circumstances.........good luck!

Russ, I sent you a PM

Thanks Bjorn.. guess you are right. Not going to go anywhere I guess and 300 bucks doesn't do much to offset my finances in real terms. I'm now self-unemployed myself :knothead:
Trying to add a few hats and see if I can stay become self employed again.
Bill.. thanks but I'm trying to get rid and not accumulate right now. I'm attempting to not become a collector but I get these urges???

Out of curiousity, How about one the Bowdoc Refininshed,and Glenn Signed, also 57 kodiak only 50#, thought?? 225.00- 250.00, seems reasonable for sure on the 54 #er. Very nice shooters indeed. Thx Warberg

I have a 64" 75# 1957 kodiak.
