Title: My 1961 Kodiak
Post by: Migra Bill on November 27, 2008, 12:04:00 PM

OK guys here's the pic of the 61 Kodiak I picked up while in WV (along with 2 bucks). I got it from the original owner. I have not "touched it up" yet; these pics are as I received it. There are some superficial scratches on it that I will get out later. Love the Lime Green glass on this one. I also remember Bowdoc saying there were lots of variations of the 61 out there as far as wood types. This one has some sort of I beam construction. It does have the star stamp on it - I guess that detracts from the value, but that was has alot less stress marks than usually found on these 61's.

I haven't shot her yet, but at 50 pounds she should scream.

Later model (black coin) with a figured bubinga ibeam with a standard grain side slabs.Real cool bow.Star stamped ? and the next ? would be do the limbs look to have been painted green very near the original green fiberglass color ? They just look like odd color of green to me from your pic.Good score and great shooting bows.bowdoc

Richard- Than can be arranged. You have me over to hunt, I bring my arsenal along, and when the hunting is over - we have a shoot fest.
