Title: Quick Question
Post by: RunninWild77 on April 16, 2009, 12:08:00 AM

Hey guys, I've been silently ready along with all your posts here for a while now. Pretty interesting stuff, always loved history. Anyways, I just got a new bow I bought from a guy on here. And man she's a beuty, but I forgot to ask what year it is.
It is a Bear Kodiak Magnum, Serial No. KU30293. I was hoping any of you might know.
Thanks guys.
Walt

Hard to tell by the serial# alone. Is it green, squareish tips? By the serial it sounds like something in the '70's.

Pics would really help.

In 1973 the bows were green with white fiberglass overlays. The later ones around 1976 started using futurewood overlays.
