The seller is a regular here. Ask MigraBill, I'm sure he's shot it. It looked like a pretty clean package.

Yes Yeti - that is my bow you have one. AT 57 pounds it is a screamer. As you said the bow is in super good shape. You will not be dissapointed. I have shot it sveral times over the past year and a half and have never had a problem. I sold it for 1 reason-
At the BBTC last weekend I bought a '59 Kodiak Special from Tom Phillips. I really like the looks of the '59 K Special and I want to give it to Rich (Droptine) to see what magic he can work on it.
I decided to sell the '55 in hopes of defraying the cost of the '59.
I already have the bow boxed up and I am just awaiting payment.

I have one at 45# and mine shoots great. I can only imagine how yours will shoot. Migra Bill is a super guy and I am certain you will love the bow.

I just started shooting my 64 inch 55 with a 60 inch endless loop string and was pleasantly suprised how well a 50+ year old bow will shot. You will enjoy it. Bhill

I have a 56 Kodiak with the double shelf. Shoots great. I can't get used to that shelf, however, do the Kodaik Special should be better for you.
The 56 Kodiak is like a longbow but different. Very unique shooting experience.
Mine is 64" and 54#. A real tack driver but I'm very erratic with it. I guess time and practice will change things. Maybe it's just a wall hanger. Does have a lot of history to it.
Enjoy your bow
