priced about right and hunting season is near.bd

Im just scared to pay that much for one that i know nothing about.

Folks pay $500+ for a custom usually without actually seeing a bow. I know there is allot more that can be wrong with a classic but I can definitely understand jumping on a bow that you have wanted for a long time.
That is allot, at least for me anyway, to spend on a bow though.

Great length, great weight, all original, priced to sell.
Supposedly, the seller had never strung it. Hopefully the new owner will give it some fresh air.

The power and allure of the 1959/60 Bear Kodiak never fails to amaze! Something about that model, of all the classic recurve bows ever offered by all the bow manufacturers from 1950 well into the 1970s, captures people. The flowing lines, the dark-wood riser, the orange/brown glass, the over-sized lined sideplate, the feather rest, the look and feel of the leather grip, even the presence of the single-screw bowquiver insert (when present) seems to stir people.
It’s the model that personally started me, so many years ago, down the path of collecting Bear Kodiaks. I always smile when I see others newly enamored by this old classic.
