Title: '67.5 Kodiak Hunter (Zebrawood)
Post by: OldSkoolArcher on October 30, 2011, 06:34:00 PM
Here is one I have been looking for for awhile. There are a few of these out there but seem few and far between.

This bow was in Al Reader's Collection.

That is cool. Did all those zebrawood hunters have green glass?

I believe they all did.

Every '67 Hunter I have seen (zebrawood and normal) has had green glass.

god I always hate to be the odd duck on vintage bows but thats what makes the world work so well I guess we need odd ducks asking ? about bows.But being the odd duck on this one.I would just like to ask and someone may know better then I.I am just asking not being a wize-asprin.I wonder if that may be tiger-wood rather the zebra-wood ??? I have seen several in tiger but not in zebra.Tiger wood and zebra wood do look somewhat alike ???? remember I am just asking bd

Doc,
  I have seen one other one in zebra and I have heard of another one also in zebra(have not seen pics of it though).
  I am almost 100% sure it is zebrawood. I can post other angles and close-ups if that would help.

Nick

I agree with Nick,thats zebra wood.I have a 69 k mag with tigerwood and looks nothing at all like that.

Every Tigerwood Kodiak Hunter I have owned looked more like this.
