YES!............. :thumbsup:
More to come............Philip

As long as it took me to find one I'd say any LH 67 1/2 SK is rare. BowDoc has mine right now.

Christmas is coming early for someone.... :goldtooth:
I have found some dandy bows thru the years but this one....I'm tickled with this one!
-
Philip its a 64" and 45# and its the only one I've come across in 4 plus years. I wish it was a few more pounds but I'll take it.
Maybe BD will post some more pic's
Good Luck with your new bow.

Your bow is sweet Doug!
Those 64" models are soooooooo smooth to shoot.
By the way..........The bow I found is for a friend..... ;)

WOW!

oh yeah Phil you got that right.I personaly now this is IMHO personaly believe a 64" Bear Super Kodiaks is about one of if not the best shooting bow ever built.Why why you ask ? well several reasons but one is because most were in the heavier draw weights well you know 40+ pounds ? built in hunting weights up to 70#'s correct ? OK you got a hunting draw weight bow on an almost target bow length(number 3 limbs on a B riser is about the same bow).Super super smooth to shoot.And if you do not over bow yourself in draw weight they are real nail drivers bd

I love the 64" Super Ks.
I can shoot em all day long.
But for hunting, I'm a 60" guy and the one I found here for Felix is 55# LH~!!!!
How's the 67 Kodiak "black Beauty" going?
Miss talking to you........Philip

2 Great examples I have here Donnie.
Love them both.......Philip
-
I love all the SK,but for sure the 67 is the more appealing and maybe the best shooter.
I had a very clean 67-55# that I HAD to trade for a Type1 B riser,plus other stuff,and since then I missed it,BUT.. a good angel for NYC give me a twin brother.Thanks so much again Philip,you just earned a free lodging and hunting for 2 in the Alps.LOL.Wine free too.
-

Smoking bow. Condition is amazing. No dents,nicks,holes, nothing!
Whoever worked on the grip and shelf at Bear Archery was definitely a bowhunter!
Hope you like it Felix.........Philip

I was lucky enough to get a 67 1/2 LH 60 " in a weight of 64# . I love mine and took a whitetail with it last year.... Collecting them now. I also have a 58, 62, and 66 Kodiaks ....all in LH, very hard to find. The 58 is 56". Alot of guys on this site here are great and trade or sell bows .

Very nice indeed!!
Congrats Felix!

Hi Tony.
Hope your doing well.
I was lucky on this one.
I have been chasing for a vintage LH Kodiak for a while now with no luck. Most LH folks don't let em go so quick.
Anyway,
I remembered having and selling a 67 1/2 LH Super Kodiak back in the day.
I thought it was 55# but was'nt certain.
I knew who I sold it to and asked if he was willing to let me have it back and he did.
2# off, turns out to be 53#.
I was close :knothead: .

That's a seriously hard to find bow being Left Handed sure complicates an already complicated process, trying to collect vintage Bear Bows. I have only recently started this venture and have gotten a very nice 66 Kodiak and a nice 71 Kodiak but haven,t seen anything like this. Congrats on a great find. RW

The kodiaks are nice and when you find one available that is what you have been seeking, snap it up.
I think it is more rare to find someone that wants to use them. That is why so many are being treasured by the few guys that know. I was using the only ones I saw at shoots around here last year. Thanks to the internet many are more available today. I know for one that in my neck of woods you would have never found anything available in the late 70's, 80's and even the 90's like what is out there today. :)
