Title: ??? about Kodiaks and Super Kodiaks
Post by: david janssen on August 28, 2012, 08:59:00 PM

I was just wondering if the 1965 ,1966 Kodiaks,and the Super K's were built on the same forms?

Thanks for the help,

David

I have a '66 Kodiak and a "69 Super K. While they are very similar I don't think they were glued in the same forms. Just my guess. I sure others here are a lot more knowledgeable in this department.

Here's a shot of Kodiaks '65, '66, snd a Super K '68 back from when I owned more Bears. I've since sold all three so I can't take measurements but to the eye they appear identical in dimension.

No, they were not on the same form. Very simular but not the same.  I have had a 64,65 and 66 and the angle that the limbs came off the riser was different. I also believe that there were more than just one form for the same year bow too.
