Title: 63' kodiak is a shooter
Post by: kadbow on November 25, 2012, 04:43:00 PM: I shot my 63' Kodiak at the range today with the guys. Man it shot good. I am planning on hunting with it next year for its and mine 50th.

A couple years ago I put my '63 against my '64 (same weights) and to my surprise it won in both the speed and accuracy tests.

Others may end up with different results, but I'm convinced the dogleg is no slouch.

Post by: Ydanny on December 06, 2012, 06:08:00 PM: I bought a '63 Kodiak from Dan (Poodlehead). I haven't shot it much but plan to get it set up this winter in the basement. I will say that it has a great feeling grip.

Post by: Ydanny on December 23, 2012, 10:32:00 PM: I was shooting my '63 today and was thinking the whole time how this bow shoots better than a lot of custom bows that I paid a whole lot more for.

Post by: BrokenArrows on January 04, 2013, 11:52:00 AM: I had one that I could shoot great w an elevated rest (any kind), but could not get good arrow flight off the shelf, and I tried hard.

I had the same problem w a 2010 Super Kodiak. Every other Bear bow I have ever had (oodles from '58 on) shoots fine off the shelf for me.

Post by: Xavier on January 04, 2013, 10:36:00 PM: Woot 63's are 50! Just received my second 63, a grizzly from a member. Groovy green glass. Have yet to shoot it, but the string is on, stretching. Uncanny thing is while looking up 63 grizzlies on tradgang i came upon a photo of my bow!
