Title: Re: '76 Kodiak Magnum, NO medallion on my copy
Post by: B-AIR-O on December 11, 2018, 07:00:44 PM: I recently got a minty condition ’76: green and blue/purple riser overlays. Interestingly, this bow has no medallion…*no* medallion. Anybody else?

My bow had factory quiver mounts, the upper of which utilized the hole reserved for the coin. Does your bow have bushings?
