Hey everyone!! Got my new bow!!! She isn't pretty but she throws an arrow true. I was talking to an old friend of mine about my frustrations lately with my archery. He says " come over to my place after work..bring your bow" Anyway I get there we shoot. He says " come here a min" He takes me back to the Treasure closet and out comes this bow! He says " try this one" I do and my god!! I'm cured!! Luckily my old setup arrows fly well out of this bow. I went from my old setup I've been shooting with a short bow with groups the size of plates at 25yds with the occasional baseball sized group. To baseball sized groups with arrows slappin and 1 robin hood!!! I actually have to aim a different parts of the target from shot to shot...big deal for me!! This bow I can just shoot in a form that's comfortable. My little bow to get get it to shoot decent was complicated..( hold it straight up & down, arch wrist like this, put thumb pressure here..etc.etc..) Anyway after my buddy saw the way I was shooting it he tells me to keep it. " This bow was made for you" he says. How cool!!
Anyway, can any of ya tell me what kind of bow this is from the pics? Thanks a bunch.

I don't know what the bow is but I really like the way you tell the story. When a bow fits life is good. I wonder how many potentially fine archers leave trad archery because of ill fitting bows and mismatched arrows? Joe
I can't tell the glass color but it looks like a 1957 Bear Kodiak.If the glass is white,it could be a '58.Either way,it's a gem.
The belly and back are Black. So prob a 1957 bear kodiak? Thanks a bunch!!
Nice shooters for sure! It looks to be in good shape too!
Man, you send that to the Real Bow Doc and your bow will not only shoot great but, will look great again. Congrats on a great find. :clapper:
