bctgrad, love the first pic of your beautiful Kodiak. That would make a great cover shot shot for TBM! An awesome bow like that lying among all that wool just gives a fella a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I really love some of the newer custom bows, but time and again, my thoughts and heart take me back to my youth.....the bows from that era had serious mojo....and still do!
