Title: Need Refferal for Recurve Repair & Finish
Post by: jnettrecker on April 03, 2012, 02:58:00 PM
I have a 45# 60" Bear Kodiak Hunter and the clear coat finish is pealing off, kinda looks like dead skin. It also has a very minor limb twist but dowst seem to affect the accuracy. I might get that fixed as well. Anyway, I am thinking, at a minimum I should probably get it re-finished since I plan to use it for hunting this fall. My budget is not huge but I would like a quality job. Any recommendations or personal referrals would be appreciated.

Thanks

Josh B.

I'll check them out! Thanks for the help. I'm not sure how to figure out a mfg date but I think this is from the late 60's and still shoots very legit  :)

I just had an email from John yesterday, so I think he is around.  He does work a full time job as a carpenter as well as the bow business, but I'm sure he'll get back to you.

Enjoy - those old bows are great!
