I cleared this with Terry before making this post...
I wrote an article on my site called "The Bows I Grew Up With". I hope you enjoy it.
Outstanding reading Roger.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Great story and found memories, thanks for sharing.
Memories committed to written form are bound to last beyond forever. I felt like I was there watching your journey.
Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed it Roger, well done sir!
Thank you.......it brought back wonderful memories for me!!
Roger, that was a fantastic story. I too grew up with my bows defining the different stages of my life, thank you!
Great work! I enjoyed reading this. It reminded me of my childhood! Thanks!!

Roger,
Just this morning,Steve Turay and I swaped stories about The bows we grew up with.
Something must be in the air.
I will go check out your story.

That was an amazing story. An I will agree with you that the Kodiak/ super kodiak has the BEST grip of any bow I have ever shot.
I was in a slump as of late so I switched to the Kodiak , and click, the game is on again.
Thank you for the story
Pretty nice, Roger.. I like the way you think..
Chuck, you have a good pal !

Roger,
That was a great story. Very nicely written, because I was there with every arrow launch.
:thumbsup:
A wonderful story Roger. Sounds like you had a Dad very similar to mine. Almost like reliving my childhood, wonderful memories.
Man o man, to think what we used to do to shoot our bows. I had a green fiberglass job...nameless and rough, but it flung arrows! I used to strap that puppy to the frame of my big paper route bike and ride daily miles through the streets of DETROIT to one of the city parks that had an archery range. I look back and shake my head; I am pretty lucky ;)
Very nice Roger.
Great memoir.
It is not too far off from my own in fact. Like I think you did, I also grew up in MI and had family who worked for Bear Archery.
I also had a brush with compounds. Lasted too many years.
Thanks guys.
Steve O......imagine a kid riding throught the streets of Detroit now? They would call SWAT!!!

Somebody called me about this story yesterday,they asked how I thought to keep my bows, especially the 2 kid bows....I didn't, it was pure luck. I really wish I had more of the arrows from back then. I recently rediscovered a couple old Bear Microflights that were matched to the last bow in that story, the Super Kodiak TD.
Roger, we took the long way home from Comerica Park yesterday to see the old neighborhood. It was rough...
I have a 1968 Super Kodiak to remember the year I was born. We are blessed with incredible bows today, but those SKs do not give up much at all to them :thumbsup:
I just picked up some yellow Microflight arrows off of fleabay to accompany my 1971 Super K that I'll be done refinishing later this week. It's a beautiful shooter and I agree with Steve, they'll shoot with any of our bows today as far as accuracy goes.
Great writing. Thanks.
Martin
Good read.
