Title: The BEST girlfriend and a Kodiak Special
Post by: Keith361 on December 25, 2012, 05:42:00 PM
A couple of months ago I posted that I found a Kodiak Special at a yard sale for a good price, well, I thought I would try to get a better price for it and I let it pass for another day to try to talk the guy down some more. As it turns out the guy wasn't home that day, or the days following for a week and a half. When I finally caught up with him at his house I was eager to buy the bow, and was willing to give him what he originally wanted for it. He gave me the bad news that he had sold it to a guy shortly after I left the first day. After being miserable for the rest of the day I gathered myself and began to look for a new deal. Time went by and the deals weren't to be found for me. Fast forward to this morning, Christmas morning. After the presents were opened and we began to clean up my girlfriend tells me that she has one more gift for me and produces the Kodiak that I thought was long gone! It was sold shortly after I left alright, but not to some guy, but to my best girl! I felt like I just got my very own Red Rider 200 shot Range Model Air Rifle!
41# @ 28"
Serial # 9YK47 (Not sure what year this is)
And as soon as I get the camera hooked up I'll post some pics!
Thanks Babe! You're the best!

Roy nailed it 1960. The '59 and '60 are my favorite Kodiak Specials.
