Title: Bear Kodiak Magnum
Post by: Deeter on January 27, 2013, 03:36:00 PM
I am looking at gettin myself a Bear Kodiak Magnum.  What are your guys opinion on them?  I have a Bear Kodiak but would like something shorter for hunting.

Ben,
If you do a search on the Kodiak mag you will find lots of info.

K-mag is without a doubt my favorite Bear.  I draw mine to 27.5" and have no issues with the length of the bow.  It is one of those bows that just feels right.

I have a '65 46# @28.  It is a strong shooter and is as fast as some bows I have that are several lbs. heavier. It is also the prettiest bow I have.   The mid 60s KMs had a curved feature strip that runs into the fade outs that is very attractive. It was my main shooter for a while until I decided to shoot a little lighter bow for my daily practice.

If I could find another of that vintage in 40# in decent condition I would buy it. KMs are great little bows.

I have two, 40# and 34#  which is factory cammo.  Wife shoots the 34#er in a winter league and hunts with it. Ive never shot one so I can't comment on the performance.  Wife likes hers.

Great little bows. Even though I have a 30.5" draw, I still use one turkey hunting. Can't beat 'em in a blind.

I used to shoot Carp with a 45lb KMag. I really liked it it was 45lb & I draw just over 29" it was comfortable to shoot.
My Nephew needed a bow & I gave it to him.
I think they are good bows!

Yes, you did stabow, right out from under me I might add.
I'm looking for a nice lefty myself. I had a beautiful Super K, but I broke it. Quite a shock.

I have a '66 45#, got my first trad deer with it this season.  I draw just over 28" and I don't notice any stacking.  It's quick and quiet and sooo handy.
