What was the name of the dual shelf Recurve maybe Longcurve, Vintage, maybe 50's 60's...
Thanks for any info....
Oh.....I want to say cub or Alaskan, not 100% sure though.
Cub?
I have a Cub with the dual shelf
Mike,there were many models.The 1957 Kodiak was the first Kodiak to have a single shelf.
Pose the question in the Collector's forum and you should get some more specific answers.
1955 & 1956 Kodiak had a dual shelf. They were full recurves.
My Alaskan is dual. It's a "longcurve" style.

Hey Mike, you getting the Fred Bear Bug now ;) I know the Howard Hill Bug got you, now this :goldtooth:
At one point the following were dual shelf:
Cub
Grizzly
Alaskan
Polar
Kodiak
They all eventually became single shelf at varying points in time. The Cub returned as a dual shelf with plastic post rests in the late 1960's.
Of course there were always the entry level models like you see my son holding in my avatar.
Stone Knife.
My local shop, Jerry's Archery, has a Bear dual shelf with compass on it, it's a semi recurve.
I like shootin with both hands, so the bow sparked my interest....
I'll probably still get another Hill Tembo with no shelf, so I can shoot in Ambi
The '54,Kodiak II was the "Compass Kodiak" but it had very pronounced recurves.I suspect that one is a different model.
1950 Kodiak was single shelf.
