I have volunteered to help a fellow union member out by getting him a kodiak magnum. He hunted with one for years and it failed. Now he uses a crossgun and said he will go back if I can find him a heavy one. He killed many deer with his old one. He thinks it was 70# @ 28". My question is how heavy did they make these bows? I want to know how heavy they can be before I start my search. I doubted the 70# weight. Any info will help.
Thank you,
Gary
FIRST..... I'd try and find as close to a 70# bow as you can.
Then, I'd see if he can pull it!!!

No doubt he can pull it. He is the real deal. I will not get him another 70 though. He does not need that much. I am just curious if that was even a possibility and what their Max weight is.
I'm sure Bear made them in heavy weights. I remember an artical in Traditional Bowhunter Magazine several years back that had Heavy K-Mags. I think they had pictures of 70#,75# and I think even an 85#. You could search over on the Trad History & Collectors forum... Lots of knowledgable folks there!!! :thumbsup:
Heaviest I've seen is 65# on fleabay. I own a 58#.
Thanks for replies
Seen an 80# on the big auction last week. Thought it was odd, as most I've seen are 40s-50s.
