I recived my bear from Big Jims bow-company in the mail today ..its the new bear super kodiak black phenolic its so smooth to draw no stack what so ever at my 29+ draw ,, its 50 pounds at 28" 60 inch long i only shoot it in garage so far and no silencers only the custom flemish string big jim furnishes the bows with ,wich is a very nice well made string ,the bear is so quiet and yet it really spits the arrows out my chronograph is broken so unfortunately i can not test the speed .
i shoot 2117 2216 and 2219 so far it seems to prefer the 2216 with 175 grain tips i am very impressed with the performance and looks of this bow .. and im glad big Jim talked me into getting the 60 inch instead of 64 cause i hade been reading about some complaining that it stacked there is zero stack in this bow at my 29+ inch draw i think many times its the muscles that start to stack cause people are over bowed and they think the bow stacks ,, any way i can really recomend the bow and Big Jims bowcompany fast delivery he also inspects the bows and he makes a custom string for the bear wich is so much better than the factory one that he sends with them
cheers Cody
Congrats,the new Super Kodiak is a sharp looking bow!
Congrats!
Pictures or it didn't happen!
i will try and post some pictures ,,i said 2216 but that was a typo error wrong its actually the 2219 that bare shafts the best ..
my widow wich is same poundage needs a 2216 cut 30.5 with 175 g point the bear i shoot 2219 cut 30.5
with 175 g grain point . i love the grip and the bow is so stable forgiving to shoot very little hand shock and vibration and does not kick back like some trad recurves do its very forgiving to shoot i think the phenolic absorbs vibrations very well to . also i checked the tiller and it only ever so slight heavy bottom limb maybe 1/8 or less compared to the normal 1/4
that most have tiller at maybe that why it shoots great 3 under for me its so quiet im really happy
Congratulations!!! These bows look so nice.
Wonderful...congrats!
I had a phenolic/rosewood Super K years ago. I have been looking at them again, it seems the pics of the new ones show a deeper grip than mine had. Are they deeper and if so, are they all like that?
The Super K is probably the most versatile hunting recurve ever designed.
Congrats! We need pictures! Those bows are beautiful!
