I grew up watching Dad shoot this Bear a kodiak Hunter which he bought shortly after he got home from Vietnam and mustered out. Awhile back he gave it to me and I was a bit apprehensive about stringing it up. Well, Grim_Slim made a string for me and this afternoon I shot this old friend after a thirty year hiatus   :)   thanks for those that persuaded me to do it and Grim_Slim for the great string   ;)  .

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

That's Great.  Love the older bear bows!!!!  the fact it was your fathers makes it even more special.

I am happy you decided to string it up and not just wonder forever what it was capable of.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Thanks   ;)  It was a lot of fun. Last time I shot the bow was when I was 14..... Brought back a lot of good memories. This bow has never taken game that I know of. I intend to change that.
