Several years ago I posted an ad here wanting to buy a Kodiak Hunter. Jack Shanks responded and I purchased this bow from him.

I decided a few weeks ago to leave the customs at home and use this Grayling Bear as my main bow for the year.

Our season opened this morning and I was on top of our mountain in my stand at 7AM. At 7:30 I spotted a deer heading my way but out of range. He made a turn and came to the far end of where I'm comfortable, 27 yards.

I picked a spot,drew, hit anchor and released. The deer took a step as I watched the arrow fly. The shot was a little back but I knew it was OK. The buck took off and I heard it crash a few seconds later.

I waited for few minutes and went down to find my arrow.


I slowly followed the trail and a few minutes later he was mine.


I've been trying to kill a deer with a vintage bow for the past 4 years and got serious about this year. POC arrows and Zwickey Eskimos are good stuff. This spike represents a lot of work and I couldn't be happier with it.

Nicely done!!
I'm also trying to connect this year with a vintage Kodiak Hunter that was passed on to me by my uncle.
