[Jake Fr]

Ok I'm dense how did you figure this out

first number I' got a 69

From 1965-69 only, Bear began their serial numbers with the last number of the year...hence, an "8" means 1968.  

The KH was first made in 1967 as a 58" bow and has a serial # beginning with "7".  

In 1970, the KH serial number began with a "K", but to accurately date a KH from the 70's, we need pics or more detail descriptions.

You should just give it to me since I was born in '68.  

Just kidding but, pics would be the right thing to do.  

[Jake Fr]

Those 1968 Kodiak Hunter's are sweet shooting bows.  Very accurate and forgiving bow to shoot.  I understand Bill Stewart was key to the KH development.
