2015 Reproduction Bear Super Kodiak---Found some pics.

Bryan Korte · November 26, 2014, 10:41:00 PM

Has anyone laid their eyes on one of the new Bear Super Kodiak's yet? The one with phenolic and rosewood riser. Just wondering if its as nice as the old late 60s Super Kodiak's ? Or if its going to be as sweet as the new 59 reproduction Kodiak? The pics look like the riser might be a glossy finish but limbs look like they are a duller black glass?

I hear there's a 9 month wait list, so some folks must like the pics they see. Are they not going to be available in both glossy and satin?

You better call Big Jim and get on the list.

Wow that's not what I wanted to hear for a wait time. Lol. The web sight doesn't really say if satin or gloss.

If the new ones shoot as well as my '69 SK they definitely will have a winner! As Blackhawk stated "You better call Big Jim and get on the list".

Ya I've been watching those older ones forever with drool coming out the corner of my mouth. Lol

Was the 69 all phenolic? The rosewood and phenolic a couple years before that ?

Bryan, the 1967.5 was the year of the first Super Kodiak...and it was all phenolic which was called the "Black Beauty". In 1968 and 69, Bear added the rosewood "horns" which is the model for this new introduction.

Gotcha gotcha! I was thinking backwards then. There must not be much info on this new one yet no one seems to know much.

BigJim · November 27, 2014, 09:57:00 PM

No one knows for sure about the wait. I handled a couple at Bear on Wednesday and I would expect them to be available a little sooner I have already been seeing some of the 2014 bows coming in so we can only hope.
They are magnificent! I have a lot of bows on order and should be receiveing them as soon or sooner than most. Have already taken in two hundred bear bows in the last 30 days.

If you want one...any one, your best bet is to get on a waiting list...I would prefer it to be my list. If the bows aren't ordered already, chances are it will be a very loooong wait for re- orders.
thanks, bigjim

Holy smokes that's a bunch of bows. Hey thanks the info. Sounds like they may be pretty dang nice if you say they are magnificent.

Has anyone laid their hands on one of these yet?

Was playing on the big auction site today and look what I found. Some pics of the 2015 Super K.

That's a great looking bow

Nice

they just look so awesome..

Bryan Korte · February 26, 2015, 08:32:00 AM

Ya they do. Can't wait to see one in person. Wish I had the funds.

I like how they rounded the tips on the remake. I was never a huge fan of the squared shape on the originals.

Blackhawk · February 26, 2015, 11:49:00 AM

I like it...except for those holes drilled in the side. Anyone know if that guy who drills ever takes a day off?

Yes, mucho better looking tips!

Bryan Korte · February 26, 2015, 12:03:00 PM

I was trying to decide if I liked those new tips or not. Still undecided. I could definitely do without the holes on the side. But the finish sure is purdy and they did a fabulous job with that.
