Newest baby...before pics.

Okay, blame smj (he got me started) ...this traditional archery can be an obsession. Just made a very good trade on a 1962 Bear Kodiak Magnum. 52 inches and 55 lbs. I found a great re-finisher and sent it to him for a treatment. Here are the "before pics". Once it is completed, I'll post some "after" pics. Best to all,

That's gonna be an awesome bow! Already is....I currently have in my possecion, a 2-tomne Kodiak Mag - 55# that I'm trying out....I'm afraid it's a bit short for me tho...The guy will let me have it for 100.00 bucks.

I'd like to get hold of a Browning explorer II in 50-55#....anybody got one?

Thanks all...these old bows have sense of history and mystic you can't get from a new compound. I realize that refinishing ruins collector value, but I buy stuff to use and shoot. Should look great in the man room even if I can't shoot it worth a darn.

Awesome bow Red! Can't wait to see her all done up!

Thats going to be a fun one for sure, I like those old Bears. Some rattler skins would look sweet on it.
