My neighbor’s 82-year-old dad decided his 50# Kodiak Mag was a little too hard on his shoulders, and since both of us are leftys, he sold it to me. I normally shoot a 40# Shakespeare X40, but the Bear was too good to pass up. Going up to 50# has been a challenge for me, since I have arthritis in both shoulders. I can’t shoot the Bear very well, but will keep trying to gain enough strength to do better with it.
This Kodiak Magnum has a walnut riser, maple lams, and green glass on back and belly. It is a lot better-made than my Shakespeare — edges nicely contoured, finish smooth as glass. The previous owner hunted with it every year, but kept camo sleeves on the limbs, so it is in very good shape. I sure hope some of his hunting luck came along with the bow!
