I also have a Bear Kodiak Magnum, 52", 50lb bow. I bought it new in 1965 and have kept it all these years. It's in like new condition and is still a beautiful bow. I have the original Bear quiver and a half dozen original Bear arrows, five of which have the Bear broadheads. I haven't used it for at least 40 years, although I tried it last fall for a few shots. I had forgotten how light it is compared to my 6.6 lb compound, and how "inaccurate" I am now with it after using the compound. Instinctive shooting was a special skill which I have lost. This was a great bow in its time, and I think it still is. I've seen some for sale asking ≈$300 for it. I've decided to keep it for nostalgia's sake, and to pass it on.
