Are the grips the same on the Super Kodiak and the Takedown ? Hard to tell by looking at some pics I have found but the Super Kodiak looks like it may have a higher wrist grip ? I know some of y'all own both or have shot both . Thanks !

I've seen new Super Kodiaks, for instance, hanging on Bear's rack at the traditional get-togethers that weren't the same. Each one felt just a bit different, and since they are hand finished that makes complete sense. That was about five years ago so they may be more closely finished now. I haven't shot the new takedowns or the newer phenolic Super Kodiaks. I honestly expect them to have subtle differences nonetheless.

Thank you for the reply. I just was not sure if one was designed with a deeper hand poket over the other one.

Going along with Mr. Stout, every time I see a grizzly I gotta pick it up and I know they're not super k's but there's only been one or two that I really liked the grip of. Nothing wrong with the others just not for me, on my new takedown Kodiak comparing the handle to my grizzly id say the grizzly has a more rounded handle, as opposed to the Kodiak takedown which has a more flat handle. They're both very comfortable and they both have very good hand placement but they both feel different, not bad just different. One thing I was really glad about was the grip on the takedown, as I had it shipped without ever touching one, based on my experiences with the grizzlys I've handled I liked maybe 3 grips out of 10 but I really like it and one more thing I like is the shelf is cut very low so the arrow is just above my fingers, the grizzly is about a 1/4 inch or so. I guess through all this gab the idea is if you can possibly shoot and try a few you may be better off,also I'm no expert on the subject this is just my limited experience and these are really the only 2 bows I have handled a lot and shot, the takedown not much but the grizz has quite a few arrows through it. Hopefully I've helped and didn't ramble to much!!

The SK is a higher wrist with more palm swell.I like the bow not the grip.Takedown fits me better.If you like a pistol grip you'll like the SK.

I just received my Super Kodiak on Monday . I really like the bow and it shoots great! Been looking at the bear Takedown a lot and thinking about maybe one of those next. Im always planning my next bow ! Lol. I have been shooting longbows mainly for the last few year's so the deep grip on the SK is the biggest adjustment I'm trying to get used to. But the bow shoots great and am happy with it. I know the pics I have seen of the takedown that the riser looks a lot like the SK. That is why I'm asking about the grip.

grips on bers depends on the hand size of the bowyer who finishes the grip and what feels good to him. they have guide lines but different bowyers grips are a bit different.

The Super Kodiak grip has a nice feel to it.I like mine a lot.(On my 4th one).Can't say about the Takedown.I do want to get one.

The new TD has a grip more like the mid 70s Kmag. The SK has a higher wrist set. I have Kodiaks and SKs from 65 thru 77 and Kmags from 62 thru 77. My TD is just a few years old. Fromlow to high I would say the late 60^ Grizzlys have the lowest with the late 60^ Kamgs and modern TD having the mid grip and the SKs having the highest wrist set.

Thanks for the info

And yet again, if you are one to let the grip on a bow influence your shooting, then try before you buy is a necessity...I prefer to learn to adapt to any grip including ones I do not like the feel of...my contention is that if you feel the grip when you are shooting you lack target focus

I have never had a grip I could not adapt to. But I'm like everyone I have my preference of what I like.

I don't see adapting to something that doesn't fell comfortable in my hand. I just sell or trade it.
