Received my first Bear in the mail today. A ‘56 Kodiak Special, 64” 51#@28. Never owned a Bear before but always been a fan. I’d say the only downside of this vintage is the lack of the iconic Coin. But it was a very good deal and the bow is in great condition for being 66 years old.

Cool, that should be a quick bow. Congrats.

That bow has original everything, right down to the rest and sideplate. It is a real joy to shoot…Bear made beautiful bows in the mid to late 50’s. Glad it is with someone who obviously appreciates it…nice when that happens.

Tyler was a great guy to deal with and no one should have any worries about engaging in a transaction with him.

I had a 56 like yours as well. They are nice shooting old bows. Congratulations I hope you do well with it

That's good all the way around...this means Pdiddly now has a free set of pegs; I'll have to sell him another junky old Howatt to fill the space.

Very nice old bows and good shooters. Next to my ‘57 my ‘56 is my next favorite of the old Bears. Lance
