The 59 Kodiak is awesome. Shot it over 50 times today. Could not be more pleased with this bow.

I had to wait for this bow because Guidfitters was out of stock. I almost purchased a different recurve. I'm so glad I didn't. This bow was worth the wait, When I took it to the bow shop to get it set up, it garnered a lot of attention from workers and customers alike. After seeing this bow and finding out where I got it, one Veteran indicated that he was going join Guidfitters and purchase one of these bows. He, as well as myself, love the purple heart aspect of this bow.

The bow itself has a sleek, warm and beautiful look to it. It shoots absolutely flawlessly. It shoots better than I can anyway. Took it out today for the first time after being set up, and sent about 50 arrows down range. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and accurately it performed. Overall, I am well pleased with everything about this bow. I can't find any negative to say about it.

I purchased this bow for hunting deer. I've bagged several deer including three trophy bucks with my compound bows, but I have never shot one with a recurve, something I've always wanted to do. Now, I have that chance. My next purchase...The long Bow!

The one thing you'll need with the 59 Kodiak recurve is a bow stringer for it. I think it's an absolute must. Unless you know alot about bows you can damage it if you don't use a bow stringer, and those who know a lot about bows probably already have one.

If you don't know a lot about these bows, do yourself a favor, before doing anything with it, take it to a bow shop and have it professionally set up, including Arrows, Broadheads and Field tips. Getting the right set up recipe is imperative with any bow. In this case, doing so will allow you to experience the pleasure of shooting a high quality work of art, in reminiscence of the 1959 Kodiak recurve. If you're a disabled vet, this purple heart addition is just a nice touch to this bow.

I don't know what else to say. I like quality, I like looks, I like performance, The 59 Kodiak fits the bill.
