    i got my first trad bow , and i love it. it's a Bear Super Kodiak 2007, 50#'s @28. it's used but i got it much cheeper than a new one, shoots with authority and is very smooth. i have my dads old damon howatt, but it's actually still his :) so this is my first, love it , can't wait for next season, just thought i'd share

    Nothing wrong with a used bow! Congratulations!

    It's (traditional) not for everyone.....but it sounds as if you've got the bug. Welcome to the addiction. Looking forward to following along as you learn the ins and outs.

    Again....not for everyone. But for me (and a LOT of others....whom you'll find in this forum), it's the ONLY way, now. I hope you love it as much as we all do.

    Again.....welcome to the addiction. Sounds like you got a nice bow to get you out there and shooting!

    Congrats! Good looking bow! Get a hold of Oliverstacey(Josh) or LBR(Chad) on tradgang, they both make great strings. Pic your colors and it will jazz it up a little! Look into some Hush Puppies and Bow Hush and your set, they did wonders for my kids Kodiak Magnum, whisper quiet!
