That be me! Probably... I used to hang out over on Ohio Sportsman. I bought a Colt Plainsman. Works great, havent killed any deer with it yet though...But fun to shoot...[8D]

I'd say it was well worth the money... No warps,No cracks, couple scratches. Had a string made up for it and bought a dozen wooden arrows with feathers.

Bear Kodiaks are valuable to collectors depending on what year and what poundage. email me with the serial number and picture if possible. The colt is worth probably $75 to $100.
