It looks like it's strung backwards in that last picture

Can you post some more pics of the bow. I haven't ever seen a Kodiak longbow I'm familiar with the Ranger model made in the 50s. I've had a bunch of Kodiaks from the 50s but none older than about 54.

Sure. Itll be later today or tomorrow.

I flubbed up on the second reloop. I think I went too fast or something. The base of the loop wont stay wound and all the twists transfer to the string. Maybe I should bake some crow and learn how to serve.

That bow sure looks to be strung backwards!!!!

If it is, it's no wonder your string won't stay on!

you twisted the string the wrong way when making loop

Thanks. Im gonna piddle with the string and see if I can get it right.

Definitely not strung backwards. Maybe why this '54 Polar was last production year straight longbow before being manufactured as a semi recurve.

bring that bow to GG on Thursday!

In that pic, that string loop is on that limb tip backwards!

If you were closer I would tell you to bring it over and I would make you a new string. I am hesitant to twist one up without having the bow here to get the loops the correct size though.

I have to agree with the other guys though, it sure looks like you are trying to string that bow with the glass side as the belly and not the back and why you are having issues. Can you post any more pictures of that bow? I tried to Google it but couldn't find a good picture.

Incorrect. It had me wondering...am I supposed to bend the darn thing back against the curve of the bow?....Nope.
