 Based upon your answers I think you are good to go. I would however tell you in my option based on years and years of shooting trad bows you really should pick one bow to shoot and hunt with for the year. It is very difficult to shoot two Stickbows with your aiming or non aiming style and if your kodiak is 45 at 28 and you get a honest 29 your getting at least 48 but closer to 50 I bet shoot with back tension do not collapse your anchor at release. Get the bow tuned and silent with a low brace height. Get some woodlie weights to increase fox,7 but remember you have to increase spine as you increase foc. I assume your shooting 60_65 spine for your kodiak will have to go higher as you increase foc. That kodiak will kill anything in north America at your draw if set up right. Keep em sharp good luck.

Fantastic insight Timbuckto!! Honestly the Kodiak is a much smoother shooting bow. Thanks again for all the feedback!

1964 kodiak is a great bow you couldnt do a much better. I would chrono the two bows with arrows at 11gpi. Get a 10 strand string for that as well maybe even 8.
