the fred bear way Nature can be cruel. Her ways are tooth and claw, starvation and exposure. The hunter is never cruel, and his way delivers a far better end.
We Solemnly Swear: Each Bear bow, no matter how large or small, will be utterly reliable and intensely lethal, capable of harvesting game quickly and ethically. This promise will never change. It’s been our benchmark for more than 80 years, and the guiding principle behind the creation, perfection, and constant refinement of methods and techniques known only within Bear. No other bow feels, functions, or finishes like a Bear. Nothing fulfills your highest expectations in quite the same way.

TECHNOLOGY MEETS TRADITION
We strive to bring the most dependable and reliable bows to market that will instill confidence. Bear Archery meticulously manufactures and assembles every component to ensure your success when that moment of truth presents itself.
LOCK DOWN POCKET SYSTEM A system that incorporates
BEARTRAP TM LIMB POCKET The BearTrap Limb Pocket combines the strength of our metal pocket with the integration of a zero-tolerance boot.

HINGEGUARD TM The HingeGuard consistently reduces
four components which provides the most accurate riser-to-pocket-to-limb alignment in the industry.
ROLLER HINGEGUARD An advancement to the HingeGuard™, the all-new Roller HingeGuard introduces roller bearings at key contact points, reducing friction. VERSAGRIP TM Positive palm weld enables the VersaGrip to fit comfortably, yet provides a smaller profile for reduction in torque.
NAROGRIP TM Fitting your hand precisely, archers can
repeatedly achieve consistant hand placement to ensure an accurate shot every time while reducing torque.

LEGENDS LIVE ON More than 80 years ago, a man named Fred Bear decided to follow his passion and start a bow-making company. He was the ultimate sportsman, skilled and respectful of Mother Nature, and he sought to convey those attributes through the most innovative, satisfying, and effective bows ever made. Today, we are proud to continue what Mr. Bear started and our products are still built by hands he instructed. His spirit, vision, and craftsmanship have stood the test of time. So here’s to you, Papa Bear. Thank you for setting an example for generations of shooters and for sharing the passion that’s still with us today. 39 TRADITIONAL

FUTUREWOOD™ In the 1970s, Fred Bear introduced FutureWood, a manufacturing process that gives completely new physical properties to the wood in the handle section. Because of the high demand from customers, Bear reintroduced the process to the Bear line in 2013. A pressurized vacuum fills all the natural pores in the wood, increasing its weight and strengthening it. After baking, the handle is virtually impossible to warp, check, or crack, and all the grain and original beauty of the natural wood are intact.
BIRTH< M ARKS You may notice some lighter areas on the FutureWood handle of a new Bear bow. These light areas appear only where the natural wood underneath is strongest. Birthmarks give each FutureWood handle section an identity of its own; no two are alike. Birthmarks form where the pores of the natural wood are closest together, thereby filtering out some of the injected material.

Timeless Quality and Styling This 64-inch static tip bow is a rebirth from 1952. Its sleek narrow design is reminiscent of a long bow with a recurve static tip that retains its shape during the draw cycle of the bow packing a powerful punch. The hand-shaped brush nocks and tips combined with the near center-shot design make this a bow for those who want the very best in styling and smoothness.

KODIAK THE RETURN OF THE LEGEND Ask around about Bear bows, and you’ll surely hear tales of the legendary 59 Kodiak. Throughout the years, Bear has been asked time and again to “bring it back.” Out of respect, we were convinced the 59 Kodiak could never, and would never, be duplicated. But, like Mr. Bear himself, we believe in giving people what they want.

The bow’s length handles the swept-back style limbs of the Take-Down, while the grip is designed to feel full in the hand while incorporating the half-moon styling reminiscent of Fred’s favorite bows of the early 60s.

The Super Grizzly’s performance is based, in part, on two layers of lamination in the limbs, creating a better feeling, better shooting bow without hand shock.

BEAR ARROWS BY ROSE CITY Rose City Archery and Bear Archery are partnering to bring you bows and arrows designed by Fred Bear himself and made in the tradition of the golden era of bowhunting. We are duplicating the finest Port Orford cedar arrows to match the entire Bear line of bows, including his famed Grizzly Recurve that Fred shot at targets and on hunts. The new commemorative Bear Arrows box is reminiscent of the box used in 1959, the year Fred Bear hunted and killed an Alaskan polar bear - with a Port Orford cedar arrow. The box keeps fletchings smooth and points in their own compartment, and ships wrapped in craft paper to arrive in a condition worthy of a keepsake.
