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.

The confidence that I have in my equipment absolutely makes ALL the difference in the world . . . and there’s no doubt my Bear bow is going to perform flawlessly for me when it matters!”

- David Blanton

“I always choose Bear, no matter what the hunt! Bear bows are fast, quiet and smooth, but their best quality is being extremely DEPENDABLE in every situation!”

- Jeff Danker

“With my Bear bow I shoot better today than I have ever shot before .With more than 100 World Records and 200 Top 5 Trophy Species from 6 continents, I need performance - my Bear bow speaks for itself!”

- Archie Nesbitt

“As a family we spend hundreds of hours in the field. As hunters we shoot thousands of arrows on the range. In the woods we make countless choices, but when it comes to our equipment we only choose the best, that’s why we choose Bear.”

- The Holder’s

the fred bear way Hunting is a return to man’s natural life: seeking, outwitting and vanquishing a creature larger, stronger and better adapted than himself. There is no greater victory.


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.

•Limb Boot Captures and insulates the limb butt eliminating noise, shock, and vibration. • Patent Pending Half Round When placed under load the patent pending half round clamps the limb and allows zero movement. • Lock Down Washer Precisely aligns the front side of the pocket to the riser . • Tangs Secures the pocket to the riser throughout the entire draw weight change.

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.

ROCKSTOPS TM Adjustable limb stops that form a solid back wall.

SONICSTOPS TM SonicStops are essential in eliminating string vibration and noise at the point of origination. /// B E A R A R C H E R Y . C O M

SONICBONDS TM Dampening integrated into risers and

pockets eliminate noise at the source.

SHOCKWAVES Limb dampener device eliminates vibration and shock.

lateral torque at all draw weights using mechanical displacement and adds forgiveness in the shot.

ENDURAFIBER TM LIMBS These limbs provide unmatched flexibility and rigidity and allow for maximum weight adjustability for a customized fit for any shooter. The unique shape of the limb creates a reliable load distribution.

SONICKNOTS TM String dampening that also provides incremental speed.

DRAWDIAL TM Rotating modules that adjust to each individual shooter without using a bow press. DRAWDIAL EZ VIEW TM Rotating modules that offer maximum adjustability in draw length ranges and an EZ View for aligning individual settings. MAX PRELOAD QUAD LIMBS TM Designed to evenly

distribute load across the entire limb surface which optimizes the geometry for extremely efficient performance.

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 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.
