MADE IN THE USA
THE FRED BEAR WAY
At the age of 29, a man named Fred Bear embarked on his first hunt, igniting a passion for bowhunting that would later define his legacy. In 1933, this passion led him to start his own company where he created revolutionary products - his most famous being the first fiberglass take-down bow - that pioneered the way for modern bowhunting. Today, some refer to him as "the Father of Modern Bowhunting," but to us at Bear Archery, he'll always be Papa Bear.
As a renowned bowhunter and avid outdoorsman, Fred believed the finest trophies are not always in the harvests but in the memories of fellowship surrounded by the great outdoors. He devoted his life to sharing his love for bowhunting and creating utterly reliable, intensely lethal archery equipment capable of delivering the ultimate archery experience for people of all ages.
At Bear Archery, we promise to uphold the principles our brands were founded on - passion for the outdoors, respect for the game pursued, and a goal to make archery accessible to all. This is The Fred Bear Way.
We are Bear Archery - proudly crafting our bows in Gainesville, FL, USA.
