The Pope & Young Club is proud to announce Bear Archery’s support of the club through our Corporate Partner Program! Bear Archery has proven their commitment to protecting, promoting, and preserving the passion for bowhunting by becoming a PLATINUM level Corporate Partner!

“Our team is proud to venture into this new chapter for both brands. The Pope & Young Club and Bear Archery go way back into the early days of both brands. We look forward to supporting each other and working to preserve the future of the archery industry.” -Alec Wyman

More than 85 years ago, a man named Fred Bear decided to follow his passion and start an archery company. He believed a quality bow should be accessible to all people no matter their age, gender, or economic status. He believed the finest trophies are not always in the harvests, but in the memories of fellowship and the great outdoors. At Bear Archery, we promise to never forget the principles our brands were founded on - to create utterly reliable, intensely lethal archery equipment, capable of harvesting any game in a quick and ethical fashion. We are Bear Archery. This is The Fred Bear Way.

The Clubs Corporate Partner Program allows manufacturers the opportunity to help P&Y protect, promote, and preserve the passion for bowhunting and ensure bowhunting opportunities for today, and tomorrow. We have given more than 1 million dollars to conservation and education programs across North America. Our conservation programs include Wild Harvest Initiative, Isle Royal Moose Study, Farmers, and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, National Wildlife Federation Howe Peak/Deadman Sheep Endowment Fund, Jack Creek Preserve Foundation, the Bitterroot Elk Project, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, American Wildlife Conservation Partners, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Orion - The Hunters Institute, National Conservation Leadership Institute, National Bowhunter Education Foundation, U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance, National Archery in the Schools program, Scholastic 3-D Archery, Mule Deer Foundation, Wyoming Male Mule Deer Study and Winter Range Study, and many others.

“Seeing a company like Bear Archery with such a rich history in bowhunting come on as a corporate partner is huge for all bowhunters! Fred Bear helped pave the way for us as bowhunters, and was a huge supporter of the club himself, and Bear Archery strives to carry out the legacy that Fred Bear has left.” -Dylan Ray
