THE LEGEND CONTINUES
THE LEGEND CONTINUES Bear Archery grew out of the life and work of legendary sportsman Fred Bear. Fred was our friend, mentor, hero and pioneer; he paved the way for generation after generation of traditional bow hunters. Fred founded Bear Archery in 1933 which quickly flourished due to his dedication and passion for archery and the outdoors. Seventy-eight years later, Fred’s legacy continues. His determination and inspiration are felt by each and every employee at Bear Archery, which is why we continue to craft the highest quality bows. This year we are proving that the ambition and spirit of a man that once walked these halls is alive and well at Bear Archery. We take great pride in knowing that our bows still come off the same presses that Fred designed and used during his time. These bows are still hand-crafted the same way they have been for years. We are thankful everyday that Mr. Bear turned his passion into his career and his visions into reality, paving the path for todays traditional bow hunters. We are reminded of his continuing legacy everyday as we strive to honor the pioneer of traditional archery Mr. Fred Bear.

The design stuck and it has been around ever since. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the famous Kodiak Magnum. In honor of this historic event we put everything back into this bow, so it would be a near perfect match to the original. The high leather classic side plate is back along with the silver medallion. Good luck telling this apart from one of 50 years ago. Features • 52” AMO length • Semi gloss finish • Crowned, cut-past center arrow shelf with Bear Hair Rest and classic high leather side plate. • Dynaflight 97 Flemish Twist string (green and white) Construction The 1-piece riser construction is made from exotic bubinga wood and capped with white and green glass. The limbs are overlaid with clear maple and backed and faced with high strength Grayling Green fiberglass. The tips are handcrafted with layered green and white fiberglass allowing the use of today’s modern bow strings.

The excitement built around this bow was so great that a 1967-1/2 catalog was printed just to introduce this new bow. The same design and craftsmanship has stayed true over the past 44 years making this bow a legend just like the man who once mastered it. Fred used this model bow for many years on quests for African lion, cape buffalo, Alaskan polar bear and the British Columbia grizzly bear. Still to this day the Super Kodiak is one of the smoothest, finest shooting bows available. GRAYLING GREEN SUPER KODIAK Construction The 3-piece riser construction of the Super Kodiak is made from exotic bubinga wood. Limbs are overlaid with clear maple and backed and faced with high strength “Grayling Green” fiberglass.

They seem to come in all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds. Inwardly they seem to have in common a love for the outdoors, a reverence for wildlife, and a close tie with history. There is nothing they seem to enjoy more than telling tall tales around a campfire or talking about archery to others. It would be difficult to find a more interesting group of people" - Fred Bear.

Bear brought about many innovations to the archery industry, but perhaps his proudest moment came in 1969 when production first began on his famous TakeDown recurve bow. The classic design was years ahead of it's time and still to this day you hear people saying there simply is no finer TakeDown. Not only does this bow pack easy, but it shoots and feels like a dream. This legendary, but modern design is available in both A and B riser’s giving you plenty of versatility. Mr. Bear hunted with this bow almost entirely until his last hunt.

Over 40 years later it remains a proven product for those who need a short hunting bow no matter the situation. irst introduced in 2002 the Cheyenne project was brought about between father and son. Grant Neil Byce II came out of retirement to work on this special project with his son Grant Neil Byce III, currently Bear Archery's Operations Manager. This bow is built for hunting out of ground blinds, tree-stands or shooting carp out of a Jon boat.

Nine years later the relationship between Bear and Byron is stronger than ever. he 64” Montana Long Bow was first introduced in 1998 and has become a very popular addition to an already proven line-up.

The Grizzly is one legendary bow that has been proving itself since 1950 and is still to this day an important offering in our traditional line up. Mr. Bear made the last design change to the Grizzly in 1964 and we aren’t planning on changing that any time soon. east your eyes upon this, new for 2011, the Super Grizzly. This bow was first introduced in 1973 and was only manufactured until 1976. The Super Grizzly is known by its distinctive “Team Bear Crusader Red Regimented Stripe and bow tip”, at least that is the way it was described back in the 70s. What makes the Super Grizzly “Super” besides its distinct appearance? The Super Grizzly's performance is extraordinary, having 2 layers of lamination in the limbs gives you a better feeling, better shooting bow without hand shock. The performance is so outstanding we suggest you get your hands on one of these soon, because just like in the 70s, who knows how long they will be available. This value priced bow is designed for big performance that will go easy on anyone’s budget. Whether you are new to traditional archery or an expert, the Grizzly is a sure shooter for any skill level.

Over 45 years later your youngster can still have a laminated bow of adult quality just like mom and dad’s. This is a smooth shooting youth bow and is great for teaching archery fundamentals the right way.
