I just strayed accross this publisher that reprints Bear 1948 thru 1980 catologs. I'm sure there's more like me and not aware they are available. Serch cornellpubs they offer a lot of other reprints also.


Make great X-mas presents!!

Oh yes I've seen them.Some of the collecters however did not like seeing the repro cats.But I had this brain storm to buy several copies of each year and then bind them into one Bear Archery 48-80(I have 1980 thru 2006)Kind of a master catalog as christmas gifts.Good reference...bd

Years aago Joe St. Charles had just such a collections of catalogs. Nice to read.

My favorite was put together by Lonnie Collins it is every page [Joes only included the bows]of every catalog from 1948 to 1978 on CD very user friendly and doesn't take up nearly the space.

Yes I have one of J.StC's original black and white copies myself.I was thinking more along the lines of all color bond into a nice album.bd
