Post by: mickeys4 on February 26, 2010, 12:29:00 PM
Nice segment on Michigan Outdoors about Fred Bear Memorabilia ,great interview of owner.Did anyone know that in a peak year Bear Archery turned out 350,000 bows.Almost 1000 per day.No wonder there are sooo many Bear bows floatin' around.

Thanks for sharing the link. I was watching the show and got called away, so I missed that segment entirely. Really nice. Pete Kocefas talked about how Fred was thought of as a pretty nice guy by everybody. Well I can tell you that Pete is an all around nice guy and is very generous with his time. He is very gracious giving time to show his collection to whoever stops in the shop, and he always seems to have a few minutes to talk about Bear Archery. Really nice guy and a great member of the community up there.
