It's good to see that folks are remembering a very important man when it comes to archery. He was also known as a good person in addition to being a heck of an archer and bow hunter.
Happy remembrances of your birth Mr. Fred Bear!
God bless,Mudd

PS I've spent a good deal of time today shooting a Bear Super Mag so I'll think of Mr. Bear with each arrow.

I had the honor of knowing him Roy, and he definitely was a fine man.

I have some dim memories of him on an American Sportsman, I was probably 9 or 10, or I have melded some memories. But I owe him a huge debt of thanks for bringing archery back to a level that allowed me to get hooked while in college.

Happy Birthday Fred.  I tip my hat to you and your (and my) birthplace everytime I drive through Waynesboro.  It was an honor to shake your hand in Harrisburg and although I was just a goofy teenager at the time, I will fondly take the memory of that meeting to my grave. Thank you for tolerating (and answering what must have been way too many questions from) that goofy teenager.  Dad thought it was a pretty special moment as well.  I can only hope that the two of you have had a chance to swap hunting stories.

Rest in Peace.

Mr. Bear did so much for our sport. It is correct that we should remember him.
Rest in Peace.
