That was Great.. I had to watch it a few times. I also saw that Fred releases at the front of His face, Not the corner of His mouth. Anyone else see that?

I can't thank you enough for sharing that with us!!

A piece of history and not just of archery but of one of those persons who helped make our country what it is today.

Mr. Bear was and still is a blessing to all who watch and listen to what he has/had to say.

Thank you again!!!

God bless,Mudd

That is really cool, glad you found it & shared it with us.

Thank you sir.    :pray:  

I met Fred in 1978 with my Grandfather in the Ace Hardware store in town, I swore I was looking at a God back then.

Fantastic! I guess I can't sell my Bear Montana bow now. Even though he shot a recurve, I like the little peice of history that I have. I have been shooting for two years. The more I look at the history of the sport, the more I like it. Thanks for putting the link to the video out there.

Fantastic! I have a friend that shoots just the way Fred did. I do believe that he did snap shoot and released from in front of his face. I feel that we as Traditional archers owe a lot to folks like Fred Bear.

What a great piece, something that can be shared with young bowhunters today.

I could honestly watch hours and hours of nothing but Fred talking about the sport of archery.

Sal,
Fred was an admittedly hopeless snap shooter and he has described his shooting technique before in several places.  Thing is he releases the same place and was a very good shot with this technique.  Very different than target panic which afflicts a lot of people who release quickly.

Like everyone else, I thoroughly enjoyed the video. He appeared to be in good health, despite his age. A real gentleman and sharp as a tack. Thanks for sharing.

I'm always amazed at how vulnerable he was as that Kodiak moved into bow range.  Very humble fellow.

Yeah mysticguido, I noticed that Fred draws to the front of his face and NOT the corner of his mouth.... I noticed that on his video's too.... very interesting !!!!!!!!


I shoot a Bear Kodiak T/D recurve......I think it was the best T/D design ever produced...quick to T/D and easy to transport.... quick and easy to put together in the field..no tools necessary.....

SHOOTS CONSISANTLY TOO !!!!

Cudos to the man and the legand   :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:      ...Glad he praised Bilderback too....he was quite a guide....especially on that Brown Bear hunt...
