Happy birthday sir! I am about to order one of the new takedowns, but something doesn't feel right with you gone. Maybe I gcould find a used one.
I'm hunting with a late 60's Bear Grizzly and I love that bow! Who knows......it may have actually been touched by the Man himself?
Nah, he was probably up north somewhere pokin' bears with a sharp stick! :saywhat:

Thank-You for all that you did to promote traditional archery and for those old Kodiak Specials.....they are just as sweet today as they were when they were made over 50 years ago.

Happy Birthday,Fred Bear...Flinging a few today in your honor from a Grizzly! :archer2:
Amen to what others have said.
My first bow was a Bear Grizzly so I guess I could say that Fred kinda helped me get started about 42 years ago.
Listened to Uncle Ted's Fred Bear song earlier. Gave me chills. To the visionary, the innovator, the adventurer, ... the legend, the man. Fred Bear. Happy birthday. (should be a holiday!)
Will try to do the same. Happy Birthday.
