I think your right bob, I remember reading something about that in "I remember Papa Bear" the biography of Fred Bear.

Which is probably why I thought he was shooting a Bear bow. This was close to 44-years ago but I think the bow was white with a fairly heavy riser. (The Shakespeare is white).

He did an ad for the first Ben Pearson compound bow in the 60s.  The ad made a lot of references to his Star Trek role.  I thought it was interesting.

@Double Eagle . . .the correct answer would be..... "Mike Dtika . . . . Daaaaa Bears!"  (Kudos to SNL).

Kingsnake

Shatner did a black bear hound hunt that was written up in Bow and Arrow magazine. I believe he was carrying a Bear Magnesium Take Down on that hunt.

to funny!!

Captain Kirk before the darkside of compounds


But a true trad archer was Robert "Man from UNCLE" Vaughn:

Crazy stuff. Ol'Burt was a BAD MAN in Deliverance. And lets keep our fingers crossed that none of develop target panic as bad as Jon Voight did during his archery kill in Deliverance.     rat'
