I was curious as to how many here may have also been members of the Fred Bear Sports Club back in the day?

Here's one....boy, that was a while ago.  

I was as well, I also took these pictures of an old pillow case in a cabin last fall at Bears paw landing near Wapigoon Ontario with the fred bears sportsman club hand written on it and quite a few signatures under that. There hard to read but if you look close you may recognize one or two!

I still have my patches and chevrons.  I think I was charter member, number 8023.

I still have my certificate that was signed by Fred and Dick Lattimer.  My membership patch is attached to the back of my Bisongear Elk pack!

Here is one also. Man that was a long time ago. Somewhere I still have my patch from that.

I found an old newsletter from the FBSC in one of my hunting books the other day. I have an arrow case with the decal still on it.

"Charter" member here !

Tried a very costly attempt at bringing the club back recently with a partner. Not only did I receive a letter of cease and desist, but Bear also went after my company name.  We were trying to keep Fred's memory alive and promote archery. I had to sign a settlement today even after agreeing to give up the club basicly making my small archery business void from further sales of archery equipment to avoid law suits. I feel sad for those who were once members and those who may have been potentially turned on to archery through club promotions in the sport. It's a shame that members were abandoned in 2003, and realization that the club will never be again.

I think I was a member.

seems like we shot a weekly league match.  If you got reckless you could end up with a negative score.
