In 1933, Fred Bear joined a partnership that produced advertising materials for the automobile industry. When he wasn't working he crafted archery equipment for a group of friends that was quickly growing. Within six years the archery business demanded all of Fred's time so he quit his job and launched Bear archery. Fred went from making bows for friends in 1933 to going on hunting and film making expeditions and having a very successful company in 1947. Fred remained active in hunting and crafting bows until his death in 1988.
Bear archery says that each bow is very reliable and it is lethal. The bows were capable of a quick kill they have been creating and perfecting them for 80 years.
