Founded by the legendary Fred Bear, Bear Archery has been creating shootable works of art since before World War II. Fred Bear began crafting bows under the tutelage of Art Young. It only took a few short years for Fred’s passionate hobby to become a full-time endeavor. Holding many, many patents, Bear Archery offers quite a few new cutting-edge recurve bows, while also still making many of the legendary bows form ‘back in the day’. You can truly have the rare opportunity to own the same bow as your father, or even your grandfather, might have used in his youth! Two Bear Archery recurve bows made our top ten list: the Bear Grizzly and the Bear Super Kodia
