I have never seen a four fletch arrow marketed by Bear from any period. I've seen some Magnums and Metric Magnums that were four fletched after market but that's it. There may be some out there but I've seen, owned, and handled a huge number of Bear arrows and have never seen one. GY

I have been shooting recurve bows since late 1969. I used only Bear products for most of those years and I have never seen a 4 fletch factory Bear arrow.

The crest on the arrow in the pic looks like a Bear factory crear similar to many I have owned and seen.

Problem I see is that I only 3 feathers on the arrow in the pic, and, they are all natural barred.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe Bear produced arrows without a distinct 'cock' feather of contrasting color(s).

the feathers are 5" natural turkey, 4 fletch.we live in a rural area that was ans isn't exactly a hot bed for trad archery....so i doubt that he got them locally made ...meaning probably made by  archery co. but which one?sorry for the bad pic...i am not a good photographer.

I've never seen a factory 4 fletch Flu flu's yes 4 fletch no but I bet if you contacted the right person at Bear Archery you may have been able to order 4 fletch.Bear had their name or a trade mark on just about everything they manufactured.I'll try and check some catalogs and see if they offerd a 4 fletch you got me wondering now ??? bd
