I find it very funny that the archery equipment of a former Bear Archery Vice President is sitting in a garage. I guess that is what happens to some of the stuff. I would be interested to know more about KK Knickerbockers life if anyone has info, I am sure he probably had some cool bows.

KK is mentioned in many books about Fred Bear.
I highly recommend that you watch the vintage-bear hunting tapes/videos.
You will see KK shooting along with Fred and others. Quite possibly the very bow in this topic.......Very special footage indeed.....Philip

Wow, what a find!  Great job of restoration Joe.  If that old bow could only talk!  Thanks for sharing the story and pictures.

Phillip-

Yes I have seen and read about KK in the books and films. I was just curious when he died, and it seems like he wasn't mentioned as much after the 60's.
