Fred Bear- The Sportsman Channel (Dish Network)

[BillW]

I have talked to a couple of the guys from the Bear factory at Kzoo and Compton that were on the show. I thought they were very respectful of Fred and it touched me how they made it clear that they missed him.

I had a friend that passed away and he affected me that way so I gut a bit chocked up hearing them because I could see and knew how they felt.

By the way, I will own a 59 reproduction (or whatever they call it) one day. These guys are doing good.

Who's got a copy they can share or sell me?  I missed it getting stuck at work and not realizing it was Eastern time. Forgot to DVR.

Remember --   there are a ton of other bowhunters who don't even know who Fred Bear was. Remember he passed in 1986--
This show was seen by millions of viewers--  
if it lighted just one spark--   a good thing-- !
It was well done, and you can see the passion and love these guys had for Fred=--=   in his day- Bear Archery  Did about  32 million a year.  Today that would be about 320 million--  
I like the part saying, they are still using the old presses Fred used. I did not even know that.
Weather old or new--   there is another generation coming--   lets embrase that--  
it all counts--  
Remember  Bear is publicly owned--  so the boys need to show that it can work and that there is a market for thier bows, not an easy sell.
Lets support them and thank all involved--  
I know Fred would want that --
