The most complete display of Fred Bear’s Broadheads includes many of Fred Bear’s personal broadheads and arrows. Included are Fred’s first broadhead 1932, the broadhead he used to take his first deer with in 1935, his oldest known completely intact big game hunting arrow, the arrow he used to kill his fallow deer, a Bear Giant Razorhead that he took on his successful Polar Bear hunt.
This Fred Bear display will at the 10th Annual Compton Rendezvous in Michigan in June. It is greatly expanded from the photograph below and now includes Fred’s 1945 Moose Arrow, photographs of all seven of his one-time world record big game animals as well as many other rare Fred Bear items. It’s been an honor and a privilege to have acquired these items, created this display and documented each of these items, and to be able to share the display with others.
