I am impressed.You guys are really on the ball.

Everyone is answering correctly tonight.

A record, four posts in a row above with no incorrect answers (although some are incomplete). I'm having a trouble coming up with the proper scoring credit for #19, but will get to that tomorrow.  

Question #21 - Name yet another (third) document and year that also has a cover photo of Fred with a Prototype Super Kodiak and describe the differences between that bow and a production Super Kodiak...

[Wade Phillips]

Question #22 - Post a photograph of Fred Bear with a prototype Take Down and one of his North American animals.

You must post the photograph and state the correct year the animal was taken and explain how the bow differs from a production take down.

#22

 
1968 - This T/D I believe employs basically the final latch design, however the sockets are simpler. I have never seen one in person, but they appear to be more handmade and not nearly as strong as the production model. I am not positive, but most of these protos do not have the typical V-accent in the riser, and I believe many or most or all are Black Walnut. This proto is before the Walnut with V accent that Fred was using in the 1969 ads. It is akin to the handle Dick Mauch used to shoot a Leopard, I think. Wade, I believe you have either the handle Dick used or one very similar in your collection?

[Missaukee]

As far as my involvement in #19, I am frustrated that I am away from home and books, and just had to answer what I could for 19, expecting no points.

Missaukee - Your answers are impressive especially considering you do not have access to your books. You should probably get extra credit for all of your additional text, which is amazing accurate.

You can go to the head of the class right behind bowhawk archer.

You two guys are really on a roll.

Great work.

Hopefully the Udpated results above is accurate.

There are still 5 unsolved questions...

[tuscarawasbowman]

Misaukee- You need to resize your pic. Would hate to see such a nice pic get pulled.

[Missaukee]

I tried resizing the pic, actually I made it nearly microscopic in photobucket. But, it still is large when I copy the IMG code. And yes it is the code for the newly resized pic. Oh well, I deleted so I do not get in trouble.

Try a shot at #21.  The third document was the 1967 1/2 Bear catalog. The difference was that in 1968, the Super Kodiak had a phenolic handle with Rosewood caps.

[wadde]

I should get a half point for question 19 as I added the year.

I'll let you and Missaukee come to an agreement and decide how the point for #19 should be credited, split or whatever.

Question #23 - Is Fred Bear pictured anywhere with a dog? If so, name the owner, the dog and two places where the picture appears in printed documents. You need all the answers to be correct to get any credit. This point will not be split up.

[bowhawk archer]

#23  The dogs name is Scot.  Owner is Fred Bear. Appears in "Fred Bear Biography" page 8, and in "Hunt With Fred Bear" page 3.
