I couldn't add this down in the Pioneer forum, so it's here. Thanks for those posts about Fred Bear! My Granddad taught archery in the phys ed dept at North Texas State U back in the 50's & early 60's and knew Fred. When we would go visit, he'd tell me, "go look in my closet and see what Fred sent me!" There was usually a recurve or a new set of arrows. I spent my days there shooting targets, leaves, terrorizing the squirrels, and breaking arrows in the back yard. Reading the words of others who knew Fred Bear brought me back many wonderful memories of my Pop. Thanks again.
