That feather rest is neat! I like the arrow displays using old quivers too.

My collection is small compared to many but I'm proud of it and happy to be the caretaker of it while I'm here.

I shoot most of the bows I own and I've hunted with many of them. They are a testament to Fred Bear's commitment to quality and forward thinking.

Some great pics. Good reason to be proud.

Trap, wow those are some nice Bear items.

Is the bow on the bottom picture a Double shelf Kodiak?

I have a Replica of the Compass Bear with dual shelves made by Tim Meigs for Whispering Wind several years ago. It's a great bow, though not really a Bear, it's a replica & I think pretty authentic, made by a very good bowyer Tim Meigs.

Did you all get your new copy of TBM? Old Fred was cool.

It's a great issue! Lots of Bear stuff in this one.

Frank V, Actually, the 3 lowest bows on the rack are dual shelf bows. 1954, 1955 and 1956 Kodiaks

Wow, thanks for sharing Trap you really have some nice Bear gear.
I started with a Bear in the early 60s & am kind of getting back into liking them.

I keep looking at custom bows and then I see post like this one and it makes me want to just keep adding Bears..... Impressive collection!!!

I used to talk with Sterling Harrell when he'd come up for the Great Lakes Longbow shoots in Marshall, Michigan (in the early years). A great guy and quite a "Southern Gentleman"! Horserod

Trap heck of a display!

The Bear bug has kind of bitten me too. I started with a Kodiak Hunter in the early 60s. I foolishly traded it & got out of archery for several years. Then I got back in. I shot Fox longbows, a very nice Norm Johnson Blacktail elite, & more fox longbows, then a Howard Hill longbow. Now I've become more interested in the bows I started with. Last year I hunted with a Bear Grizzly & Howard Hill longbow.

This year I traded for a green Bear Kodiak Hunter & this year my Howard Hill is going to have to share my time with the Kodiak Hunter.

I just picked up my first Bear Super K I'm told its a 71 vintage. 40# @ 28. A little light on the draw weight but sure am enjoying shooting it. I think Im hooked! I let a 40# Kodiak hunter go a few years ago, wished I had kept it. Always wanted a Super K and now I got one. Dont think it will be my last.
