Bear Archery Kodiak Special Compound Bow RH
Bear Archery was founded by Fred Bear and Charles Piper in Detroit Michigan in 1933 as the Bear Products Company. The initial focus was on silk-screening and advertising support work for automotive companies. In 1938 Bear hired Nels Grumley, a woodworker and bowyer, and the company expanded to offer hand-made bows. Nels was a fantastic craftsman, and his skills were reflected in the quality of the bows he made. Early on each and every bow which Nels made was either stamped or signed with his name, along with the words "Bear Products by Grumley" or "Bear Archery by Grumley". Fred Bear sold the advertising side of the Bear Products Company in 1940 to focus on archery. The archery business was renamed Bear Archery. In 1947 the company moved to a new facility in Grayling, Michigan. The Grayling plant focused on making and marketing recurve bows and longbows. After observing Ben Pearsons successful efforts to machine make bows, Bear changed from hand-made bows to mass produced bows using fiberglass and other modern materials. this bow Shows Bear Archery in Graylin Michigan, show AMO Compound String Length 37" serial # KS-21633C, cool bow to add to your collection so get your bid on now!!! refer to pictures when bidding this lot.
