History of the Bow by Fred Bear Part 3 of 3 

lucky to have had him teach me to shoot. family worked for him many years. great man. funny too. thanks for posting. cool to see.

I could listen to this man talk all day.

What a very fascinating man!!!! Full of soul and character. Must also mention, he has that "Good Old American Ingenuity" spirit. People like him made America Great! I like you Mr. Fred Bear. Thank for sharing this wonderful video with us ClassicBowHunts!!! Love Retlaw

These are national treasures!

Unfortunately Fred left his roots in Michigan and settled his business in Florida. My first deer taken, with a Fred Bear recurve bow, was on a full run through an oak forest in northern Michigan, I dropped the doe with one arrow.

The man is an icon. Legendary!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. There’s a world of people out there dying to learn, And your time and wisdom is better than any book I could ever read.

Wow his humbleness it's admirable. God bless this man

One regret is never getting a chance to meet Fred Bear, this was such an enjoyable video(s), thanx for downloading sunaj

great series.

That was awesome! Thank you so much for posting this. It had not dawned on me that Fred Bear was a left handed archer like I am. I shoot in the exact same way as he described on Part 2. Simply awesome, I hope to be an accomplished archer/bowyer as he was. My only regret is never having the chance to meet the man. I hope some day Ayala-Toro Bows and Flutes will be known across the land if even only a fraction of what he accomplished! :)

This is great! have been shooting since 1957 and this is the first time I have heard Fred's voice. Loved it

Well I'll be, I'm a snap shooter too..

Awsome person

fred bear, u and me share a love of archery... i will do everything with your words empowering me. we will go places. ive never met you but that sounded just like something i would say. i love you man. happy b day i will make you proud. you fuel my life and are amazing in all ways. we r one. together i will rise...you will rise... i will create a new era. we r one

Man what a wealth of knowledge I wish I could have known him

The Story’s he could have told us 👍🏻. A Blessed Man . Had a interesting Life!

fantastic. thank you

Awesome, just awesome!

he was really carrying the mail. lol

i wonder how well fred could shoot a modern compound with fingers.. of course trying to find one long enough axle to axle so he would not get finger pinch maybe hard.. when fred was alive i can only imagine the Onita ( i think that was the name.. no cams just strings etc.. names like the eagle, king fisher.. and back then i think the bow fishermen loved them. always wanted to get one to have restored just to see how they shoot since im a stick guy myself. ) was probably the smoothest finger shooter of his time.

thank-you!

Fred Bear did his hunting with heavy bows. He sharpen his arrows and develop his style from shooting/hunting with 65-70 lbs bows. Today people try to copy his way of doing things shooting/hunting with 35-40 lbs bows?

A tiger... Dude killed a tiger with a bow... He may be Chuck Norris' real dad.

Let's just ignore he said that 6:47 and not ruin this good thing...
