Fred Bear, born in Waynesboro, PA, left his family farm at 21 to pursue opportunities in Detroit’s growing auto industry. A documentary on the bowhunting adventures of Art Young ignited a fire in Fred’s imagination. Soon, he learned to craft his own bows, arrows, and bowstrings under the tutelage of Art Young. In time, the archery business demanded Fred’s full-time attention and he launched the Bear Archery Company during the Great Depression. Over the next two decades, Bear traveled the world on bowhunting and filmmaking expeditions.
