Bear Archery Take Down Latch Kit

Bear Archery is a manufacturer and marketer of bows and archery equipment located in Gainesville, Florida. The company was founded in 1933 as the Bear Products Company in Detroit by Fred Bear and Charles Piper. The initial focus was on silk-screening and advertising support work for automotive companies. In 1938 Fred Bear hired Nels Grumley, a woodworker and bowyer, and the company expanded to offer hand-made bows. Fred Bear sold the advertising side of the Bear Products Company in 1940. The archery business was named 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 in a growing archery market. Bow manufacturing changed from hand-made bows to mass production using fiberglass and other modern materials.
