Is there anyplace that has pictures or silhouettes of all of Bear bows as a reference tool?

Jorge Coppen has recent Bear book w/ tables, pics, etc. I find myself using it quite often.

Great site if you don't know about it.

Other than that, there's the CD of all the catalogs. Don't know about the book, don't own it...yet

I believe Jorge has the 2nd edition out with several corrections in it. A very helpful and friendly person. bvd

Jorge's book is available on Amazon. It took Jorge many years of research including many conversations with Al Reader and Bear Archery. The photos are beautiful and the details well presented. Every Bear lover needs a copy of this 300+ page dissertation on their shelf. Ray

What exactly do you mean by all Bear bows...pretty clearly Bear made a lot of variations within the models they built...just as an example there are only 3 or 4 known examples of the 56 inch 1959 Kodiak with Maple Sight Window...I suspect Jorge would be the first to say he makes not claim to cover all of the different bows produced by Bear Archery, either in Grayling or Gainesville

Jorge posts on here under the handle 'ArdentArcher' and he makes no claims that he has covered all Bear bows 100%. bvd

It's a great book. Can't even imagine the work that went into it.
