Does anyone know any information about gene ellis I have one of his bows made in the 60 s in flint michigan gladiator bows made by ellis. I found information that he later went to work for bear archery and was thier factory or line manager. Any information would be great.

I have a Gladiator "Spartacus" and would love to know more about these bows.

I was a neighbor of Gene’s and visited his shop many time. I believe he was at Bear first, then started his own company, Gladiator Bows. It was a garage business for many years, but I cannot say when he stopped as I moved away in 1970.

Gene died just about a year ago. His obituary is here: http://www.horizonfuneralcare.com/single-post/2017/07/30/Gene-Alan-Ellis

That’s about all I can help with.
