Fred Bear got me into bowhunting when I was about 8 or 10 years old (1956 or 1958). He' d come to Milwaukee to visit friends and busniness associate That own Whiffen Archery. I did mostly rabbit and pheasants hunting at first. Then in 1964 Deer hunting.
I actually got to meet him in 1982 and talked with him for almost an hour, one on one. Great man. I' ve been bow hunting now for about 45 years.
