Inspired by the waters that inspired Fred Bear, the South Branch Longbow pays tribute to one of Michigans legendary AuSable River branches. This is the same river where Fred Bear spent countless days fishing, reflecting, and shaping his legacy in the outdoors. Built with the timeless craftsmanship Bear Archery is known for, the South Branch features a sleek low-wrist, thin grip crafted from Bolivian Rosewood and Hardrock Maple, paired with a reflex/deflex narrow limb design and fiberglass-reinforced tips for smooth, confident shooting. Measuring 58 inches, the South Branch offers a compact, responsive feel that stays true to traditional roots while delivering modern performance.
