Ay-yi-yi!

Charlie Palmer (right), Chairman of Gainesville, Florida-based Fred Bear Equipment Co., is shown presenting Actor/Director Burt Reynolds with a Fred Bear TakeDown traditional bow in recognition of the 30th Anniversary of the release of the film "Deliverance." Bear Archery provided technical consultants (including Fred Bear, himself) as well as bows, arrows and accessories used in the making of the 1972 award-winning film, in which Reynolds starred. The commemorative TakeDown is now on permanent display at the Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum, located at 100 North U.S. 1 in Jupiter, Florida. Hundreds of unique items are on display at the museum, including the canoe used in the making of Deliverance (shown behind Reynolds and Palmer). The Fred Bear Equipment Co. is represented by such well-know archery brands as Fred Bear, Jennings, Golden Eagle, Buckmasters®,  Brave and Satellite.

Vittorio Frangilli of Italy mentioned that in order to train for the World Field Championships in Canberra, Australia, 2002,   his son (and world champion several times over) Michele Frangilli went undercover downunder to do some special training before the event.   This picture was recently released showing Michele on location doing serious training for the World Field Event!

 

 

Rick Stonebraker was competing in the Clout competition at the US NAA
Nationals in Canton during July, 2002. Shooting 165 meters distance, 6
arrows per end, Rick managed to cut the clout flag in half, and then on the
very next arrow, split the remaining stub!

In 2004 at the Alamo Area JOAD's Clout Tournament, Rick once again hit the clout stick from 165 meters out - unfortunately they had used a steel rebar for the stick, so the arrow was a complete writeoff!
