Add You - How To Date Your Fred Bear Bow
The law of demand states that the quantity of a product demanded decreases when the price of that product increases. So when the BMW manufacturer raised the price of their cars over a two-year period, sales should have dropped off. Right?Not exactly. This strategy helped incredibly for BMW sales in South Africa. To keep sales from slipping BMW actually raised the prices in an effort to take on a more upmarket image.A growing number of middle-price brands are under attack from competing products in both the luxury and the discount markets. Customers are moving away from middle-of-the road products in favour of premium products or those offering the lowest prices. The inexpensive supermarket label brands are thriving as is the exclusive ranged products, leaving the average (price and
Prior to 1965, the serial numbers for all Bear bows were started over every month, making these bows almost impossible to date by serial number alone. The "K" series of serial numbers (for example KZ9672) were started in 1970.
2. Patent Mark: Most of the BEAR Bows we have sold have the logo and the US Patents printed on it along with the date of CANADA 1953. This date that is printed on all bows made between 1953 and 1972 is simply the date of the patent
If you are running a home based business and you would like to be able to accept credit cards at all times the best way to do this is to open a merchant account. Many small business and home based business owners assume that this is a very costly service, but it doesn’t have to be. If you know what you need you can shop around until you find the perfect home based business merchant account for your specific needs. Being in touch with what you need is the best way to get started in finding anything for your business, because nothing is one size fits all, including these accounts and account services.The first thing you need to do is consider where and when you will be processing credit cards. Do you plan on supplementing the income you actually make out of your home at trade shows or i
Recently on an out of town trip we stopped by an antique store like we usually do and saw this recurve bow in the corner. Since we were already somewhat familiar with how well bows have sold from selling them for a client we naturally gravitated to it. It looked to be in excellent condition and came with a quiver and 3 different sets of arrows. The asking price was $100.00 and we ultimately got all of it for $75.00.
Based on the dating procedures listed below we determined that this was a Fred Bear Kodiak Recurve bow from 1965 in excellent condition. It was a 60" bow with a 44# pull.
After we got the bow to our store we noticed that inside the big quiver was a smaller single quiver. Based on a light embossed marking on this smaller, leather quiver that we pulled out we were able to date it to the late 1940's.
We decided to break this up into 3 different auctions and started all three at $9.99. The results of the auctions are listed at the end of this article.

DATING YOUR FRED BEAR BOW
There are several features and changes that were made to the bear bows over the years that will help narrow the age of your bow or your potential investment.
1. The Serial Number: These bows usually have, what appears to be a hand inscription on one of the limbs that gives a serial number along with the length and pull weight of the bow. This serial number works very well for dating Bear Bows from 1965-1969 when the first digit of the serial number is the year of manufacture.
For example, a serial number of 5L212 would be a 1965 Bow.
Prior to 1965, the serial numbers for all Bear bows were started over every month, making these bows almost impossible to date by serial number alone. The "K" series of serial numbers (for example KZ9672) were started in 1970.

Right after graduating from the MBA program at MIT Sloan School of Management, Wong could not wait to resume her pre-MBA high-flying career: managing director of one of the largest web solution companies in HK. She took a senior management position from a fast-growing company but within two months she realized something was missing in her original plan: that saying good bye to her then 8 month-old baby every morning and missing him all day was hard. She quit the job and decided to start her own business from home.It was not like any of the ventures she had started before. With a baby at home and another arriving in a few months, this time Wong had very limited resource, mainly time and monetary investment that she could afford on the new venture.After contemplating different busine

Some send an email to the attendees with a link for them to access handouts, graphs, an interactive website, or a power point presentation. Some Teleseminar providers even allow for a real-time presentation for those who have Internet access and choose to utilize it for the presentation. This is done with the use of special software that is shared with the participants to allow them to see the same thing at the exact same time. Some larger companies are doing this on a regular basis with the use of a web-based program such as Web Meeting.It’s only a matter of time before this concept becomes affordable enough for Internet marketers and Teleseminar hosts to use it on a regular basis. This technology has also given profit-seeking entrepreneurs a new way to make money, by selling their produ

The main factors that cause a Small Business to become a Global force are contained within the Goals they set. Small Goals invite small effort. Big Goals inspire a much higher level of performance. Big Goals inspire miracles.In the early days when Bill Gates’ business was small, consisting of just a few people, he set a Goal to have his software on every computer in the world. Remember he started in his garage. Most people at that time would have thought it was not an “achievable” Goal. However, Bill Gates believed it was possible and was fiercely committed to making it happen.It was his burning desire.He was clear about his Goal and now he is one of the richest men in the world, donating Billions of dollars to charity and it’s hard to imagine a world without his products an

Creativity measurement is often required in order to benchmark existing competencies, monitor improvement, increase output and generally provide tangible and useable processes and structures for clients.Individuals can measure their own creativity, the creativity levels of their group, department or organisation.However, a fundamental lack of understanding of creativity and innovation seems to make this a difficult task for many.First, we need to define the difference between creativity and innovation. Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation. This reveals at least two issues:a) Creative measurement requires isolation of problems and ideas.b) Inn
Prior to 1965, the serial numbers for all Bear bows were started over every month, making these bows almost impossible to date by serial number alone. The "K" series of serial numbers (for example KZ9672) were started in 1970.
2. Patent Mark: Most of the BEAR Bows we have sold have the logo and the US Patents printed on it along with the date of CANADA 1953. This date that is printed on all bows made between 1953 and 1972 is simply the date of the patent for a working recurve limb and has nothing to do with the actual model year.
3. Decals & Silkscreening: In 1948 the small Running Bear decal was first and then was replaced by the large Standing Bear decal in mid-1953. The large Standing Bear decal also has the words "Glass Powered Bow" under the Standing Bear.
The large Standing Bear decal was used until 1955 when it was replaced with silk-screening the identification on the bows. By 1956 the silk-screening appeared on all bows.
4. All Wood vs Laminate: If your bow is ALL wood (no laminations of any kind) then your bow had to be made before the mass productions beginning in 1949.
- If the ALL wood bow has a stamp that reads "Bear Products" in some form it would have been made before the early to mid 40's.
- If it is stamped "Bear Archery" it would have been made AFTER the early-mid 40's and BEFORE 1949.
- Also wooden bows with a small "Running Bear" decal can be dated to 1948
6. The Coin Medallion: Beginning in 1959 all Bear bows had a coin medallion of one type of metal or another. Below are the approx date ranges for the type of coin used.
Copper Coin – 1959
Aluminum - 1960-1961
Pewter – 1962
Brass - 1963 – 1970
Nickel-Silver - 1971-1972
ALL coins were flush with the wood until 1972. In late 1972 the coin was raised above the surface of the bow and came in both gold and chrome covered plastic and are still used in Bear bows today.
7. Manufacturer Location: in 1978 Bear moved all manufacturing and offices to Gainesville, Florida. If your bow shows Gainesville on it then it was made after 1978
