From the Class of 2016 we welcome Nebraska Archery Hall of Fame Inductee, Dick Mauch. A close friend and business partner for many years with legendary Fred Bear, Dick played a big part in Bear Archery. A huge part of archery history
Dick Mauch is one of the last of his breed. Not only does he know the story, he also lived it. He walked and worked alongside the pioneers of our sport who were there in the beginning. A man who loves the outdoors, as a hunter he has harvested big game from North America as well as Africa.
Also from the Class of 2016 is Bowyer, Owen Jeffery who will be honored posthumously. Owen also has Bear connections, many of you are familiar with Owens bow design and have probably owned and shot one of his bows in your lifetime. Owen was an avid outdoorsman, hunter and tireless ambassador for the sport of archery.
