Part of our River Series Longbows and inspired by the waters that inspired Fred Bear, the Mainstream Longbow pays tribute to one of Michigan's 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 Mainstream 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 60 inches, the Mainstream delivers a balanced, versatile feel that honors traditional roots while offering dependable modern performance.
