Flowing through northern Michigan with quiet persistence, the north branch of the AuSable River helped shape both the landscape and the archery legacy of Fred Bear.  The Bear North Branch Longbow carries that same sense of balance and intention, blending timeless longbow aesthetics with modern reflex/deflex performance. It’s a bow built for shooters who value smoothness, control, and the kind of confidence that comes from tradition done right.  The 62" North Branch delivers smooth draw characteristics, excellent stability, and forgiving accuracy. Its reflex/deflex narrow limb design provides efficient energy transfer without sacrificing the calm, composed shooting experience traditional longbow shooters crave. This is a bow that rewards clean form and steady rhythm, especially at longer draw lengths.
