EVANSVILLE, IN – Bear Archery announced today the partnership with bowhunter Beka Garris for 2018. Garris will provide social media and blog support for Bear Traditional Bows, Bear Compound Bows, Trophy Ridge Accessories, and Cajun Bowfishing.

“I have always been fascinated by traditional archery, and when I finally took the plunge it was Fred Bear who inspired me,” says Beka Garris, a traditional bowhunter and avid bowfisher. “Although I never met him, I strive to be the true hunter and conservationist that he was. I never expected to be a part of Fred Bear's legacy and I am extremely excited and humbled to represent these great brands.”

Founded by the iconic father of modern archery, Fred Bear in 1933 with the intention of bringing archery to the masses, Bear Archery produces legendary bows with the same focus on reliability and technology while maintaining its rich heritage of innovative leadership, quality products, and family values.

A division of Bear Archery, Trophy Ridge continuously works to develop easy-to-use tools for precision and performance including sights, arrow rests, quivers, and stabilizers. After only two pin adjustments, Trophy Ridge’s exclusive React Technology™ automatically sights in your pins. Beka Garris will also represent Cajun Bowfishing, which specializes in bowfishing bows, arrows, points, line, and various types of reels.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Beka Garris,” says Dave Parker, Bear Archery General Manager. “Beka has a great presence on social media and we are confident that our partnership will not only provide support to our brands but will also encourage new archers to get involved in the sport we love. She will also contribute to our all-new blog at beararchery.com, which will enable us to extend our presence online even further.”

Beka Garris, who boasts tens of thousands of followers on Facebook and Instagram, is an avid bowhunter and bowfisher. She enjoys sharing her hunts and meals on social media.
