Meet The Team
Justin Cannaday - President & CEO
"I started this company because there is a disconnect in the archery industry. You either have to go to a big box store and hope they know what they are doing, or go to a small shop that does great work but is expensive because they have the responsibility to keep the lights on. I concentrate on what matters - the archer, the hunter, the kid who wants to be like his dad. At Bear River I hope to bridge that gap and bring high performance equipment at fair prices along with not only the knowledge, but the want to help people succeed. My time with my customers may be limited, but success pictures in the field will last forever for them and it is my responsibility to make sure they are ready for the opportunity to be able to take that picture one day."
