Fred Eichler
Fred’s passion for bowhunting has taken him all over the world. He truly believes that any animal with a bow is a trophy, and his personal quest to complete the North American Super Slam with a recurve bow reflects that state of mind. In August of 2009, Fred harvested a cow Tule Elk to become the first person to take all 29 North American big game species with a recurve bow. Fred has been fortunate enough to share his love and enthusiasm of the sport with fellow bowhunters across the country through television shows and personal appearances. If you ever run across Fred in the woods or at your local bow shop, you’ll be greeted with a sturdy handshake and a big smile.
