Any one Use Bear Archery?
« on: July 07, 2014, 11:07:45 PM »
I Bought my first bow a few months back and its a 2009 bear Lights out and im luvN it. Was just wondering if anyone is shooting bear bows, Dont see them mentioned as much as other brands. Ive read some articles and the New 2014 Agenda 7 is sounding pretty sick .

Quite a few of us on here shooting the Bear bows.  Lights Out was a great bow at an even greater value!  I still use the Truth2 Darkhorse (very similar) on a few animals each year and all of my spring turkey the past few years.  If I'm in a blind that is the bow that is usually in there with me.  And who knows :dunno:  It may be the bow I carry during deer and elk season this year as I'm shooting it the best right now!

The new Agenda riser series are all fantastic shooters!  Ugly as sin, but fantastic shooters.  One of the best balanced bows I have shot to date.  And the new cable slide is an industry best!  I personally liked the older Truth2 and Assault grips better than the new ones, but that is a relative statement.  They are making the new bows difficult to attach two piece quivers so I haven't been shooting them as much lately using the CPX Bowtechs instead.  But as far as performance and function the new Bear lineup takes back seat to no-one.  Excellent bows at a very fair price!

If I ever went back to competitive 3-D shooting I'd have a difficult time deciding between the Bear Anarchy and the Hoyt Pro Edge Elite.  Slightly better grip and a much stiffer riser on the Hoyt -vs- a more comfortable weight and good bit more speed even with higher brace height on the Anarchy.  The Bear is good enough that would be a very tough decision for me.  If these Bear bows had a Hoyt brainwash logo on them they would be the talk of the industry and then some.  Although they would cost another 25% more than they do with the Bear logo  :chuckle:  Again...Excellent bows!

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I shoot a 2012 Bear Mauler, I absolutely love the thing.  I took a nice cow elk with it last year.

My second compound was a bear whitetail hunter - weighed about 150 lbs. It was a great bow. The little guy I shoot with has a Bear Apprentice II. Darned good bow to take a kid from beginning to hunting. I haven't tried any others except for one of the recurves and that was excellent.

I shoot an Agenda 6 and have no complaints. Quiet, fast, easy to tune, and their customer service is unreal.

Bear Encounter 2012 with 70 lb limbs.  I'm no expert but it's got the blood of a deer and a tom turkey on it.

Tough to beat a $399 set

2013 70# Bear Encounter, I am not a pro bow person but I have found no faults with this bow.  It sure has a nice feel to it and shoots very quiet and very well.
