Bear authority ready to hunt package

[wahunter21]

I'm thinking about getting a new bow. I found a new factory packaged bear authority ready to hunt package for 265.00. Anybody have any opinions? Gonna use it for hunting deer and elk.

That's a crazy price!  Think they were suppose to be $499.

It really is a great shooting bow if your draw length is 29" or less.  The Ready to Hunt packages are very basic/nothing special packages.  But heck - who cares at $265!!

Probably a better bow than I had for my first 20 years of bowhunting.  And I tagged a lot of animals during that time.

Ok now how do I talk the wife into allowing the purchase when we have a baby due in May? 

[RadSav]

You planned the kid around hunting season, but forgot to set the rules for hunting gear?  Sorry buddy...you might be screwed!

[wahunter21]

Well I think I can pull it off.  Specially when I just for hundred dollars for a car seat that's only in the last two years. I think she'll be OK with it but if not might be one of those times where you asked for forgiveness Rather than permission 👍

What better way to say "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY"??

Good Luck.

You cant/won't talk her into it. I'd beg for forgiveness when she found you bought it.

Hmm...Decisions decisions.

Easy call......

Baby due soon, great price,  will not find one that price nor be able to buy ANYTHING post baby. Buy it now.

Well, pulled the trigger. The wife even approved. So it's a done deal. She is the best. I'm excited for a new bow to shoot. Should get it in a week or so

Did you see this on eBay? I got a friend of mine at work who's looking to get into bowhunting but like you, is short on cash and just had a kid. I was going to suggest something used to him to save him a bit but this is a good price!

[wahunter21]

Yes it was on eBay. Through an archery shop in Georgia. He still had some left when I got mine. I just got it today, everything seems to be legit with it. I am gonna get it sighted in asap.

Hi OP and all. My very first post here on WH. I got the exact same bow from the exact same place about 3 weeks ago. Even though I am brand new to archery and hunting so far I like this bow. Thinking about replacing my quiver and the strap but other than that I plan to practice my butt off with it until the season starts. Question did your quiver come without the form insert for the broadheads?

[RadSav]

If it's a Trophy Ridge quiver that Bear puts with the R2H package I believe that has two arrow gripers (5 Spot quiver).  In that case it is a hollow hood with no foam.
