I have the bear charge and i love it, great bow for the money, the only thing i dont care for on the newer line of bear bows is they have the tendency to chew up your strings. I have heard this from multiple other guys at machias and kenmore as well. But with that being said i bought mine very lightly used and have shot over 500 arrows through it and my strings are still in decent condition but will be repalced after this season for sure.
