Bear Assault Review

I’ve been using my assault since i bought it new back 2012. I’ve harvested some nice bucks with it. It hasn’t let me down yet. Its very user friendly with a smooth draw and a nice quiet release. I highly recomend it for all levels of archery shooting

Always being a long time PSE guy I wanted to venture out to see what the other companies had in comparison. Before I bought this bow I tested G5, Hoyt, Matthews, PSE, and of course the Bear. Out of all the bows this seemed to be in the middle of the pact as far as speed goes but that not really important to me. I like to be able to see the arrow hit my target so I know what type of shot I got on the animal before the track job begins. Anyway the Bear Assault was by far the smoothest draw out of any of the bows and possibly the quietest. The bow felt best to me and that's why I bought it, money didn't really make a difference but it was an added bonus it was about $300 cheaper than the others I was testing.

I don’t have large hands so the narrow grip is a nice perk. If you star with a wide grip you can’t make it narrower so I think Bear is right in starting thin and allowing for each shooter to customize their bow as they go along.
My last bow was a Hoyt, I bought in 1997 or 98 can’t remember anything else. I know that it is not a fair comparison however; this bow is so much quieter in comparison. My favorite is the let off once I draw back I could set there all day if I need to. The draw adjustment at 1/2" is sweet it ensure a nice set up yeah you need a bow press but most archery shops have one and can make that adjustment for you, Supper nice bow.
Well because it is a review and I believe there has to be something that I can complain about it would have to be that the sting stops look to wear quickly. However they do perform amazingly so that is well worth the trade off. My wife has a PSE chaos and her sting stop work well but the Assault is much quieter than hers.
