Bear Apprentice 3 Review

The Bottom Line:Any child with desire will get along great with this bow. Along with its' ease to shoot and its' good feel it gives a great idea of how an adult bow will feel someday. The large adjustment range and light weight make it great for any young shooter. It fills a niche in Bear's line up and it's an important... read full review

Bear Rumor Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Rumor is the new in the Bear lineup for 2014. It is marketed as a high-end, high-performance rig specifically for the ladies. It is smooth, quiet, and accurate, and will please all the lady archers. With a 30 1/4" ATA, 6.5" brace height, and a mere 3.6 pounds, this rig will follow the female... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Agenda 7 is part of the 2014 Bear lineup. Offering a 32" ATA, 7" brace height, and an outstanding 340 fps IBO, this rig will fit in any archery situation, and perform extremely well.

Bear Authority
User rating:
out of 2 reviews
Bear Authority Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Authority was introduced in the 2014 lineup, but is still a very good bow choice today. A little slower by today's standards for speed, but 315 fps is plenty enough to meet the needs of anyone serious about the shot, and not how fast the arrow gets there. It also produces enough KE to take down... read full review

Bear Motive 6 Review

The Bottom Line:This may be the best overall compound bow ever made by Bear. The Hybrid Cam System is another step in the right direction for engineers. The dual cam bow has awesome speed and it is also extremely easy adjust through the draw length range without the use of a bow press. The Motive 6 is well balanced... read full review

Bear Method Review

The Bottom Line:It seems that Bear has hit the right place in the market with the Method. The bow is more affordable than the bows at the top of their line for the majority of the archery world and still has great speed with decent quality. The Hybrid Cam System is another good stride for Bear engineers. The dual... read full review

Bear Motive 7 Review

The Bottom Line:Bear has produced a sweet shooting bow with the Motive 7. Their engineers have made another great move with the Hybrid Cam System. This bow has good speed and changing the draw length is a snap on the dual cams without the need of a bow press. It has a great feel and is forgiving. The riser gives... read full review

Bear Empire Review

The Bottom Line:This is a very underrated bow by many especially with the press that the Motives get from Bear. The technology from Bear engineers is still improving as it has been for a while now. It has good speed for a single cam bow and the brace height is very forgiving. The Empire is nearly shock free and is... read full review

Bear Outbreak Review

The Bottom Line:This bow can be used by any beginning archer from young youth to adult. It is fairly smooth and comfortable to shoot. It is a step above the Apprentice 2 in Bear's line up and seems to better for older youths with the Apprentice 2 more ideal for younger or smaller youths.

The Bottom Line:If you are a hunter on a budget or at the entry level stage of archery this bow is ideal for you.

Bear Mauler Review

The Bottom Line:While the Bear Mauler is without a doubt a bow hunter's rig, it would be good for the recreational shooter as well.
