Bear Salute Compound Bow

The Salute has some flaws when compared to a flagship model, but those rigs are not in direct competition with the Salute to begin with. The Salute is designed for those wanting to get started with archery without wanting to spend a ton of money on a bow. For comparison's sake, the Salute is the price some shooters spend on a sight alone, and with that considered, the Salute tends to be appealing for different shooters. As a beginners bow, or a bow for teenage shooters to transition into as they grow, the Salute is a fantastic option. There is only one finish option, the accessories are not top of the line, the bow has a little vibration, and it only shoots 300 feet per second. However, it comes fully rigged out for only $299, and is a great platform for newer archers to learn out without spending a ton of money. This bow does not have any direct competition with high end flagship models, but may be in competition with used flagship models on the internet. For a full time warranty and accessories, $299 seems like a more than fair price to pay for just getting started in the great sport of shooting a compound bow... read full review
