Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

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 cams are simple to adjust with the rotating module for any draw length within its range without the use of a bow press. It is comfortable and smooth for the speed it produces. This bow would do all and even more than a large percentage of archers would need it for. The customer service of Bear/Trophy Ridge is second to none and they are starting to get recognized even more for it. The Method is a must shoot for anyone in the market for an economical bow that has a lot to offer. Read full review...

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 it a new look of its own yet it retains the dual string suppressor look of Bear. There is a large size range of archers and hunters that this bow will fit with all the different weights and draw lengths available. The Bear/Trophy Ridge customer service has received some amazing reviews in how accommodating they are to their consumers. For those with big enough pockets, the Motive 7 will not fail to enthuse.
