Compound Bow Comparator

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 one as an archer is just beginning with one of their bows. Even at lighter weights and shorter draw lengths it still has good speed with its' dual cams. If there ever happens to be any problems or questions that need to be answered Bear's customer service is amazing. The Apprentice III isn't apt to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth for the first time shooting. The bow comes standard in a ready to hunt package including a Trophy Ridge 3 pin sight, Trophy Ridge Whisker Bisquit rest, arrow quiver, peep sight, and a string loop. The MSRP is $299.99 and with it being ready to shoot it isn't a bad price. Read full review...

Any willing to learn youth will fit into this bow just right. It is forgiving and gives the realistic feel of shooting a "big" bow. It is light and extremely adjustable to fit any sized youth archer. It a great starting point bow in Bear's line up with it being a little smaller than the Outbreak. It has good speed with the dual cams for shorter lengths and lighter draws. Bears customer service is second to non for any questions, problems, or warranty work that they are more than happy to help with. It is fun to shoot and shouldn't scare any young shooter away. The range of adjustability makes it even easier to like when it can be fit just right. It comes ready to hunt with a Trophy Ridge 3 pin sight, Trophy Ridge Whisker Bisquit rest, arrow quiver, peep sight, and a string loop. The MSRP of $279.99 is pretty good when considering everything that it includes. Read full review...
