Compound Bow Comparator

Bear has always done a great job offering bows for everyone in the market to purchase a new bow. They especially excel at offering shooters the most for their money when purchasing their budget friendly models. The Tremor is a fantastic single cam shooter with a lot to offer shooters of all abilities and experience. Hunters will love the smooth draw cycle and forgiveness from the 33-inch axel to axel bow, and the extra couple hundred dollars saved off the MSRP compared to other models with similar specifications will go a long way in helping to outfit the Tremor with top of the line accessories. Shooters interested in getting a lot of bow for a reasonable price, should give the Tremor a test shot. Read full review...

The Bear Venue is the only higher end single cam offering from Bear, although its performance is similar to some of their dual cam models. The feel of the Venue is great, and the performance is acceptable for a big game hunting bow. The $849 price tag may be too steep for some, considering this price point will get shooters about anything on the market. The strings have also been a weak point on the Venue with some recorded twist issues. With that being said, shooters wanting the reliability of a single cam bow backed by one of the oldest names in archery, the Venue is tough to beat. The forgiveness and absolute dead in hand feel is very easy to get used to. Read full review...
