Compound Bow Comparator

Bear Archery products has always offered a wide range of bows with differing price points in an effort to best meet the needs of their customers. The Bear Cruz offers a lot to shooters looking at a new bow under $500. Those interested in a compact designed starter bow may be hard pressed to find a better value. The Crux offers decent performance, a forgiving brace height, and can be outfitted for only $550. Nothing about the Bear Crux will be industry leading, nor top of the line, but at a $449 bare bow price tag no one should expect that. For those with a smaller budget, or someone just wanting to get started, the Crux really is a great option. Read full review...

The Bear Attitude is a well designed bow that has some nice specifications. For shooters just getting back into archery, or those not wanting to make a huge investment, the Bear Attitude is a great option. For those shooters wanting a high end model with the latest archery technology, the Bear Attitude will be a bit of a let down. For a shorter bow, the Attitude holds well on target, draws great, and shoots a bit over 300 feet per second all for under $400. The value is great on the Bear and the bow will preform for a long time. However, this is an entry level bow, and may not meet the needs of everyone wanting a short, lightweight hunting bow. Those on a budget will be able to purchase the Attitude and set it up with top of the line accessories and have less money in the entire set up than if they were to purchase a flagship model. The Bear Attitude does everything well, but it does not lead any category. Read full review...
