Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Bear Escape SD is a wonderful bow for shooters wanting the Escape with a shorter draw cycle and pulling between 40-55-pounds. The SD cams are designed to outperform the H15 cams at the shorter draw lengths. The Escape SD is a perfect option for some shooters wanting the high-end speed and performance of the Escape. For Bear to offer this slightly redesigned bow, it really shows how in touch they are with what their customers really want. Ultimately, shooters will have to decide for themselves, which bow model shoots the best for them, but to simply have the option to shoot a bow with a cam for shorter draw shooters is pretty cool.

The Bear Escape is a great bow for those wanting a high performance rig at a reasonable price. An MSRP tag of $899 is a good pricepoint for a flagship model from a well-known company with the performance the Escape has. The Escape has some highly desired specifications many hunters demand including weighing in at the magical 4-pound mark, measuring in at 32-inches axel-to-axel, a 6-inch brace height, and 350 feet per second. The shot experience on the Escape is phenomenal, and the noise and vibration are very minimal considering the performance this bow has. It would be nice to see Bear offer the bow in more finish options, but hunters are not always interested in how pretty the bow is. Bear has done a great job not only creating such a high performance bow, but also creating one that legitimately competes with the speed bow competition. Those wanting a 2016 bow with a whole lot of performance should take a good look at the Bear Escape. Read full review...
