Compound Bow Comparator

The Bear Bounty is a great packaged bow for those wanting a Ready to Hunt package for $599. For those not needing the package, there may be other options in the $600 range since the added cost of the accessories in not needed. Regardless, the Bounty is a nice bow for female archers with decent performance, and an emphasis on simplicity. The Bear Bounty will not be on the cover of magazines for cutting edge technology, but it does everything very well and should make a lot of shooters very happy. Read full review...

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...
