Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Threat is a heck of a bow for $600, and the ability to add some accessories to get started straight from the factory for an additional $100 is a nice option as well. The ES cam system is a nice shooting cam offering some decent performance for such a smooth option. For shooters wanting a bow with high-end features, without breaking the bank, the threat is a great combination of value, performance, and shootability. Backed by the Bear Archery Products name and heritage, shooters wanting a comfort bow for a great deal should seriously consider hunting down a Bear Threat for a test shoot. Read full review...

The BR 33 is a nice multipurpose bow from Bear considering they do not have a dedicated target bow division. Bear Archery has a great following, and many shooters appreciate the history and symbolism that comes from the tradition of the company. For shooters wanting performance, but demanding a smoother draw cycle, the BR 33 is a fantastic offering. The BR 33 as a flagship model for 2016 has all the technology Bear has to offer at this point, all combined into a fine shooting model. Those interested in a nice shooting bow, without much concern for speed should be stoked about the 2016 Bear BR 33. Read full review...
