Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

To conclude, the Bear Instinct is a very good choice at very reasonable price point. The Instinct is quick, smooth, forgiving and has little to no vibration or hand shock which makes it a very shootable bow. For the bow hunter this will be a very value conscience and reliable choice. The addition of a prestretched string might be a good choice if you prefer a peep without rubber tubing attached. This rig will do well in many hunting situations and overall is a steal at $399 msrp.
