Bear Bow Reviews

The Bottom Line:This is a good hunter's bow for a decent price. It is smooth, quiet, comfortable, and shock free with decent speed. For a new bow it comes in strong for 2013. The development with single cam technology from Bear is improving along with everything else from the company. For a single cam it has decent... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is an amazingly smooth and fast bow combined. The single cam technology and engineering from Bear is continuing to climb the ladder over the past few years. It has excellent speed for a single cam bow and has very comfortable brace height creating a nice package. The Anarchy is dead in the hand... read full review

The Bottom Line:This bow can be used by any beginning archer from young youth to adult. It is fairly smooth and comfortable to shoot. It is a step above the Apprentice 2 in Bear's line up and seems to better for older youths with the Apprentice 2 more ideal for younger or smaller youths. It has good speed with the... read full review

The Bottom Line:If you are a hunter on a budget or at the entry level stage of archery this bow is ideal for you. With it being new to Bear's line up it is probably their most practical bow available. The engineering from Bear, including their single cam technology, is still increasing over the past few years which... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is a great budget bow. It is the faster, smoother brother to the Strike with several improvements made. With a new grip and updated suppressers, among other changes, it has taken one of Bear's most popular bows to a new level. The single cam technology and engineering from Bear is continuing... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Siren has been field tested by women, for women, and delivering what they asked for in a cam, grip, draw cycle, and release. It is designed to work ideal in the hands of top-tier female hunters. Bear technology continues to improve like it has for the last few years now. It's speed is impressive... read full review

The Bottom Line:While the Bear Mauler is without a doubt a bow hunter's rig, it would be good for the recreational shooter as well. Whether you opt for the "ready to hunt" package or you choose to put your own custom accessories on, the Bear Carnage is a very fast, smooth, quiet and nearly vibration free bow with a... read full review

The Bottom Line:With great shootability characteristics and excellent performance, the Bear Carnage is one of the best hunting bows manufactured in 2011. Bear seems to have hit a homerun with this rig. It has all the attributes and features that the modern bow hunter/archer is looking for. With an easily adjustable... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Apprentice earned its long run by being honest about what it is: a light, durable, fully-equipped youth bow that adjusts across a 15-to-27-inch draw and a 20-to-50-pound weight range at home, no bow press required, and reaches a legal 50-pound hunting weight when the shooter is ready. It shoots... read full review

The Bottom Line:At a $299.99 bow-only launch MSRP, the Bear Charge delivered about as much hunting bow as $300 could buy in 2010 and 2011 - a light, forgiving 30-inch single-cam hunter with a smooth draw, an 80-percent let-off, and the genuinely useful ability to adjust its own draw length from 26 to 30 inches in the... read full review

The Bottom Line:In all the Bear Attack is a very solid option for the archer, which is probably a big reason why Bear kept it in their bow line up for 2011. While being very similar to the Carnage, this rig has a smoother draw than the Carnage while only giving up 5 fps. The Attack can be held at full draw for a good... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Young Gun is a genuine hunting bow shrunk to fit a growing archer, and that is what lifts it clear of the toy end of the youth category. Built on the adult Truth 2 platform with a cast machined aluminum riser, compression-molded limbs, dual string suppressors and axle-mounted dampeners, it delivers... read full review

The Bottom Line:While the Bear Lights Out is not very fast and could have better strings, overall, this is a good quality bow at a very affordable price. Admittedly, this is a nice shooting bow due to its generous brace height, solid frame, and good silencing system. While many shooters are not very happy about the... read full review

The Bottom Line:Overall the price tag on the ShowDown is at a level that anyone can afford. If you are giving archery a try for the first time this would be a solid choice for you. If you are just looking for an affordable rig then the installation of some vibration dampening components will most likely been needed... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Done Deal is a smooth-drawing single cam bow with a solid back wall. While this rig is very similar to another Bear bow (Truth 2), many archers believe the Done Deal is a better value for money. While factory strings and cables could be of better quality, this is a good quality bow as reported... read full review
