Bear Adapt 2 Review

The Bottom Line:The Adapt 2 platform answers a question Bear has been working on across three releases: how to deliver a sub-$500 entry and a sub-$700 hybrid-cam step-up on the same chassis without forcing the buyer to choose between cost and upgrade headroom. Launch MSRPs run from $499.99 (Single Cam Adapt 2 Bow Only)... read full review

Bear Shootout Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Shootout is a budget crossover bow that does one job very well: it carries a young or new archer through the transition years on a single, affordable chassis. At a $279.99 launch MSRP it adjusts from a 14-inch draw and 20 pounds up to 28 inches and 50 pounds, rides a maneuverable 28-inch axle-to-axle... read full review

Bowtech Alliance Review

The Bottom Line:The 2026 Bowtech Alliance answers a question hunters have asked for years - can one compact bow be both smooth and fast - by letting the shooter flip between the two with a disc rather than committing at the counter. At a $1,499.99 launch MSRP it delivers a 30.5-inch, 4.09-pound chassis carved out of... read full review

Bear Pristine Review

The Bottom Line:At a $649.99 launch MSRP, the Pristine delivers something Bear's catalog had been missing - a purpose-built short-draw hunting bow for women and smaller-framed adults that arrives complete and ready to hunt rather than asking the shooter to fit a bow designed for someone else. The numbers that matter... read full review
