This is a fantastic review on a bow I am considering buying. After being out of archery for 20 years I would like to get back into it. This gentleman really knows his stuff and presents a great video! 👍

[@dfm-jv7ry]

Steven, I really enjoy your videos. Very helpful. I’ve owned several Bear bows over the years. I have found their customer service second to none.

[@bhebert62482]

I have a Paradox in the Fred Bear camo and it’s been great. It shoots amazing groups and has put quite a few deer and hogs on the ground

[@deanehuff1589]

Bear catalog’s 6 single cam models and PSE has the Stinger. I still love the shoot ability and ease of maintenance of single cams. Sure, you give up some speed, but that’s not a big deal in my book.

[@jamesseed1752]

I got a paradox in December for a gift, mine was quite accurate directly out of the box and haven't had to adjust anything as of yet. Shoots plenty fast enough for hunting IMO and has a great price, I love mine and I would recommend to anyone.

[@denniswood231]

Thank-you for taking the time to review this bow!

[@brentbarnetthunting]

Awesome review, Steven! I shoot the 2020 Bear Species, and it greatly reminds me of the Paradox. Couldn’t be happier with my bow. Shoots very smooth and it’s dependable. Killed a nice buck last fall.

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

hi there i have the paradadox hc twin cam bow..Absolutely love it!! Bear makes some great affordable equipment for sure.. by the way dont allow some idiot to ruin your day!! you seem very well versed on these bows and thats what we all need is great honest reviews!! Keep up the great reviews!! Mike

[@Denner771]

My first hunting bow was a Bear from this ilk(2008 Lights Out). Had a 300fps ibo rating. I bagged more deer with it than any other bow that I own or owned. I had pass throughs' on deer up to 40 yds out using the original muzzy broadhead. Very easy bow to shoot.

[@archeraction6]

The g1 Bear Cruzer I have is great. I believe it's 5 years for limbs and cams, lifetime riser. I gouged the slide rail and they sent one free. Thank you, the Paradox looks solid.

[@LCaseiImunitass]

Can you please do a review on the Bear Legend XR? I'd like to get into compound archery and I like the looks of the XR. I'm interested how it compares to other entry class bows like the diamond edge 320 or something similar. Would the XR be a good, quality beginner bow?

[@jameshagerman7681]

Running the numbers through the back country bowhunting arrow speed calculator (which while it isn't perfect it has in my experience been pretty good) it shows this bow coming out at about a 320 IBO speed, about 10 fps short of the advertised 330 at least with the VAPs, I didn't run the numbers on the gold tips. 10 fps short is a lot closer than I have seen some bows costing a third more come.

[@rossespiritu5064]

That's a damn good group! Good shooting while making a video I must say.

[@F8lastcallcharger345]

I bought this bow from Bass Pro shops online. When it arrived I noticed the top limb had a gap from the riser. It would not screw in because the hole was not completely threaded. I contacted Bear and they said it should be fixed. I asked if I could send it back but this was late Friday afternoon, I took it to Bass Pro and they replaced it before Bear had a chance to solve the issue so I can comment on the customer service. I will say the second bow is way better than the first. The first one was a basket case that I couldn’t get sighted in correctly. The second one was spot on from day one. It is hard to judge a company on customer service sometimes. I would buy another Bear for sure but I think my second bow will be a Diamond Archery Edge 320 or a PSE stinger. If I get another Bear it would probably be the Legit

[@theweekendarcher2056]

This is one of my favourite bows. Value for money is this one.

[@rickhaddix6847]

Probably pickup 10fps if you take off that rubber tubing on the peep. Love the channel by the way.

[@Gibsonlife573]

They say that you want to put your pen on there and then stare through your pin and focus on the target allowing your pen to blur out seeing the target cleared

[@davidquirk9711]

Great review but why can't we in Australia get spare bear strings..I just put a new string on my bear kuma 30 made by gas bowstrings and they r crap.

[@richardreynolds3597]

Great review - Thank you!

[@FullSend93]

Would you recommend this or the species ev? If so why? Thank you.

[@carliehampton4204]

You need to try an Athens bow. It is by far the best bow I have shot for the money. The peak 38 is awesome

[@westoutdoors9846]

Stephen I have to disagree with you on the bear cruzer not having a solid back wall I own one and it has a very solid back wall

[@davhuf3496]

TY Steve!

[@mayhem035]

Glad to see that I am not the only one seeing a blur past the pins! 😅 and not see how good I shot. We need glasses or cantacs 🤷‍♂️got some guys that shoved me their glasses and I was like wow I see like a eagle! 😳🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Gibsonlife573]

I supposed to be called construction constructive criticism No problem anymore and right thanks I can put anything out anything else and it's the best no matter what no a lot of The Times it's not you need that constructive criticism to learn that's our problem everybody gets a participation trophy anymore and aint nobody corrected for the things you're doing wrong wrong Stephen I want to go on there today and make sure I leave a good review because I'm telling you right now dude is amazing man and she's from the other Side of the world from me and he took his time out to message me to answer my questions to answer my phone call And you could really tell that he was motivated for the right reason To make sure that his customer or anybody else that he could help was the best he could you can do make sure they was happy

[@zachaliles]

Some of the things I learned about camo during my time in the military is the colors and shapes don't matter too much in the grand scheme of things. As long as they're not bright colors or shapes with sharp corners or straight lines. The exception is any digital patterns. They're designed to disrupt your vision by appearing to be out of focus or blurry past a certain distance. As long as the shape is broken up by different colors and soft shapes you'll be fine. And black is a no go in the woods no matter where you are.

[@randomcdude4430]

Bad reviews are learning experiences. If your sister got food poisoning from the bakery, it is probably something the business should know about so that they can fix the problem. Also as a consumer if they are slinging food poisoning I want to know so I can avoid chucking up my guts. If you just didn't like the food, yeah maybe consider that in the review and be specific so the business can try to improve. If you get a bad review as a business the response is to evaluate the criticism and determine if there is something you need to work on or if the customer is just whinging about something out of your control. If you just disregard every bad review and tell people not to leave them, then it seems you have gotten complacent in your business (and a little arrogant as well) and are thus cruising for more negative reviews. Sure some customers are jerks, but sometimes even jerks have a point. Sometimes the problem IS you. Like the bakery that gave your sister food poisoning, they were the problem and one that could have cost your sister dearly. They should fix that. Don't just excuse it. Help them be better, it is good for the business. And the reviews you do of the bows, love them or hate them, are the same thing. If you don't like a bow, well the maker can use that feedback to improve their product. Sorry Danny Boy hurt your feelings.

[@davidjensen2411]

I genuinely want to give positive reviews... But it must be earnt. Websites must accurately reflect stock levels.

[@sahhull]

The problem here in the UK is: Bow hunting is illegal. ArcheryGB dont allow camo on clothing or bows at competitions. Most clubs also dont allow it

[@raivkka4313]

In the land of Robin Hood bow hunting is illegal? Man the U.K. is F'd!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Crikey, I thought I accidentally hit pause, You don't move for ten seconds at full draw? Beauty AS.

How do you claim to be the only archery shop in the state when there's Pat's archery literally just south of you?

[@otheropinionssuck]

*only shop that's open to retail walk in customers and not a 3 hour round trip from the city

[@APWPaint]
