Bear Archery Resurgence RTH Bow 2023 Long Term Review

The Bear Archery Resurgence RTH bow is back for 2023 which means it is time for our Long Term Review.
After having a whole year of time behind the Bear Archery Resurgence, Dalton brings lots of new insights to this years video. Starting with pricing, the RTH Package, what our Stage 2 tune includes, the Real World Specs out of the box all before moving on to the Real World Speed Test & Shot Testing with arrows from 350 to 500 grain. From there things depart from our normal formula with things we have discovered tuning and fitting these bows that you dont want to miss out on finishing with Dalton's opinion on who this bow is for.

Light, Smooth, Accurate. Nicest bow I've owned.

[@jordanhudson5075]

I bought a bow from these guys yesterday for me and my brother, I hadn’t ever shot a compound bow before and to be honest was pretty intimidated about the whole thing, I can not brag on these people enough they were extremely helpful and nice and patient, I felt so comfortable and that was a huge thing going into this was nervous about the whole thing but they were awesome!!!!!!! If you are anywhere near Lepanto Ark and thinking about buying a bow DONT GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN BETTER OUTDOORS ARCHERY PRO SHOP !!!!!

[@kerryhoward804]

That’s awesome and I’m glad you like bow hunting or just archery in general!!!

[@andrewarbour5733]

Bought this bow last year and it’s been a great bow so far!

[@bestestusername]

Brilliant reveiw, I am looking at a bow in this price range in Australia (we pay $850-$950) and your reveiw about arrow speeds and ergonomics is fantastic. Thanks.

[@brandonsullivan6749]

All your videos are great! Very informative and I never leave with questions. Keep it up! 👍🏼

[@drmitofit2673]

I've shot mine for a year and really, really like it. It was easy to tune, accurate, and a pleasure to shoot. That being said, my similar priced Diamond by Bowtech Alter is even smoother drawing (comfort mode) and has flip disc comfort/performance technology, but the Alter required more tuning time.

[@ericrock7209]

What would you recommend for a replacement cable containment system? You mentioned a roller?

[@drmitofit2673]

I installed the limb stop and I much prefer it over the spongy cable stops (in time) for more consistent aim, hold weight, and less bounce coming to full draw. The manual was really skimpy since there several ways one could install it wrong. There is room for two screws but you only need the one supplied, IF the screw is tightened at the leading end that contacts the limb. There are two cable stops but only one top cam limb stop. There are curved grooves at the base of the limb stop that must be oriented parallel to the curved cam track (it’s possible to install it upside down!). The biggest problem is that the limb stop O-ring (seems to be a Home Depot Danco #8) is too fat and would hit the limb too soon if at the same setting as the cable stops, AND it is too fat to seat well in the limb stop O-ring groove and tends to roll off if inadvertently bumped. I solved this with a 1/16” thick Danco #7 O-ring which seats much more stabile in the groove and works great at the same setting as the cable stops (I left them on).

Thanks for the review Dalton, is this Bear model able to be fitted with a one of those 'Bear Paw' grips or any aftermarket grip? Cheers from Australia.

[@drmitofit2673]

I had two minor issues with mine. (1) The string stop rod to riser fit was loose and if you fix this by tightening the grub screw, you could overdo it and crush the rod. I fixed it with aluminum foil wrapping around the rod to tighten the fit and a dab of blue Loctite on the grub screw. When the fit is better, you don't need as much grub screw torque and it doesn't vibrate loose with shooting. (2) There was a minor gap under the axle E-clips so I added a thin (0.020) shim to the shim stacks, top and bottom.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

We have experienced both of those things and check over every one we setup to ship to make sure those aren't issues later when possible. We also have to check the cable rod to be sure it's tight.

[@drmitofit2673]

Yes, my Resurgence bow was mail ordered elsewhere and did not go thru Better Outdoor scrutineering or tuning.

[@Cuisinenomade1]

I have a question and by the way, love your reviews!. GPP doesn't apply for compound bows as it does for traditional bows? Thanks!

[@ClintonDAshley]

Still waiting on a RH 60lb in Veil Whitetail. Expecting any soon?

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

We can custom order one of those for you that will be in sooner, just get in touch with us!

[@jasonbonikowske5121]

So is this resurgence bow basically the same as the Alaskan? What’s the real difference between them? I’m determining between them. Thanks.

[@scottindefatigablish6291]

Same bow, one is in RTH kit and the other is bare. Yeah they should probably have given them the same name.

[@richardtoepfer9326]

What about a really short adult lol. I have a 26" draw. All the bows that fit me in my budget or technically youth bows

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

The Adapt+ would be ideal. I believe the new Alaskan XT will fit that need too.

[@pauledspang9086]

Hi! I just bought this bow and im new to compound bows. Could yo please explain in witch order to change draw length, i dont want to make anything wrong touching the wrong bolts. Trying to understand the manual but im not geting any clever. Thanx in advance.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

You will want to move your draw stop to the number you want then move your module to the number you want. Do that to both cams.

[@pauledspang9086]

@@BetterOutdoorsarchery tank you so much! And great videos.
