That comparison was legit. I just bought the cruiser G3 for my son. Having it set up for me, because he's six, and still a bit crazy. Our windows and persons are in danger if he gets it this young. My intention is to also get a bow for myself, so that he, his sister, and I can all go to the archery shop, and field, and shoot together. And I will probably purchase the Legit for myself. Thanks!

[@seansoutdoors]

Nice use of words. The Legit is a nice bow. Good luck with it if you get it

[@alijan3351]

Once again sean you have the exact video i need. Your cruzer video convinced me. This comparison video made it final on the legit. Bought one yesterday, very happy so far. Shooting arrows touching on target at 20 out the box and minor tweaks

[@seansoutdoors]

Great, glad to hear it. God bless ya

[@joereese9473]

Same here shot it today first time...

[@ClickClickDirt]

Does it have cable or limb stops ? I'm thinking about purchasing one because the stinger x sounded good but I might just get that as a spare for this

[@Trentkursen]

Love my Legit, purchased last fall as my first bow, put about 3,000-3,500 arrows through it and as a beginner I am satisfied with my grouping at 50 yards. The main draw back is I quickly realized the stabilizer, sight and rest all need upgrading which basically doubles the price.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks for your thoughts. God bless you

[@tmoney8785]

Seems like if you're going to replace all that stuff Maybe buy a more expensive bow... 🤔

[@myronriggs9613]

I bought a diamond edge 320 and have upgraded the sight rest and Stabilizer also

[@brandonb6274]

Any time I need to know something about a bow. You already have a video made about it. Love all of your videos. Keep up the great work. Thank you and God bless

[@seansoutdoors]

Great, that is why I do it.

[@TTravisT]

Excellent reviews Sean! Admittedly the Cuzer G2 does look smaller and more like a kids bow. I bought mine when I got into archery elk hunting because I knew I’d want something different at some point. My plan was to hand it down to my son. That said I have killed two 6 point bull elk in Colorado in back to back years with the bow. Make no mistake. It can get the job done.

[@seansoutdoors]

Amen God bless you

This is the video I needed to see. I been looking for stuff about the Legit. I ended up getting a Legit and my wife got the Cruzer G2 But this is an excellent resource and video!

[@seansoutdoors]

Great, thanks. Enjoy them both. God bless you

[@tylergordon696]

I bought a g2 based on your video of it( we commented back and forth on that video) I have been shooting 24-96 arrows a day since. I have been very happy with it considering the price. I can easily hit a 6 " circle at 40 yards. I don't have the space to go longer, but I am definitely confident enough now to take it deer hunting this fall. Not sure I could spot and stalk an elk at this point, but I did get a tag that can be either rifle or bow. I really appreciate your videos. It also looks like after the hunting season this year I will be upgrading. I just wish the closest pro shop was not ~300 miles away.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. Enjoy your hunts

Awesome. Enjoy it

[@Adamsoutventures]

This is GREAT Sean! I'm new to bow hunting- this will be my first year- and I've been looking at the cruzer model as I've read that it is a really great bow for beginners. I'm looking for something that will last and be able to grow with me. I'm surprised at the Legit, and this video helped me so much. I enjoy your content and am a huge fan! Thanks again, your a HUGE help! Question i have for you is when I go to buy a bow what would you suggest as a package for beginners? I mean bow, arrows, sight etc? And what is your recommendation for maintenance on a bow? Pre-season, during the season and storage after the season? Appreciate any feedback!

[@seansoutdoors]

Some package bows come with sight, rest, quiver, but usually you'd have to buy arrows. Different arrow spine is needed for different draw weight and draw length, so it's best to get the right one once you've decided on a bow and know what specifications you'll be shooting with. As for maintenance, it's good to wax the bow string every two weeks under normal shooting. During the season, if you're going through thick vegetation and the bow is getting hit a lot, you may need to wax the string after every hunt. You'll be able to tell if there are tiny fibers sticking off the string. To wax the string, typically rub bow string wax on the string, cables, and then rub it in with a piece of leather. The leather heats up the wax so that it melts and goes into the string....

[@Adamsoutventures]

@@seansoutdoors thank you for the explanation! Your vids on scent control and climbing tree stands have been so beneficial and I've learned so much. I'm new to hunting and haven't had anyone explain these kinds of things so I really appreciate the hard work and precision of your content. 🤝🤜🤛

Your video helped make up my mind. I was looking at both of them and the g2 was on sale for $140 less then the legit, guess which one I got? I could care less what it looks like after all weapons are tools and should be judged by their performance not how pretty they are Thanks.

I just picked up the cruzer g2 on woot for $290 this morning. They had the legit for the same price but it sold out as I was looking at them.

[@scotteger6271]

Sean, appreciate your detailed reviews. Any chance you might be able to review the Bear Whitetail Legend? It comes as a ready to hunt package but it has somewhat better accessories standard. The sight is a 5 pin with fiber optic wrapped around the outside of the sight and comes with a light, has the older Trophy Ridge stabilizer that used to be the accessory catalog option, etc.

[@seansoutdoors]

With hunting season starting next week for me I probably won't be doing any reviews till about December unless I have to, and that usually only happens if a company sends me a bow and asks me to review it. That said, Bear has never responded to any of my attempts to contact them so I doubt highly that I will be contacted by them to review any of their bows any time soon, sorry. But, if an opportunity does present itself, I certainly will review it!

[@scotteger6271]

@@seansoutdoors I understand and you can only do what you can do. I was just curious about it since it had slightly better accessories than Bear normally provides, such as on the Cruzer or Legit. Thanks for the response Sean, take care and God Bless! 🙏

Hey Sean i love the video! Nice and informative! How would you rate this two bow against the bear species? I’m planning on buying the species and i wanna hear your opinion since you know a lot about compound bows..i need help making my decision. I’m a beginner.

[@seansoutdoors]

I think the species is a lot like the legit but is a single cam whereas the legit is two cams. Two cam bows are a lot faster usually but with single cam you don't have to worry about your cams going out of time.

[@Mrrepabear]

Legit’s ibo speed is at 315 while the species is at 320. How is species faster than legit? I thought dual cam is faster than solo cam?

[@Mrrepabear]

Which one would you say is better for me?

[@seansoutdoors]

Those ratings are never accurate, but maybe they are doing something with the species to help it be faster. I can't say as I have never shot or tested one. I'd suggest shooting them both and see which one you like more.

Sooooo which is better?

[@seansoutdoors]

I prefer Legit

[@jmicrogers]

Did you notice cam lean on the legit?

[@seansoutdoors]

No but every single bow that comes out of the factory was hand assembled so it all depends on the person who put yours together and how good of a job they did. It also could be related to how much the string and cables have stretched since the bow was assembled.

[@rennug8718]

Which of these 2 would you recomend for a person 5.5, with a draw length of 26.5?

Legit

[@seansoutdoors]

Already sold

[@taylorbeard8633]

which one would you recommend for women?

[@seansoutdoors]

I think both would serve a woman well. I personally like the Legit better because it feels a little more like what the I'm used to shooting with a longer riser but some women might like the G2 a little more because it feels a little smaller because the riser is shorter and the limbs are longer. Either way I think both will work well for you. If you could go to somewhere like a Bass Pro Shop or Cabela's and try them both out that would help you see which one feels better to you in your own hand. God bless you

[@elinajrgensen8687]

Would you recomend a recurve bow or a recurve bow?

[@seansoutdoors]

I'm going to assume you meant a compound bow for your second choice, and my answer is, it depends. It depends on age and long-term intended use. In general, though, I recommend a compound bow with mechanical release because it is easier to master than a recurve bow.

@@seansoutdoors for somone who is 5'6" though would still recommend the Legit?

[@seansoutdoors]

I think the Legit is a little better built. A big difference is in the riser. The Legit has a longer and more robust riser which allows the limbs to be more parallel. This helps a bow be less jumpy when it goes off. If I was buying one or the other, I would personally buy the Legit, but that is just my preference. God bless you.

@@seansoutdoors thank you. Ive read some most posts on other forums and it seems the legit is the consensus better option

[@jayro4113]

anyone else sitting here just staring at the g2 and its limbs being threaded out all the way, effectively changing the limb curve...

[@seansoutdoors]

And? What does that have to do with the comparison? The G2 is set up for my son to shoot. The legit is not. You can watch the full review of the G2, which is linked to this video in multiple locations, if you would like to see what it looks like with the limb bolts tight.

[@jayro4113]

@@seansoutdoors well you were comparing how parallel the legit limbs were over the g2s Sean, if you cranked in the g2s limb bolts to the riser, they would be more parallel than what is shown here would they not? Or at the very least give that impression No need to get all defensive about it, just an observation, that's all

[@seansoutdoors]

Even if the limb bolts are tightened all the way they are not parallel. They are built at a different angle. Look at any picture of a G2

[@l00nybin]

@@jayro4113 even cranking the bolts down won't change the angle of the limb pockets in relation to the length of the riser. Having the limbs backed out all the way will actually make the Cruzer's limbs slightly more parallel. It's geometry: 25" riser and 30" a-2-a will have a *far* more parallel limb angle than a 20" riser and 30" a-2-a will.

[@ClickClickDirt]

Wouldn't that mean that because you would lose 5fps on the decrease of 1lb of draw weight with the legit, so wouldn't it be increasing proportional per lb, making it 15 fps faster. 3+lb so 5x3 ..from 67lb to 70lb DW wouldn't that make it 319 fps... Or is it disproportional on the gain 🤔

[@seansoutdoors]

It is typically not linear in increase and decrease due to the fact that cams are oval. There can be larger fluctuations in speed changes depending on the draw length settings.because moving the draw mod changes the geometry of the path the cable travels which impacts the overall performance of the bow.
