I'm hunting with a Bear Threat that I bought from the pawn shop for 100 bucks last year. It's my first and only bow. Just started hunting last year at 35 yr old. I'm addicted. I have shot my bow literally every single day since I got it.

[@lorneboucher6046]

Good luck this coming season! Keep that energy

[@oakobsession]

Excited for you brother!, this is a great hunting community to be a part of!

[@jake-fw8th]

I started again at 32 my whole family hunts I lost interest in my teens and thought I was to busy in my 20s

[@braxtonl8961]

How is the threat? I’ve seen a couple of those floating around and hard to find much on them

[@beaubellamy2999]

I really appreciate that you all represent the “every man” gear. It’s great to know there are guys out there doing it professionally that don’t have to shoot $2,500 bow set ups.

[@casanovafrankenstein8875]

🤭

[@MegaBastt]

Could not have said this better myself. Refreshing to not see it.

[@jeremysloane3921]

It's not the equipment you use it's how good you actually are with the equipment and spending time working with it😊

[@MrKinghuman]

not exactly the same but similar, i used to play competitive billiards, and the amatuers played with 2/3k dollar cues, ive seen pros and hustlers play with house cues or cheaper factory cues and play elite pool. its the indian not the arrow.

[@andy51900]

THP should collab with Clay Newcomb on a bear hunt.

[@beaubellamy2999]

Heck yea!

[@jaredbowling4872]

Give the people what they want!

[@johnnewcomb5162]

That would be awesome!

[@shawnhagen6871]

Clay is tied up in a contract with meateater if I had to guess

[@andy51900]

@@shawnhagen6871 Maybe so. It would be unfortunate if that got in the way of people working together. A rising tide raises all ships.

[@h-minus2212]

Congratulations on the engagements!! Nothing better than having a special person to share your life with. Good luck this fall.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thank you! You too!

[@KoRnrock19031]

Just got the adapt + today from my local archery store and am extremely happy. As a new hunter two years ago I started archery with an Amazon bow, and this upgrade was something I was super excited about. Thank y’all for what you do and all the information you give!

[@joshualee8098]

Really hoping to see a lot of Nick behind the bow this year. Such a great addition to the already great crew.

[@daltonhall3378]

This breakdown of bows is amazing considering I’m 24 just now getting into bow hunting shooting something a little older. I’m already overdue for a upgrade on bows. This is the one I think I’ll be choosing now. Thanks guys. Been following for a year now.

[@jonpeterson8510]

Congratulations to Jake and Hayden on the engagements! Also, good to see that Nick is still around after his internship ended. I love what he adds to the crew.

[@dalehayslip5008]

Great group of guys been watching you guys for about 4 years and can't wait for the season to start.

[@Valscorn01]

I use the V sight that ranch fairy has, but I really like Zach's single pin. I like an open sight and I like being able to see without being super cluttered. Also ted without his hat, and instead a ballcap looks weird. He should be required to wear the booney at all times.

[@Fatboybart]

Vrsa quiver is nice but if you hunt in the rain take the battery out. Cause if not the light will just stay on once it gets wet.

[@l.i.archer5379]

I bought the Whitetail Maxx and Alaskan XT and put the Paw grips, Hotwire sights and Sync rests on both. On the Whitetail Maxx, I have the Hitman quick-detach front & rear stabilizer set. I have a generic amazon front & rear stabilizer kit on my Alaskan XT. It also has a picatinny adapter for the sight. I am waiting for a dovetail-mounted Sync rest to come out for it. Love these two bows. The Whitetail Maxx shoots the best for me, winning me the 2 last 3D competitions at my archery club.

[@jeffnearing719]

I was debating on buying a new bow for my birthday. I turn 59 next week and have been shooting the same bow for the past 20 years. Been looking at the Hoyts and just can't bring myself to spend $2000 on a bow. I have always been a budget kind of guy and believe that if you put the time into shooting it doesn't matter about how much you spend. Thanks guys for keeping it real and not selling the hype.

[@johnmasson3979]

I set up bows part time at Bass Pro Shop in Olathe, Kansas. This bow has been amazing to set up, tune and shoot.

[@jasonlee7215]

We stop at that bass pro for last minute stuff every year on our way to hunt Kansas. I’ll stop and say hi if you’re there on Nov 4th

[@johnmasson3979]

@@jasonlee7215 sounds great!

[@jeffreyfickert4818]

I got my adapt and absolutely love it. I was using a bear Cruzer that I got several years ago and liked a lot. But the adapt is exactly what I wanted and works perfectly. Also, excited to see nick there. If you’re reading these comments, it’s be cool to see some more of his cooking, even if it’s just the shorts. I enjoy trying new wild game recipes

[@dannymattison1953]

I got the bear Cruzer also got it in 2018 for a lower end budget bow it's a great shooting bow. My next bow I'm getting will be the thp adapt

[@pg981]

Bought the Adapt as a bare bow and added IQ BOWSIGHT, Vaportrail Limbdriver gen 7 rest, Saunders Hyperglide, Alpine Bearclaw quiver and NAP 5" stabilizer, Ultranok XL. Nice shooting bow ,as I prefer a single cam bow

[@ericgustafson4575]

Great update! I keep my bow for decades so not looking to upgrade this year. Had a Bear 44 Super magnum so long that they quit making cables for it. Have been using a 2012 Bear Anarchy since 2013. I won't change it till I find a single cam that shoots that smooth. 70 pound draw with bad shoulder and back and draws like butter still! I do miss the old Alpha 5 verticle sight, but have an older React now. Do you find you have to mess with it at all? My react doesn't like my ranch fairy approved heavy arrows.

[@Intimidator82]

Hard to believe how far we've come in bow equipment since I started hunting with pin lights run by watch batteries in the 90's. It's nice to see a well equipped, ready to hunt bow under $800, which makes it affordable for most hunters. Once again THP has gone over and above, keep up the great work fellas and fellettes, let's hunt!

[@kurtshinn9498]

Congratulations on y’all’s fiancé’s !!!!! Seeing y’all growing up in y’all’s 20’s and being really good hunters it’s pretty amazing. Y’all started a business and it took off like a rocket. Congratulations on your endeavors Just curious if any of y’all have kids ?? Keep doing what y’all are doing, we all appreciate the hunting videos Kurt. South eastern, Nc

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

Got my first bow for my birthday on April 28th. Self teaching myself how to shoot, and needless to say it’s addicted and I love it. My parents went out and got me a Cabela’s Epic X2. It was great to shoot, but the first bow my string blew out (no I didn’t dry fire it, the cable snapped) 2nd bow they warrantied the cam leaned into the limb and almost broke off. I told them I didn’t want another Blackout bow (Cabela’s brand) and to give me the money back or let me switch it, and they let me change to a Diamond Alter (made by Bowtech). It’s a GREAT freakin bow and lit that fire back under me after losing hope because I thought I was doing something wrong. One of these days I’ll upgrade to a flagship but that’s a while away. My only regret is waiting til I was 33 to learn how to shoot. I’ve shot a 150, 155, 180, and 179 in 3D’s, so I’m not great, but damn is it fun! My only complaint on those Bear’s (since they make the Cabela’s bows including what I had so many issues with) is that the Cabela’s bows aren’t as heavily QC’d as the Bear’s, and the stock strings are absolute garbage. Other than that it was a great bow. I could never shoot over 55lbs on it because the draw cycle was SO tough, but my new Diamond I’m shooting 62 and I swear it’s so much easier than the Blackout ever was. I’ve never shot anything besides those 2 bows though so I can’t really compare them, but if someone is choosing between the Diamond, Bear, and Cabela’s I’d say go with the Diamond first or the Bear, do NOT pick up a Blackout. Yes it’s pretty much the same as the Bear bows, but QC is on Cabela’s not Bear.

[@TruffulaSteve]

So glad y’all are keeping Nick on the crew. I always thought Ted was highly deserving of the permanent spot, just based on his rookie year of killing. Nick deserves it just based on personality and culinary skills. He knows the way to a man’s heart is through his belly. Sly devil

[@joshuaeck2712]

Just ordered that phone mount very cool idea! Can't wait to use it this year. Up here in New York with my new elite omnia!

[@KJMJ1228]

Love bear product be an using them for over 38 years of hunting. Wish member's of onx hunt could get automatic entry for new bow. Be an wanting to go back with compound. Using bear crossbow now. Haven't lost a deer or pig with it

[@bjhall0778]

Been shooting a bear attitude came out in 2015 just got it this year a little out dated but it keeps me shooting

[@wiscokid9890]

My son has the bear legit. I've been wanting to get the bear ADAPT maybe next year now. I also just traded a bottle of booze for a fully set up EXTREMELY lightly used Bear Cruzer for me wife. We might be a BEAR family soon lol.

[@talesofthewild132]

Hey guys, I had a question about Zack's sight. There are two React One models (the React One dovetail, and the React One hunter bracket). I don't know which one he has and am definitely considering getting the sight. I would greatly appreciate if Ya'll let me know which one he has. Keep up the great work guys!

[@raybship1]

I started my son's with three different bows.. The one I finally settled on was the Bear apprentice which carried them all the way to adulthood! Bear makes an excellent product and I highly recommend Bear to anyone!

[@mskittles320]

Bought a THP Adapt RTH in January after watching your videos. Loving the new bow, my son got a Legit and we’ve been shooting 3d shoots and having a blast. I can hit a 4” circle at 50 yds pretty consistently. Great bow for the price. We really enjoy your videos.

[@WYATT_BURNS23]

I’ve always shot Hoyt but y’all make me want to try them bears so bad. Love y’all videos. never change!

[@ewoknative]

great stuff guys! i looked at the adapt but the hand grip, i wasn’t a fan of. i ended up settling with the cabelas optimus rth (bear brand) which is a fantastic bow. bang for the buck 2 months of shooting and was able to get a doe with it last year.

[@thewakawakafish4622]

Just bought a Bear Adapt this past week - didnt even know it was a collab til I picked it back up from the bow tech and he mentioned it

[@marklohman965]

This Bear Compound will compete against any Hoyt or Bowtech. You don't have to sink a ridiculous $1,500 for a stripped bow.

[@rangel20ish]

I also take my quiver off

[@danielsherer3194]

I just ordered the T.H.P phone holder can’t wait to get it bow opener is in 31 days

[@unsupportedultra]

I was also shooting the Apollos last year around 718grs. This year I’m getting ready for open western hunting so I switched to the Orions with the Snyder Core system and Iron Wills. Sitting at 480gr and 18% FOC

[@justmeva]

Thank you; I love and use Bear bows and Trophy Ridge sights.

[@Sheldawg69-q3g]

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never been one to jump on a bandwagon about anything but I’m glad I did with the ADAPT. The hype is definitely real for anyone wondering. Today I went and traded my bowtech realm SS that I’ve shot and killed many of deer with for 3 seasons for a Bear Adapt and the difference is insane. Definitely a believer and I’m glad I made the switch!

[@ML-ks2lj]

I am not a fan of that triangle whisker rest right now. I can't seem to get my arrows to stop hitting it. Not sure I it's me or the arrows or the d loop or what. I been messing with it side to side for 3 days among other things. I don't like I can't adjust up and down with it either. I have the whitetail legend.

[@ericgunter45]

I shot a split limb bow before split limbs were cool. LoL. It was a Golden Eagle Lite Speed 2, would still be shooting it but the top limb exploded at half draw in 2008. Been shooting a Diamond The Rock ever since but that adapt + is tempting me to upgrade.

[@BudBanksOutdoors]

Love your videos! Keep it up guys! Realistic hunters doing what they have to do to take best deer in that area

[@mikemcmahon605]

New to compound bow hunting. Looking at the Adapt + Which package do you recommend, the 45-60 or 55-70 for draw weight?

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Either one will work. Whatever is most comfortable for you.

[@stevescope1037]

Been shooting the Adapt for the last 6 months and it’s a great bow! Can’t wait to hunt with it this season.

[@jameshunt7972]

It’s nice to see real dudes hunting with gear that we can all afford. What a change from all the Bowhunting programming of the last 25 years.

[@wolftiger59]

Took review of the adapt bow and bought one. Good bow. Congrats on the new engagement.Hope have wonderful life together. Good luck this season

[@CheesyScrum]

Best thing about these guys is they make it seem like you could sit around a fire and share hunting stories.

[@thehuntingpublicpodcast]

I promise we can do that!

[@donnabonning5587]

glad you put a ring on crystals finger! she is a keeper. cograts to both of you .

[@6saturdaysaweek]

That execute is a solid bow. When I reviewed it, it put up solid numbers when compared to more expensive bows.

[@303parkerhale]

After 30 years of rifle hunting I finally bought my first bow this year. (Older mathews dxt) I'm hooked! I've had the adapt on my radar for an upgrade for a while now. Thanks for making that choice alot easier. Now to try and find one in canada before Sept 1😅

[@papaschuette]

I"ve been shooting my 2007 Diamond Triumph up until I bought the Bear Legit this past March. The Triumph is a single cam like the Adapt. Which I didn't know existed until May. I just knew as soon as I saw the Legit in Realtree camo that I had to have it. I admit, I'm having a bit of an issue with getting it tuned correctly. But I'm getting there. I definitely need new, stiffer arrows.The draw cycle is so smooth that I can pull more weight with the same effort as my Triumph.

[@bearcubs9497]

Bought an Execute 32 and it’s just as Greg says.

[@steveanzini4505]

Please give more detail on arrows and broadheads. Give advice on choosing arrow weight/ bow draw weight, etc.

Holy moly. I still remember Ted's hunt in that woods, calling that buck in, that was all a rush! And I wasn't even there! Sun in the background! 🙂

[@fisherben10]

What happens with the Ranch Fairy test kits once people find out the setup that works best for them? Seems like there would be some used kits for sale but I'm not finding any? Is there a market for Serius to buy back any of these components and sell used certified kits? As someone just looking to switch over from a crossbow to increase mobility, I'd like to do things right from the get-go, but it's hard to swallow some of these start up costs 🤣.

[@flip66five]

Been shooting the same set up since 2015, bear traxx rth and gt hunters itll hit a golfball from 60 with vids to prove it so i dont change it...the only thing thats changed, for no particulr reason is broadheads but theyve always been fixed 3blade

[@djlandreneau]

Has anyone been able to find a manual or documentation on how to setup the Trophy Ridge Hotwire sight?

[@warzone0331]

On the website, is a "dexterity right hand" mean youre holding with your left hand and pulling back with the right or vice verce?

[@TheHuntingPublic]

That means you would hold the bow with your left hand and pull back with your right hand. So it would be for a right handed shooter.

[@markychaz]

Bear really need to make another 7inch brace height single cam bow that shoots 330fps. The bear venue was the smoothest hunting bow I have ever shot.

[@thomasyang4203]

You guys should all sign that bow when the winner is chosen. Be cooler 😁😁

[@UplandHunter354]

Glad to see more women getting involved in the outdoors.

[@Realisticoutdoorsmen]

I hunt with the bear legit I love it for how adjustable it is like you said. The biggest problem for me in the future will finding a bow that will fit me, if there are any tall hunter out there let me know if there is a secret bow I don’t know about 😂

[@Marty-RR]

Guessing your draw length is the issue? Check out the blackout epic x2. It fits me like a glove and only 6fps slower than the new mathews p4.

[@bham311]

[@rowland84outdoors11]

Where would you suggest the anchor point be with someone that wears glasses I’m used to just looking over my glasses but am kinda afraid my vision will get worse over time

[@braxtonwallace8458]

Saw Warb messing with the peep sight, I can't get mine trained to stay, and a tube don't spin it enough. Any recommendations on strings? Archery Field and Sports has messed with it a few times. Just can get it to stay. (I also have a brand new set of Bear Razorhead VWS broadheads I'd like to see you guys shoot)

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Hey this is Warb - seems like each single cam I’ve had tends to stretch the string a bit over time. Jake tried a Bowmar peep tuner in his last year and it worked well. Mine hasn’t been a huge issue and I’m OCD so i tend to mess with it a lot even when it doesn’t need straightening

[@BigT209]

Why use the old rubber style for the peep sight?
