Compound Bows for Modern Performance

A compound bow by Bear might be what you’re looking for if you want speed, power and high-level precision. One of the most high-tech bows on the market, compound bows are great for adults. They work by using a system of cables and cams to store a huge amount of energy, making them very fast and very powerful.

One of the magical things about a compound bow is the so-called “let-off.” It means that after the bow is pulled back to full draw, let off, and softens the draw weight, you can hold the bow and aim at your target for a long time to gain a far more balanced aim and steadier shot. This is a great feature especially while hunting, when you might have to wait for the perfect opportunity. Bear Archery provides a variety of compound bows which target several areas such as hunting and shooting and are optimized for accuracy and strength.

Traditional Recurve and Longbows

Sometimes the best way to go forward is to go back. Bear's traditional bows are the perfect introduction to the rich tradition of archery. These bows are devoid of any modern features found on compound bows; all you have to rely on is skill and strength. They test your forms and technique like no other.

Classic, custom, vintage bows are an excellent option for the shooter who keeps things simple and trusts that gut feel and instinct.

For many people, shooting with a traditional bow is not so much about the endgame, it’s about being connected to the origins of the sport.

Youth and Recreational Bows for the New Recruit

The brand “Bear” knows that every expert was once a novice. Therefore, it issues a series of younger & beginner archery bows. These bows are engineered with less draw weight and adjustable in length, so your child/novice can grow with them rather than developing bad habits early on.

Compound bows like the Brave or the Crusader are made for a great beginner archery experience. They are lightweight and sturdy and offered as a complete kit that has everything an aspiring archer requires to start with.

Selecting Your Bow

So how do you know which bow to pick? Think about your primary use and experience. If you are hunting deer in the woods, the compound bow could be your best option. If you’re a purist who appreciates the primitive challenge of a traditional shot, a recurve or longbow has your name on it.
