Thinking of purchasing a Bear compound - Lights Out model

Anyone have any experience with these or heard any info worth knowing?

Well, I went ahead and bought this bow. It is the darkhorse model, which I thought was cool. Originally I thought I would wrap it in camo tape only during hunting season, but the profile of the dang thing is so small I don't think I will bother.

I am no bow conessuire (sp?), but this seems like a great bow. I had been using a +15 year old bear compound that I've had for over 10 years, and the new one is obviously much smaller. It also seems to be more accurate.

I've had mine since January and absolutely love it! Quiet, small ATA, nice let-off, very smooth...Like i've told everyone, plan on replacing the string and cables at some point because they are horrible and creep terribly, use a tube aligned peep no matter what until you put new strings on it. That said I haven't bought new strings yet on mine and they hold up but they just are not good strings, after bow season that will be my first upgrade to the bow and I think it will really increase performance even more. While it is my first bow so I don't have a lot of experience with others I can say this has surpassed any expectations I had about a bow.
