I tested one out at my local Bass Pro Shop when I was replacing my Buckmaster G2. I felt the draw was OK, not super smooth but better than a lot of bows. Hand shock was less than my G2 but more than my Bowtech. The grip is better than their older bows and I like the color scheme. Overall I felt it shot well, BUT....... I paid the same price for my Bowtech Defender at $599 and got a lot more/better bow. If Bear drops the price, I think they will have a winner but right now I don't think it can compete with the other bows in that price range.

Just my $0.02
