Default RE: Fred Bear Bow

No, I would not necessarily say that it fits under reviews.

To answer your questions. All of the Fred Bear, Buckmaster and Jennings bows that use their perimeter weighted single cam allow you to adjust draw length over a very wide range via the use of individual draw length modules. The Jennings CMX, Strikemaster and CK 3.3 would be similar to the Vapor 300.

As for the draw weight....just about every Fred Bear, Buckmaster and Jennings bow I have worked on peaks at least 4 to 5 pounds over the listed peak weight. So, your 60 pound bow is likely to peak a few pounds higher than that. Regardless, I doubt you will need more than 60...especially to kill a deer. I have been hovering between 60 and 65 pounds on my hunting bows for the last year or two and I have no problem whatsoever getting good accuracy and penetration out of my bows.

Hope this helps.
