RE: Fred Bear
See if you can shoot it and decide for yourself. Don't get caught up in the name on the bow...find something that feels good and is within your budget. PSE's are very popular, I bought one for my step-son and he (and I) have been very happy with it. My youngest shoots a Browning...also a nice bow. BTW, PSE makes the Browning bows...and heavier is sometimes not a bad thing...makes it more stable in the hand and thus more accurate.
Good luck...shoot some bows and find the right one for you...
