I wax frequently.

As for the Bear Element I think its great but I am such a non techie when it comes to bows thatmy review istainted.

FirstI should say that I am a bowhunter and my only real goal is to put an arrow in a 3 circle at 25 yards or less with solid regularity.

My previous bow was a 1989 Browning Mirrage. I shot it at 80# 29 draw. The browning.. I thought was fast but it was loud and not very smooth. it seemed like keeping it tuned was a PIA.

The element to me seems smooth and fast. whats even better I tuned it up in July and it stayed in good tune till I hung it up in late october after my 3rd bow deer of the season. I bought it off ebay for $249 and many of the accesories came off my browning. I like it and it serves my needs well.
