RE: bear vs. jennings
I had a Bear/Jennings "Stealth" bow back in 92'. Short ATA, 3 1/4" cams, it wasn't quietest bow but man was aluminum movin'. I believe Bear bought out Jennings after Jennings loss in court to Allen over a patent suitin 78' or 79'.
Papa Bear bought them shortly there after. I'm not 100% sure though.
