Ive got the pantera. Ive shot both though. Sometimes I wish I would have got the shorter bengal. Plus its cheaper than the pantera too. Same performance pretty much too. The pantera is just longer and more stable. My suggestion would be if its strictly hunting and youve got a draw of 28 1/2 or shorter go with the bengal. If your gonna shoot some tournaments or your draw is over 28 1/2 get the pantera.
