Fred Bear Bows have really come around in the last 4-5 years. They are truly something to look closely at, as they build some very nice (and quiet!) bows for great prices!

I just picked up a 70lb Lights Out! for $263+ tax from a local shop.
I re-used my whisker biscuit and truglo sights, and bought a dozen GoldTips.
A new bowand new arrowsandset up for $350 out of pocket...!!!
It easily compares to other manufacturers packages in the $500-600 ranges. I get club members asking me if they can try my bow all the time...and I'm starting to see quite a few Lights Out!, Done Deal, and Truth 2 bows on my range...

Very smooth, very forgiving, and well made bows. I shot at least a dozen bows from other manufacturers in the $400-500 price range (bare), before settling on the Lights Out!
I feel like it was every bit as great of a bow, with just as much quality...at a much lower price.

I'm a fan of the new Bear bows.
