I just picked up a Bear Instinct package at Bass Pro for 299. Its got a rest, sight, and quiver. It flat out smokes the arrows I have now. Pluss I didn't have to spendtwo or three times the price of this one to get a decent bow. Idon't have a stabilizer yet and am notsure I will need one.It may just mean more weight. Its smooth drawing and shoots nice...

I've had otherBear bows in thepast, and in fact have several Bear Traditional bows. I never had an issue with quality. Thecheaper bows were a bit cheap looking by todays standards but in the time when they were new they were fine. The function just as welltoday as they always havetoo.

I have a longbow from the 50's... Its very nice and shootssweet. So I give them credit for makingsome great bows over the years.
