Fred Bear SQ32 or PSE Firestorm Lite
 

I plan on buying a new bow after this season. These two have what I am looking for. Short ata,long brace hight,twin cams,lite weight, and under $500. I know I need to go shoot them but was looking for pros/cons to look for.Thank You.

Between these two I'd take the Bear every time. And it's not a twin cam, but a hybrid. OH, and I'm not a Bear fan either.

Go for the Bear. I'm not a fan of PSE at all. The bear has a higher quality, I guarantee it.

Nuthin aginst the bear. JMHO

Hondaman,
I'd have to say the Bear. I currently shoot one now (SQ) and love it. Very quite, good arrow speed (if your looking for speed), and very quite. Overall I am very pleased to this point with it.

I like both but would opt for the Bear as well. Though their popularity seems to be waning in recent years I still think they make a darn fine bow. Their new cam system has alot going for it.

Guess which one I choose????

RE: Fred Bear SQ32 or PSE Firestorm Lite
 

The Bear too? I never saw it coming.

:D

i shoot the older firestorm lite (single cam) and love it. easy to set up, good arrow speed, and well built. never shot a bear but no problems from pse.

I have heard that the Firestorm Lite is very hard to quite down. I have had very good luck with Fred Bear bows.

RE: Fred Bear SQ32 or PSE Firestorm Lite
 

I have a bow in my possession at the moment that is very similar to the Firestorm lite. It is actually relatively quiet in the big scheme of things. Alot of reflex in the riser though.

RE: Fred Bear SQ32 or PSE Firestorm Lite
 

I am also shooting the older (1 cam) Firestorm and it leaves nothing to be desired. Very compact, fast, light and more accurate then myself. In regards to the noise I don't think it is very loud, the deer don't jump it and it is quieter than the bows of those I hunt with, but I also haven't shot many bows to compare it too. It doesn't seem you can go wrong with either.
