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.

My PSE has been good to me, good Co. with great cust. service.
Nuthin aginst the bear. JMHO

this is a toughy..two very good bows your talking about here..i did own a PSE bow before my fred bear i own now..but i also just harvested my first nice deer with it this year and i am very pleased with it..i guess go with what feels right for you..

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????

The Bear too? I never saw it coming.

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.
