i have a question about acouple of bows. i am on a budget and have a choice between wither a bear element for 299.00 or a mission arhcery for 379.00. Anyone have any experrience with either one or have any suggestions?

They are both great bows, I don't think you can go wrong with either.

for that price range no question,Fred bear instinct.The instinct is faster and has more par. limbs then both and it sells new on ebay for about $250.there was a blind bow test done in 07 and the instinct placed 3rd out of 9,it was also shooting aganst mathews,bowtech,hoyt,psc,ect....

I just checked D.I.C.K. 's and they have the Fred BearElement on sale for $199.98 What a DEAL!

Sixgunluvr,
Do you have a link to that bow at dicks, I couldnt find it on there sight
Thanks

Do a store locator search on their website for WV and it will show their store in Barboursville WV, call their number and they will ship it to a D.I.C.K.'s near you. That's what they told me anyway.

Thanks for the heads up

Personally I am biased towards Martin...I have been shooting them since the beginning for me....I have been shooting the Cheetah for the last couple of years and I love it. If you prefere something a little longer, it's brother the Bengal is just as nice...

How can one describe a Cheetah, other than light, quick and very deadly! This compact hunting bow features a reflexed riser and fully parallel limbs for performance with none of the extras... no noise, no vibration, no recoil. M-Pro cams, with a new-for-08 adjustable draw stop, delivers amazing speed from a silky smooth draw. Also new for 2008 is a slimmer grip profile for increased comfort and improved accuracy. We built the Cheetah to be a durable, rugged, compact hunting bow that requires no excuses…and then we improved it.
