So I recieved my attack today brand new in the box. Cant say anything about how it shoots because i'm sending it in for the 70 lb swap, but it feels great in my hand. Light, draws smooth and holds really nice. It put it right back in the box and am sending it out to bear tomorrow. Cant wait to get it back and start shooting. Reviews will follow.

Can't wiat to hear how she does. The only bow I've owned is my Bear Instict. I had it since I bought it new in 2005 I believe. I still love it. I will be getting it restrung this weekend and should make it even better. I am not a fan of the newer grips, but other than that I would love to upgrade to an Attack bow given the chance and wouldn't hesitate to buy another Bear bow. The only other company that I think yields the same value and quality would be a Martin Bow.

I have also shot the attack. I thought it was a sweet bow. Small, Quiet and plenty fast. They might not be the most talked about, but they have some nice bows.

Agreed. I'm not about to NOT check one out. I thought his post was about the most helpful thing I've read on this bow yet.

If you think $750 is to much you can go on ebay and get a Bear Attack fully loaded with sight and 6 Carbon Arrows cut and bow set to poundage and draw for $750 with free shipping thats a great deal!

I purchased an Assault and am impressed. 60 lb limbs, set at 54 lbs. I did put grommets with zip ties as retainers to get the suppressors closer to the string, after lowering poundage. Draw length set up was an experiment also. 29 inch module, measured dl of 29 1/4ish. Moved draw stop to the 28 position, string to the + position, just right, shoots great. I did wrap the grip area with tennis racket tape.

This bow is light, quick, quiet and fun to shoot. Uses the same cam as the Attack, different limbs and riser?

I put some arrows through it before installing the peep. The strings appear stable, NO peep position change in approximately 500 shots.

2 garden terrosists have been eliminated - 15 and 24 yards, clean kills with a XX75 and judo point.

The bow was purchased from a shop on ebay for $549, whisker biscuit, sight, quiver and free shipping. I would have paid more locally, but no shops carried them. I did upgrade the quiver to the model one, quiet, solid and well made also.

Seems to be a quality bow at a great price.

And I've owned bows from 7 or more different manufacturers (Diamond, Hoyt, Darton, Oneida, PSE, Pearson, Martin, High Country - I think,) over the last 2 years. Some had cams that were too aggressive for my liking. One just had terrible cam lean issues. Others didn't satisfy me in the "feel" department. This Bear caught me offguard - I did not expect it to perform this well. But it does - for me anyway, it may not for others.
