Hunter06, the Bear Polar LTD was the first compound bow I ever hunted with. I shot two doe and a spike (legal at the time) with it, I think that was in the 80s!

that's interesting to hear early in. i've had mine since the middle of the summer. so far i'm pretty pleased with it even if it is an old bow. i've put a peep sight, a whisker bisquite, and some other new products on it and it shoots very well now. i've haven't gotten anything yet but hope to soon. it may be an old bow but it's new to me.

Shot a Fred Bear TRX........then gave it to my brother who still shoots it. It has killed a deer every year we have owned it. Great bow for $400.
