would you choose the element or the instinct?this seems like a very hard decision for me they seem the same only differences i see are that the axle to axle lenghts are a 2 inch difference..and the brace heights are different.....which woul you choose....you think the 100 dollar difference is worth it

they are both good bows for the $$

Hopefully a Bear Archery expert will come to your aid...I wasn't seeing a lot of difference between the models either. Good luck with your new purchase!

anyone use any of these bows? im goin to sell my micro adrenaline next year or later this year to get one of these bows please help..

Kidd, I don't use either one of them but they both look good.

I think I would go with The Truth. That's a sweet looking bow.

Not to be nosy but how much are you looking to spend on a bare bow? Not to put down Bear but say you're going to spend $400 on the Instinct (Just a guess) You could get an AWESOME used bow for that much. My 1yr old Ross was just $350 and I'm shooting so good with it.


But assuming you have your heart set on the Bear bows. If it were up to me I would go with the Instinct. Generally speaking when you dip below that $399 mark in bows you can end up with bows with plastic bushings and alot of plastic components that break easily. There is NOTHING wrong with the used market.

i would to but these bows are my budget

Well the Instinct is $399 isn't it? I honestly would go to archerytalk and check the classifieds.
