I'm not familiar with the bear bows but I bought a Diamond Justice after last years hunting seasons ended for only $399 at bass pro shops. Check out the Diamonds, they're awesome.

You having all the accessories makes it a lot easier!
All the major guys have their budget bow lines. Hoyt has Reflex, Matthews has Mission (Pretty sure that's right), and Ross bows tend to be a little cheaper also. Get your hands on every bow you can and let some arrows fly. Figure out what kind of things you like... grips and such... and go from there.
For instance, I can't stand Matthews grips. I only know that because I shot every bow in their 2007 lineup... most of them more than once.

If you want a Fred Bear, look at The Truth, Code, Instinct and even the Element. They are also coming out with The Truth 2 for their new line. They have their new bows up on their website. I bought the 07 Code about 2 months ago from a local shop, i cant complain. It's easy to tune and very forgiving, and fast. It more then did the job for me on that doe yesterday morning. Just shoot em all and see which fits ya best.

RE: Help Looking For A New Bow
if you have that kind of money to spend on just a bow I would recommend a bowtech allegiance the draw length is from 26-30 the only think is that to change the draw length you will have to take it in to get the modules changed out but that is a darn good bow and you can find dealers that still have the 2007 bows and they will sell them cheaper than what is on the price take. Becuase the 2008 bows are out I just picked up a new guardian a few weeks ago new in a box from the dealer for 680. You just have to talk to them and work something out. The sticker on the guardian is 750. Most new allegiance are 599 so you could probable talk them into what you are willing to pay for a bow and the diamond is the cheaper line of bowtech which is a very could bow but why buy mid grade when for the same price you can buy top of the line.
