bear charge..first compound bow for me!
 
Hey all..just got my first compound bow (i'm forty). Its a bear charge 70#set at 28 1/2 inch draw. I LOVE this bow. Any other bear owners here?

Yup, I have an Encounter. Bear makes a great bow for the price.

im a bear fan boy. i have owned 3 so far. the bear super kodiak (recurve), the odyssey II, and the bear charge. They make a good product, and have good customer service. I will be sticking with them for awhile.

HuntingkidPa does your bear charge really hoot 310 fps on the chronograph? I have the same bow but on the chron I am only getting about 230-235

if you are shooting 70# with a 30" draw length, and an arrow (with head) around 350 gr. then yes your bow will shoot the IBO Speed, which may actually be somewhere between 305-310 fps for this bow, cant remember. If your going to shoot light arrows like that get some limb savers. the limbs get a good bit of vibration because of the light arrow.
