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

What's your draw weight and draw length woodsman?

Woodsman88

70# and 29 inch length

huntingkidPA

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.
