sorry....don't know anything about it.:eek:

I haven't used this bow but it is very similar to a Tenpoint. I had read somewhere that Horton had made crossbows for PSE in the past and now Tenpoint was making the crossbows for PSE. Maybe Tenpoint is making crossbows for Bear, too? Looks good anyway.

There's been some posts on various xbow forums about Bear recalls on xbows for trigger safety problems. Saw it fresh again recently, but don't know if it's the same recall or another one. There's a good post on AT by "Stosh" who either owns or works in a shop that sells lots of xbows. He lists most brands and their experiences w/ them, worth the read.

there was a write up on the F340 in HBM a coupple isshues back.. not quoting but it was said it was a good bow for a taller person do not know about the other modles, if you look at it you will see there is still a lot of Excal in that crossbow..

Henry: Gonna take a sec and expound on that for those who might not know: Excal, Bear, Jennings had a compound from about 2001 to 2004 called the "Maxpoint" in USA and "Paradox" in Canada. They were for the most part all Excal parts except the limbs and pulleys. I think they were rated for 330 fps, but since I'm not into speed, don't know. I have a Paradox and get 317 fps w/ 431 gr arrows. Hope this helps some.

I believe Bear was making the Maxpoint which was a Excal stock, trigger assembly and rail with compound limbs. I would say it's probably got more Excal genes in it than Tenpoint.

BTW the Maxpoint is a nice shooter too. Got one new in box off Ebay a while back.
