I have a Fred Bear Epic Extreme bow and absolutely love it. My parents bought me a Bear grizzley in high school but I since wanted a smaller faster bow and bought my Epic Extreme. I personally think these bows are right up there with Matthews and Bowtech. Does Anyone else shoot Fred Bear bows anc what are your opinions on them. Last season I was shooting indoors at this archery shop and this guy had the team realtree bow. The only thing I could hear was the arrow hitting the target. I couldn' t get over how quiet it was. I' ve rambled on enough. Thanks for any input. Paul

JD, ' right up there with Matthews and Bowtech' . That may be streaching it. For hunting it is all many people will every need. You will shoot a Bear properly set up for you better than a Mathews or Bowtech set up for someone else.
