I don't know why people would be surprised, Fred Bear was in the Archery business long before all the Boutique brands even existed. My first bow was a 25# Bear recurve 55 years ago or so...
I have such a high level of respect for you Tim, for being completely honest and saying how you say about you know that must be the boat but really it's the shooter because it's the truth but a lot of people will not put something on social media saying that it's them you know. So I commend you for that and I have the highest amount of respect for you for doing that man and it helps me learn as well. Thank you
Outstanding! We really appreciate and enjoy the TAC experience you all brought to us. Thank you so, so much as you cover this Alaskan. I am so pleased and impressed with mine. I will keep an eye on my bearings. I am putting 100-120 shots a week. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how well things will hold up doing this? Many thanks.
I have a Alaskan xt and freakin love it. Put a set of 60x set of strings, a 300 dollar sight, nice stabilizer and an ultra rest. It’s just as nice as my Darton sequel 31
Hi Tim, so there's a ton of guys already doing bow, release, arrow, and TAC videos. Not that I don't enjoy them all, but I think one category of videos that is missing is hunting gear, rules, regulations, license purchase, how to do a Western style hunt, things like that. For example, I live in WI and am just a tree stand whitetail hunter, but that's not to say I wouldn't be interested in a Western hunt at some point. Do a series of videos that goes through your process on things from finding a spot to hunt, what restrictions there are e.g. broadhead cut diameter, what kind of boots people should get, what you should look for in a pair of binos, packs, etc. Even how to make sense of zones, how it pertains to what license to buy, and how to read through that state's DNR information. In WI it's very simple, just go into a gas station and that's it, so trying to make sense of some of the DNR material for states out West can be difficult. I think an in depth "How To" series would be valuable information for anyone entertaining the idea of that style of hunt, and is a category that isn't really touched on in the UA-cam world. I know you're trying to hit 100k subscribers, so hopefully this helps!
Would also be interested in more of your camera and filming gear. How you set up your shots for your weekly videos and how that might change with trying to film a hunt. - Walk through your thought process for telling a story via film.
Rules, regulations, licenses, that is all going to vary state to state, sometimes county to county in the same state. He could do one specifically for his location, but it would have to be specific to his location and not taken as rules for everywhere as western states all have different rules and regs. Gear, hunts, scouting, how to's etc are flooded through all of the channels as it gets closer to hunting seasons. Early year, it's all about bow builds and reviews, spring/summer it's tac/3d events, arrow builds, release testing etc. Late summer/fall it's all about hunts, gear, broadheads, etc. Every single archery channel usually follows the same pattern. So, right now all the videos you are watching about their bow build, release reviews, arrow setup and tac/3d events, will transition to more of the hunting side come July/August. Then there will be a ton of guys doing everything hunting with their videos instead.
As a person who has started to have trouble with my bow shoulder I would like to see a video discussing how to properly set your shoulder when drawing the bow.
The dynamic between you guys was very interesting. It sure seemed the Bear bow was definitely in sync with you most of the time. It sure helps when you have equipment that you trust and you are familiar with. I have had bearing failure in both Mathews and Hoyt bows of recent years, I often wonder if the bearings are made somewhere other than the U.S. Maybe MJJ would know. Thanks for sharing.
One of my friends bought a brand new Bear compound last year. He doesn't shoot it very much yet... In 6 months he's replaced EVERY part of the bow. Strings, limbs, cams, bearings, cable guard... Even the riser!
I really enjoy watching the bow/gear changes and testing. Im a gear junkie and love to play around with stuff. I dont have quick access to a bow shop and I havent learned enough to tune my own stuff, nor do I have the equipment so watching your videos is very satisfying for me. Keep up the content!
You should do a bow build with older flagship bows. There are a large amount of older bows on marketplace and even at pro shops for a really good price. I went from an elite basin to a Hoyt helix. I got it for 300 bucks and was afford to add the accessories I wanted. I think it would be awesome for you to do something like that! Really enjoy your content!
Your comments on form are super relevant as that’s where the difference between a poor execution and great one is determined. Showing the less costly bows are fully capable of excellent performance hopefully will get more people into archery? It would be great if you would do an indoor 5-spot and shoot a 300-60x to prove the bows potential. Good luck with that lol. 👍👍
Appreciate you being real and honest. It's nice seeing someone not acting like they are the greatest archer of all time. At least you acknowledge your weakness and strength. Most guys have too much pride to admit that! Good stuff Tim! Keep at it brother!
Hey Tim. Great to meet you briefly in San Antonio. Could you summarize the gear and setups each of you used and the philosophy behind the choices? Bow, sights, arrows and arrow weights, stabs, etc. My apologies if this was done already, but having it all in one video would be very enlightening. Cheers!
Tim, I love your channel and have watched for a while now. I had been shooting a Bowtech Realm X for a number of years and it's a fine bow, but I haven't felt completely comfortable with it and it requires perfect execution for me to get my best accuracy. I purchased an Elite Ethos this year and even when I don't execute perfectly I'm still getting great accuracy. I remember that it came down to the Bowtec h or the Ethos for you, perhaps take another look at the Ethos?
I appreciate you. I’ve learned how to shoot a bow because of you and MFJJ and Dan! Thanks for showing me that there was something out there that I can really learn and appreciate and love to do, so thank you I definitely appreciate you.🙏🏽
Really appreciate the work you’re putting in for us who are in the mid range bow market. Flagship is nice, but that’s not always an option. Great job Tim!
I know you mentioned the movement was on you not the bow, but going back and watching your shoot off videos to determine your bow for tac, the bear still moved all over the place while the others appeared to hold more steady. Not trying to talk crap about the bear, but if the balance is bad and it's not a stable platform to begin with it's going to magnify the issues you were having. What's impressive though is even with all the movement you had on your shots, you still shot incredibly good with it, which again makes it seem more like you were fighting the bow not yourself. Any time it's felt like I was fighting myself, form was bad, tired, shoulder not doing to well etc, my shots were miserably bad. When it was more fighting with the bow, the shots were still good, not great, but still good. The last few videos, it looked as though you were forcing yourself to make it work, and you did make it work.
Dood the weekly videos and podcast is always something I look forward to all week! I recently learned "huckle bearer" is was Val said in tombstone, huckle is the handle on a casket. Not trying to correct you just felt like Ricky Bobby when I heard that last week, "I lived my life by that!"
I'm new to archery, but so far it seems like golf. Bryson can take a $200 set of junior clubs from Walmart and easily beat scratch golfers with $4,000 club sets. It's more about the indian than the bow.
Are you gonna test the PSE aluminum since it’s out when you’re reconsidering the flagship? The comfort to performance ratio seems like it would be up your alley since you liked the Hoyt so much last year. If I didn’t like the elite grip so much I would’ve went PSE
Man ive been considering the purchase of a new bow. Im too poor to afford a matthews or hoyt cause they are too proud of their product and OVER PRICE THEM but its apparent u can perform the EXACT same way with a bear as the “NAME BOWS” performed. Plus bears are affordable. My question is, is there any issues with getting ur slider to sight in past 60-70 yds without ur scope housing hittin ur arrow? I recently bought the spot hog fast eddie xl double pin for my bear approach and i can only get 60 yds before it hits my arrow.
Nice job Tim great content as always hair is looking tough get you a pimp trimmed out short beard and let the hair grow that's a good flow, you are flat getting better a lot you,d kick my butt, great job Tim way to network and make friends smart thinking, God bless

Would love to hear more about the bearing you had to replace and how Bear handled it, etc.

It was nice to briefly meet you at TAC! I hope to run into you again in the future!
Thanks my friend nice to meet you as well
Did you say who’s this archer with no teeth? lol
As a person who has started to have trouble with my bow shoulder I would like to see a video discussing how to properly set your shoulder when drawing the bow.

A pro filmer must have filmed the opening clip tbh
Yall should come to Oklahoma and shoot at SHOT THE 3D EXPERIENCE!!! Would love to see yall there
Omg it's bow disciplines
😂

Yooo I made Tim’s video! Had a blast in SA

I thought you did awesome just like I thought you would! Great job Tim.
Appreciate ya!
I appreciate you. I’ve learned how to shoot a bow because of you and MFJJ and Dan! Thanks for showing me that there was something out there that I can really learn and appreciate and love to do, so thank you I definitely appreciate you.🙏🏽
Looking forward to hearing how the budget bow holds up :)
Really appreciate the work you’re putting in for us who are in the mid range bow market. Flagship is nice, but that’s not always an option. Great job Tim!
I like the budget bow stuff because it fits my minimal budget, I’d love to be shooting a flagship bow of course just not in the cards at the moment.
I know you mentioned the movement was on you not the bow, but going back and watching your shoot off videos to determine your bow for tac, the bear still moved all over the place while the others appeared to hold more steady. Not trying to talk crap about the bear, but if the balance is bad and it's not a stable platform to begin with it's going to magnify the issues you were having.

Are those Oakley sutro sunglasses? So glad to see people breaking away from the pit vipers
Dood the weekly videos and podcast is always something I look forward to all week! I recently learned "huckle bearer" is was Val said in tombstone, huckle is the handle on a casket. Not trying to correct you just felt like Ricky Bobby when I heard that last week, "I lived my life by that!"
Tim you're a real one! Keep up the good work 💪🏹
Awesome videos! Keep them coming..You and MFJJ should test out the Scott Fusion release!
I'm new to archery, but so far it seems like golf. Bryson can take a $200 set of junior clubs from Walmart and easily beat scratch golfers with $4,000 club sets. It's more about the indian than the bow.
Well I definitely enjoyed all of the videos you guys made from TAC. The 2 podcast money as well!
Are you gonna test the PSE aluminum since it’s out when you’re reconsidering the flagship? The comfort to performance ratio seems like it would be up your alley since you liked the Hoyt so much last year. If I didn’t like the elite grip so much I would’ve went PSE
Great video will done
Dude come to Iowa in August.
Good video!
What does that mean that you blew out a bearing? How does that happen, is it an easy fix, can you upgrade bearings?
Scroll back a few vids on Josh’s channel we did the bearing replacement
Loved all the tac footage, and you and mfjj podcast with the crew. Keep this shit going!!
What's the discount code for Combat Veterans?
Man ive been considering the purchase of a new bow. Im too poor to afford a matthews or hoyt cause they are too proud of their product and OVER PRICE THEM but its apparent u can perform the EXACT same way with a bear as the “NAME BOWS” performed. Plus bears are affordable. My question is, is there any issues with getting ur slider to sight in past 60-70 yds without ur scope housing hittin ur arrow? I recently bought the spot hog fast eddie xl double pin for my bear approach and i can only get 60 yds before it hits my arrow.
Tim is hella underrated
Thanks my boi
...and its a good looking bow!
Assassins use a $50 Saturday Night Special and seem to be pretty damn good at their accuracy so I think it’s the man not the bow/gun
What in the anime...
Nice job Tim great content as always hair is looking tough get you a pimp trimmed out short beard and let the hair grow that's a good flow, you are flat getting better a lot you,d kick my butt, great job Tim way to network and make friends smart thinking, God bless
How do you like the Bear Alaskan vs the Darton Consequence?
The bear costs less, the darton seems like it'll last longer durability wise
If you’re looking to trade out the flagship you should try the darton sequel. It’s even better than the consequence
Tim have you ever shot a TRX 34? I think the trx would be an awesome 3d/ hunting rig.
Tim you should bring josh and come to Oklahoma and shoot at SHOT THE 3D EXPERIENCE!!!
What was your score?
James is the man
Thanks for your thoughts…..would you say a two year old flagship bow would be a better investment with $500?
Awesome!
Hi tim
👍👏👏👏
ADAPT ALL DAYYYYYYYYYYY
You already had problems with the bow. That's unexcepable. Get a good flagship one.
