    As per shooting the same bows at the ATA I like your choices and I agree on the Bear legend for sure been shooting and selling bow for 30 years and the Legend rocked all those high end bows by far and We do not even sell Bear bows and for the price wow !!!!

      Just because a new bow comes out doesn’t mean the prior year bow is obsolete. It just means there is a new one that you may or may not like better.

      First compound bow I had at 9 , a bear junior. Won a provincial tournament 3 months after starting shooting a bow. Left the sport 2 years after. 49 now wanted to get back at it . Had a soft spot for bear bows.. everything decent is so expensive in other brands. So I picked up a bear legit that was on special cuz I can't afford anything else.. feels really good shoots awsome. Got rid of the biscuit arrow holder right out of the bat.. so I go in pro shops.. and they say ohhh that's a crappie bow... all of them... why?? If I could afford a 3000$ man would go for it now!. It's like all or nothing in this industry.. I whant to change the ordinary sight on it, for a tape ajustable for tak competition. In canada they are all over 400$ for the normal ones! That's the price I paid my bow complet in the first place... thanks for including a Bear bow in your listing.. I am going to prove them wrong with my crappie new bow with my mods on! 🤘👊👍
