I don't know much about Crossbows, but Bear has been around for a long time and makes some good archery equipment.


I like the looks of this one.
Thx

I have that exact bow. I killed 3 deer this year with it and the season is still going. Simple, accurate and you can do most of the work yourself.

I bought a killer instinct burner 415 last year for $199 scope and three bolts included. Limbs blew up after about 50 shots. They replaced the limbs and I upped my arrow weight and it has been flawless since. I've probably shot it 150 times since. I've shot it out to 60yds and it holds a softball group.

Or, you can wait and pick up last year's Latest, Greatest Thing from someone who HAS to have THIS year's Latest, Greatest Thing.

I bought a Bear Vanish crossbow 3/4 years ago now and have taken 7/8 deer with it. It was less than $300 out the door then, and I think it's actually produced by a outfit called man kung in Taiwan....but, this thing is a tack driver (most are, I guess), but I would buy another Bear crossbow....I am super impressed with my crossbow.
