I looked at that bow myself as it looks like a nice bow so I too inquired about how it shot. Friends said it shoots pretty well. My apprehension comes with the bow being just what it is, a modern made Bear bow. They just don’t make em like they used to and I only shoot the old ones when they were made with some quality.

I believe the Bear Montana goes for about $350-$370. Why spend it on a Bear when you could get a well made Bama Long bow in the hunter model for the same price! I’m sure there are other bowyers out there too who make a great bow in that price range. It will probably shoot better, feel better, be hand made and a one of a kind, and you will help keep some very skilled and deserving small business owners in business who constantly struggle to compete with big business and assembly line products.

Just my two cents:)
