[QUOTE="kamml, post: 4950641, member: 20373"] I went with a Bear crossbow a couple years back. I was thinking its a great old name and should be a great product. My criticism of it is that the darn thing is too heavy, 7-9 lbs total. For me crossbows are hard to carry in the "at ready position" and almost impossible to sight and shoot quickly from from a slung back carry position. Plus you need a shooting rest, a mono pod/bi pod or some sort to rest the front end on when you aim and shoot if you are still hunting. I can't run and gun with it like I do with my bow, BP or CF rifles. So my advice is go as light as you can with as technically configured a bow as you can afford. The Bear is a great cross bow, its a reverse compound configuration so its narrow, has thumb safety rails, rope cocker (just squat and stand) it has good speed and it has the dry fire safety, plus an adjustable trigger. Its accurate with mechanical broad heads with its mounted scope out to 40 yd.s easy. From a fixed stand it would be great, but as I hunt public land its just a great dust collector... :rotf: [/QUOTE]
