Bear Archery Lights Out RTS

– Get Bear Archery’s most maneuverable bow and all you need to start shooting. This convenient combination starts with the Lights Out compound bow, the shortest and lightest high performance bow Bear Archery offers to hunters. The Lights Out’s performance starts with Bear’s patented compression molded Flare Quad limbs. This special limb design provides durability, smooth energy release, and equal stress distribution to efficiently and quietly deliver superior energy to the arrow, where it belongs. Noise and vibration are further reduced by the improved string suppressor and aluminum pivoting limb cups. The two-piece synthetic grip reduces vibration even further and provides the warmest grip available for cold weather hunting. The 8.75” brace height and minimum reflex machined aluminum riser deliver superior forgiveness and accuracy.

The Bear Archery Lights Out Compound Bow RTS Package delivers great arrow speed of 296-300 fps thanks to its Perimeter-Weighted Modular Single Cam system. Designed for a smooth, quiet draw and powerful release, the cam rotates quietly on a sealed stainless steel bearing and reduces cable friction with its asymmetric power track for better performance and longer cable life. Color: Realtree® APG HD®. Axle-to-axle length: 30”. Bow weight: 3.7 lbs.

Diamond by BowTech IceMan

– Diamond by BowTech IceMan Compound Bow delivers big energy on its target with deadly precision time after time with the deadly quiet, vibration-damping Center Pivot riser technology and Diamond’s proven Single Cam technology.

Diamond’s hardest hitting bow, the IceMan’s superior performance starts with its distinctive Center Pivot riser. A piece of incredibly strong, durably forged aluminum made with Diamond’s Zero Tolerance Assembly process, this skeletal riser delivers precision shot after shot from an extremely lightweight bow. This distinctive riser design works in conjunction with Diamond’s VFT parallel limb technology and its 65 – 80% letoff single cam powerplant to deliver an incredibly smooth draw and maximum energy to the arrow upon release. This design also nearly eliminates hand shock and noise after the shot by dispersing the leftover energy not delivered to the arrow. The result of this innovative design is an impressive arrow speed of 310 – 318 fps.

Utilizing Diamond’s single rotating mod, the Diamond by BowTech IceMan Compound Bow allows hunters to precision tune their bow to individual valley preferences with adjustable draw lengths from 24” – 30” in 1/2” increments, providing an individualized, custom fit you can’t get with most bows. A unique shelf trough and thumb groove design bring the arrow closer to your hand, reducing vertical torque and creating solid stability at full draw for increased accuracy. The bow’s slim, two-piece wood grip provides a great hold, even in cold weather.

The IceMan’s roller guard and carbon shaft string suppressor absorb string vibration, virtually eliminating noisy side-to-side nock travel and prolonging cable life. The string suppressor is placed directly in line with the stabilizer bushing to transfer any leftover vibration away from your hand after the shot.

Axle-to-axle length: 31-1/2”; 7-1/8” brace height. Color: Realtree Hardwoods HD®.

Bear Archery The Truth 2

admin — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:47:37 +0000

Bear Archery The Truth 2 Compound Bow

The end result of a collaboration between the hunting experts at Bear and Primos®, the Truth 2 compound bow delivers big energy (up to 318 fps) with incredibly smooth, quiet accuracy shot after shot. The Truth 2’s Perimeter-Weighted Modular Single Cam system provides the power to accurately launch arrows at speeds up to 318 fps shot after shot with a let off of 80%. This powerful cam rotates quietly on a sealed stainless steel bearing and reduces cable friction with a asymmetric power track for higher performance and longer cable life.

Bear’s patented compression molded Flare Quad limbs spread the stress of draw and release out evenly, delivering a smooth, quiet shot without vibration. “Zero tolerance fit” aluminum pivoting limb cups reduce limb vibration through its rubber isolation boots, which prevent any direct vibration from the limbs to the riser. Axle-mounted weighted dampeners provide top vibration absorption thanks to positioning at the far end of the limbs.

The superior forgiveness and accuracy of the Truth 2 comes courtesy of the 7” brace height and Bear’s minimized reflex machined 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum riser. Dual riser-integrated arc string suppressors reduce noise and vibration further by calming the string quickly after release. The Truth 2’s one-piece synthetic grip absorbs vibration even more while providing the warmest grip available in cold weather.
