Restock Alert 10/31/23: We have the 55-70lb Adapt+ back in stock in store and on our website. Hit the link below! betteroutdoors.net/collections/online-500-700-bow-packages/products/bear-archery-adapt-rth-the-hunting-public-compound-bow
How do you level the second access on the Hotwire sight? My sight is all the way left just to hit middle from 20 yards to 60 I’m three lines away from the end on the right. Thanks in advance.
Great question that the two I’m looking at as well as a newbie and I’m going to look at my shop tomorrow I now they have they Adapt+ I called them but can a experienced guy help us out here???
Got my nephew and his GF into bow shooting after they got to shoot a mathews v3X similar to mine and they both got the bowtech edge 320, and for the money it's a very good Bow for the money and starting out.. they shoot pretty smoothly and have held up well after a year of alot of shooting and being banged around
Im digging that bottom lands camo big time. Bear is bringing it on strong with their mainline bows. Huge fan of Bears new bow, saying that and i own two other flag ships from bowtech and elite.
Did the species ev come with the limb stop??? When I ordered my bow directly from bear last year i didn't get one!! just the cable stop on the cam Thanks great review!! i will buy from you next time.
Hey George, thanks foe watching! Unfortunately the Species EV has no limb stop capability despite it and the Adapt sharing the same bottom cam (or nearly the same anyway). The Species EV has only the cable stop.
Do these have the same size idler wheel as the Resurgence LD? I love the giant cam and wheel on the Resurgence LD model. Not sure why they went back smaller ? I think the larger idler wheel gives a smoother pull and better string angle
Excellent description & demonstration. Huge, huge help. Very informative. I am definitely interested in this bow. Looking hard at the Species & Legit for over a year. Budget ultimately dictates these days. I recently shot the old model Adapt. Bow Shop gent recommended I try it. It was smoother through the entire draw than the Species. Is this worth the additional money from the Species in your opinion? Thank you for great content.
Thanks for watching! I suggest the Adapt if it's possible, especially the new Plus being it comes with a whole lot for just an extra $100, over the regular Adapt. They should be hitting our website any day now 👍
Just getting into compound bow hunting. Mid 50s. Looking at the Bear Species or the Adapt + . 26" draw not sure where I'd be as draw weight. Which do you recommend? also 60lb or 70lb limbs? From your reviews doesn't seem like I could go wrong with either one.
I wouldn't get too carried away even on the 72 as you will wreak havoc on the nock travel/cam rotation and opens the door for some terrible high/low paper tears & broadheads/bare shafts.
It is a very first step bow and can be passed down to a younger shooter too which can be handy. We actually quit selling those as the Species EV was more bang for the buck. The Adapt+ is even more so.
@BetterOutdoorsarchery yea I agree with you....I just purchased an adapt plus from your website. Can't wait till I get it. Going to use it in January here in AZ.
Yes they do, market demand has spoken. Important to note, they do not come with the Hotwire sight. That has been the main selling point to the Plus package 👍
That's a super tough question tbh. I like the draw of the Adapt but the speed of the Resurgence. Now that the Adapt+ is out, that really makes it harder being how nice the accessories are that come with it
We have been short on time unfortunately. I am not sure that we will have the opportunity to do it this season. We're almost out of them in store as well.
One inherent characteristic of single cam bows is that the bowstring is double length and sometimes a standard peep can turn different degrees shot to shot. Sometimes I have to adjust the peep almost 90 degrees off at rest so it will align at draw (PSE Stinger). Maybe I need more twists in the bowstring to stabilize it better. I am not a fan of peeps that align with an elastic band pointed at my eyeball.
Most definitely. Single cams benefit the most from a upgraded string to help that. Very few of our packages end up using a tube peep and instead go to an aluminum style peep.
I had a Ben Pearson recurve as a teenager and loved it. Of course I was young and strong. I got out of archery for many years but started shooting again when I was about 30. It was all about compounds then and I bought 3 Martin bows in about 3 years. I enjoyed them all. I also bought an “Indian” bow I believe was a Miles Keller (?). I then bought a Hoyt which I still have 35 years later. I have since sold all but the Hoyt which I used last year to take a javelina in Az. After selling the other compounds my wife bought me a Martin Mamba. I have also taken javelina with that. I then went crazy and got 2 custom long bows. I have taken javelina in Az with those and wild pigs in Ca. Now that I am 70 and have had torn rotators in both shoulders I am back to a low draw weight compound! My point is that flinging arrows is great fun with a true stick and string or a compound. Just get to it.
I would love to see a real world speed test on this. really digging these reviews. super infromative
I really enjoy your reviews/videos, Dalton. Hope you keep them up! 👍👍

The magus stringer is a great broadhead. I shoot them out of my Mathews V3X 29.

This is a great video. Thank you.
Great informative video, Thanks,
Adapt+ or Alaskan XT, which one should I buy as a newbie

I put a pse roller cable slide on my bear resurgence ld works great
Did the same with my species big difference I love it.
I want to put a roller cable on but heard that you need the put a serving on the cable to avoid cable wear
@@ericseibert3151 yes the string has to be served but any bow shop can do in in about 10-15 minutes
Im digging that bottom lands camo big time. Bear is bringing it on strong with their mainline bows. Huge fan of Bears new bow, saying that and i own two other flag ships from bowtech and elite.
I find their mainline price bows are the best fit for our needs in that category too!
Did the species ev come with the limb stop??? When I ordered my bow directly from bear last year i didn't get one!! just the cable stop on the cam Thanks great review!! i will buy from you next time.

Thanks for your help and great video's!!!
Good review
Should i buy this!?? Ive been shooting a bear encounter since 2012 .. and want to upgrade without spending 1000+ on a bow
Between this and the Alaskan XT, it's tough to pick!!! Luckily both are in stock right now
Thanks for the video review. Can you ship these to Australia?
Do these have the same size idler wheel as the Resurgence LD? I love the giant cam and wheel on the Resurgence LD model. Not sure why they went back smaller ? I think the larger idler wheel gives a smoother pull and better string angle
As a lefty shooter, looks like the adapt+ is not an option. Can you change out cable slides for roller slides easily?
Do you think this is a better bow than the paradigm?
I don't not. The Paradigm and Alaskan XT are much better options.
Love This, Great job.... Ordering one for the wife.....

Do you think this bow over the legend XR RTH?
How do you adjust the draw length and draw weight?
Just getting into compound bow hunting. Mid 50s. Looking at the Bear Species or the Adapt + . 26" draw not sure where I'd be as draw weight. Which do you recommend? also 60lb or 70lb limbs? From your reviews doesn't seem like I could go wrong with either one.
Both are good the adapt is longer ata than the species
Question. I have the adapt and it’s a #70 how much do you think I can safely twist up the cables? I feel #72 is fine what about #75?
I wouldn't get too carried away even on the 72 as you will wreak havoc on the nock travel/cam rotation and opens the door for some terrible high/low paper tears & broadheads/bare shafts.
Brace height is 6.75"?
Not 6.5"?
Will you be getting more of these in ?
We hope! We do have Alaskan XT's and Paradigms back in stock. Everything is way backorder for us right now if it's not on our rack!
What is your opinion on the bear legit?....ive had one for past 2 seasons...just was wondering what you thought about it?
It is a very first step bow and can be passed down to a younger shooter too which can be handy. We actually quit selling those as the Species EV was more bang for the buck. The Adapt+ is even more so.
@BetterOutdoorsarchery yea I agree with you....I just purchased an adapt plus from your website. Can't wait till I get it. Going to use it in January here in AZ.
They actually have a left handed version of this bow on their website now
Yes they do, market demand has spoken. Important to note, they do not come with the Hotwire sight. That has been the main selling point to the Plus package 👍
Do you recommend the resurgence rth or the adapt plus for their first bow?
That's a super tough question tbh. I like the draw of the Adapt but the speed of the Resurgence. Now that the Adapt+ is out, that really makes it harder being how nice the accessories are that come with it
What happened to the Execute review?
We have been short on time unfortunately. I am not sure that we will have the opportunity to do it this season. We're almost out of them in store as well.
I’m 6 foot two how old is Bea good about to start with my wingspan of 76
You'll be pushing its limits! I'd wait for a Paradigm if I had that much draw length.
@@BetterOutdoorsarchery do you know when that would be coming out
We hope to see those in the next month or two. We have a video on it out as well.
@@BetterOutdoorsarchery well, hopefully you get them in stock I will buy one right hand 70 pound draw a bow doesn’t matter the color
Hi.
Speed test coming soon?
Just bought one today set up to hunt shooting 273

Do you have one of these bows now?
We expect more in 2-3 weeks 👍
Compound isnt archery.
If your comparing a long bow or recurve to a compound....then compare long bow and recurve to spear throwing
A more appropriate comment would be that the crossbow isn't archery.
I had a Ben Pearson recurve as a teenager and loved it. Of course I was young and strong. I got out of archery for many years but started shooting again when I was about 30. It was all about compounds then and I bought 3 Martin bows in about 3 years. I enjoyed them all. I also bought an “Indian” bow I believe was a Miles Keller (?). I then bought a Hoyt which I still have 35 years later. I have since sold all but the Hoyt which I used last year to take a javelina in Az.

I have taken javelina in Az with those and wild pigs in Ca. Now that I am 70 and have had torn rotators in both shoulders I am back to a low draw weight compound! My point is that flinging arrows is great fun with a true stick and string or a compound. Just get to it.
It is if you want to hunt with a bow ethically
🤓 ok.
