As a retired building contractor time and money were always in short supply. I agree with what you said, you don’t need to spend a ton of money have enjoy the great outdoors! I have taken numerous deer over the years with the cheapest bows I could afford. I am currently shooting 5 year old Diamond Edge SB-1 and it fills my freezer every year. Thanks for putting out some great videos!
loving the videos, also glad there's someone on youtube that reviews bows that people actually buy and tend to own not just all the flagships of the top companies.
They're a great bow for the price. I've been shooting one and have taken and heap of pigs here in Australia. They're no rocket ship, but for the arrow weight I''m using (500grams) it does it well. Most shots are under the 50m (56yrd) mark and I've had no issues with quite a few pass throughs. I'm a fan on single cam bows, and this model rocks. As a note; I'm running a 60lb bow, thought about the 70lb but I'm getting old (53) and this thing is a great bow. I hunt with blokes running way more expensive gear and we both do just as well as each other (the old adage rings true: "its the Indian not the arrow". I think Bear have nailed it with the components, they're nothing flash but the do the job. Well done Bear.
super review mate. honest, straightforward and fun to watch. whoever gets this bow can be very happy. it's just a good all round bow. Thank you for the review and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Kind regards 🇳🇱
I have the adapt and it is probably my second favorite bows I have had so far I did have a bear arena 34 before and I was better with it but I also have gotten better with the adapt the longer I have it. Definitely a great bow that is more affordable. I did put a cable roller on it and upgraded my peep and will be getting a different rest after season but definitely worth the $560 I spent for it more or less set up. Great video wish I would have seen the give away for this bow but I am now following on insta and and subscribed on here keep doing it. I eventually want to buy a used omnia but price is just too much right now for me . I work construction and have two little ones with a third in the way. Hard to justify $1500 on a new elite . Keep up the budget bow reviews man. Great stuff
Trying to get into bow hunting here in Australia I think you may have sold me on one of those bows thanks for the great info opinion and content keep up the awesome work
Huge help. Well done. I had pretty much settled on the Legit or more likely the Species EV. But I shot these against an Adapt at my local shop. Now the Adapt plus hunting public is out. I believe that is going to be the ticket. This vid helped a good bit. Thank you.
Ok that it gonna be subscribed to your channel 😂 this is first video and look forward to watching more. I am kinda of leaning forward beat adapt maybe a bit higher end on bear now not sure yet. Keep it up.
Just ordered mine today and I’m pumped. Have had an early 2000s Hoyt that’s killed some nice deer. Just could never justify spending $1200 on a brand new bow and that not including anything for the set up. Shot my friends adapt last week and couldn’t believe how great it felt shooting around. I agree on the review out past 60 I could slightly feel some give here and there but with time could see being more confident. But 50 and in was shooting dimes. I think they nailed it. I get it’s not the fastest or latest greatest tech. But that wasn’t their goal. Their goal was to stick to an easy to tune but well shooting bow that someone could order and go kill a deer that same day without having to go to an archery shop because they’re having a headache setting up. Really loved the review and shooting the bow looking forward to getting mine next week. Awesome job Bear and THP guys.
Im still shooting my bear legion. All I need to have fun without alot of money invested. Spent more on my sights and stabilizers than I needed but still like to be able to adjust draw length and draw weight without spending money.
You said that most of the bear bows are similar in noise. Also, a good amount of vibration. How would they compare to a 2007 PSE Nova? 😂 I’m really desperate for an upgrade. Need help deciding between the Adapt+, Legend XR, or Alaskan XT! Please vote!
Now you figure in, you can get the complete setup for $629 w/Adapt Plus....they are going fast....Hotwire 3 Pin is $200...V Biscuit $80...Saves you about $100...Hey....
I love my adapt, ain't a deer in the US it won't harvest. It doesn't take a 2000 dollar bow to hunt, those bows are for the ones who want to brag and be for show
Love the reviews. Your Omnia vid sealed the deal for me and I ordered one a week ago. On a side note… would you mind straightening out the turkey plaque? ;)
Man that’s a great bow i have a bear. Assault. That’s at least 13 to 15 years old It has a ton of shots on it ! and it’s Starting to go down hill But if I had a dollar for every shot I took with it I would be rich lol 😂
Hey brother. Viewer from down under here 🇦🇺 Buying my first bow, been watching alot of your videos lately. To be honest, i was pretty set on the THP bear adapt, picked that over the hoyt torrex, but then i watched your alaskain review. In your opinion, which is the better bow if you dont mind me asking that in. Public forum. I will hunt in a year or so, but out of the box with a few upgrades like stabilisers, etc, which would you pick. Cheers, brother, I love the videos and the feedback is easy to understand for a newcomer like myself
If you plan on getting your own accessories I would go with the Alaskan bow only, gets some great speeds and is 4 lbs so u can dress it anyway you like and still is a light bow for long public hikes
@BackyardBows I was going to go to the alaskan package and just upgrade the stabiliser straight away and other parts through the year. But cheers, brother, i apreiate it. Love the channel. Really helps me out
If you find this bow to be less steady at aiming, I would try shooting it without the plastic grip for the more solid and repeatable bare riser to hand feel like most target compound bows. You might also try widening the stance to shoulder width. As I have gotten older, my stance has widened to now slightly wider than shoulder width.
Getting back into bow hunting again after a very long hiatus and definitely leaning towards the Bear Adapt after watching lots of videos. Still have to go shoot it though to see how that goes. Is it worth upgrading a little bit extra to get the adapt plus to get the extras it offers?
That's funny you mentioned Matthers old solo cam...I run a Matthews LX looking at getting new bow...really looking at the Adapt...do you need a bow press to adjust draw length?
Hey Brandon I have the adapt Plus, I keep running out of room with the sight it comes with Trophy Ridge Hotwire 440 grain arrows px10 parallel easton , I run out of room at 60 yards, any suggestions is that the bows limit?
IM 56 PARTIALLY DISABLED, WANNA GET A BOW TO SHOOT, BACK SURGERIES I HAD 9 I CAN PULL 60 LBS BUT SEEM LIKE 55 IS GOOD, I WENT TO LOCAL SHOP BUT PRICES ARE LITTLE CRAZY, YOU HAVE ANYTHING USED IN YOUR FLEET
Love these reviews. I'm interested in getting a bear archery bow. No pro bows stocked near me. For a pure 30 yards and under bow whith comfort on shoulders in mind, which bear bow would you suggest.
If you like the Adapt's riser and ATA length, the Bear Resurgence with hybrid cams has more speed at 335 IBO, and the Bear Resurgence LD with single cam has even smoother draw at 310 IBO.
I got the bear adapt the other day I'm definitely struggling I wish had a person like you to help me how do you measure draw length please give me some advice
@@BackyardBows reason I ask is I'm a big guy at 210 lb and that bow comes with 2 options 45#-60# or 55#-70# I'm new to bows and buying my first bow I'm pretty sure il be fine with the later but your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey man can you recommend a good carbon arrow to use with this bow a link would be great or a make model of a good arrow and a good tip for hunting I'm new and learning please get back to me cheers.
Starting out I would use mechanical over fixed, from there u have several I would recommend and have used in the field. All season I used swhackers and loved them, used rages for years when I was younger, g5 megameat, grim reapers, I usually have a mixed bag early season and use several, and the majority perform great

Love hearing it
Totally correct about the Bear brand being more of a blue collar brand they don’t go crazy with their prices like other brands

I’ve been eyeing this bow hoping to add it to my Hoyt satori for hunting!
The carbon bows now are 1,700-1,800. I like bear but there usually on the slower end for speed. My first bow was a bear!
I like new grading system. The old system was a steady 8/10 😅. Keep punching out great videos.
U not lying 😂
Good job on the adapt 👍👍👍.
🙏 was nice to see a solocam

Just came in this week will be the next review
I’m new to archery and will be picking up an Adapt.
Great first bow for many reasons

You don't need a bow press!
Can you review the bear species I know it
Like the adapt but I like the shorter ata

320 is fast. 25yd deer ain't gonna know what hit him lol. That bow is smooth
It was hard to give away 😂 I loved it
Would you choose this over the Legend XR?
Merry Christmas 🎉🎄❤️
Have you shot the adapt + yet? I just ordered it seems like it’ll be a little smoother than the original.

Love these reviews. I'm interested in getting a bear archery bow. No pro bows stocked near me. For a pure 30 yards and under bow whith comfort on shoulders in mind, which bear bow would you suggest.
You just watched it, Adapt 💯
do you know of a bow with a better score for the same price?
What stabilizer are you using here
Can this be shipped to EU?
The only thing I don’t like about this bow is the axel to axel is to long i like mine 30 A to A or less
This is not a comment I would have suspected, do you have a super short dl?
If you like the Adapt's riser and ATA length, the Bear Resurgence with hybrid cams has more speed at 335 IBO, and the Bear Resurgence LD with single cam has even smoother draw at 310 IBO.
