First off I really like bear bows. I own a crux for hunting and it’s smooth as silk to shoot. I also own an anarchy, which I use to shoot completions. Having said that, I really don’t like the new integrated system. I’m not one who would buy the RTH packages- don’t I’d end up taking everything off, maybe use the stabilizer as a side bar. The integrated sights and rest are crazy expensive. And not having anything mounted to those areas-gives bow an odd look. IMHO. That’s why I’m calling dealers looking for whitetail maxx.
The Persist as well as the Executes are way too heavy. I owned and immediately sold the execute because it was nearly 5lb bare.. that’s just too much. I want the Perists but the weight is extreme. Please make the next years top of the line bows lighter. I am not the only one saying this. Almost every single reviewer with one exception has stated it’s surprisingly heavy. The Alaskan XT have likely outsold the Executes and the Persist because it’s a reasonable weight. Anything over 4.2lb bare for a 30 or 33” bow is not grabbing any attention. I’m a lifelong Bear guy. Please go lighter in 2026!
Persist 33 looks like a very nice bow
Niice looking !

Fusion finish please !!! Never did like how my bear venue would chip so easily. Hope an improvement on strings and cables? Other than that nice bows!!

That's probably why they don't mention the weight of the bow. Otherwise, beautiful, functional bows
