New 2012 Bear Archery Legion Bow

Bear Archery took their best selling bow from the last two years and decided to make it faster and smoother!  The all new Bear Legion may be the best value on the market today, with the quality and performance of bows carrying twice the retail price tag.  The folks at Bear redesigned the grip to create less torque than it's predecessor the Strike.  They also upgraded the string suppressors to incorporate their Dual Arc Offset String Suppressors from some of their higher end bows.

Here are some of the quick statistics on the Bear Archery Legion Bow:

IBO:  318 FPS
Weight:  4.0lbs
Brace Height:  7"
Axle-to-Axle:  30.5"
Draw Length Range:  26"-31"  (fully adjustable at the lower cam, no modules or bowpress required)
Let-Off:  80%

Basically Bear has succeeded....the Legion takes one of their best bows to a whole new level.

Bear Archery 2010-11 Compound Bows - Draw Length Adjustment

As with most bow companies today, Bear Archery has simplified draw length adjustment on their compound bows.  The Bear Strike and Charge bows have cams designed with a universal module that moves and rotates on the cam.  The draw length on these bows can be adjusted by loosening the screws and moving the module along the cam.  The cam has a sequence of numbers (the highest number being the longest corresponding draw length) with corresponding holes for replacement of the module. To finalize the draw length adjustment process on these bows, the draw stop module on the cam must be moved to the corresponding number the module was moved (ie. move the module to the number 8 position, move the draw stop to it's corresponding 8 position).

The remaining Bear Archery bows in the 2011 lineup, the Carnage, Attack, Assault, and the Mauler all have draw length specific modules (VERY IMPORTANT:  they are specific to right-hand and left-hand as well).  These modules have to be replaced, and as with the other bows, to finalize the draw length adjustment, the draw stop located on the cam with a single Allen screw must be moved based on the corresponding number on the module.  The Ozark Source has the modules available should you find you need to fine tune your Bear Archery bow.  The links for each of these are below.

Best regards, and happy hunting!

Buzz Baits for Bass - A Bait for all Seasons

Since opening our retail business, we've committed ourselves to learn more about the tactics used by some of the local anglers in tournament situations.  We actively fish in our local club and that has enhanced what we have needed to know to help other anglers have an enjoyable fishing experience.  While most anglers keep the "top secret" info pretty close to the vest, you can't help but see what they use and when they use it.  My perception of the buzz bait was, summertime, early morning, late evening.  Short window, get there early and you might expect 30 minutes of action.

That's partly right.

Buzz baits are one of the top secrets used by anglers in all seasons, including winter!  We've had tournaments won by guys slowly cranking a buzz bait in 45 degree water in February.  Most anglers position their boat parallel to the bank and work the outer banks along the shoreline.

Another perfect situation is a cloudy day.  Windy, even better.  All seasons, mind you.

Going back to the tournament guys......they always have one rod with a buzz bait tied on.....at all times!

Good luck.  I hope it works out for you!

Trophy Ridge has just "Revolution"ized the arrow rest market with the new Revolution.  See our listing for this item and the accompanying video.  Trophy Ridge Revolution Arrow Rest  What do you think about this?
