Bear Legion Review..... Bear Legion Review..... Fit and Finish......10...Flawless, the coating feels thick. Strings.....5...there cheap, will need to replace sooner than later, but for now it will shoot just fine Grip...9-9.5....nice slim non torque grip. It will be a tad cold for the winter. I wish Bear would spend the extra and put the better wrap or the upgraded grip from the upper end bows on.....I will just put some tourney wrap on it. E2 Cam..9.5..easy to adjust, even for a dope like me, had it adjusted in minutes Draw....9...Smooth, easy, slight hump at the end. No creep at all, not a slight hint that it want to take off. Hold it forever. I would give the bear truth or the truth 2 cam a 10 and or the black ice cam system a close 10. I would say the eliptical cam is the easiest to pull out of them all At the shot.....10....no doubt this is the quietest and smoothest bow i have ever shot. the only thing i have on this bow is a limbsaver 4.5 inch stabilizer, absolutely no shock and no kick, just dead still in my hand. A close comparison to the quietness and smoothness from a different brand would be the mathews switchback Xt. As far as comparing it to a Bear Truth....legion is a touch smoother and quieter...so close. As far as the Truth 2.....i would say that the legion might have a slight slight nod to almost equal... To a Diamond Black Ice....no doubt the bear is quieter, smoother and faster!!!! The split limbs, cam and dual string surpressors really make this bow quiet and reliable. Speed. 10.....it's fast. It's for sure at or slightly above it's IBO listing. It's noticeably fast, it doesn't seem like it will with it's smooth drawing nature. But it will send them down range with some velocity. I can't imagine how much better this could shoot with a set of custom set of strings....Jeez! In a Nut Shell.....For a $399 dollar bow...............I have to think it's the best value out there. For that little invested, you can't beat the quietness, reliability, speed, & smoothness. It shoots as well as some of the bows twice the amount of money. From what i'm seeing you can pick them up for $350 ish all over if your willing to put in a little time to look. i don't shoot for any shop or let alone Bear Archery. If this was a POS, i would tell you all, but this is a no brainer. Thanks for reading.....feel free to leave a comment if you've tried this bow or have one. BEAR TRUTH - BEAR LEGION
I love my Bear legion i would have to agree, the only change i will be making is the strings. But have taken a Doe, couple of rabbits, a squirrel with her already. Also did some out to 70yds 3D shooting and she was great. Thanks for you input on the Legion as well
