    so i have got my money and now its time for a new bow i have shot alot of bows and iv got down the the stinger and the bear charge, as far as the feel of the bow, the seconed i picked the bear charge up i loved it, it shoot good, pretty low on the sound, the handle a little plan not as good as the pse. but it felt faster then the pse. i was going to buy the bear intill i heard lots of word of the limbs not holding up and breaking, and i dont want a bow that is not tuff. i loved the pse it felt fast and a little quieter then the bear charge, and less shoking i think because of the handle.

    any ways based on just how they shoot and what one is strong and will last me longer, i want the best bow, thank you guys for your help
    please respond with witch one you think is better

    sorry I can't give you any feedback.

    I haven't shot either one, so I'm about as useless as tits on our billy goat. They both look like sweet contenders. Good Luck.

    i chose the bear charge, with intention on buying the stinger. the charge felt better and seemed quiter to me. first i've heard of any problem regarding this bow.
    i am aware the stingers have trouble with the peep sights coming out.
    (talking feild ready package on both)

    is the charge a strong bow, i know the PSE is but the split limbs always scare me, i love the charge, it seams real fast, and i know its accuratcy is amazing, and the pse takes some time for me to level out

    Flip a coin! : )

    I'm not sure you could go wrong with either bow. My first bow was a pse (not sure what model it was 12 + years ago). I now own a Bear (Truth 2) and I'm quite pleased with Bear archery. I took a look at both the stinger and charge when I was in Gander Mt. yesterday. It really comes down to what feels best in your hands.

    Best wishes!
