  • Q:

    What difference will I notice between the Bear Montana Longbow and the Ausable?

    I am looking at getting my first longbow. I currently shoot a Samick Red Stag TD 30lb recurve.

    Also, I notice that the Ausable is available in 62" and 64" lengths. What difference will 2" make to the bow's performance?

    Thanks in Advance

      A:

      The Ausable has more reflex deflex in it, resulting in faster speeds and less hand shock. We only carry the 64'' the longer you go the smother it is.

      A:

      The longer the long bow the better. Its much smoother. I shoot a 50lb recurve and the Montanna long bow at 50lb is much easier to shoot. I wish I had gotten at least a 60lb long bow. The Ausable is much more expensive. I would rather get the Montanna long bow and some arrows and a nice quiver.

      Yes this is a all season all weather bow and as long as you have enough poundage it will be good for all game.

  • Q:

    Would this bow be able to support a 32" draw length? And if so, what poundage should I use with it?

      A:

      It will work but the bow will start to stack. Just about every bow will stack with that long of a draw length. When considering the weight of the bow keep in mind that for every inch past 28" you will be adding about 2.5 pounds of draw to the bow. For example if you order a 50# bow and pull it 32" it would be close to 60#

      A:

      My length is 32" and it does just fine. However, I am used to shooting a 50lb recurve and needed a 60lb long bow. It is actually easier and smoother to shoot than my 50lb recurve.

      A:

      I shoot a 31" arrow so I would think there would be no problem with a 32"
      draw. I am not sure what you mean by "what poundage should I use with it."
      The puling weight of a bow is preset with a draw length of 28" and you order
      the pound weight bow you want. Generally you will pick up 2-3 additional
      pounds per inch of draw needed to full draw the bow. So, if you started with
      a bow made at 45 pounds @ 28", when you draw it with an arrow to 32", you
      will be pulling something around 57 pounds or so, maybe more or less
      depending on the bow. This only becomes important to know when you are
      selecting arrow spine weight. In this case would want arrows spined to 55-60
      lbs for your 45 pound bow drawn 32".

      A:

      Yes this bow will support a 32 inch draw length. Just figure maybe 2.5 pounds for every inch after 28 inch draw length. For example if you get a 45 pound bow you would be pulling about 55 pounds at your 32 inch draw length.

  • Q:

    Hi,

    I am a 6' 2" male weighing 200 lb. I am brand new to archery and have decided on a long bow. It will only be used for target practice and maybe 3D. My draw length is 29.6 inches. I am subject to wrist pain at times. What draw weight would you recommend? Would the 30 lb be to light?

      30# is a great target weight.

      A:

      I shoot the Bear Montana Longbow with a 45 lb. pull. I find that at this
      draw weight, the bow pulls harder than my 45 lb. recurve limbs. However,
      having said this, it still is an incredibly enjoyable bow to shoot. If I
      were to reorder, I would order 40 lb. limbs, which would hopefully extend
      my range time. Unless your wrists are extremely pain sensitive, to gain
      proper cast, you may want to consider a minimum of 35 lb. pull weight.

      A:

      It would not surprise me if it would work, fiberglass is pretty forgiving. However, I recommend contacting a 3Rivers professional or a Bear representative to be sure though.

      It will work but you will be getting some stack. Just about every bow will stack with that long of a draw length. I recommend getting your draw length checked to make sure that that is your true length.

      A:

      this bow would probably stack pretty bad for that draw length. If you are
      switching from a compound i would recommend getting your draw length
      checked because it will be much different for traditional bows

      A:

      I don't see any problem with that. I have a 30" and this bow shoots smooth for me. It actually stacks less than a 68" bow. I think Bear has a couple other longbows that may be better for a longer draw.

      Yes this bow can accommodate an over draw. My good friend pulls a solid 30.5 inch draw length and he believed the bow pulled smooth without stacking. This is coming from a man who had shot his entire life and is an owner of an archery shop.

    is the leather grip on this particular bow the black or tan version? also, is it the 2012 or 2013 model? thanks

      A:

      The grip is black suede but it is only glued on and doesn't seem to be too
      durable. Be prepared to replace it because there is definitely better grips
      out there. As for the year, I am not too sure about that.
