Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

The Bear Cheyene bow top limb cracked the 2nd day I shot it. I have a 28.5 in. draw, a little long but I have a 50 lb. 54in. 40 year old Shakespeare Super Neceda that still pulls 53 lb. at my draw length.

Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

I have been researching recurve bows for about 6 months and this bow kept coming back to me. It shoots nice, has a nice length, and is just a beautiful bow.

Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

Bought a 45 pound DW bow, and was very pleased with its performance. Very fast and accurate. Looks great. However, after 2 months the bow broke in two, splitting around the grip, the bottom limb falling off. I only have a 27" draw so it was never overdrawn. Lost all faith in Bear bows(this was my 1st) Won`t be buying another, as i`ve heard of other Bear bows breaking.

Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

Delivered quickly, good service by 3Rivers. I am using the product to practice and hunt. It is quiet, smooth and consistent. I was a little surprised and just how small and light the bow really is but it has quickly become one of my favorite bows to shoot and I look forward to hunting with it this fall.

Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

I purchased this bow for Christmas in 2006 and I have never looked back. Since then I have gotten 3 deer and a bear with this excellent recurve. Plus to top it all off its very beautiful. Don't delay pick one up today.

Comments about Bear 55" Cheyenne Recurve:

I have a 27" draw and the 50# Cheyenne is smooth from start to finish. My hunting partner is 6'4" tall and sports a 30" draw and the little bow pulled just as smooth at his draw. It's just right for those tight tree stand site's or blind set up's. I would recommend it to any one. I am looking to buy one in 55# pull as soon as I can convince my wife that I need it.
