This little bow is surprisingly powerful. This is the most comfortable shooting bow I have yet to shoot. I feel that this bow is not well suited for those who have a longer draw as this is only a 48" bow, but at my 26.5" draw, it is absoloutely perfect. I even knocked over a bag target that weighed around 40 pounds (55# draw), breaking 4 of my arrows in the process.

Don't judge a book by its cover

I used bow 2 months. Bow has good sides and bad too - I think (I'm no expert) construction is big problem - see pictures!!!

    Comments about Bear Super Mag 48" Recurve:

    I just purchased this Bear Super Magnum 48" in 50#. Wow, what a beautiful bow! This is the new 2013 model, made of African Paduk and black fiberglass. This bow, once tuned and using PROPER arrows, shoots like a dream! Very accurate and great cast / power for 50#, which when combined with a heavy razor sharp arrow, is more than enough for any big game in North America. Unfortunately, this bow has drawn a few bad reviews, by people (most likely novices), who either dry fired it, or used ultra light weight arrows (essentially dry firing it!), and managed to brake it. I draw 29", and with heavy arrows at 20 yards, see NO DIFFERENCE in accuracy between this little 48" Super Mag and my 60" AMO and 62" AMO recurves. Is the Super Mag a target or 3-D bow... no. It is a HUNTING bow for tree stands, thick cover and blinds. This is why it was designed back in 1965, as a HUNTING BOW. Some claim the Super Mag "stacks", and you get "finger pinch" if you draw over 27" or so. BS!!! As I said, I draw 29", use a glove and have no issues. The Super Mag, like most ANY properly built recurve, properly tuned and with the correct arrows, is very accurate. Bear has a top of the line product here, with a full warranty. Don't dry fire it or use light arrows, take care of it and it should last a long time!

      Comments about Bear Super Mag 48" Recurve:

      I bought this bow while back 60 # pull , bow looks and shoots well but much different than the longer recurve i was used to a lot less forgiving, had to change my grip a bit to keep it from tourqing left to right...seems to be much more noticable due to its short length also is very loud before putting string silencers on it.also had troubles putting my two piece slide on quiver on it due to its short and narrow limbs so i put a detachable bolt on quiver that works much better...i am pretty happy with this mini giant so far and cant wait to try it in thick bush and from my tree stand being the main reason i bought a bow this small

          Well crafted and great looking bow. #1 reason I purchased this bow was its short length. Still delivers arrows downrange with plenty of punch. Strange I assumed a small bow would be somehow less powerful even if rated at 60#.

              I bought my son the 60lb Recurve Bow, He loves it. He practice's with it at least 2-3 times daily. He has added new features to it already a camo cover, tip covers, and silencers.

              Comments about Bear Super Mag 48" Recurve:

              I was searching for a traditional bow and when I first picked this up, I couldn't believe how light it was and the fact that the grip was real comfortable, then I shot it. Thats all it took. I found the bow I wanted. It's fast, no hand shock and best of all it's compact, so it's easy to transport and easy to manuver, especially in tree stands and blinds.

                I have a short draw length. Have owned this bow for two years now, with a 60lb draw weight. No warping or defects.♦ It shoots very accurate. With the right maintenance you should not have any problems with this bow. Make sure it is unstrung after every use and be sure to replace the bow string every year. I could see where someone with a long draw length could break this bow easily, this bow is the shortest recurve I have owned to date. Good for still hunting in thick cover.

                  This is a good bow but only for people with short draw length 27 and 28 inches. shoots great and fast. has lots of power and is easily shot from treestand and ground blind.

                  After adjusting the brace height and putting string slincers on the bow to quiet it down it handles very well for a short bow. This a good bow for short draw archers.
