Have you ever shot or owned one and did you like the way it shoots? Any information on these bows? Thanks

In my humble opinion I think it is one of the best bows Bear ever made. I have many Bear bows but I always gravitate back to my Minuteman bows. They are wonderfully simple to tune, and shoot as quiet as a whisper. Smooth to draw and lovely to shoot. I have a couple. One an A handle 60" bow and one a C handle for a 66" bow. With limbs that go from 35# to 45#. I love the 66" with 35# limbs for working on my shooting form. As an example I also a Bear Kodiak Takedown C handle with #3 limbs for a 70" bow, 35# @ 28" and I choose the Minuteman over it every time to shoot. Again, just my humble opinion.

I asked about them recently and got all good responses. I hope to get a nice one someday soon.

I agree with Mr. Kavanaugh ... aka Jeffer 8^). They are one of the most simple t/d designs, and shoot great. That riser also has great balance in it. I had one made into an ILF and it was a great bow. Ended up giving it to my granddaughter's boyfriend to get him a decent bow. He was a poor culinary school graduate. ))
