Traded my Striker Sport for a Bear Montana. I shoot it much better. First group at 20yards.

I really love my Bear Montana too. It just points and shoots so well along with great accuracy. Killed a buck with mine this past fall.

REALLY liked the first Montana I had, the second one not so much. There was a few years between the makes and I preferred the grip on the first as it was a bit more full and not as "refined". To agree with you though. They are good shooting bows.

Bear bows just keep on ticking. Not much of a problem when you want to sale either.

With all the positive reviews and debating for a couple of years, I ordered and received a 45 lb Montana last week. I too am amazed at the shootability of this bow…it really does shoot where I point, and quiet. I knew going in it’s not like my HH ASL’s, but man, I’m really drawn to this bow. It’s a shooter!

Never owned a Bear longbow. Just for the sake of conversation question to those who have owned both . Is the Bear AuSable worth the 200 bucks more or less extra . To OP please don't think I'm jacking thread with that question. Just seems like for the Montana price point it looks like a good deal .

Montanas are fine if you can buy them used and cheap.

I like my Montana. Good bow. For me, it was easy to tune, quiet, more quiet than my 3Riv SS Tomahawk. Which, by the way, was awesome- sold during pandemic-needed the cash :( Anyway, I have puffs on the Montana. Didn't really need them just like the look. I had puffs and BowJax on the SS. My only guess is the that the Stable Core was cause for the bit of extra noise. However, its cast did exceeded the Montana's by ten to fifteen yards. Frikkin thing is over a grand now new. Meh. Like my Montana (No those aren't tears, I have allergies. Leave me alone!)

I think the best way to compare the Montana to the AuSable is this way. The Montana is an '85 Chevy box truck and the AuSable is a sports car. The Montana is reliable, not fast, quiet to shoot and very to tune. It gets the job done. The AuSable is faster, noisier and takes for effort to tune, but shoots lights out when done so. I've always considered the Montana as a great beginners bow but will also perform well in all situations. The AuSable requires someone with a little more shooting experience and consistent form and will perform as such when asked of it.

Jeffer x 2. I love my Ausable but I had to experiment with brace height, strings and tuning to get it dialed in. If my form is off a little, the Ausable lets me know. It’s more sensitive than the Montana, but once dialed in, is quiet, fast, and accurate.
