In other words, you draw it back to a certain point and it stops. A compound bow must be adjusted so that its draw length is correct for the archer. It is recognized that variations in draw length and/or draw weight can affect the percent of let-off on compound bows. Some compound bows incorporate a “spirit level” which tells the archer if his or her bow is tilted.
If you checked your timing every couple of days and kept a bow press handy, you could keep these high-performance two-cam bows working fine, but you had to really watch them closely. One hot day in the back seat of the car and the synthetics making up the string and harnesses cooked. The wax between the fibers melted out and everything stretched. Mission bows are made by Mathews and come with great features including a Dead End String Stop and D-Amplifiers which quickly destroy vibration. The Riot is a cool-looking split limb bow that comes with an adjustable dual cam system that will fit a wide range of bowhunters.
Speed may be the final variable to think about when choosing among compound bows available for sale. Honestly, most hunters never actually pay much focus about this. That is since nearly any bow that’s not overly heavy can put big game animals down at less-than 40 yards. Those who prefer long shots really are the ones who have a need for speed. The ideal types can send arrows at more than 340 fps. In literature of the early 20th century, before the invention of compound bows, composite bows have been described as “compound”. 2 This usage is now outdated. Construction of compound bow edit
Ranking as another top favorite among Matthews compound bows, the Outback is regarded as a sleek and easily-managed bow. With a smooth pull, even at higher weights, it is easier to manage to get more power behind the arrows without the expense of too much to pull. It features a high performance cam (including an ‘inertia disc’) to reduce violent recoil and help put more speed to the bows itself. Lightweight at just over four pounds and attractive in appearance as well in performance, it’s a solid bow. If you use too few strands, you are likely to get some “creep”; particularly on the high poundage bows at high temperatures.

I found the bow in my dad's garage and would like to use it for target shooting. It is a bear archery white tail hunter from the early 80's, the serial number is wh-482990, i don't know if that will help. The hardware functions but is rusty and corroded, the parts that hold string at the ends are bent and i don't know where to get replacements. For example, a serial number of 6Z3884 would be a 1966 bow. Prior to 1965, the serial numbers for all Bear bows were started over every month, making these bows almost impossible to date by serial number alone.

History[edit]

The company was founded in 1933 as the Bear Products Company in Detroit by Fred Bear and Charles Piper.^[2] The initial focus was on silk-screening and advertising support work for automotive companies.

In 1938 Fred Bear hired Nels Grumley, a woodworker and bowyer, and the company expanded to offer hand-made bows.^[3]

Fred Bear sold the advertising side of the Bear Products Company in 1940. The archery business was named Bear Archery.

In 1947 the company moved to a new facility in Grayling, Michigan. The Grayling plant focused on making and marketing recurve bows and longbows in a growing archery market. Bow manufacturing changed from hand-made bows to mass production using fiberglass and other modern materials.

Fred Bear sold the company to Victor Comptometer in 1968,^[4] but remained the president of Bear Archery. Bear Archery was not one of the first compound bow manufacturers, but eventually found success with early models like the Whitetail Hunter.

Bear Archery moved manufacturing from Michigan to Gainesville, Florida in 1978.

Over the next three decades Bear Archery changed hands in a series of mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs from Victor Comptometer to Walter Kidde & Co,^[5] Hanson PLC, U.S. Industries,^[6] Fenway Partners^[7] and the North American Archery Group.

In 2003 Escalade Sports acquired the North American Archery Group and currently does business as Bear Archery Inc.^[8]
