Who made the best-selling compound bow of all time?  You guessed it.  Bear!  Compound bows have been around since the mid 1970's, but they didn't really make their prime time debut until 1979, when Bo & Luke Duke started popping tires and blowing-up outhouses on Friday nights.  The compound bow quickly became a must-have item, and by the early 1980's, bowhunters were retiring their trusty recurves by the thousands.  And as this new era in bowhunting emerged, one bow was the clear leader -- the now legendary Bear Whitetail Hunter.  For a touch over $100, the Whitetail Hunter had bowhunters shooting better and faster than ever before.  Thirty years later, many bowhunters still remember the Whitetail Hunter and the Whitetail II as the "bows they grew up on."
 
A lot has changed since the early days of those little round wheels and steel cables, but some things have remained the same.  The folks at Bear Archery still remember that bowhunting should be fun and affordable.  While the industry has scrambled to keep coaxing you into buying higher and higher priced bows, Bear still remembers how to build a really good bow and sell it at a reasonable price.  So we're thrilled to add the 2010 Bear Charge to our Ready-to-Hunt™ Bow Package line-up. 

With a hard-hitting 305 IBO speed, the Bear Charge performs great and has a ton of top notch features too:  machined aluminum riser, parallel quad-flare limbs, pivoting limb pockets, a smooth perimeter weighted single cam, a forgiving 7.75" brace height, a compact 30" axle-to axle length, a good-looking APG Camo finish, and a lifetime warranty to go with it.  This bow is the real deal! 

If you're ready to have some fun bowhunting this season, the Bear Charge is all you'll need.  And you won't have to spend a thousand dollars to get one.  Just $539 buys this entire setup.  The spirit of the Whitetail Hunter is still alive and well at Bear Archery.  Bear knows what it takes to build legendary bows, and we're confident that the Bear Charge will be no exception.  We all know that customers want you to make a good product and sell it at a fair price -- seems simple enough, but it's a lesson far too many bow manufacturers seem to have forgotten.  So here comes the Bear Charge! 

Of course, we've loaded this great bow up with everything:  rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, bow case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE.  But don't expect the box to be full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because this awesome rig comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case.  Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance; professionally installing the accessories, custom building the arrows, tuning and testing the finished rig......the whole works!  So this rig arrives 100% ready to shoot.  Check out the videos and scroll down for more details.

Bow Package Details:  Accessories Included
 


Quickshot Whisker Biscuit

The rest that started the arrow containment revolution ... the Trophy Ridge Quick Shot Whisker Biscuit features windage adjustment, a Composite-encased biscuit - 150% stronger than previous models, reference marks for repeatable adjustment, and custom rubber boots to silence arrow loading. In addition the Whisker Biscuit Quick Shot is lighter and more compact than previous Whisker Biscuit models. Can be mounted for LH or RH shooters.
 
Trophy Ridge Punisher 3

New for 2010, the Punisher 3 is sure to be one of the most popular sights on the market.  The Punisher 3 features all machined aluminum bracket construction, tough composite pin guard, 3 steel pins wrapped in Tru-Glo fiber optics, graduated windage and elevation scales, and a bright aiming glow-ring.  Very rugged design styled beautifully and ready for field use.  RH/LH Universal fit.  Pictured with optional sight light -- not included.

ARROW CHOICE #1  Most Popular
6 Custom Carbon Arrows

Half-dozen custom carbon arrows (.006" or better straightness).  Durable, lightweight shafts fly 20% faster than comparable aluminum arrows.  Provides excellent penetration and knock-down power.  Fletched with vanes or feathers.  All arrows come with practice tips installed (matched to the grain weight of your broadheads - of course).
 
ARROW CHOICE #2
6 XX75 Camo Hunter Aluminum Arrows

Sometimes it's better to stick with what works.  More deer have been killed with the XX75 than any carbon arrow can dream about.  This is the true "old standard" against which all hunting arrows are judged.  Sturdy 7075-T9 aluminum construction with Super UNI bushing and S-Nocks installed.  Superior flight and reliable penetration.  Tips included.  


BOW CASE CHOICE #1
Allen 614 Camo Padded Soft-Case


Plenty of room for your bow, plus room for a jacket and other gear too.   Attractive lightweight design.  This camouflage padded case protects your gear without the bulk of heavy hard-shell cases.  Slip it easily behind your truck-seat or store in the closet or on a simple nail, using the hanging strap.  Case is foldable when not in use and easy zipper closure gets you in and out fast.
BOW CASE CHOICE #2
Flambeau Safe Shot Hard Case


Sturdy, molded construction from Flambeau.  Secure 4-latch closure. Hood & loop fastening straps. Incorporated structural pillars for added durability, and features built-in broadhead wrench.  Good looking and rugged with plenty of room for all your other gear.  Airline approved. 


YOUR STABILIZER
Trophy Ridge Shockstop Lite Camo

Some stabilizers out there are good at reducing vibration. Others are good at improving balance and stability. ShockStop® stabilizers are GREAT at both. When you're at full-draw, the Shockstop stabilizer will give you the balance you need to remain steady. And after you let your arrow fly, have no doubt that remaining vibration from your bow will be eliminated. ShockStop stabilizers work...period.
Trophy Ridge 6 Shooter Quiver

New updated design for 2010, the 6 Shooter holds fixed or mechanical broadheads, has secure dual arrow grippers, a removable foam insert, flex frame that eliminates noise, and a quick-detach lever lock feature.  A great quiver for all purpose hunting use.  Comes in matching Realtree® APG HD Camo.


YOUR BROADHEADS
3-PK Trophy Ridge Bunker Busters

When your broadhead absolutely has to get the job done, you need the Bunker Buster.  The over-the-shaft technology of the Bunker Buster eliminates the weakest link between an arrow and a broadhead by sliding the broadhead over the arrow shaft. Wide body lessens drag for more accurate arrow flight. Each package contains equipment for both 100- and 125-grain weight, 1" cutting diameter. 3-Pack
YOUR RELEASE
Tru-Fire Patriot Caliper


The reliable Patriot features aluminum construction dual jaw head, and the head rotates 360°. Padded black nylon Power Strap, much easier to put on then any V-style strap.  Fits both left and right hands. Will not damage bowstring.
 


YOUR SILENCERS
Bow Jax™ Silencers


Your new Charge will come with a set of Bow Jax™ string silencers installed - to reduce up to 90% of resonant string noise - increasing your stealth in the woods.
 
YOUR PEEP SIGHT
R.A.D. Trio String Peep


No noisy rubber tube. The Trio Peep is always aligned properly at full draw and has only a minimal effect on your arrow velocity. Lightweight and easy to use.  Available in 1/8" and 3/16" hole sizes.  Installed 13.5 cm above bow's nocking point by default, but user adjustable if higher or lower orientation is desired.


 

YOUR WRIST SLING
Hi-Tek Camo Rope Sling w/Grommet

This quality braided sling helps to promote proper open-handed shooting form. Material will not soak up human scent. Rugged rope design with soft flexible grommet mount.  Fully adjustable for any size hand or to accommodate bulky clothing.  Camouflage rope design.

Perfectly matched to the diameter of your arrows, 6 steel screw-in practice points are included and already installed on the arrows with your bow system. Precision machined and weight accurate to +/- 1 grain.  Removes quickly for broadhead installation.  Style may vary.



 

Bow Package Details:  Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package
is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional.  Every detail is attended to.  The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings.  The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow.  Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new
2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package.  Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy.  We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly.  3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters.  We use the 25/2 rule.  If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new
2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met.  While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot.  This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard.  When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer.  And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry.  You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration. 
2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power).  Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package will likely shoot a measured 260-296 fps once setup with a "loaded" string.  NOTE:  Expect lower speeds (but increased Kinetic Energy) if you select the heavier Easton XX75 Aluminum shafts. We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range.  You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2010 Bear Charge Bowhunting Package.  This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system.  Keep this sheet for your reference.  If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING  (excluding AK and HI)

2010 Bear Charge
Bowhunting Package is delivered - packed tightly in the bowcase of your choice.  Loose parts, like the release and broadheads, are all safely tucked inside too.  Once full, the bowcase is boxed and sealed for safe transport.  Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business.  A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.  All packages are fully insured and require a signature at the point of delivery.
