- Difference between a Bear Cruzer G2 and a $1000 bow. In this video, I explain some of the key differences between a Bear Cruzer G2 and a flagship bow that generally will cost around $1,000 for just the bow, not including accessories. Once you add on the accessories to the flagship bow, the cost could be anywhere from 1,500 to 1,800 in many instances.

Great comparison. Doesn’t matter what you spend on a bow. You don’t practice with it. Results are the same.
Amen brother
I bought my first bow 3 months ago. I am 16 and I paid it in full working and saving for a while. I got a Bear Cruzer G2. I've been practicing a lot, nearly every day, and I am confident I can take it out this season. Even though I only shoot 45# (I am skinny), I am confident on my shot placement and testing arrows for momentum. You're a great inspiration and thanks to you I am learning everything I need (youtube is basically my teacher). I am from Mexico so hunting here is different, but I have my piggy bank which I fill with all my 10$ coins to buy my Hoyt. Thank you for everything.
That’s great thanks for sharing. God bless ya
You sound like a great kid, best of luck to you in life and hunting. I have complete faith that you'll get it done. Gob Bless You!
@Shane Gunter Sorry, I don't have time to read all that. God bless you.
@Shane Gunter No problem, I understand that level of tired. God bless you.
New subscriber, new bowhunter here. I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, and as a fellow Christian I really love that you are not ashamed of the Word of God. Keep doing what you do, and God bless and keep you and yours.Ephesians 6:10
Thank you
i have to say I do love your videos so much! I am a Pastor up it Canada and you have no idea how encouraging it is to see you incorporate scripture in your videos.
God Bless Sean!
Praise the Lord Jesus. Thank you pastor. God bless you.
Appreciate your channel. I'm new to archery, and my first bow is a Bear Cruzer G2. Loving it so far, but I'm sure after I get a few years under my belt, I'll look into upgrading once I know what I like and have enough experience to properly compare.
Sounds great, enjoy the journey!
Trophy Ridge 4-Pin Sight that came with my Bear Cruzer G2 is very bright, both indoor and outdoor, no issue at all.
Enjoy it.
How much did the bow cost?
@@johnpaulk994 Bear Cruzer G2 399.99. My Mathews setup was 1700 including the arrows.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures ok thanks
Good stuff Sean, your vids have been a blessing to me. I recently moved from traditional to compound and picked up a near new Bear Cruzer for $150. It's a solid inexpensive bow that will get the job done until I decide to step it up.
great
My first bow I bought off a friend of my cousin. I paid $170. Never hunting with bow before I spend countless hours studying the set-up and added a few accessories that fit me better. I trained day after day, honing my shots until I could draw at any given yardage and put and arrow into the bullseye. My very first hunt with it a buck came into my shooting range. He was walking at a good pace about 30 yards from my stand and I put the arrow right through his heart. I recently bought the Bear Cruzer G2. At the store, I landed 6 arrows within a quarter inch of each other, some of them were even touching. Mind you, the arrows that I use were beat up and not the right length for my draw. I have been fine tuning it over the past year. Added a different peep, stabilizer, and getting the adjustments to where I prefer them. I would never buy a $1,800 bow when I can put the effort and practice into a $170 and $300 bow and get perfect results. The brand name and the price tag don't make the bow what it is, you do. Your hard work and making the bow what it is are the things you will look back on after you bag that buck, not the price tag. I don't know very many people that use those expensive bows and the ones that do have the same issues they do with the less expensive bows. It's them. They think the price tag or brand will make them a better hunter but it doesn't. They could miss a buck with a heat seeking missile. I'll spend those extra hundred on another freezer from all the deer I tag while they cry that their $1,800 bow isn't making them anymore accurate. An saying from an old man I knew was "A bent arrow can still be accurate if you practice with it and learn to compensate, but a man who doesn't work on himself never will be".
Thanks for watching. Congrats on your success. A walking shot at 30 yards though is not very ethical. Try grunt stopping him next time and shoot for the squat. God bless
Sean. Sometimes whistling and making noise doesn't stop them. Yes, we did try. Don't know how it's 'not very ethical' to shoot a deer while it's walking. We practice moving shots. There are plenty of pros that do it as well. Watch the outdoor channel and you will see plenty of them. If you practice and train, then whether they are standing still or moving how is that less ethical. We don't get the ducks and geese to stop flying mid-flight. Is waterfowl hunting less ethical? I've seen guys lose deer that were standing still.
Like in this video, the deer was still moving. 'Not very ethical'
czcams.com/video/uzClBMhm0gk/video.html
I've taken some moving shots when the deer are 10 or 20 yards but 30 is pushing it. A lot can happen. You said the deer was moving at a good clip at 30 yards. I personally wouldn't take a 30 yard shot at a moving fast deer even if I trained for it because I've been hunting a long time and a lot can go wrong by the time the arrow gets there when it's traveling 30 yards through the air. That's just my opinion. I'd say the more you try that shot the more you'll experience situations that may not work out in your favor. To each his own I guess. God bless.
That was a five yard shot at a slow moving deer, not a 30 yard shot at a fast moving deer. That's the difference.
Ive been shooting a Cruzer G2 for the last 3 years, ive broken the string stop and had to get a new string, both of which Bear covered. So, some QC issues, but their Customer Support is pretty solid. Finally where i want to be on my draw weight after a serious shoulder injury, and im getting a new bow this year.
Glad you are recovering
I bought the bear cruzer g2 some months ago. It's my first bow ever but I really want a Mathew's bow now. Now that I have a tiny bit of knowledge, I love the look of Mathew's bow but I do love the adjustability of the cruzer g2. I can give it to my wife or my kids if they wish to start shooting soon.
Awesome, enjoy the journey
I'm 1:17 into this, Just want to say something off the bat. Indians killed with a stick and sinew. I don't need a thousand dollar bow. I've killed deer with a 50# bear recurve. Your channel is great. Your content is awesome. I'm just saying.
Amen
GreenEYESfromOHIO
I went recurve first(Bear grizzly) to really learn how to put arrows where I wanted them. Just like ppl did long before we were ever thought of. That bow has come with me on a lot of trips and has put a lot of meat in my freezer. That was about 8 years ago. I recently made the jump to a pse brute. And I’m personally glad I learn the game with a recurve first. But it’s really a different experience in my book. No matter which road you travel practice practice practice is key.
And stretch and warm up. that 15 minutes you take to get the blood pumping makes a world of difference
That whisker biscuit won't fail...WB for life...lol... good video.
Lol, enjoy it.
Gracious goodness, am I happy I watched your video, which I stumbled upon, till the end. Otherwise I'd've thrown away my stabilizer and sling, which I was disappointed to not find, when I bought it. I already ordered a different stabilizer, which I can now cancel. Thanks A friggin' LOT!
Lol, thanks for watching! God bless you
You may still need it. Those stabilizers that come with bear do nothing and the cheaper bear bows are reallllly unbalanced. I replaced everything on mine, then bought a bow tech and a pse and replaced everything on it. Now i wish i had just bought a 1500$ bow... As far as your video. That was long?
For me, the absolute difference boils down to a high quality bow holding it's tune much longer, being able to put up with more abuse & neglect in the field and being able to be counted on to remain reliable for nice clean ethical shots.
Having used both an entry level bow and a flagship, yes...some thousand dollar bows $600 better than $400 bows. They just are. Not saying it can't be done with an entry level bow, I'm just saying that they require far more attention, maintenance and constant tuning and gosh forbid that you bump into a tree while on your way into the field and lose your sight being as dialed in as when you got out of your truck.
Thanks for sharing
I loved the car analogy. I remember a friend made that same analogy years ago between a PC and a Mac (things have changed a lot since then). This made me undestand perfectly the difference between both kind of bows.
Great. Thanks
Funny, I just used the chevy vs Ferrari analogy in comment section in another video where someone said archers are being taken advantage of because sights and other accessories are $200. I pointed out he has choices. He can pay $13 for plastic sight or $200 for aluminum with more features and durability.
@@sjeverett75 and it makes a difference... Plastic will go off and the aluminum will hold up better.
In the end what matters is that the bow meets your requirements and that your happy with it.
Thanks for watching
Sean's Outdoor Adventures Sean, what happened to your Bowtech reign 7?
@@robertdeis132 I still have it
I’d love to see speed and kinetic energy differences between the two.
Speed is logged in the individual review videos
I have the G2 and the Mathews V3. Both at 60lb draw weight. Both at 27.5" draw length. I'm shooting 292fps with the V3 and 271fps with the G2.
Thanks for sharing! Good info
Awesome to see your detailed description.. but even MORE awesome to see you share the word of God... God bless you brother!! 🙏
AMEN God bless you
Great to see another good video Sean! Thank you! I have a G2 and being my first bow I have no comparison to anything else. So its better that I probably dont shoot my friends expensive bow until I feel I need to get a better bow.. of course if I find archery is not for me I also have not spent too much on it.. I wonder in the hands of an expert archer - would both bows give the same and consistent results? take care, John
Mostly likely the bear cruzer g2 could produce about the same results, but probably not quite as good. It would still be good, but slightly lower.
Just got my PSE stinger extreme and already lost 2 arrows to tall grass but still loving it!
Great
This is a super awesome and informative video. This is exactly what I was looking for to learn the difference. I plan to get a Bear bow just to start with as I have never really shot a bow, but I definitely see the value in a mathews/alien and will definitely have to upgrade after putting some time and effort into learning the skillset.
Thanks, glad it helped.
Wow now I want an expensive bow instead of the cheapy🤣🤣thank you Sean. I guess I'll be saving for a while.
Lol
Great video. I like the skull cap mounts on the wall
Thanks!
Great video! It was very informational.
THANK YOU!!!
Its not about the price of main frame, I've got a 12 year old bowtech captain paired with a quick tune 360 arrow rest, hha sports 1 pin sight, shot a standard packaged Matthew's and truthfully preferred the bowtech, its about what ergonomics you prefer. With time upgrades can happen
Awesome
love my Bear Cruzer g2
Awesome
Great video very useful information
Thank you
I agree totally.. some people want to have fun but can’t afford a Hoyt or Mathews
Try the new Dragon X8 I just posted a video on.
Thanks for the review. I have to say that I agree with your analysis and I personally believe that one should always go for quality vs. quantity. However, I'm looking for a decent, inexpensive entry-level compound bow. As such, I think the Bear is a better option for me. Especially becaue my wife would murder me for spending 2 grand for something I'm not sure that I will continue to pursue 😅
She's 5'4, I'm 6'1, a retired U.S. Marine and she scares me a bit. You know how the shorties are, they get mean 🤣
I understand. Bears are nice bows. I personally like the Legit over the Cruzer G2.
Man, you do an excellent job with these videos. I’ve only just started shooting two days ago (chose the Bear for my first bow) and you’ve helped me understand just about every mechanical aspect of my bow! I appreciate you and god bless.
Thank you, and God bless you as well!
I love my bear cruzer g2 it has such a smooth drew
Awesome
Another great video, Sean. I'm not likely to ever get to a $2k bow, but it is nice to know about them. Again, I'm a novice (but and engineer), wouldn't the expensive bows have the same degradation at the extremes draw and weight? Or do expensive bow just "not go there" as far as versatility? Please don't make another expensive flagship comparison, I can't afforded it. lol. Your sight upgrade is noted though.
No the flagship bows hold up better
Another awesome video sean..
Thanks, Rob!
Nothing like honest reviews..
If you were choosing between the Cruzer G2 and a Legit which would you spend your money on?
I would take the Legit. It feels like a more robust bow.
I love my Cruzer G2. Swapped out the whisker basket for a drop rest and swapped the plastic sight for an aluminum single pin sight. But even before these mods I had no problem shooting 1-2" groups at 25 yards.
Awesome
Thank you for your videos I’m still not sold on a decision yet. I do like the bear brand so far. Do you think you’ll be reviewing the Bear Paradox HC RTH. Would love to see it. I live in Australia. Seems to be a good option over here
I'm not sure. It will depend on what I get access to
I have the first gen bear Cruzer bow and I shoot as good or maybe a little better as my friends do with their $1200 bows.
I have a Browning x-bolt composite with a $200 Leupold scope, $900 package. I shoot as good or better than my friend that has a Christensen rifle and an $1,800 scope, $3,800 package.
If you don't get yourself out to the range and practice you're not going to hit nothing no matter what you spend on your equipment.
There you have it
I’ll purchase the Bear Cruzer G2. Much more bang for the buck. Infinity more adjustable. Plus the resale value on bows are terrible. I can get at least half the money back from the $320 purchase price after 3-5 years. Wondering if the Mathews can hold half its value after 3-5 years?
Enjoy it
Bear is a decent bow to start off with I know now what I want in a future bow
Great! Thanks for sharing
Would have been nice to see what difference between the two as far as accuracy! Great videos.
I think that comes down to the shooter. If you can shoot, you can shoot. If not, ....
So basically if it comes down to the shooter just get the bear G2 as opposed to a 1k bow

Great review! Other than the “feel” Sounds like a new upgraded sight (eventually) and a little QA double checking and this would be a good bow for us mere mortals?
Yes
@@seansoutdoors thanks for the reply
I think the Bear has hot spots on the cam that splits the servings on the cables.
Very possible
I know this is old but I noticed some of the issues you mentioned on my Bear Legit. The string is getting frayed quickly. Happy with it as a first bow so far but if I have enough success hunting will like to upgrade in a year I think.
Thanks for sharing
very good vid. i have a very cheap bow and i wondering should i buy something like a Mathews or something cheaper. Now im Bretty sure its Mathews Vertix
Thanks!
Not bad, I was hopeful for some field experience and side by side performance
Sorry to disappoint
I’m looking to get started. I’ve been looking at this bow but I’m still unsure of what equipment to start with..
You should check out the book I wrote and just released. It covers every piece of equipment you may need. amzn.to/3UkZ6i1
I really think it will help make it all clearer for you. God bless you.
Well its good question.
I taken many games with my pse stinger(first 2008 modell).
Great
And you won't want something silly smoth you want something to blend into ths environment that's why its bumpy it blends in better
Lol it's bumpy metal because it isn't finished well. They don't spend the time grinding the edges like they do on a more expensive bow
I had been shooting a Mathews mission craze and just got my triax and they are two different worlds love the triax
Thanks for sharing. God bless ya
I like the information in this video such as the breakdown in the material used on the Bear. I am and will always be a Mathew’s bow guy. However I have never owned one. I will probably have to buy a ready to hunt bow package like this Bear Cruzer G2 due to starting over with my gear after a divorce. I’m looking for your opinion on the best quality and price RTH bow?
I like the bear Alaskan czcams.com/video/dQYeIhxG4p4/video.html
I also have a review on the whitetail legend pro you could check out.
Love your reviews would like to see a review on the pros vs cons between a single pin sight and multi pin sight.
I will try to remember to do one in a few weeks if I can find some time to do that.
Bear makes flagship bows also, I shoot s arena 36 it smooth, fast, easy to tune check out bear bows you might be surprised at what you find, great video explains low end to high end bows! God bless!!!
Thanks. Yeah has flagship bows. They seem to fluctuate from one year to the next on how nice their flagship bow is.
Hey Sean new to your channel I am also Christian and just started being interested in archery
I currently don't have any bows or arrows what so ever and I want to get Into arrow hunting
I am a teenager and was wondering what would you recommend for me?
God bless you
I think the Diamond Edge SB1 is a good option.
Nick since you're a teenager I would go for one of the adjustable bows like the sb1, as Sean said. The reason for this is you are still growing, and you don't know where your draw length and weight will settle out. The sb1 will carry you through into your 20's,at which point you'll have a good idea of what your weight range will be and your draw length will be stable. Then you can go in for a higher quality, more expensive, but less adjustable bow. Or you can just stick with the cheaper sb1 if it's meeting your needs
@@seansoutdoors ok Sean thank you for replying!
Nice bible verse. thanks for that.
You are welcome. Thank you.
Ye I love biology too
Hello Sean, thanks for the video! I know on some other comments for new archers, you've recommended the Diamond Edge SB1. I'm looking to expand from firearms to archery and there's a deal on Woot for the Cruzer G2 RTH for $254. Is this a good option at this price point? Would you recommend anything else for someone just getting into the sport? Eventually I'd like to go hunting, but for now I'll be at the range or in my backyard honing the craft. What would be your recommendation? Or shall I spend more right off the bat for no regrets? Thanks in advance Sean! God bless. 🙏
The thing I don't like about the g2 is the plastic draw mods and you have to swap them out to change half inch increments. You can also look at the dragon x8 here is a video with a link in the description to purchase. I also give away 5 of these a month. Details on the giveaways page of website. czcams.com/video/S-KhoE4RHJA/video.html
3or4 hundred dollar bow is still gonna kill and for some its hard to swallow 1000 on a bow i think they are all kinda cool in a way would i ever buy a 3 hundred bow no iam a mathews guy but you dont ever wanna look down on anyone after all we are all archery community
Amen
If you started with a bare cruiser and added your preferred components how would they compare then?
The quality of the bows components, such as aluminum used for the riser and the cams is on another level. It is like the difference between a basic car and a sports car. The sports car costs more not just because it's a sports car but because a lot more engineering and better parts are used to make it.
And next year Mathews will come out with a new gajet give it a special name and charge $1100.00 been noticing that for the past 15 years with them. Don't get me wrong they are top shelf just a bit much for many Hunters of
Thanks for watching
I have a $250 Washburn 6 string. My friend has a $2800 Martin. I’ve played his guitar, and it sounds no better than my Washburn…. in my hands. My point is, the Bear Cruizer G2 is probably a better instrument than my proficiency in shooting will ever be.
Just enjoy the sport is what I say.
Yea to each his own. But I have both compounds and recurves. Moderately priced. And I really only enjoy hunting with my recurve a especially my older blackhawk chief bow no bells or whistles nothing but a toothbrush as a arrow rest. Super happy with it. I would never spend anywhere near 1000 on a bow. Like I said to each his own but what works and my priority are way more down to earth. Or something
Thanks
@@seansoutdoors guess I also should of mentioned that I have learned alot about shooting from your CHannel. Thanks for what you do. Sorry if I came off a little judgemental. I guess 1000 dollars on a bow just caught me off guard.
Hey Sean, my daughter’s birthday is coming up next month and she’s shown an interest into archery. She’ll be 11 so I was looking into the Diamonds Infinite Edge and now this bow. Which would you recommend? They’re in the same price range. I know it seems like a loaded question but I really do value your opinion.
I haven’t had a chance to make the video yet of the one I liked the best but my top pick is the diamond edge sb1. The bear Cruzer G2 would probably come in second and the infinite edge pro third. Hope that helps.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures Thanks so much Sean.
The Sight? What does that have to do with a bow comparison. Can’t yo put that sight on the bear and still be under the bare bow cost of the Mathew’s? Same with the other accessories.
The cost in archery equipment reflects components and processes and some are made with better materials and more options and that includes the accessories
What kind of optics do you have on the Matthews? I’m thinking if I go with the Bear Cruzer G2 I would upgrade the sight to what you have on your Matthews :) what do you think about that as a first bow set up? Thanks for your honest video. God Bless
I don't use optics on my bow. My sight is the trophy ridge react pro and I like it a lot. It is a nice sight and one that would be a nice upgrade for you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures I’m sure you can tell I’m a newbie 😅 thanks for the recommendation, currently watching your hour review on the G2. Stay healthy, God Bless.
Hey sean I have a question for you .... I'm a second year bow hunter . Bought the bear cruzer just to see if I like archery and bowhunting ... turns out i love it ..... had my chance at a doe put a shot on her and the arrow didnt go thru ... my question is ... can a bear cruzer be effective on harvesting deer my draw weight is 65 pounds....
Yes. Sometimes penetration also has a lot to do with arrow weight and tip. I use a 450 grain arrow and fixed blade broadhead with razor blade to the tip czcams.com/video/OiwCqHHO9Hs/video.html
The tip really helps with penetrations and pass throughs
If I have the option to replace my cable slide with a cable roller with the wheels for the cables do you think I should? I have a Diamond Ebge SB-1 do you have any ideas for me to upgrade?
You can but I don’t know how big of a difference it would make. Maybe you could take your bow there, shoot through that chronograph about five times then test the roller by putting it on. Shoot through the chronograph again and see if it made any difference. If it does, perhaps try getting one. If not, why bother?
@@seansoutdoors thanks Sean for the reply, I take pretty good care of my bow and when I wax the cables I pop them out of the slider and make sure its all on evenly spread, if I do upgrade anything it will likely be my sight or rest, thanks Sean I appreciate it!
I got a cable roller to replace my slider, easy and cheap($12 from geek/ali) fix works a treat
Your comparison is not so much bow to bow but accessory to accessory, those accessories off your Matthews can go on the Bear. Would be nice to see a comparison on the actual bows.
Not sure if you heard me compare things like limb pockets and aluminum used for riser
"what's the difference between a bear cruzer g2 and a $1000 flagship bow?"
Me in Australia. "A Bear cruzer g2 is almost $1000... in 2020. :("
They are half the price here
@@seansoutdoors Turns out I am really dumb and was just not reading properly I was looking at a package which included a case and arrows. Just the RTH bow is about $650 AUD. :)
Bought my first bow and thats G2. But after a month shooting if you consider time spend, money spend on range, accessories and then what I will be spending on hunting .....i suggest if anyone can afford mid range to high range bow over entry level then they should go with it .
May be I will pass this bow to my wife and will buy better one, its all about how much anyone feel comfortable to spend and even little % of improvement matters if you can afford it. And upto some extend its true that anything expensive is better & comfortable.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. God bless you
Novice into archery. Like you, I just found my stabilizer today and was wondering what the string and leather piece was. Just found out you call it a "sling". No idea what that's for. I was reading my owner's manual and I noticed the Bow Press type is not recommended. Did you say "Prizes"?
Yes.
Thank you for your videos! Such a wealth of knowledge. I’m looking a lot getting an entry level compound bow, and the bear cruiser series seems like a good buy on sale. My questions is: if the cruisers are adjustable- do you need a bow press to repair a broken cable or string? Can you replace the sting or cable in the field and then adjust the tensions?
Thank you!
I'm not sure if you can loosen the limb bolt far enough to be able to change them or not, but there is a good chance you can. Several bows that are competitors of this one are able to do that.
Thank you for the quick response. Any suggestions for bows with that feature( field repair without bow press) in a similar price range?
@@islandred3968 Some of your long adjustment range bows are able to do that, like the Elite Ember and Diamond Edge 320. You can crank the limb bolts out so far that you can pop the string and cables off and work on the bow, etc.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures How about the bear Cruze Legend bow in general terms for a beginner first compound bow ( not related to field stringing question) ? I saw your comparison of the Cruzer g2 to a higher end bow, what do you think in comparison to the bear approach ( about 2/3 the cost) on performance. My goal is to practice shoot and get proficient enough to harvest deer ethically.
Thanks again!!
@@islandred3968 They are a decent bow. I haven't used one but most of them in this category are pretty decent. God bless you.
Man, you have great info all the time . Subscribe! GOD Bless.
Thanks so much! God bless you too.
Really though how long will the cruzer g2 last ? How many years like 20 ? That's longer than most of us will bow hunt
It really all depends on how much you use it and how well you take care of it.
When I wax my strings on my cruzer g2 I pull the cap off pull the string back that plastic piece comes off I wax my strings and re assemble
Awesome.
Ok would you say the Bear is a good starter bow for somebody just getting into archery?
Yes
Hey there, frequent viewer but I’m wondering why is Sean comparing a Bear economy bow that anyone can afford, a few hundred bucks tops for the G2 to a Matthew’s Flagship rig bow that cost $1600+? Why not compare to one of Matthew’s economy bows?
Apples to Oranges?
Hey there, why do people comment on someone's channel asking a question about why the person made a video a certain way but they ask the audience rather than the person who made the video?
My guess it's for the same reason you read articles about Fender custom shop guitars vs Squire Affinity guitars. So people can understand why one is a couple hundred and they other is over a grand. You can play the same songs with either guitar but the quality, fit, and finish is quite different.
Hi,
I ordered a Bear Royale 2020 one week ago (it takes 2 weeks to receive it)
Do you think I can use it as an adult or is it too small for me (I'm 5.6 tall, 85 kilos and 49 yo) and must change for another bow ?
Thanks for your help..
Yes, it will work for hunting, but I would advise using it near the peak weight for that. I would not try to hunt big game below 40 pounds of draw weight. Also, use a cut on contact broadhead like the G5 Montec or something with a razor blade all the way to the tip. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors Thank you so very much Sean..
God bless you too..
Thanks!
Nice, very comprehensive comparison. I still never heard how many more bull's eyes I can achieve by spending $1,200 extra, on a bow.
Yes, I can understand that.
@@seansoutdoors i would absolutely love a $2k set up. Still, the performance from today's $400 RTH bows is astounding😍
Ok wait its apples to oranges.
The matthews doesn't come RTH. As the bear does....
If you spend the same amount on the bear as the matthews. Then maybe.
Or strip both bows and compare. Just my opinion.
Love your videos. Thank you for all you do
God bless you and the family
Yup
You know I have owned Mathews, elite, pse, bear, diamond , obsession and bowtech . binary, single, and dual cam bows and you know what, they all shoot and they are all accurate, some a little louder , some a bit heavy but be happy with what you have.
Awesome
the Bear is a very good bow!
Awesome
Hey im 16 and been hunting with a bow scince 12 and still have the same bow i started with im intrested in buying it is this good for a experienced person thats doesnt have much to spend
If I was buying a bow I'd get the diamond edge sb1
Today 200$ bows are way better than the expensive ones(700$ +) 10-15 years. ago
👍
Would u recommend I get the bow from this vid or the diamond edge sb-1
I am planning on hunting with it and it would need to be resistant to a fair bit of abuse. If their is an other bow that u would recommend please tell me
I'd go with the sb1. Check out this video czcams.com/video/buWDp1n73f8/video.html
Hey Sean, it’s legal to bait where I hunt, and I was thinking about putting a automated corn feeder in my 1/8 acre kill plot..any thoughts on why this would be good/bad? Thanks!
It all depends on the deer. Some deer get accustomed to it. Some get spooked and only come in during the night. Once you start shouting deer at that location they might catch on and avoid it during daylight. But the same could happen with just a food plot if you are bumping deer on the way in and the way out.
If you can, refill the feeder at a set time every time you do, and do it at a time you’d be going in for an afternoon hunt so the deer get used to that pattern and don’t associate danger with the movement. It’s also probably best to only hunt it in the evening as you’ll push deer out trying to get in before daylight and that will mess things up even for evening movement
Thank u so much!
I go out and throw corn across the street from my house. Its an open field between my house and the lake 140yds away. Anyway, I started feeding them about 5:30pm and again at 8a.m. after a week of doing this they are waiting on me when I get there. It doesn't take long to get them used to being fed by hand or by feeder.
2 months in archery. Testing the junxing compound bow. Made in china. Cost me 160 USD. Don't know how it feels pulling n release higher end CB.
Okay
What sight is it boss man? The one on your bow and do you have a video on it?
God bless hope you doing good
Trophy ridge react trio
Sean's Outdoor Adventures thank you I’ll look into it
What you think of the pse madness thank you and God bless you
It’s probably not bad. I haven’t used one though so I can’t say anything about it.
Would you recommend a beginner purchasing a flagship? Im not quite a beginner but I'm still a little green. I'm glad I found this channel iv learned alot so far.
No you don’t need a flagship. I’d suggest getting a few more years of experience first. A bow like this, you could always set up for practically anyone if you decided to upgrade later. Basically can’t go wrong with one of these types of bows
You say you are going to explain the difference between the G2 and flagship bow but most of your review was about the accessories . You added the accessories to the nicer bow .You could just as easily put the better sight and arrow rest on the G2.
I have an inexpensive bow and it has a tool free micro adjustable rest and drop-away rest.They are not as expensive as what you have but they make me happy.
I watched this because your reviews are usually very informative I just wished you spent a little more time on the bow and maybe shown how they shot. and talk more of the good and the bad not just how much better one was than the other.
I am not sure but I would imagine there are more people with a g2 budget than a flagship one.
I talked about the difference in materials used go into the price. Most people don't seem to catch that. I guess you just can't please everyone.
@@seansoutdoors Didn't mean to upset you but just saying that if you are comparing bows then compare the bows not the extras. As you stated the rest and sight you added to the flag ship bow .And yes of course the flagship bow is of much better quality. I do think your opinion has much value.
to give an example I was an Auto technician ,mechanic, for 40 years I started out with less expensive tools like huffy and craftsman and over the years I up graded to mostly snap-on brand tools which are very high end tools but when someone ask me the difference In the craftsman and the snap-on I would talk about the tools not the tool box I stored them in.
I
@@billwhisnant8003 Aren't the accessories part of the price on the Bear Cruzer G2? It certainly was when I bought it, and I have never seen one sold as the bare bow, so I was comparing what you get for the cost. If you don't like the approach I took to compare what you get when you spend $350 to $400 on a Bear Cruzer G2 VS what you get when you spend $1000 or more on a flagship bow then sorry, I clearly can't please everyone and everyone has their own expectations. So to be cleary, I apologize to you that I didn't take the approach you expected or preferred. Can we drop this now? God bless you.
But what about the real difference that really matters? How it shoots, and is it accurate?
Huge difference when shooting. You can feel a great difference in how much vibration a cheaper bow has when it goes off, but accuracy is in the hands of the shooter for the most part
@@seansoutdoors Yeah, I hear ya. I'm literally just starting out. I had a friend of mine turn me on to archery, and it's ADDICTIVE. I've spent the past few decades in Long Range Rifle (.300 WinMag reloading). Archery presents all the same challenges, but much cheaper and far more convenient. I can do this in my back yard any time I wish, and not have to drive all the way to a range with a 400 to 600 yard range. I'm really lovin' it, but I'm starting out at the bottom again. FUN!
Bear Cruzer G2 is that a good bow for my first bow ?
Sure. I bought this one for my son
I ended up buying a bear attitude years ago but broke the top cam, the attitude was superseded by another and the store charged me $250 + shipping for a replacement.. package never arrived and bear wouldn’t help at all (won’t ever buy from them again)
Got a crappy Chinese bow that terrible.. but if I need parts it almost costs nothing.. riser $18, pack of two string sets $8, ect
1 year later still can’t get it tuned... but it works lol
Lol, well, at least you get to launch arrows with it.
Just finished the video.. very good.
And I also drive a 1999 prelude... lol
Sounds like a problem with the people you bought the parts from, not bear.
I’m looking at different sights for my new bow, I want something tool less and easy to adjust, I found the tru glow Range Rover pro and it seems really nice, any thoughts? PS I love the Bible verses thank you for that
I haven’t looked at that one till after you asked. Looks okay but I don’t have any hands on experience with it.
Still can't justify spending$1000.on a bow.Yes the bear is cheaper in quality but will kill just the same. Too many other quality bows out there that are more affordable.
For many years I’d just buy used bows like a year or two old for half price the new amount
Did you ever do a review on the bear eclipse or the br33?
I did the BR33 in 2016 I think it was.
Wow! You can guage the metal quality just by running your fingers over the painted riser!
It isn’t hard to tell the difference between the two. Have you held one In each hand? It’s pretty noticeable. Try it and let me know.
But at the end of the day I can take a deer with the bear just as quickly as I can the Matthews . Some of us don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on bows so I believe the RTH bows are a great tool for many common men and women . I may one day spend that on a bow but until then I’m satisfied with the bear.
Certainly does the job just fine
Can a cruzer2 take down an elk or bear just wondering
Yes, with the right amount of draw weight and a cut on contact fixed blade broadhead.
@@seansoutdoors thank you
You spent a lot of time talking about the site on the Bear - a site which came with it, vs the site you bought separately for more than the price of the entire Bear package. That's not a hit against the bow.
The two middle-of-the-line Bear bows that I have - a Traxx and a Moment, have been trouble free for years, and great shooters.
It is all part of the price, so I talked about it.
You should do a review on the Bear Legit
If I get a chance to I will. I don't think the shops near me carry Bear bows so that limits me a lot.
