Bear Montana Longbow Review
www.beararchery...
In this video I’m showcasing my Bear Montana Longbow.
The Fred Bear Montana is a 64" slightly reflexed design with tapered limbs and slim tips to be smooth, stable and fast. Classic lines, maple lams and black glass are brought together with attention to detail creating an elegant blend of beauty performance, and tradition. Perfect match for those just getting into shooting the longbow due to its lower cost, but still packs a punch and is smooth shooting.
Riser: Radiused, cut-on center shelf. Solid piece of black Dymondwood®. Leather grip and arrow rest included. Inlaid Bear medallion.
Limbs: Clear white Maple core surrounded by black fiberglass. Reinforced bow tips can handle high performance string materials.
String: D97 Flemish twist bow string. Manufacturer recommended brace height: 7½" - 8½". Replacement string length of 61" recommended.

Great video! My OMP Sierra gets here in rwo days and I can't wait! I'm new to archery and I'm like you, a straight tradionalist. My favorite guns are revolvers and simplicity just brings me peace. Figured a piece of wood and a string has been working for 5000 years, so it's good enough for me. Thanks again for the video and I'll check out some of your other vids if they're on longbows.

@vetog9438 3 года назад

What kind of material is your bow string

@bowman321123 5 лет назад

I'm catching up on some of your videos, and I am impressed and happy to hear your attitude about traditional archery. I also tend to get carried away when talking about how much fun archery is and the mental and physical benefits that go with it. Keep up the good work, Shoot straight.

@Wingman115 5 лет назад

Thank you.

@jamesmoss2673 8 лет назад

Great vid gettin ready to buy my self and my son a couple long bows I currently shoot a compound but ready to shoot something like that thanks wingman

@Wingman115 8 лет назад

There is something about shooting a bow that had a history of thousands of years. Thanks for watching and have fun shooting with your son.

@davetoth9767 4 года назад

Another really fun review. Thanks much. Beautiful bow!

@MrDilarius Год назад

Just got one as well in 50# lb, afraid I won't be able to handle it, or maybe it's my technique. Will try to practice more and see... I'm pretty strong, dough... 205 lb build well. Excited !!

Love your attitude with shooting the bow. "out here having fun" sometimes thats all its about. I was the same, went from compound to traditional but... I shot the compound instinctively and right now I'm trying out some of the modern sights. Talk about a learning curve. LOL Keep up the great content! Far-Nor-Cal here.

@jaimeleondelaparra3877 8 лет назад

I started with a Bear Whitetail Hunter compound bow as well, when I was about the same age as you at the time... Ha... But I always knew my true calling was in traditional archery! We'll have to link up and do some shooting one of these days. Till then, keep making great videos.

@Wingman115 4 года назад

@Locutius11 5 лет назад

I think the Bear Montana is a bow that punches above its price tag. Brace height seems a little high but it seems to be shooting pretty good though.

@NATEaBERGERturtle1 8 лет назад

I'm really enjoying your archery videos bro. I looked up some bows on sportsmans wear house and there's a samick sage for about $130 or $140. I've been saving so I think I might get that or the hoffner hand hawk that MrLeonidas designed when it finally comes out. I've done some practice with an old bear compound that my friend gave me but I really want to get into recurve. There's just something about the traditional style. Thanks for sharing!

@Wingman115 8 лет назад

NATEaBERGER Your welcome Nate. Now get out and shoot that bow.

@dankosek2355 2 года назад

Jonathan, thanks for the good video. Did miss it? What weight is your bow? I am looking at the Montana and at 65, I am starting to think I should go with a 40 or 45lb bow, but I do hunt (mostly whitetail) and have been using a Matthews FX ~60lbs for a long time. I started out with a 45lb Bear Black Bear bow many years go. Any additional advice?

@TheDesertSpear 2 года назад

40 to 45 would probably be perfect weight imo

@TheSasquatchNation 6 лет назад

Great review. Thanks for putting it together man!

@Wingman115 6 лет назад

Thanks my friend.

@BlackRifleSurvival 7 лет назад

By chance is your quiver green, if so we will be matching cause I couldn't tell. The had five color options, it was a black vs green and I went with green to get less silver color. Lol.

@henrydempsey8786 3 года назад

Great content 👍 All Archers should need to have the same attitude as yours👍👍👍 oh, to find your arrows try using a metal detector . Weather metal Shafted, or even if only the tip is metal you can find them!!! Keep on letting the fly !!!

@jeremylong6229 7 лет назад

Sweet longbow! I'm planning to purchase a bear super grizzly soon but for now I'm enjoying my 50llb sage. My dad also has a few bows I get to play with (old bear stag hunter 45 lb, bear super Kodak 55 lb, old Hoyt ram reflex hunter 60lb). I too started with compound I've got a pretty nice bowtech and every time I pick it up it feels so unnatural compared to a trad bow.

@Wingman115 7 лет назад

Got to love the Trad Life.. Thanks for stopping by.

@bigal25938 2 года назад

@guns4funcajanajustin 8 лет назад

@ThisThatAndThis3 8 лет назад

Red video man. It looks like you've nailed all the arrow variables to get an extremely straight flight on your shots. How did you calculate that? My arrows tend to drop down on the fletching side, while the tip does spirals. Pretty frustrating

@Wingman115 8 лет назад

You have to play with arrow length and tip and insert weight. Each bow will be different depending on how the shelf is cut. Start with full length arrows and cut a 1/8 to a 1/4 inch at a time until you get the right arrow flight for your shooting style and setup.

@nachogroucho 5 лет назад

I put a bearpaw whisper string on my 50# montana and man is it fast. Smooth too.

@Wingman115 5 лет назад

Good stuff.

@brianlocal3 Год назад

I always enjoyed the Montana EXCEPT the grip shape. It was like they made a straight grip and then said “oooppps” and quickly put a pocket and called it a locator lol😂 A rasp and sandpaper and I like it

@stronglikemonkey 8 лет назад

+Wingman115 John just curious, why three under rather then split finger? Preference? Or is there an advantage? I've heard it throws off your aim for longer shots.

@Wingman115 8 лет назад

+strong like monkey I used to shoot split finger for almost 30 years! Then I started shooting 3 under to get the arrow closer to my eye and found I shoot a lot better. My advice is do what's comfortable and best for you that works.

@stronglikemonkey 8 лет назад

Thanks for your input John! I will try them both. I'm just getting back into archery and noticed the different styles.

@richmerlo2769 3 года назад

Good video , I bought a Bear Montana 40# @ 28" 11/2 years ago and I love the bow. I've been into trad for about 2 years now and just enjoy shooting my longbow more than my compound, hopefully this coming deer season I'll have an opportunity at one. Anyway I have a 31" draw length so I had the bow scaled and it stacked to 52 #s , but it is a smooth drawing bow , just have to keep practicing to keep good form .Keep making those vids !

@Wingman115 3 года назад

That's a long draw. Glad it's shooting good for you.

@michaeloosterman8636 3 года назад

Hi can anyone please tell me the width of the limbs at the handle. Looking at this video my guess is 1". If you have a Montana can you please measure it and comment. Thanks Mike

@miragexl007 4 года назад

this bow looks good. wondering what poundage i should consider? guess I need to shoot one. I shoot about 62-66 compound

@TheDesertSpear 2 года назад

45-50 is good for most people. I bought one used for $200 (good price) but its a little heavy at 60lbs, wish is was 50 or 55

@1alexcody 5 лет назад

but how does the string improve performance you didn't say or I missed it

@Wingman115 5 лет назад

Better material and better made. Make for a smoother shooting bow.

@Xaxxus 7 лет назад

what's your draw length? I just got this bow, and when I was at the range one of my fellow members commented that the bow is way too short for my size (I'm about 6 ft 5, 30 inch draw). I'm not concerned with it looking small, but is there any risk to me damaging the limbs due to overdraw?

@Wingman115 7 лет назад

I would contact bear customer service and ask them.. They should be able to help answer that question.

@fuzzgutterwins3 6 лет назад

Brent Mifsud no i have a 30 DL as well no stacking.

@Jazzman-bj9fq 6 лет назад

I had a question, would using this particular longbow necessitate canting it to see your target and sight in your shot?

@Wingman115 6 лет назад

It may it depends on your sight picture. I cant the Montana just a bit so I get a full view with both eyes on the target.

@Jazzman-bj9fq 6 лет назад

Ok yes, that confirms what I thought I was observing in watching you shoot here.

@WilliamR-nt5ek 8 лет назад

Good Video, Nice bow. I have the AuSable but it's a 45# and that's a little stiff for me. I'm older and have bad shoulders... so next year maybe I'll snag a #40 model.

@Wingman115 8 лет назад

The AuSable is a great bow. If you ever want to barter some items for it send me a private message.

@fuzzgutterwins3 6 лет назад

William R look into bamboo it is so much smoother than maple. Even in the same poundage. But bamboo has a snappier sound on release.

@bobwampler3387 8 лет назад

@thomasmackay9264 4 года назад

DAMN WHATS YOUR BRACE HEIGHT??? I use FAST FLIGHT Flemish with a 7 1/2 “ brace height just saying !

@Wingman115 4 года назад

Brace for the Montana is 7.5 to 8.5. I run a 8 inch for my draw length works really well for me.

@henryyearians5602 4 года назад

How does the Bear montana compare to the Old mountain mesa?

@Wingman115 4 года назад

Two different handles. The Montana is a traditional longbow design the Mesa is a hybrid design. If your used to shooting recurve bows the Mesa will be a easy transition. The Montana is more of a Howard Hill style grip.

@asup89 7 лет назад

What kind of arrow would you recommend for a 45lb version of this bow?

@johnboland1788 7 лет назад

There are a lot of variables like how long you need the arrows, how far you draw the bow, and whether you want carbon, aluminum or wood. If you honestly don't know, than you should call up one of the big archery shops like 3 Rivers or Lancaster and they can walk you through it and recommend the best arrows for you. You'll need feather fletching for shooting off the shelf and you'll want to stay away from the super light arrows the compound guys use.

@masterof1 6 лет назад

Remember you want 5grains per pound. However if you talk to 3rivers archery the can hook you up.

Gabriel Roldan 3 rivers archery has a good selection of feather fletched arrows. I'd recommend getting a fletching jig and doing it yourself though (it's not hard) you will undoubtedly end up shooting feathers off your arrows and that will enable you to re fletch them

The area is looking nice now, I'm hoping we can get Hoss and a few other guys up to the camp spot and do some filming soon. I didn't drive down far enough to see if the ruts are deep for the mud, but I recognized this spot your shooting. Great little rest area, I need to hike some more and see what else we can scout out for knife tests, camp talk and relaxation.
