As many of my readers know, I stopped shooting my compound bow several years ago largely because my dominant eye became dyslexic and could no longer see through my peep. Shoulder issues “back then” added to my problem as well.   I found some Peep solutions for it, lowered my poundage and bought this smooth pulling Bear Archery Adapt-2 bow. Shooting is so much better. Instead of taking my crossbow hunting this fall, I am working toward using this new bow for hunting. But we shall see. Game animals deserve my best accuracy!

The peep sight, a Sterner Dutera String Splitter Peep. It has an 11/16 opening that is so wide, that it is like not having a peep sight.  And to make my anchor consistent, I use a kisser button. See below.

Some pics of my shooting the Bear Bow below.

So there you go… I used my traditional feathered XX75’s below at 20 yards. Hit a little low but very heavy hunting arrows at over 550 grains with a 45 lb bow. Felt Great!

Two Arrow Test

Peak Bow Draw weight 45 lbs. at 28 inches

Arrow Wt.     Chrono            Energy            PF 

      575g       171FPS      37.3 FT-LBS    98.3 KG FT/S

      390g       201FPS     34.6 FT-LBS      77.5 KG FT/S

At 25 yards the 575g arrow will provide deeper penetration due to PF Power Factor of Momentum. 

Good Hunting!
