I just ordered a new Bear Attack in the RTH package, and now everyday feels like a month, while I wait for it in the mail. I looked at lots of bows, and some buddies have bought different ones but these felt rite in my hand. Does anyone have any thoughts as to wether this was a good choice, and has anyone got one, and if so what what do you think of it?

If it felt right in YOUR hands it probably is the right bow for you. All the major brands make good bows. Never buy what others like. Cheers

Sweet looking bow. :mrgreen:

Now to 'outfit' it. What are you putting on it? Sight? Peep? Release? Stabilizer? Arrow rest? Arrow Quiver? :confused:

Come on! Details, details...:wink:

Other than the release, it will come with whatever Bear throws on, as he said it was a ready to hunt package. Whether he chooses to keep it that way is for a further disucssion on what he should switch to :P.
