I'm a recurve shooter myself so all I have to go on is what I have heard others say; and that is the Timberhawk shooters like theirs and I've run across a couple who shoot the Montana and they are happy as well. Don't think either is a bad choice.I'd probably try to find a Timberhawk I could try out and if I was pleased I might just bit the bullet there.

Thanks I have shot the Bear but have not even touched a timberhawk in person or know anywhere close to even see one, I'm not really a cheap person but I can almost buy 2 bears for the price of the timberhawk

I like my montana... bit of you want to compare dollar to dollar I'd look at the other Bear long bows like the Patriot or Ausable.

I've got a little bit of disposable income and I've been out of bow hunting for a few years and looking to get back in, I really like the Montana but didnt want to waste the money for a bow that I would need to replace in a season or two

My suggestion is this... go shoot some. Shoot some recurves. Shoot some longbows. Shoot some light weights, shoot some heavy weights. Gotta find that good shop that has some stuff in stock.
Bear makes a nice bow that is good value and made in the USA. In the end though, you need to find what fits you. |

I used to hunt with both, started on a recurve and later switched to longbow wich I liked and shoot beter, I got out of it due to not having time to hunt. I know I want a longbow, I want 55 lb draw, but was wondering if the difference between the bows was worth it. With the bear i can get th bow, quiver, and arrows for the price of the falcon, and still have enough for a new 1911 I have been eyeballing.

I was in a similar boat.
I now have a Montana. I bought it used, and got a good deal on it. I am doing some tuning and tweaking with it sofar, but hopefully it lasts for many years to come. If not, I am going to be very disappointed. |

I think Im going to go with the Montana, are there any good online or catalog dealers other than 3rivers, Lancaster, or Lost Nation. Thats the ones I used to deal with, any newer or other companies to check out.
