Bear Attack
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the Bear Attack:
Bear's new Attack was one of the quietest of the test, which is made even more significant by the fact that it was also the fastest bow in the Shooter's Bow category. A grip that is too deep (front to back) landed it low in the feel/balance category and a bumpy draw cycle also held it back in that category. The Attack did not make the top three in the shock and vibration category, however, it was knocking on the door and for good reason - it does not have much of either.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.

Speed Results Graph / Data These graphs represent the consistency in speed (in FPS) over 10 bow shots (5 shots each on 2 chronographs) using the 350gr arrow shot out of a bow attached to a Hooter Shooter. We are including these graphs to illustrate the reliability and accuracy of the speed data.
