Title: Bear Montana Brown Maple
Post by: Kenny Henderson on January 08, 2017, 03:11:00 PM
I decided I wanted to give shooting a longbow a try, I decided to buy a Bear Montana but in the Brown Maple version, I love the brown fiberglass limbs. The first thing I did was take the leather grip off and put a rubber shurgrip on the handle. I found a "sweet spot" brace height of 8", and with a bow weight of 45@28 it loves to shoot Easton Legacy 1916 arrows. I am looking forward to spending some time shooting this bow.

Love it! I am a huge Montana fan...and was planning on ordering the new brown glass model very soon.

Would you mind posting a pic of the tips Kenny?

Have you tried a lower brace height? That is kinda high for a long bow.It might get quieter at a lower brace.Just my 2cents for what it's worth.

Brown is just a good bow color. It just looks "right".

I'll play with the brace height some, this bow seems pretty quiet right now and I don't have any string silencers on it yet. Buy I'll try lowering it and see how it behaves.

Thanks Kenny! I didn't know how I would like the solid white tips...but it doesn't look too bad.

And for brace height...mine shoots best at 7 3/8".

Looks like they fixed one of the so called problems with the older models when people were re shaping the big limb tips......nice!   :thumbsup:

That's a fine looking bow!   I haven't seen one of these with the brown glass yet either, but I really like it.  

Congratulations, Chase
