Post by: ratgunner on January 11, 2009, 04:53:00 PM
Brought home little Bear SuperMag today.Havent shot it or set it up yet.50#er 48".Draws nice and points well.I know many dont like short bows,maybe I wont either but it will be interesting.I guess the cabin fever/shack nasties were gettin to me  :campfire:

I have a 52" Mag.  Sweet little bows.  Never tried the Super Mag.  I'll be interested as to how you like it.

I have a friend that shoots the 48 Super Mag.He likes it.And has no problems with it.I think his draw is 27in.I heard long draws and short bows don`t mix very well.Put a flemish twist string on.Sounds and feels better.

I have a short draw about 27". depending on the bow and grip.Had a tuff time choosing between the Super and the K-mag.I went with the cheaper one because I dont know when/if they will shut down the place I work at.Deer season ended yesterday here,but rabbits and squirrels are in for about another month.

Well I shot it today,in the cold and wind and it shoots just fine.  :D  I'm shooting 3 under,after awhile my arrows started to flip so I checked the brace and sure enough the string stretched.I expect this for awhile till it settles in.It is kinda loud though,I put rubber string whiskers on it that helped.Still tuneing her though.  :campfire:

Yep,I had a Cheyenne [same grip as K-MAG] and was the same way,just wasnt consistent with it.Its a personal thing,some guys love 'em and shoot great.The Super has a forward handle like many hybrids are useing these days.Once I find the sweet spot on this bow I'll order some better strings.  :coffee:

I love my Super Mags (yes I have more than one a 66 and 07).  They are fun to shoot and I use mine for everything.  The 07 is louder and I hate to say it but a put limb savers on it to quite it down.  I am addicted to shorties and don't know why you would want a longer bow as a shorty can go anywhere easier.  Keep us informed you have one of the "coolest bows" according to my 12 yr old daughter.

Look at the photo at the top of the forum - another Bear shorty.
