as you all remember, a while back my wife walked in and gave me a large sum of money{1100.00} and told me to buy my dream bow; at the time,i thought that bow was a black widow; it turned out that it wasn't; since then i have been on a mission to find a bow; i tried and looked at every thing that that was made; i have made my decision;{this is where it gets crazy}
my decision is the bear montana; i already had one and have killed alot of animals with it; after all of the searching, i decided to buy another one, just 5 lbs less draw weight; it's a bear montana 50lb draw @28 inches;
go ahead and laugh{i did} but it trully is a bow that fits me very well and just seems right; i have taken the money that was left over and bought new arrows,broadheads,a new gps,new boots,a new and bigger tent,2 more dutch ovens,a new coat,some long sleeve shirts and socks;
there are other bows that are alot better and alot more elegant, but i am happy with my choice and just wanted to share with all of you; thank you and blessings from above;... :campfire:
I love my bear montana. I did have a dream a while back I found a Black widow at a pawn shop and it shot like 30fps faster and was rediculously accurate. This was just a dream and I was a little upset when I woke up because I got that widow d@#$ cheap. I like to keep a hunting magazine by the bed and read a story before I go to sleep, I have had some awesome hunts in my sleep over the years.
Sounds like a good plan to me! Wish my wife would give ME a large sum of money to buy my dream bow; I've got my eye on another TallTines...
I think that was a great choice for you Congrats!!! :thumbsup: I have two Montana's they are Great bows.
I think you made a good choice. You got exactly what you wanted and then some!
Seams you put a lot of thought into it.If it's the bow that fits you that's all that matters.Look at all the other goodies you got with it.

That's all that matters. As long as your happy with the choice, and it sounds like you are :thumbsup:
Archery is a very individual sport. And look at all the goodies you got with the money you saved!
I say great choice!! and job well done. Enjoy the new wares and Bow, put em to good use this hunting season.

yip i agree with that way to go! hope you got your wife a little something too? :help: :archer:
Wouldn't have been my pick but I'm glad you are happy. I always say "Buy what you like and you will be happy with it. Buy what you are told and you will come to hate it." Which one do you think you will shoot better?
A wise man indeed. I'm shooting a '67 Shakespeare Necedah, and have a '61 Bear Polar in the wings. It's not the cost of the bow, or fancy woods, or anything else superficial that makes a proper weapon. It's how that bow works for the shooter. That Montana is pretty much bomb-proof as well. Good choice.
Only thing I'd have done differently is give my wife the money left over after I bought the bow. Would have told her to buy something she wanted.
If the shoe fits wear it!!!
Pat B. you nailed it!!!
Barry, The bow you are the most comfortable with is the best choice. That is one thing money can't buy these days!
I just got a bear montana. I love it.
AWESOME!! that's great man, you absolutely made the right choice!!
Awesome, nothing crazy about it at all. Some folks spend a lot of money to find a bow they can shoot really well and never find it. I love my Montana as well, a real shooter in my hands. Thought about selling it now that I have a few bows but I just can't, shoots to well for me! Like George said, its BOMB PROOF! Congrats!
congrats on the bow and the Wife!!
Yep, that was money spent VERY wisely.
Kudos to ya. Enjoy all of your new gear.
ain't never about the bow - it's all about the bowhunter.
besides, the arrow is THE most critical item of all archery tackle.
enjoy yer fine montana! :thumbsup:
I consider it a smart move as well. :thumbsup:
Good on ya man!
That's money wisely spent in my book.

I love my montana longbow !
Well, few years back, I did almost same thing. Except wife didn't give me the money, wink. I shot a black widow, a striker, a great northern, tomahawk, etc.... I bought a Bear montana from a guy down on his luck and loved it. I bowfish and have shot several deer with a shakespeare, which for me is probably the best recurve made. Then for the money, I bought a Howard Hill "Redman", wow. It is every bit as good as the Montana, and more forgiving and for a few bucks more well worth it. Like already said Archery is a very personal sport. there have been countless animals harvested with a 2nd hand bow. Price does not always dictate quality.
Sounds like a plan. "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
You did good
If your happy thats all that matters! High price tags doesnt nessarly mean better quality
Congrats on the bow, and all of the additional stuff that you were able to get because of it.
crazy like a fox :bigsmyl:
congrats on the Montana :thumbsup:
As long as you are happy that is all that matters.Blake
Thats a very nice wife you have there and I like the way you think. Best of luck to you with your choice of bows ....
That is why I started building my own bows. I wanted a nice custom recurve but knew I'd never be able to justify spending a months pay on one.
Now I only shoot my own bows and have some money left over for other hunting needs. I think it was a good choice for you.
