Where’s your Bear Country? Over the last year, we’ve asked that question of Bear archers all over the world. And for every one who answered, it was something different. We thought we’d share some of these responses from our friends, families, partners and customers.

What’s our Bear Country? � at’s easy. It’s hunting North America’s most elusive big game animal, the Whitetail deer. � ere’s nothing more exhilarating than taking down one of these monarchs with a stick and string. Pound for pound, no other animal can provide you with more excitement...and sometimes humility. But what’s really neat, is the folks at Bear Archery understand that. For this reason and many others, we’re proud to call Bear Archery our partner. And every time a monster buck enters our sights, the last thing we worry about is whether or not our Bear bow is going to perform. As a true testimony to this, in one season alone, the Whitetail Properties Team put 2201 inches of antler on the ground while shooting Bear bows. We’re looking forward to more visits to our Bear Country.

� e Primos Team has been working with the folks at Bear Archery for three years now. We are very impressed at how the engineers at Bear have responded and delivered to our input and experience from the fi eld. � e bows they have created are everything we could want in a bow. Most important, the bows are dependable. In a market that is full of continually innovative products, Bear has focused on what is important to hunters–a bow that is always dependable, smooth and has a level of performance that is well above price. If you haven’t shot a Bear bow lately, you won’t know how good these bows shoot until you get your hands on one. At Primos, were proud to be a part of Bear Country.

� is is the “Scrape Tree” where I took my fi rst buck with a bow. It is very near where I grew up and spent countless days learning to bowhunt as a young man. Believe it or not, the bucks are still scraping under this old maple 35 years later. I do not get to return to this area very often anymore, but when I do I feel like if there truly is a Bear Country this is what it would look like. – David Westmoreland, Missouri

A great trip to Montana with good friends and my boys as my hunting partners has left me with many great memories. My Bear Country is anywhere as long as I have good friends, family and fun. Hunting is only the excuse to go. A good adventure should not be judged by how many trophies are taken but rather how many times you smiled or laughed.– Casey Blum, Montana

My Bear Country is on some property we hunted up by a little country church in Southern Indiana. As a young boy that was just starting to bowhunt, I looked for-ward to going up to that church every weekend with my dad during deer season. All in all, it was about enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. � ere is no doubt those times created the passion that I have for bowhunting today and is the reason why I want to share this sport with my boys as well. – Ross Rinehart, Indiana

My Bear Country...Sunrise on Mauna Kea. Big Island, Hawaii.– Tad Yomono, Hawaii

My Bear Country is a cold lonely windswept mountain top nestled along the continental divide, where the snow gets deep and the bulls grow big.– Matt Gibson, Idaho

I was on a mountain lion hunt when I snapped this great pic of my Bear Country. I had been hunting for the past week when we headed down to lower elevation for a late lunch break. I was unable to capitalize on this hunt but I was able to take some great pics. Because of Bear Archery, I have been able to take many trophies in my hunting career and I love your products. � anks for your great gear! – John Purviance, Nevada

Message from Jack Bowman – Vice President and General Manager, Bear® Archery

In Bear Country, we couldn’t be more thankful, and more honored!

� ank you to the dealers, many of whom are small family businesses, who allow ALL of us (hunters, archers and manufacturers) to continue pursuing our passion. We should never forget the decades of risk that these men and women have put forth to support our industry.

To the hunters and archers who support both Bear Archery and the dealers, thank you! Your continued support and feedback make us more focused and more responsive every year. Because of you, we strive to develop the most trusted and innovative new product, to invest in new technologies, and to make every contact with you the best experience you can have. As always, your comments and critiques are what keep us on top of our sport. Don’t hesitate (and I know you won’t) to tell us how we’re doing.

And we’re honored–proud even–that Fred Bear’s legacy continues in the products that we develop each year. We like to think that Fred would be proud to see his name on our newest products. And we’re especially honored to collaborate with Team PRIMOS.® � e collaboration of two such legendary groups is unique in archery today. � e insight and feedback that Bear receives from Will and his team are invaluable.

� is year, like no other, the promise of our new technologies is spreading across our entire line–from our industry-leading TRUTH® 2 bow to our newest expansion of � e TRUTH 2 family, including the Dark Horse,™ the YOUNG GUN,™ the ULTRA LIGHT™ and target-fi nish bows. In addition, our traditional line (for which we are famous) is still strong and beautiful, including great new accessories. Plus, our youth line has never been stronger.

In short, our engineering has been fully integrated with Bear’s commitment to the tradition of support for hunters and archers of all ages. � e results are uniquely strong and humbling. I am honored to be a part of it. And, we’re all thankful for the opportunity to serve you.

the advancement is spreading.First, it was a total system advancement. Now,

They answer:“ It’s not one thing. It’s a total system advancement that began with The TRUTH® 2.And this year, we’re taking those advancements even further across the entire line.”

When Bear engineers are asked, “What’s the one new characteristic of the Bear® line in 2009?”

The Truth® 2 Objective:An even smoother, quieter bow – beginning with draw cycle and through release – without a speed compromise.

The Truth® 2 Result:A bow design so inherently smooth and quiet that few, if any, additional vibration dampeners are desired. A bow so energy-packed that it reaches speeds of 318 fps (IBO). Plus, a sturdy and more effi cient bow systemthat transmits more energy to the arrow and delivers more consistent accuracy – shot after shot.

AND A BEAR ESSENTIAL – FOR DURABILITY AND SPEED Bear limbs continue to be made with PATENTED compression-molding technology – continuous, long fi bers that deliver the most energy-packed and durable limbs in the industry.

BRACE HEIGHT. � e TRUTH 2 is designed with a brace height of 7in. Shots are forgiving yet benefi t from maximum stored energy to the limbs during draw. Maximum stored energy – combined with an even and effi cient transfer of energy – equals speed.

DUAL, ARC STRING SUPPRESSORS are integrated into the riser. � ese dual string suppressors were designed and optimized using high-speed photography to counter the greatest amount of string vibration.

MACHINED ALUMINUM PIVOTING LIMB CUPS are built with a side-locking tang on � e TRUTH 2 to create a rigid, “zero tolerance” fi t – increasing sturdiness and consistency while reducing vibration. Pivoting limb cups maintain a tight limb-to-cup-to-riser fi t, regardless of draw weight adjustment. And rubber isolation boots mean that the limb never touches the limb cup (avoiding any direct transference of vibration from limb to riser).

ONE-PIECE, SLIM SYNTHETIC GRIP reduces vibration, minimizes hand torque and provides the warmest feel in cold weather.

The details of ‘how’:

� e dramatic advances detailed below are found on � e TRUTH® 2. In 2009, these advancements are spreading even further across the entire Bear® line.

MINIMIZED RISER REFLEX. � e less the riser refl ex, the more forgiving and accurate the shot. Plus, the smaller overall profi le improves maneuverability in the fi eld or treestand.

AXLE-MOUNTED WEIGHTED DAMPENERS. Four dampeners are positioned optimally at the far end of the limbs where energy release occurs – for the optimal absorption of vibration.

THE PERIMETER-WEIGHTED MODULAR SINGLE CAM. � e powerful single cam proves it is an engine for speed when � e TRUTH 2 reaches 318 fps. Yet, the cam’s shape sets the stage for a smooth draw – including an asymmetric power track that reduces friction and increases cable life. Further, the cam quietly rotates during draw and release on a sealed, stainless steel ball bearing. Likewise, the idler wheel pivots on stainless steel sealed ball bearings. Smooth is built into every part of � e Truth 2. And this cam has 1in. modular increments and 1/2in. post increments, including a large segment of the draw length range that does not require a bow press.

FLARE QUAD LIMBS. Ultra-short, flared limbs flex well beyond parallel. Bear perfected the limb design through FEA (fi nite element analysis) to evenly distribute stress during draw and release. Even stress distribution in a short, lighter limb creates these advantages. 1) “SMOOTH” is the natural result of lighter limbs accelerating and decelerating during release. 2) Beyond- parallel limb position creates a short, vertical travel where opposing limb movements cancel each other, rather than a forward thrust of conventional limbs. 3) Even stress distribution allows for a more effi cient transfer of energy to the arrow; maximizing the reduction of vibration and noise.

A customized bonus:WINNER’S CHOICE® STRINGS – recognized as the technology leader in the industry – are standard on � e TRUTH 2 and are pre-conditioned for non-stretch performance from the very fi rst shot.

Get your hands on one...

� e second generation collaboration with Team Primos created performance that was quickly recognized as legendary. “Bear® Archery took a proven winner and turned it into a startling new champion,” Inside Archery. “� e Truth® 2 tied with Mathews® DXT™ for top honors in our objective

testing,” Outdoor Life. “You won’t know how good this bow feels for yourself until you get your hands on one,” says Will Primos of Primos® Hunting Calls.

� e bottom line: � e TRUTH 2 raises the bar again for performance that is well above price.

FLARE QUAD LIMBS. � ese beyond-parallel limbs are the smoothest limbs found on a bow today (see page 6 for details). Yet, Bear compression-molded technology means these short limbs are among the most durable and energy-packed limbs found anywhere.

AXLE-MOUNTED WEIGHTED DAMPENERS are positioned optimally at the far end of the limbs for maximum vibration absorption.

MACHINED ALUMINUM PIVOTING LIMB CUPS. � e laser engraved limb cups utilize a side-locking tang and limb isolation boot to achieve a “zero-tolerance” limb-to-cup-to-riser fi t to further reduce limb vibration and increase accuracy.

DUAL ARC STRING SUPPRESSORS. Designed and optimized using high-speed photography to counter the great-est amount of string vibration.

STAINLESS STEEL STABILIZER BUSHING

DUAL STAINLESS STEEL SEALED BALL BEARINGS in the idler wheel.

It’s a DONE DEAL for speed, power and feel. Outside of � e TRUTH® 2, this Bear® bow benefi ts the most from the collaboration of the Bear and Primos® engineering and hunting teams. � e feature-packed DONE DEAL has made its mark as one of the world’s most intriguing archery weapons. While this bow reaches speeds of 311 fps IBO, you have to shoot one to truly understand how smooth it is. And even though this unique combination of speed, power and feel is unsurpassed in archery, the DONE DEAL is developed in the fi nest tradition of Bear Archery–delivering performance that far exceeds price. It’s about the hunt...your hunt.

Smooth, powerful enough to be one of the world’s most intriguing weapons.

Often rated a top buyer’s choice for quality and bowyer craftsmanship, the traditional line-up from Bear® Archery continues to satisfy those recurve and longbow enthusiasts looking for a time-tested quality hunter. These are the same handcrafted bows that Fred Bear designed and tested all over the world. Exotic hardwoods have been used to create stunning bows that are both superior in the field and almost certainly to become tomorrow’s collectables.

TRADITIONAL BOWS

A favorite accessory of Fred’s, the TakeDown Supreme comes equipped with the classic inlaid compass.

Hand-Crafted Legendary Performance

This classically designed 60in.hunter is enhanced by its exotic hardwood construction. The laminated hardwood riser with decorative shims flows into the wood core limbs and tips, reinforced by fiberglass overlay. If the exotic look belies the functionality of this recurve, then be reassured by the original, Bear-designed brass medallion. FastFlight string included.
