hello,
Need some feebacks about the new Bear archery k4 .
Are some of you hunting with this bow ? Wich set up  ?
Regards

This is an original one.  Only shot it one time and then decided it was better off hanging over the fireplace.  'Nuff said!

Edit: to be fair, the photos of the new version look a lot different from the original, so it probably shoots differently too.

Mine is new version .
#52 at my 29"  draw length .
The bow is smooth and very ...vers quiet .
Lower speed than my other recurves...but can we compare this to a recurve ...it's more  a longbow performance...
Must try other arrows as i'm currently shooting 2117 with 200 grains points .
610 grains total arrow weight ...thinking it's about to much for that bow .

A 610 grain arrow is a little less than 12 gpp, which would be common for hunting larger animals like those that have antlers like the ones your bow is hanging on.  Is that a red deer, and did you shoot it?

For hunting small game or target practice, you might be happier with arrows of about 9 gpp, which would be about 468 grains, and should increase your speed.

My older K4 was given to me by a friend who knows I like classic old bows.  It was very harsh to shoot with a lot of hand shock.  Perhaps some heavier arrows like those you shoot would tame it down some, but I never tried it with arrows that heavy.  If you do try yours with lighter arrows, I would be interested to know if it remains smooth and quiet.

I usually shoot heavier arrows with my other bows.
Around 650 grains .
I 'm OK with accuracy out to 20 meters with it . It's a tack driver .
Dead silent and no handschock .
The antlers came from an elk Rusa (Cervus timorensis ou Rusa timorensis) harvested by an old friend.
