hello all, looking for some feed back on the new Bear Method I have shot one and it feels pretty nice. Anyone have this Bow for a bit and can tell me what they think? Thank you

Had one for about three months. Outstanding bow. Only reason I sold was because I made a mistake and shot an Elite! The Method had a fairly smooth draw and a nice back wall. A little jumpy in the valley, but I think my draw length was about a 1/2" off. Set at 64lbs and shooting a 28" 378gr 5575 GoldTip arrow, it chronographed just shy of 300fps (298-299). Bow shop said they chrono'd the Motive 6, Motive 7 and the Method when they arrived, and the Method was the only one of the three to come close to the advertised IBO speed. Thought it was very-very accurate bow. I am far from an expert archer, but I Robinhood my 4th and 5th arrow out of the bow from 25 yards getting my sight set up, and I broke 7more nocks to follow. Little if any vibration noticed. Once I added the Limbsaver limb dampners and a stabilizer, there was no vibration. In my opinion, a great bow especially at the price range. I definitely wouldn't spend the extra cash on the Motive's- stick to the Method.

I just picked up a method really like it so far. Was out of archery for about 6 years due to the economy. Had to sell my bowtech. Then I picked up a pse firestorm and I got hooked again . Then I wanted some speed and a new bow shot lots of bows . But couldn't pass up the method . For the price you can't beat it ! Oh by the way I'm shooting 70# 375 gr. Arrow 29" draw shooting 317fps pretty good imo.

I picked up my Method yesterday, love it.
After 20 shots to be amazed at the change in technology, speed, and lack of shock or vibration since my last bow due to an 18 year lay-off from archery.
At 20 yards I had to lay off multiple arrows at the same aim point after splitting one and de-fletching 3 others.
I then sighted it in at 20, and 40 yards then checked the sighting at 50 yards, as I can't believe even the technology gone into the Trophy ridge react sight - just amazing.

I was cleared by the house commander to buy a new 2013 bow last fall...kinda a Christmas present thing. I shot every bow I could get my hands on. The first time I drew back the Method...I bought it right there in that shop. The bow really did pick me, perfect fit for me. It's easy to tune, fast, almost as quiet as a bow can get and shoots fantastic.

Ive had one for a couple months now. Bow is super fast, pretty quiet and not much vibration. The only thing i dont like is the back wall...Seems really jumpy to me and wants to creep a lot. I do also have it cranked at 70lb draw with a 29 inch draw...Thinking about turning down the poundage. Other than that though its very accurate and an overall good bow. I also have the cypher 5 sight on it and i hit a little high at 40, but since its shooting so fast, i can't move my pin up any higher because it is actually hitting the 20 yd pin screw since they are offset.
