The Escape is Bear's 2016 flagship model and its claim to fame is blazing fast speed.

Coming in with an IBO of 350 FPS isn't the only reason to shoot an Escape but it's definitely a major plus.

With a riser made of strong 7075 aluminium, the Escape weighs in at only 4 pounds, making it super rigid and incredibly tough.

The H-15 Hybrid cam generates a ton of energy, all while being smooth to draw and very easy to let down.

At 32 inches axle to axle, the Escape isn't too short that it won't perform but not too long in a close quarters hunting situation.

With a 6" brace height the Escape hammers in performance but still feels forgiving due to the H-15 Hybrid adjustable cam system.

15 pounds of draw weight adjustability is a great feature, allowing for supreme tunability.

Dual string suppressors and rubber vibration dampeners installed into the riser make the Escape super quiet with almost no hand shock after the shot.

The Bear Escape, engineered with intenseness and the ability to deliver an arrow accurately at 350 fps.

It comes in RealTree Xtra Green camo, Shadow Black, Sand and Olive.

One of the new 2016 Bear models, the Escape is a high end hunting bow that will set the standard.

      The only ones getting trolled are the snowflakes. At the end of the day, a deal is a deal. And if it annoys snowflakes, the deal is that much better.

  • Oxxy on 28/05/2018 - 16:04

    I assume (being totally without any experience) that this is really a hunting weapon?

    Would it be suitable to join an archery club with? (yeah, i know i should research, but hey, its a bow on sale!)

    EDIT, a rudimentary google suggests that no, this isnt what i am looking for.

    • ATangk on 28/05/2018 - 16:07

      Compound bows are good in that they have more power than a users actual pulling strength… if that makes sense to a layman.

      However they are also dangerous to use if you don’t know how to properly use because of that fact. Dry firing a compound bow and stuff is a no no.

      If you do intend to use one, experience or training can only be your friend.

      Also don’t aim at people.

      • Oxxy on 28/05/2018 - 16:09

        Thanks, its the sort of thing i'd go to a club for/with anyway.

        One of those things always wanted to try, but kept putting off…

        • Freegs on 28/05/2018 - 16:27

          I used a compound bow for targets (don't really do it anymore), which is pretty fun. Without much experience you can be fairly accurate. But just using a traditional or recurve bow I think is even more fun, and you will feel more like Robin Hood than Rambo. Much cheaper too, though if you are like me you will spend more time trying to find your arrows after missing the target.

        • DangerNoodle on 28/05/2018 - 18:01

          If you plan on competing, make sure you pick the option with maximum 60lbs draw weight. From what I remember, 60lbs is the maximum draw weight allowed in target competitions.

        Speaking as a lifelong physics teacher, with a special interest in Newtonian mechanics and kinematics, you're mixing up your physical quantities here.

        Strength of pull is a force. Force is a vector. A vector has magnitude and direction. In SI units, force is measured in newtons.

        Power is a scalar. A scalar has magnitude but no direction. In SI units, power is measured in watts. Energy is a scalar. Energy is measured in joules. Work is a scalar, also measured in joules.

        If I do work on an external system, then I may increase the kinetic energy or the potential energy or both of the external system.

        To pull a bow string and bend the bow, requires strength, a force measured in newtons. As I bend the bow, I do work on the bow. The total work I do on the bow is the integral of the force I apply and the displacement (a vector, measured in metres) of the bow at that force.

        The instantaneous rate at which I do work on the bow is my instantaneous power measured in watts. The mean average rate at which I do work (total work divided by time taken) is my average power. My highest instantaneous power is my maximal power.

        The work I do on the bow is turned into thermal energy (aka 'heat'), acoustic energy (aka sound) and stored or potential energy. When I release the bow string, the energy stored in the bow rapidly straightens the bow and propels the arrow of a given mass m (mass being a scalar measured in kilograms) with a velocity v (velocity being a vector) with an initial momentum mv (momentum being a vector).

        • ATangk on 28/05/2018 - 22:57

          But do you know how a compound bow differs from a normal bow though?

        • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2018 - 23:05

          @ATangk:
          The only modifier to the process is the addition of rotating cams on the end of each limb that at the end of the rotation, provides a counter force to the potential energy exerted by the deformation of the limbs. It does this with a clever pulley system from the cam to the opposite limb.

          Also know as a let-off.

    (profanity) me, deal or not, the trolls are out in force this week. Votes (both up and down) are far exceeding any genuine interest in these weapons.

    It's almost as if everyone needs to lay off the Ribena and have some time out to reflect that positing these, upvoting or downvoting when you have no interest, is a grand waste of everyone's time.

    The problem is that some idiot thinks it's funny to post, vote or neg, then fire is fought with fire in terms of more unwarranted use of up and down votes. It's not productive. And it's certainly not funny.

        100% troll. Confirmed by the OP responding to all the pretend grateful buyers with pretend “glad to be of service”.

        I’ve seen better trolls on OCAU.

          @Skramit Keep moving those goal posts. Why do you get to decide what is and is not done with honest intentions?

          All this holier-than-thou garbage has a decidedly fascist stink to it. "I don't agree with you, therefore I think it should be banned". When are we renaming this place OzNazi?

          @choodi: lol

          There’s an old saying when you call out a troll he calls you a nazi. Something like that anyway.

          @Skramit:

          You have an unfounded assumption. If your baseless accusation had any merit, then the post wouldn't still be up would it? Buh-byeeeee
