October mountain, AIM, or Bear Montana

[Tim Younker]

Whats your opinion on these longbows? I would like to purchase a long bow in the 55# range and would like to keep it under $260. the only one that I'm familiar with ids the Bear.

October Mountain have not touched.  Aim doesn't make bows - they distribute Samick/interNature and other Korean bows.  As for the Korean longbows there aren't too many to choose from.  Top-o-the-line is probably the Samick Verna.  The Verna is a good looking/performing bow.  I have played with one and it is worth a close look if you have access.  The   interNature Viper   is a step down (well within your price range though).

Thank you for the info ehntr. the link to the info in the Viper was very good. I guess that i should have stated that the Oct Mtn. bow was the Hunter Delux and the AIM bow was the Internature Viper Deluxe.

Check this ad in the classifieds and Lynn is a straight shooter to deal with.

Vermonster13 that looks like a great deal but I'm looking for a little more draw weight. 50# would be my lowest. I may get a chance at an Elk some day.

Yeah I saw the weight after. Sorry about that.

No info on the October Mountain, but I have shot both the Internature Viper and the Bear Montana, and between those two I would take the Montana hands down. In fact, I think it's one of the most underrated bows out there. Inexpensive, but a great shooter.

Buy the Bear, you won't be sorry.
