Your thoughts on the Bear longbows, Patriot & Montana

Folks,
Long story short is that I have a wonderful opportunity to get both the Bear Patriot and the Bear Montana longbows at a very fair price. Unfortunately I may not get to shoot them before buying them and I have no previous experience with these bows. I am curious as to what your thoughts are regarding these bows?

I have a Montana that I bought back in '99'. At that time the grips were "blocky" and took a little getting used to for me. The newer bows have a more rounded grip and more comfortable to me. The Patroit looks like the better of the 2 bows to me. My bow is only 50 lbs. but shoots well enough. I am saving it for my "older" age. I will round over the grip when that time comes.

The Montana is a good bow and a great value. You could hardly go wrong with one, but the Patriot is a much better bow IMO.

Bows are funny things, what one fellow likes another doesn't. I've owned both and preferred the Montana. I thought it performed as well, felt better to me and was just a better value all around. Try and see if there is someone in your area that might let you actually shoot one. That's the only way you're going to know which is better for you.

I am a Montana fan.
I have owned several and will own another.(God willing)
I can't seem to hang onto one. Every time I get my hands on one, then have folks over to shoot with me someone ends up walking away with my Montana...lol
I know I've seen and held the Patriot but it must not have impressed me very much. If it did then my memory is worse that I suspected...lol
God bless,Mudd
