The Montana is perhaps the best bow out there for the price.   However, it is a must to replace the arrow rest and put on a decent string to get the best performance it can give.  I have 2 montanas and have spent many many hours shooting and tuning them.  If I were on a strict budget and could buy one bow to hunt any thing on the planet (except the Big 5), it would be a 60# Montana.  It's an above average performer,quiet, and very accurate.  Try a 7 1/4 brace height and 1/2 inch nock for starters in tuning.  Easton legacy 2018 shafts work great with that bow too.  I have a couple customs, and I think the Montana is just as good as most any bow out there for a solid functional hunting bow.

I shot one about 2 years ago & was impresed with the performance for the price. As Mike G said if it pleases you then you have a good bow. Frank

I bought one around the first of the year and really enjoy shooting it. I'm impressed how accurate this bow shoots as long as I have proper form! I'm new to the lifestyle of traditional shooting/hunting and I'm very happy with this bow. I shot a few other bow that were more expensive and liked this bow better! Mines is 50# and shoots excellent! Like others said I replaced the arrow rest with calf hair. I shoot Carbon Express Heritage 150's with great accuracy. Mine came loaded with a Fast Flight string as well! Overall I extremely happy with my Longbow, I can't wait to hunt with it this season!

When I got back into traditional archery after a 10 year break the first bow I bought was a Bear Montana. I found it to be very accurate and quiet. In fact the only Robin Hood I have ever shot was from this bow! I have owned and shot many high end bows and for the money you can't beat the Montana. Now if I could only buy that bow back.

       Thanks, Leonard.
