Instinct RTS and Element RTS —
The Spirit of Fred Bear® Lives Proud in New Compound Bow Series

EVANSVILLE, IN — Fred Bear's mission was to produce the best product for the dollar in the marketplace — giving every man, woman and child the opportunity to shoot with confidence and precision — arrow after arrow, season after season.

In the tradition set by Papa Bear, the engineering team and craftsmen at Bear® Archery have introduced a new series of Bear hunting bows for 2007 that will equal or outperform all competitors in the field and will simply blow them away in the value-to-performance ratio in archery departments throughout America.

"Our message with this new series of bows is simple and direct — single cam innovation and parallel compression molded quad limb technology in Ready To Shoot packages," said Scott Alread, archery product manager for Bear Archery.

The Instinct RTS, with an MSRP of $549.99 will come Ready To Shoot out of the box with top shelf accessories from Carolina Archery Products. Leading the way on Instinct RTS package is the patented Whisker Biscuit™, followed by the Foxfire™ Hunter Series 3 Pin fiber optic all aluminum sight. Also included will be a ShockStop™ deluxe stabilizer with wrist strap, self-aligning peep sight, camo string loop, served in Sims® String Leeches, Sims Limb Savers and the all new one-piece vibration dampening Six Shooter™ camo quiver.

The Element RTS at just $429.99 is a great entry into the new Bear line-up. It is a serious performer with 302 IBO fps speed and an attractive eye-catching Realtree® Hardwoods HD™ Green camo pattern. The Element RTS will also come ready to shoot out of the box utilizing Carolina Archery Products accessories lead by the Whisker Biscuit™, Foxfire™ Hunter Series 3 Pin sight with composite pin guard, standard ShockStop™ stabilizer with wrist strap, wheel peep, camo string loop, and the all new Six Shooter™ one piece vibration dampening camo quiver.
