EVANSVILLE, IN — Improved cam system. Improved adjustment ability. The Odyssey II and the Pioneer II are much more than just kid's play. These two entry-level bows from Bear® Archery are ready to perform — right from the box and into the field (no assembly required, and no bow press needed to adjust draw.)

At just $289.99 and $239.99 (suggested retail) respectively, the Odyssey II and the Pioneer II are priced for smaller budgets, but built for those with bigger aspirations. The two youth bow kits include 3 Pin Fiber Optic Sights, two-piece camo quiver, three Satellite™ carbon arrows (Odyssey II), three Safetyglass™ arrows (Pioneer II) and a bonus Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest® (a $40 value.)

Camouflaged in Realtree® Hardwoods HD™ Green, just like its bigger Bear® brothers, the Odyssey II is proof positive that superior shooting equipment is available for short-draw archers.

Featuring a machined aluminum riser, compression molded flat limbs and an inner-cam shooting system, the Odyssey II is a performance-oriented, value- packed, short-draw hunting bow. Light, at just 2.9 pounds and compact, at 31.75" axle-to-axle, it is a perfect fit for first time bowhunting and/or those simply needing a shorter, user-friendlier bow.

Adjustability and proper fit is the name of the game for many short-draw archers, who are typically young people willing to give archery a try. With draw lengths from 13 to 27 inches, with adjustability not requiring a bow press, and peak draw weights of either 40 or 50 pounds to choose from, this bow can grow in stature and in power with young men and women.

A wonderful introduction to archery is the Pioneer II. It looks like dad's Bear Archery hunter, but is engineered with learning the fundamentals first and foremost.

Colored in a black powder coat, the Pioneer II is as eye-catching as it is practical as an entry-level youth bow. Compression molded flat limbs, machined aluminum riser, inner-cam shooting system, TechTwist™ Green & Brown string and an elasto-polymer vibration dampening grip are just some of the adult-sized features in this pint-sized bow.

At just 2.9 pounds and 31.75" axle-to-axle, the Pioneer II's draw lengths are adjustable from 13 to 27 inches without the use of a bow press, and draw weights are comfortably set at 15 to 29 pounds with a 75% let-off.
