2019 ATA Show: New Bear Bows in Realtree Camo

By Josh Honeycutt author of Brow Tines and BackstrapJanuary 19, 2019

Bear Archery is an icon in the bowhunting world. The legend of Fred Bear and the company he founded is alive and well, and that’s apparent in the new bows they have for 2019. Check out the Perception, Kuma (Kuma, Kuma LD and Kuma 30) and Divergent. All great bows. One of them is right for you. Get the low-down on the new lineup below.

Bear Perception

The new Perception is the flagship bow in the 2019 Bear lineup. It’s a burner, too, coming in at 350 fps. That’s lighting it up. It has a little different look due to the shoot-through riser. It is a little heavier than some bows on the market (4.3 pounds), but some archers prefer heavier bows. This model also stays middle-of-the-road with its 6-inch brace height, but it does go a little longer than average with its 33-inch axle-to-axle length.

Speed: 350 fps

Bow Weight: 4.3 pounds

Brace Height: 6 inches

Axle-to-Axle: 33 inches

Draw Weight: 45-60 and 55-70 pounds

Draw Length: 25.5-30 inches

Let-Off: 75 percent

MSRP: $1,499.99

Bear Kuma

The Kuma is another awesome offering by Bear this year. Like the Hoyt RX-3, it comes in three different variations: Kuma, Kuma LD and Kuma 30. Each of them offer slightly different specs for different shooters and preferences. Altogether, the Kuma is a fast bow, ranging from 330 to 345 fps. But the true spectacle is the price tag. The MSRP is a surprising (in a good way) $899. It’s basically a flagship-status bow for under $900.

Speed: 330 (Kuma LD) / 345 (Kuma and Kuma 30)

Bow Weight: 4.1 pounds (Kuma 30) / 4.3 pounds (Kuma and Kuma LD)

Brace Height: 6 inches (Kuma and Kuma 30) / 6 ½ inches (Kuma LD)

Axle-to-Axle: 33 inches (Kuma) / 33 ¼ inches (Kuma LD) / 30 inches (Kuma 30)

Draw Weight: 45-60 and 55-70 pounds

Draw Length: 27-32 inches (Kuma LD) / 25.5-30 inches (Kuma and Kuma 30)

Let-Off: 75 percent (Kuma and Kuma 30) / 80 percent (Kuma LD)

MSRP: $899.99

Bear Divergent

The new Divergent from Bear is a solid bow. And to be honest, it’s one of the best budget bows available for 2019. It shoots and feels great and is a pretty fast (and quiet) bow for the money. The Divergent design helps eliminate riser flex and reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. It’s also very light at 3.9 pounds and 28 inches axle-to-axle. If you’re looking for a bow under $700, this is a great way to go in 2019. Give the Divergent a try.

Speed: 338 fps

Bow Weight: 3.9 pounds

Brace Height: 6.5 inches

Axle-to-Axle: 28 inches

Draw Weight: 45-60 and 55-70 pounds

Draw Length: 25.5-30 inches

Let-Off: 75 percent

MSRP: $699.99
