Bear Arena 30

Engineering that borders on the wicked. Considering how many devils are in these details.

These days, you can actually tell what makes an insanely good bow by how many little gadgets aren't on one. That's honest proof a bow's been engineered, not just accessorised with a billion moving parts.

Take for instance the Arena series new H15 cams. Sure they've got the smoothest draw cycle out there, but the cams are actually built for equally smooth let down that seriously lessens a chance at spooking a critter.

Zero Tolerance limb pockets are designed to absorb excess space and reduce vibration instead of just adding some weird spacer.

The Bear Hinge Guard is developed to reduce lateral loads reducing riser torque and improving accuracy.

The grip even feels good in cold weather, but can be removed for even greater riser contact.

Technological advancements like these start in design, whereas other companies treat them as an afterthought.

The biggest news of the season comes in Arena's draw length options and a 6.5 inch brace height. Combined, they balance your need for speed with critical factors like forgiveness, again proving the value of engineering over add-ons.

Above all, this level of technology is firmly grounded in smart economics because the Bear loyal are wise enough to expect more for their hard won dollars.

We all know the buck doesn't stop with a bow purchase. Broadheads cost money. So do tags. Good camo isn't free and gas tanks don't fill themselves. Also, remember good chocolate.

Because it's far more convincing than some weak "I'm sorry" after spending three extra days in pursuit of Mr Big.

One of the two new flagship Bear models, you're looking at the ultra lightweight hunting bow you'll be hearing about from 3D range to tyre kicking sessions, to camp fire smokos.

Built around a 6.5 inch brace height, the Arena 30 puts you exactly on the apex of that sweet nirvana between speed and forgiveness, yet somehow sacrifices neither.

Stand and ground blind hunters, note the shorter 30.5 inch axle to axle length. Now think about how much easier that's going to make your life when space is tight and your future materialises 50 yards away.

That's when it really becomes clear. Technology this advanced means the future looks bright and it's coloured red. Blood red.

Check out the Arena 30 features

• H15 cam hybrid system. The Bear synchronised hybrid cam system utilises a rotating module that lets you make draw length adjustments without a bow press or any additional modules. Advanced design delivers the same efficiency at any draw length giving you a smooth draw and extreme speed.
• Removable grip. Changing hand location or pressure, wearing a glove or adding a quiver will change point of impact and string out your groups. With Bear removable grips, you can change from side plate to over moulded grip style to match hand position to your hunt or situation.
• Enhanced riser technology. Forged and precision machined aircraft grade aluminium provides extreme strength in critical areas while trimming mass in low-stress sections, creating the most durable, reliable and lightweight bow available.
• Hinge Guard technology reduces torque on both riser and limbs by allowing the cable to smoothly move inward throughout the draw cycle and instantly return at release to provide optimum fletching clearance.
