So if you even go on the Bear website right now, you'll see bows that are $899, fully ready to hunt and all that, and they're not garbage.
Um, I got my hands on one of them on one of the new whitetails, and I was ab- able to shoot that thing.

I know I just said don't start one right now, but I can get away with it, but whatever.
So when it comes to setting up a bow in like an hour, I can probably get away with it and get it shooting up reliably up to 60, 70 yards.
Um, but the whole thing is it's no longer the thing where a bow that costs over $1,000, it's like if you want something reliable, that's what you got, gotta go with, because that was something that- ... for a long time was true.

They have, they have a few, um, they have a few, which are really nice, actually.
