I remember in the early 70s my father took me to see a Fred Bear bow-hunting movie at a cinema. I believe Fred was using a bow very similar to yours, maybe even the very same kind?
This is the Polar Bear segment of that movie.
Pretty cool old film clip. Thanks for sharing.
I never seen an 8 HP. snow machine before. Looks like they got the job done.
While I've always used a Whisker Biscuit, I just changed to a QAD LD yesterday. In the process of paper tuning now. Jury is still out. I share Ruddy's point of the WB having nothing to break, but willing to see if the extra FPS and lack of vane contact helps my long game.

You will like it RayF, less drag ='s more speed + improved accuracy!
I lucked out. Having measured the lay of the arrow in the whisker biscuit and using a bow square, it only shifted my group a little more than 2” to the right at 20yds.
I picked up 4.2fps. I bet I’d get a couple more if I remove the useless limbsavers.

Hamskea. A guy I worked with in the AF ran a bow shop/string making business out of his garage and was extremely knowledgable. His family used to work for Bear archery and he said he ate many lunches with Fred himself.
Great rest, easy to tune and great quality. Nope, they are not in every Walmart, but I believe they are becoming more well known.
