![]() ![]() ![]() Sure, bows in this category hit a lower price point, but “budget” makes me think of a cheap build. Most people call these budget bows, but I’ve always had a hard time with that label. There are a variety of good hunting bows that cost between $400 and $800. Available in peak draw weights of 50, 60, and 70 pounds. The letoff is set at 80 percent, and the bow hits a blazing top-end speed of 335 fps. The bow has a 7-inch brace height and an ultra-stable riser, which should make it an accurate shooter. Priced in the mid-800s, this rig can’t be labeled a budget bow, but when you consider it’s branded with the Mathews label and fitted with the smooth AVS DYAD cam that is draw-length adjustable between 23 and 30 inches, it’s a bargain. If you’re looking to jump into the Mathews family but want to save some coin, the Tactic is a great option. But that’s a casualty of having binary cams, which I will get to in a second. You need a bow press for that if your cams aren’t timed properly-and that’s a piece of equipment many just don’t have. Anyone can adjust everything about this bow and set up at home-except for timing the cams. I’m torn about knocking them for this one. It benefits greatly from a good stabilizer setup. There are ultralight bows that hold well without adding a ton of weight. ![]() The bow causes a lot of pin float because it’s so light-3.9 pounds bare-it doesn’t hold very still at full draw. The fact that you get decent accessories with it for that price, makes it an even better choice. And speaking of cost, the mid-range price for this bow makes it a solid choice for bowhunters of all levels. This is a powerful, well-designed engine for any compound bow, let alone one that’s budget friendly. The lower the let-off percentage, the higher arrow speeds will be. So the Resurgence is a bit under that, but that’s another feature that helps boost arrow speed. More often, hunting compounds feature 85- or 90-percent let-off. The Resurgence’s let-off is on the low side for hunting compounds these days. The 15-pound range offers more room for growth, if you want to start off light and build up to the maximum weight. We don’t see the 15-pound draw weight range much in compound bows. There are two draw weight options: 45-60 pounds or 55-70 pounds, both with 80% let off. They allow the owner to adjust the bow for different users, if you want to share it with friends, and they allow for a wider audience if you ever want to sell it. For the general consumer, I like the rotating modules. The Resurgence employs a rotating module for adjusting draw lengths from 25.5 to 31 inches. It has a 6.25-inch brace height-which is on the aggressive side-that helps the bow attain an IBO speed rating of 335 feet per second. The Bear Resurgence is a 32-inch long aluminum bow that weighs 3.9 pounds without any accessories. ![]()
