Bear® Archery Lights Out Compound Bow RTS Package

Bear® Archery Lights Out Compound Bow RTS Package

Get Bear Archery's most maneuverable bow and all you need to start shooting with the Lights Out Compound Bow RTS Package. This convenient combination starts with the Lights Out compound bow, the shortest and lightest high performance bow Bear Archery offers to hunters. The Lights Out's performance starts with Bear's patented compression molded Flare Quad limbs. This special limb design provides durability, smooth energy release, and equal stress distribution to efficiently and quietly deliver superior energy to the arrow, where it belongs. Noise and vibration are further reduced by the improved string suppressor and aluminum pivoting limb cups. The two-piece synthetic grip reduces vibration even further and provides the warmest grip available for cold weather hunting. The 8.75'' brace height and minimum reflex machined aluminum riser deliver superior forgiveness and accuracy. The Lights Out delivers great arrow speed of 296-300 fps thanks to its Perimeter-Weighted Modular Single Cam system. Designed for a smooth, quiet draw and powerful release, the cam rotates quietly on a sealed stainless steel bearing and reduces cable friction with its asymmetric power track for better performance and longer cable life. Color: Realtree® APG HD®. Axle-to-axle length: 30''. Bow weight: 3.7 lbs. The RTS package combines the Lights Out bow with the Whisker Biscuit™ Original QS, Trophy Ridge® Shockstop stabilizer with wrist strap, wheel peep, Trophy Ridge Hawk Eye Sight, nock loop, and Trophy Ridge Six-Shooter Quiver. Features: The Lights Out compound bow - Bear's shortest and lightest compound bow Compression molded Flare Quad limbs - Durable and smooth performance Perimeter-Weighted Single Cam system - smooth and quiet high performance system Two-piece synthetic grip - warmest feel in cold weather Minimum reflex machined aluminum riser - Lightweight strength Aluminum pivoting limb cups - No direct vibration from limbs to riser Improved string suppressor 296-300 fps 80% let off includes stabilizer, wrist strap, wheel peep, sight, nock loop, and quiver

First Bow and Last Needed, August 10, 2009
By NKram622 from Conyers, GA

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money

"This is an amazing package. I first got into bow hunting by using a Bear that my dad bought back in 1972. It came time for me to upgrade and get a bow of my own. When I first started looking I was not partial to Bear bc of my dad but later found that they are some of the best out there. This bow is fast, quiet, and super accurate. The performance can not be beat for anywhere close to the same price range. When I got it I had Matt at the Nashville BPS set it up for me. I tell ya, he does a great job and knows what he is talking about. I paired the bow up with Easton ST Epic carbon arrows and Carbon Express F-15 broadheads. I can't wait for the season to begin."

Awesome!!!!!, February 28, 2009
By jayb from Alabama

"I am a beginner to archery. This is the first bow I have ever bought, and the afternoon after I bought it, I Robin Hooded an arrow for the first time. BPS tuned it and sighted it in for me. The rest is History. This package takes all of the guess work out for the beginner. Super quiet and super fast according to my buddy who shoots Matthews. He was second guessing his purchase and wouldn't quit shooting my bow!"

By L1360 from Albemarle, NC

"I just purchased this bow on 1/17/2009. The staff was very helpful with accessories. i have already sighted in the 20,30 yard pins and am very pleased with the performance. Thus far the bow is very quiet, reliable, and has good power for any level bow hunter."

Bulls eye on the first shot, January 2, 2009
By bigred1

"I received this bow for Christmas from my wife. After reading the reviews that others had posted on here I thought it was worth a try. When some of the others wrote that it was ready to go hunting out of the box they weren't kidding. My very first shot at twenty yards split the bulls eye. It was also on at 30 and 40 yards as well. It is balanced well and it quiet. I had a nice stalk on a doe the other night, she never knew what hit her. It is late season here now and I am still trying for a nice wall hanger, I can't wait for the rut next year!
My friend just bought a Mathews Switchback, and it is a very nice bow, but for the difference in price I think I have more for my money. I mean bulls eyes are bulls eyes.

"i shot on the second week of bow season a buck and then 5 min. later a doe. they both were traveling down the same trail and neither of them herd the thirty yard shot i put on. another person in the reveiws said this bow is deadly at 30 yards... they are not lying. my buck was a 4x4 and scored 143 the doe weight in at 185 feild dressed. this bow double lunged both and passed through both. this is my first year bow hunting. what a great start. i will never trade my bow hunting for shot gun again. thanks basspro for helping me pick such a great bow. and thank you fred bear."

Happy Hunter, October 24, 2008
By alldeerallthetime from VA

"This is a great bow for anyone. I used a crossbow the first 2 years of my bow hunting career but I damaged my crossbow 4 days before the season. I rushed out drove 2 hours to the nearest BASSPRO and not knowing a lot about what I needed in a compound bow purchased a Lights Out RTS package. The BassPro staff of TN was great in assisting me and helping to get me started. I had not ever used a compound bow and was nervous about starting so close to the seasons opening day. It took me 2 hours to set all of the pins up and I spent the next 2 days dialing in my shooting technique. By opening day I was putting 4 shot groups at 35 yards tighter then I could with my scoped crossbow. The Lights Out is a great bow, it is quite, dependable, and a blast to use. PS I hate to break equipment but I think it was a good move this time."

The Best Bow You Can Get, October 6, 2008
By alldaydust from KY

"When I was looking for a new bow this was in the top 2 and when I shot it, it was the 1. It shoots great and feels great. At 30 yards this bow is deadly. The things that come in this pack is great as well. With the trophy ridge equipment 3 pin sights, 6 shooter quiver is awlsome, and the rest is great to. Get this bow. Thanks Fred Bear."

Excellent Bow, August 2, 2008
By Metrix

"I bought this bow about 2 months ago and I do have to say that the Lights Out is great for the price. Great Balance, compact so you can get into tight spaces, and very light.

The only thing I found that I did not like was the Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest. Every time I would shoot it would rip the fletches off of my arrows, that was upsetting.

I would recommend this bow to anyone.

Bear Lights Out, June 19, 2008
By dennn from Tulsa, OK

"Incredibly light and compact you would think it would cost much more to produce such a fine bow of this compact size. I shot a PSE, and a Parker to compare with the Lights Out, all in a similarly priced ready to go package. All were fine quality bows and it came down to small subtle preferences for me, but I think the Lights Out gives you more bang for the buck. As quoted below the "Lights Out" is: "one of the best values in the industry, it's also the most maneuverable, lightest, and most forgiving bow in the Fred Bear line-up. At just 30" ATA, the ultra-compact LIGHTS OUT gets you into the tightest places and heaviest cover, while its HUGE 8.75" brace height gives you forgiveness and shootability that twitchy speed-bows just can't match. But don't let the mild manners fool you. The LIGHTS OUT can certainly deliver a devastating knock-out punch. In spite of its silky smooth drawstroke and quiet low recoil architecture, the LIGHTS OUT is a heavy hitter with arrow speeds up to 300 fps. This bow means business. The LIGHTS OUT is the perfect blend of performance, shootability, and value. Thank You Fred Bear!"
