The Escape is Bear's 2016 flagship model and its claim to fame is blazing fast speed.

Coming in with an IBO of 350 FPS isn't the only reason to shoot an Escape but it's definitely a major plus.

With a riser made of strong 7075 aluminium, the Escape weighs in at only 4 pounds, making it super rigid and incredibly tough.

The H-15 Hybrid cam generates a ton of energy, all while being smooth to draw and very easy to let down.

At 32 inches axle to axle, the Escape isn't too short that it won't perform but not too long in a close quarters hunting situation.

With a 6" brace height the Escape hammers in performance but still feels forgiving due to the H-15 Hybrid adjustable cam system.

15 pounds of draw weight adjustability is a great feature, allowing for supreme tunability.

Dual string suppressors and rubber vibration dampeners installed into the riser make the Escape super quiet with almost no hand shock after the shot.

The Bear Escape, engineered with intenseness and the ability to deliver an arrow accurately at 350 fps.

It comes in RealTree Xtra Green camo, Shadow Black, Sand and Olive.

One of the new 2016 Bear models, the Escape is a high end hunting bow that will set the standard.

    Thanks OP, this will go well with the Rifle, Glock, Optic Red dot sight and hunter knife that I bought from here in the last 2 days.

    Do you need a licence to own this bow?

      no, we own 3 bows but use for target shooting ….Usually order mine form usa or buy used from archery forums

        • Elderlymango on 28/05/2018 - 16:38

          Yes, it's a prohibited weapon in Victoria but legal in S.A. Not sure about the other states.

        • The Gent on 28/05/2018 - 16:39

          @Elderlymango:

          Legal in SA

          You sure about that? I was looking into it a few months ago and found fairly conclusively that they were a banned weapon.

          @The Gent: https://www.police.sa.gov.au/services-and-events/firearms-an…

          Based on the above page on sapol, both full size and pistol crossbows are now prohibited.

          Compound bows are fine to possess. You can only fire them at archery ranges, private property (so long as arrows do not leave the property), and in certain parts of the Murray lands you may partake in bow fishing.

      This is an obvious attempt to further divide the ozbargain community. If the deal was posted in good faith it should stay but as this clearly wasn't mods should step in or they are ultimately endorsing this behaviour. My opinion.

      yep, new models every couple of years, they don’t change much but if new to the sport used is always a good option until you know what size you need.

      if you are new to the sport you need to get a bow that fits , if you are already in the sport then you will have an idea already of what you want and cut a deal with retailer or be importing from usa.

      can’t see people buying this on an impulse and going down to the local archery club for lesssons.

          The process to get approval to buy a gun takes quite a while. You can't just see a bargain for a gun and then buy it immediately.

          You need to fill out a permission to acquire form and submit it to your local police who will then decide if you are allowed to buy the gun, once approved, you have to take that to the dealer and you will be able to buy it.

      I don't mind this deal - Bows are a perfectly justifiable hunting/recreational tool.

      I do take issue that my posting a bargain here for a 100% free, no-stings-attached and legitimate PDF version of "Over Our Dead Bodies:Port Arthur and Australia's fight for gun control" was removed for trolling.

      But there ya go, politics divides and all - there's bias in everyone, even the lovely mods here at OzBargain who do a decent job for the most part.

        OzB is definitely a leftie paradise. But those deals are too good to let it bother me.

          Well, the internet is one giant safe space.

          Can't really get kicked in the nads online.

          @tshow:

          Lol, this is true.

        Your pdf was not a genuine bargain though. Otherwise we might as well post every open access book on Usyd like you?

          Free instead of $22 is a pretty decent bargain and that wasn't the reason for deletion - the reason was trolling you snowflakes.

          This post is more of a troll as it's not even that good a bargain. $22 to free is.

      I don't think it's a good deal if eBay has it cheaper.

        Sure, if hyou don't mind waiting up to a month to get it and you don't want a local warranty or the ability to return it if it's defective.
