Experience the Power and Precision of the Bear Patriot Longbow

An Iconic Take on a Classic Design

Staying true to Bear Archery's generations of expertise crafting longbows, the Patriot embodies many of the key features that have made this brand a leader. From its durable wood riser to its strong and stable laminated limbs, the Bear Patriot continues a legacy of excellence.

Rugged Construction Built to Last

At the foundation of the Patriot sits a riser constructed from durable red hard maple and black phenolic. This combination provides a rigid base that withstands heavy use in rugged conditions. Whether heading out for an all-day hunt or staking out a 3D archery course, this riser stands up to the task.

Smooth and Stable Laminated Limbs

The Bear Patriot's limbs feature a 3-layer laminate construction, with maple sandwiched between black fiberglass. This design allows the limbs to flex smoothly on every shot while retaining exceptional stability. Even after years of regular shooting, these limbs maintain their tune and power stroke after stroke.

Impressive Speed and Kinetic Energy

With its 60-pound draw weight, the Patriot generates significant arrow speed and kinetic energy. This makes it a great choice as a hunting companion for taking medium to large game. The smooth draw eases into a solid wall that provides an easily repeatable anchor point for accuracy.

Taking Aim Downrange

The Patriot launches arrows downrange with authority, giving shooters the confidence to take ethical shots on deer, hogs, bear, and other big game. The bow's hefty mid-range weight strikes an ideal balance between speed and shootability that many archers prefer.

Stopping Power for Terminal Performance

With kinetic energies from 65-75 feet per pounds, a properly spined arrow and practiced shot from the Patriot can achieve adequate penetration for taking large animals. This combination of precision, speed, and power let archers reap the benefits of going traditional without compromise.

Shootability and Tunability

Beyond power, the Patriot offers a smooth, stable, and quiet shot that keeps archers focused and engaged. The symmetrical riser provides excellent balance during the draw and release. The 3-layer limb design shoots smoothly without excessive vibration or noise.

Balanced Riser for Control

The neutral grip angle and narrow waist on the Patriot's riser result in an exceptionally well-balanced bow that sits steady throughout the shot cycle. Whether at full draw waiting for the moment or swinging through dynamic shots, the riser design inspires confidence.

Limbs Promote a Quiet Shot

The Patriot's efficient flexing limbs move as one unit during the power stroke. This promotes smooth arrow launch and dampened vibration, resulting in a signature quiet shot.

Bear Archery has built the Patriot to excel over the long haul. From smart design choices to rigorous quality control and testing, this bow underwent construction with durability in mind. The result is a bow ready to shoot when the moment arises for years of hunting.
