Bear Traditional Bow Montana Long Rh50 Grey Glass
The Bear Archery Montana is a traditional longbow built for hunters and archers who value a classic design that actually performs. This right-hand, 50-pound draw weight longbow combines a slightly reflexed profile with tapered limb construction and slimmed tips—a design that's proven itself since the late 1990s and remains a solid choice for traditional bowhunters who want reliability without the fuss of modern compound mechanics.
Build quality is where the Montana earns its reputation. White maple limbs are backed and faced with high-strength grey fiberglass, creating a limb structure that handles the rigors of hunting season after season. The grip is supple leather, and the shoot-off-the-shelf arrow rest is leather as well—traditional materials that work and feel right in your hand. You'll appreciate the handcrafted, fiberglass-layered tips that Bear Archery's craftsmen put into these bows; they're designed to handle the stress of the draw cycle without surprise failures.
This Montana comes strung and ready: you get a Dynaflight 97 Flemish Twist string included, so you can get to the range or field without hunting down compatible string specs. Whether you're a traditional archer building your first bow collection or a seasoned hunter who appreciates the simplicity and weight savings of a longbow over a compound, the Montana delivers the performance and build integrity Bear Archery is known for.
