Bear crossbows online shopping and crossbow recommendations? There’s lots of innovation in 2020 from the folks at Prime, including their new ROTO Cam, which features a rotating module designed for easy and precise draw length and adjustments in ½-inch increments, with nothing more than an Allen wrench. For maximum tuning capability, Prime’s new Easy Tune Shim Kit lets you shift cams right or left during the tuning process. Prime is known for making a rock-solid riser, and it’s been redesigned this year for even more strength. I like that Prime offers its flagship bow in four different lengths (31, 33, 35, and 39 inches axle-to-axle), and I shot a few different versions of the Black. The 5 (35-inches) was the fastest of the models, but I handled it easily, and it pointed and shot very well. Just for kicks, I shot the 9 (39 inches axle-to-axle) and while noticeably slower than its shorter cousins, it was probably the quietest and deadest-in-the-hand bow I shot all day.
If you’re looking for a bow that can grow with an archer, this is the one to buy. It’s not only the most affordable bow on this list, but it’s the most variable. The bow is a big step up from a youth bow, with high-quality components that mirror Elite’s best bows. The fun is in the specs. The draw length goes from 15 all the way to 29 inches, and the poundage ranges from 10 to 70. You lose a bit of speed in this bow, but it still maxes out at 310 fps. Additionally, the bow weighs a meager 3.6 pounds, making it the lightest on our list. The bow starts at only $499, but it’s also available in a ready-to-go kit for $599. This is truly a starter bow with big aspirations.
No one can ever claim Gearhead to be a follower. The company has developed some of the most innovative bows we’ve seen and the Disrupter is another in the line. This is a customizer’s dream bow. You can choose from a plethora of grip options, adjust the brace height, draw length and handle torque. And you can select from the uber-short 20-inch model, the still-super-short 24-inch model or the more modest 30-inch model. These bows look wildly different than traditional compounds but they shoot surprisingly well and have garnered a loyal fanbase who use them for everything from reaping turkeys behind a decoy to run-and-gun whitetail hunts. They sell for about $750.

We’ve seen no shortage of innovation in crossbow design over the past few years. This year’s innovation nod goes to Barnett. Their Hyperflite EVO 420 applies an interesting new design in which the cams are mounted directly to the bow’s riser instead of the limbs. It not only makes for a striking profile, but Barnett also claims the system improves accuracy while reducing vibration, noise, cam lean, and torque. I had the chance to shoot this at the range a few times and, while it’s far from a thorough evaluation, it did feel solid and relatively free of vibration. The Hyper-Flite Track minimizes arrow contact along the rail—something that, in theory, should greatly enhance accuracy and consistency. The EVO 420 is named for its speed—Barnett claims it will fire its 22-inch, small-diameter HyperFlite arrows at 420 fps. This is not a dainty crossbow, though, and all that accuracy added some heft to it: The bare bow weighs in at 11 pounds. It’s sold as a package that includes a cocking device and a TriggerTech trigger. The MSRP is about $1,600.
