Fred Bear designed the Super Mag in 1966 for the bowhunter who travels in the brush and those who hunt from treestands. The Bear Super Mag is a compact 48" hunting bow that delivers serious performance. Easy to maneuver in any bow hunting condition and hard hitting on big game. Not recommended for draw lengths over 28" as you will experience stacking (feels like hitting a wall when drawing past a certain length) and serious finger pinch (hurts your accuracy and fingers).
Riser: Radiused, cut-on center shelf. Solid Bubinga. Rest and plate included. Tapped with 1/4" x 20 quiver inserts. Inlaid Bear medallion.
Limbs: Clear Maple core lamination with black fiberglass on the back and belly. Bow tips are layered black and white fiberglass; allowing the use of today's modern bow strings.
String: DynaFlight 97 Flemish twist bow string. Manufacturer recommended brace height: 8" - 9". Replacement string length of 44".
Right handed available in 35#, 40# 45#, 50#, and 55#. Left handed in 40# and 45#. Please specify.

Choose from a left or right handed bow (choose based on what hand you Draw the bow string with), and bow weight at a 28" draw length. Remember that with a traditional bow the weight will change depending upon what your draw length is. Bow weight will change approximately ±2½ pounds for every inch from a bows rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 28" bow is roughly a 42½# @ 27" or 47½# @ 29". Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard.
Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty. Click here to see our Bow Stringers. It is recommended to unstring your bow if you do not plan to be shooting more than week. Store your bow on its side, or hanging vertically from a peg. Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow).
