Decided to try out bow shooting (maybe hunting later) so scoured eBay for a couple of weeks and finally purchased a year old Golden Bear Obsession complete outfit. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this bow and any comments or suggestions they would make. Thanks

I don't know the age of the bow but the specs sound about right. The seller advertised it as one year old and in new condition. To stilllearning, it's me!

I am not sure how to attach a picture to a response. I do have one but it is a little fuzzy but should serve the purpose.

It was a lot of fun just watching so I can just imagine what it will be like to actually shoot. I think that I will need bigger targets! Discovered that the Golden Eagle Obsession is made by Fred Bear Archery Co. who own Golden Eagle , Jennings & buckmaster brands. Not as well known maybe, but the reviews aren't bad on them. I hope that the good eyes I seem to have hold up under the pressure of shooting, maybe as early as next Tuesday.

I knew it was a bear bow and all the other brands are well known but they are all owned by Bass Pro shops since they Bought bear.
I guess they like to keep under the radar as far as ownership goes.
