With the shortest axle-to-axle length (30") and lightest weight (3.7 lbs.) of all the 2008 Bear bows, the Lights Out is the most maneuverable bow in the line. Yet, because of the extremely easy-shooting 8-3/4" brace height, this bow still retains a high degree of forgiveness. Patented compression-molded limbs and a powerful modular cam with a stainless steel ball bearing allow this bow to produce arrow speeds up to 300 fps., even with an 80% let-off. The beyond-parallel Flare Quad Limbs are the smoothest found on any bow today, yet they remain the most durable and energy-packed limbs anywhere. The aluminum pivoting limb cups give a zero-tolerance limb-to-cup-to-riser fit, regardless of draw weight, to greatly reduce the limb vibration. The single string suppressor greatly counters string vibration as well. Minimum riser reflex design, a characteristic of the Bear line in 2008, delivers a more forgiving and accurate shot. Right hand only.

Why Pay More,November 18, 2009
By bowboyz7from NJ
"I have been shooting this bow since the spring of 09. It's very accurate due to the generous brace height. Its light weight and well balanced. The 30 inch axle to axle length is great for treestand hunting here in the northeast. The most important thing part of bow hunting is to place the arrow where you want it, you will with this bow. The only knock I have on this bow is the green cams and bright Orange and Green string that it comes with, I would have preferred flat black for the cams and brown and Black for the string. I took a large black sharpie marker and colored the string before waxing it. I also colored the cams and limb cups with the same marker. My coloring job has made the bow much less noticeable.This is a hunting bow, Bear should have chosen subtler colors for these areas of the bow. I hope their new bow are less brightly colored. Don't get caught up in all the hype of bows costing hundreds of dollars more. This bow will do all those more expensive bows do, and do it more accurately! Bear is coming out with all new bows, and I see this bow is on sale at Cabelas, you can't go wrong at these sale prices"

Lights Out Bow,September 9, 2009
By TGW41from Arkansas
"Very pleased. Had to adjust sights and rest only. Very well put together. Smooth and quiet. This is a very good bargain. I had a old White Tail II. Can't even compare the 2. You do not have to spend tons of money to have a great Bow. Try it you will like it."

Lights Out,August 30, 2009
By NoMorWolfsfrom Idaho
"I recently went to Cabelas to buy a New Bow. I tried them all, but found the Lights Out to be the best. Many bows cost more, but were not worth the extra money. This bow shoots great and is very light to pack around, 3.7 lbs. This means alot in the back country of Idaho. After a few hours of practice I was ready to go. Bear has gone the extra mile to please the avid hunter. P.S. this is the first review I have ever written."

Great bow,August 16, 2009
By Deerslayer33from Bel Air, MD
"This bow set at 70 lbs. slings arrows with authority. It is very lightweight, quiet, and accurate. You can't ask for anything else in a bow. It is easily as good as several higher priced bows which shall remain nameless. I have been very satisfied with this purchase and am looking forward to slaying some whitetails this season."

Excellent bow!,August 11, 2009
By BoneDiggerfrom Texas
"I just picked this bow up today and have been shooting it most of the afternoon. I spent the first part of the day and all day yesterday doing nothing but shopping for a new bow. I have shot many of the big name bows from $200 models to $900 models: Hoyt, Mathews, Martin, Diamond, PSE, and others.
My impression of this bow so far is that it is a very smooth and very accurate little bow. The long brace height makes it very forgiving. This bow has very little hand shock and very little bow jump. I am very impressed with it.
The package deal is a good choice and will allow you to start shooting almost immediately. Just set the peep site and you are ready to go. The quality of the components is good.
I highly recommend this bow!"

Best bow for the buck and more,August 5, 2009
By KillerBearfrom West VA
"I bought this bow recently after getting rid of an old Mathews switchback. I took it home checked it over good and started flinging arrows. This thing blew my mind! I had never shot a bow this good. I have killed many large game animals with my other bows, but this is going to be my primary weapon. Shoot it to believe it. For under $500 you can not beat this bow. Smooth, Forgiving, deadly Accurate"

nice bow,November 29, 2008
By Anonymousfrom Manhattan, Kansas
"I just bought this bow and package 3 days ago. The staff at Cabela's was very helpful choosing what arrows and broadheads I needed, and we were going in no time. I havent shot a bow in about 10 years, but last night I shot a nice 8 point with it. The let off was helpful too, since the deer decided to change paths on me. I would definitely recommend this to a friend."

Great Bow,November 13, 2008
By burythefletch
"Received my Bear Lights Out in just one day from Cabelas. I was impressed with the quality of the bow immediately. The RTS package came set up and ready to go. I did paper tune prior to dailing in the sights. I started getting nice groups in no time. For such a short axle length, this bow is very quiet and smooth. A real sweet bow and for the money, it's a winner in my book."

Noisy bow,October 30, 2008
By Noisybowshooterfrom Florida
"I ordered this bow with all the great reviews on how it shoots, that was the good part about the bow. The bad is the limb pockets are noisy when shooting. Took it to a dealer authorized place to get it fixed but they could not fix it. They told me I would have to fill the limb pocket with an RTV gel to quiet the bow down. I asked if that would void the warranty and they said yes it would.
Not impressed by the dealer nor the product.
I would not buy it to hunt with but for target shooting it would be fine."

Sweet Bow!!!!!!!,October 14, 2008
By happyunter22from North Georgia
"I got this to replace my old Golden Eagle Sparrowhawk, and am certainly not disappointed. I looked for a bow with a short axle to axle length, light weight, and fast. This bow is definitely all of those. It is easy to get into the thickest of stuff with this little bow and I don't have to sacrifice power. I hit a deer on a quartering angle and this bow had the power to shave off a two and a half inch hunk of shoulder blade and the arrow still went another 15 yards and stuck about 6 inches into the ground! Mine is set at 60lbs. and draws smooth and quietly. I am very impressed with this bow and look forward to many more years and deer!!!!!!"

Just what I was lookin' for!!!,October 13, 2008
By smitgyverfrom Cincinnati,Ohio via West Virginia
"I'm just getting back into archery after an 8 years, due to vision problems. With my vision problems fixed, I did considerable amounts of research and tried all my friends bows, Martins, Parkers, PSE's. All nice bows but when I felt the Lights Out I knew I found my bow. And being able to read a review forum such as this really helped my decision. I changed the Whisker Bisquit rest to Trophy Ridge Drop Zone, and now my friends refer to me as "Bow Deadly", ( Bo Diddly, get it ). I'm out shootin' all of'em. Thxzamundo Bear Archery & Cabela's.."

Great Bow for the price.,October 2, 2008
By LRiderfrom Wenatchee, Wa.
"I had been borrowing a bow from a friend and decided to finally bite the bullet and buy my own bow. I bought this bow and after about 20 minutes I had this bow dialed in. Everything is high quality. Its light wieght and the 60 lb draw weight feels like 40lbs. I can hold it at full draw for a very long time without getting the shakes and it just seems like its the best bow package out there for the price."

Sorry Diamond.. but i think Bear has you beat!,September 28, 2008
By Dollfinfrom Eastern Shore, MD
"i have been looking to upgrade from a much older golden eagle for about 2 years now. i was patiently waiting for this fred bear line to come out and had my mind set on the GAME OVER. however, after reading tons of bow reviews from everyone i changed my mind and decided to get the Diamond ROCK. I was so convinced that I wanted the ROCK that i almost ordered it online without shooting it. Then last week I stopped in a store to shoot it just so I would have no regrets and i'm so glad I did. I shot the Diamond ROCK, Diamond BLACK ICE, Bear LIGHTS OUT, and Bear GAME OVER. I was honestly shocked that the draw on the bears were smoother and the bears had a much more solid back wall. Another thing i noticed is that the Diamond bows felt 'top heavy' to me and wanted to fall forward and down. i tried the Diamonds with and without stabilizers but it didn't make a difference. I didn't 'feel' much difference between the Game Over and Lights Out (I liked both). The only reason I went with the Lights Out was b/c of the 30" length and forgiving brace height. Price really wasn't a consideration and I to be honest i would have paid more for the LIGHTS OUT because of these 2 minor 'advantages' since I hunt in thick woods and wanted a compact bow. The RTS package is a no-brainer even if you decide later to tweek a few things and add custom add-on's later. I'm sure the diamonds are good bows and you'll be happy with any of today's top-end bows. My recomendation is to try the bows you're considering to find what works for you and your archery situations. I ordered this bow online from Cabela's on Tuesday and it arrived Friday. I got this bow set up Saturday at my local archery shop and skimmed the shafts of 4 arrows from 20yds during setup.. can't wait till i get it fine tuned :-)"

"I recently purchased this Bear Lights Out package. The ad stated that it came "ready to shoot". They weren't kidding.

I've already recommended this bow to several friends. This bow and package deliver in every way!!! Thank you Cabela's for an affordable, shootable, quality product."
