The mission of Bear Archery is the same today as it was when Fred Bear started this company in 1933, to give people access to the sport of archery by building quality archery products at affordable prices. They continue to design products from youth to adult and from compound to traditional, ensuring their customers have the best possible selection to support the hobby they love.

• Compound Bow: Alaskan XT RTH
  Named after the last frontier and built to endure anything - the new Alaskan XT. Meticulously designed and packed with unprecedented features in its price category, compromise is out of the question. Powered by the ultra-efficient DHC-XR cam system, this bow is capable of speeds up to 335fps while still providing an easy to shoot 80% let-off.
  
• Crossbow: Constrictor Pro
  The Constrictor Pro, a proven performer, redesigned for even more power on an extremely compact frame. The Constrictor Pro measures a mere 8.125” wide cocked and roughly 12” wide uncocked, making it perfect while hunting in tight quarters.
  
• Traditional Bow: Fred Bear Take Down
  First introduced by Fred Bear more than 50 years ago, the Bear Take Down was a modern and innovative design that revolutionized the archery industry. In Way of the Hunter available as A length riser, this iconic bow features the signature 1969 heal horn style grip to allow for a deep feel and consistent grip.
  
• Bow sight: Trophy Ridge Attack Pro
• Crossbow Scope: Bear X Speed
  With the Bear X Speed Crossbow Scope you will clearly see your target with multi-coated, ultra-clear glass and 1-5 x 24 x 30mm magnification.
  

The Bear Archery Pack is available now at an SRP of €4.99 / $4.99. The base game is required to play the DLC. Way of the Hunter is available for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S at an SRP of $39.99 / €39.99.
