Draw length
To calculate your draw length, measure your wingspan from the tip of your fingers on one hand to the tip of the fingers on the other. Divide it by 2.5 and it will roughly give you what your draw length is. It will vary a bit depending on where and how you anchor the bow, but that will get you close.
Remember that as you decrease the draw length of the Bear Cruzer G2, the draw weight decreases as well. So this means that if you’re a 24” inch draw length archer and you think you can shoot this bow at 70 lbs. that is not gonna happen. The highest weight you’re gonna get is at around 62 lbs.

Value For Money
Value For MoneyYes, the Bear Cruzer G2 is an economical bow which is a great way to introduce young people into archery. If you have a 7-year old kid that you want to get started with archery, this is a bow you should seriously consider.
With its incredible adjustability range, you are looking at a 10-year investment before he outgrows it and transition to a higher range bow. And once your child turns 17 and is done with the G2, barring any mishap with the bow, you can set it up again and give it to a nephew or a niece. So you can imagine the durability and value for money this bow brings to the table.
Complete Package
The Bear G2 is a complete package bow, and the only thing you need is a release and arrows and you can take it for archery practice or hunting. Out of the box, it needs very little tuning or none at all.
Another advantage for the G2 is its double yolk design which makes it easy for cam lean adjustment. Just add or remove a twist on one side.
Some people think that a stabilizer is important but some think it’s not an absolute necessity, and more of a personal preference. Some think it dampens sound and vibration but in reality, they don’t really do a whole lot.
It might do a little but you may not even really feel it. A lot of times the stabilizer comes in helpful or handy if it’s adding weight to help the archer hold the bow steady.
The Bear Cruzer G2 does come with a stabilizer and a handy wrist sling. If you’re the type who doesn’t think a stabilizer is a necessity, you have the option not to install it. But it does look good and adds to the overall appeal of the bow.
Versatile
The Bear Archery Cruzer G2 is a versatile bow. It’s great for shooting arrows and for target practice. But if you do decide to use it for hunting, it’s a great addition to your arsenal. It can get the draw weight high enough to meet the legal standards which in some states in the USA is around 35-40 lbs.
It has enough power to take down big game animals. If you do decide to use it as your main hunting bow, you’ve made a good decision.
Its advanced grip design eliminates hand torque for enhanced accuracy making. This only means once you’ve set your sight on a target, it’s almost impossible not to hit it. Pair it with a fixed blade broadheads to get better penetration.
