I’ve used the Bruzer to bag a Cape buffalo, and even got brave enough to use it to bag a grizzly bear once. It’s compact and easily maneuverable in tree stands or ground blinds, and it’s extremely quiet and vibration-free. Once you get to your hunting spot, though, this baby really shines. If you don’t have far to hike to your favorite hunting spot, it’s not so bad, but if you have to trek several miles you’ll surely suffer some fatigue. At nine pounds, this is one of the heaviest crossbows I’ve ever come across. That makes it very well-suited for hunting, except for one thing: the weight. The Bruzer is powerful enough to take on even the largest game, delivering 99.3 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. Will Hunters Enjoy the Bear Archery Bruzer FFL?

I was able to maintain 1-inch patterns from 30 yards, and 1.5-inch patterns from 40 yards. I love firing x-bows with forward-facing limbs, because the balance achieved makes them a dream to shoot. Once sighted in, which is a quick and easy process that I’ll detail in a bit, you can begin working on your accuracy. With my compressed foam target block 40 yards away, this crossbow can send the 20-inch bolts all the way through and into my haybale backstop. The Bruzer slams arrows into the target at 335 fps, with 99.3 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. This isn’t the fastest model I’ve come across, but for a x-bow with a draw weight of just 125 pounds, it’s pretty respectable.
