Default Bear attitude vs Bear Authority

I want to start bowhunting and I was just wondering which bow I should buy?
Bear attitude or Bear authority bow packages?
Thank you

Thanks.
I will head to Calgary archery Center to try them out.
But is there any pros or cons of choosing one over the other.
Sorry for this stupid questions but I'm just new to hunting in general

I recently pick up the Bear Attitude. Unfortunately, I cannot give you an expert's review as this is my first compound bow. But I will offer my observations on it: The draw is smooth, it was a great choice for me because of my long draw length (31.5"), the axle to axle length is 31" so I would imagine it would be much more manageable in the bush than some of the longer compound bows. I have put about 45-50 arrows through it so far & no problems encountered.

The only issue with this bow (and its nit-picking to even mention it): The Bear Archery emblems on the grip don't fit well on the bow, they rattled a bit when I bought it, tightening the bolts didn't help. I had to remove them, put a dot of adhesive on the back of each scale & then reattach them. Other than that, no problems have been encountered.

I picked up the Attitude RTH package as I need a LH 32" draw bow. Incredible value for the price. Fits me well and is a smooth draw. I haven't shot it much but I'm thinking this will be my go to bow this year. I'd recommend this bow to any newbie or someone like me with a bunch of bow seasons under their belt but who isn't needing to buy the latest and greatest of everything.
