The Bear Archery Adapt-2 HP line brings serious performance and versatility to the hunting bow market. Designed in collaboration with The Hunting Public, both the Adapt-2 HP RTH (“Ready To Hunt”) and the Adapt-2 HP (bow only) are built on the same modern platform. The differences boil down to accessories, value, and what you need ready-made vs. want to customize.
Common Features
Both versions share the same core specs: a 31-inch axle-to-axle frame, brace height around 6.5″, draw length adjustable from 27-32″, draw weight options of 45-60 lbs or 55-70 lbs, and an impressive cam system called the DHC Hybrid Cam. They offer up to 330 feet per second (FPS) arrow speed with an 80% let off—ideal for those hunting heavy brush or needing high speed without sacrificing smooth draw. The grip (Bear Paw), roller cable slide, and damping system (in-limb, in-riser, and string-stop) help reduce vibration, noise, and friction, all contributing to better accuracy and stealth.

Adapt-2 HP RTH (Ready to Hunt Package)
This package comes loaded with everything needed out of the box. It includes premium accessories from Trophy Ridge: a Fatal 4-Pin sight with a Picatinny mount, a Whisker Biscuit V™ rest with the integrated mounting system, a Snubnose stabilizer, 5-spot quiver, peep sight, wrist sling, etc. For hunters who want to walk in the field immediately without sourcing all the extras, this is a big plus. Price is higher, but you get the full kit. Bear Archery
Adapt-2 HP (Bow Only)
If you already own or plan to customize your rest, sights, stabilizer, and other accessories, the bow‐only model gives you the same high performance at a lower cost. For those who like choosing or upgrading gear themselves, or want to split up expenses over time, this can make more sense. You still get the mapping bonus (3-month OnX Elite Membership) and the same mechanics. Bear Archery
Which Should You Pick?
For a hunter who values convenience and wants to hit the woods fast, the RTH version is tough to beat—it’s all set up, tuned, and loaded with gear. For someone more DIY-oriented, or who has favorite accessories already, the bow-only version likely offers better value. Whichever you pick, the Adapt-2 HP platform is strong: fast, smooth, and capable. It’s a solid choice if you’re after modern performance in a package built for real hunting situations.
