My cousin has the truth 1 it is not a bad shooting bow for the price but it is few years old now.  He has never had a problem with it yet and it has killed a few deer.  I don't know much about the new ones but shop around and shoot a few would be my advice.

If you're looking at a beginners bow I would look at the Bowtech Sniper.  Very smooth and has a long brace height so it is VERY forgiving.  Speaking of which you can get a Mathews Switchback on EBay for about $400.  And that is a very nice bow.  From what I understand one of THE best bows Mathews ever made.  So I'd checkout ebay.

I shoot a bear Instinct and it is a great bow for the money, you can get one on ebay for 250.  It shot fast enough to blow through an elk at 60 yards.

I bought an "Attack" last year from a sales rep and he through in a "Truth 2". The "Truth" shoots better than the "Attack". However, Will Primos and I don't see eye to eye, so I refuse to keep it. If you want it, get ahold of me, bts@toledotel-wb.com or 360.749.5244.

I bought my Bear Truth as a “last year’s model” (’07 in ’08) on E-bay.
I highly suggest looking there for excellent prices.
It will take some real convincing to get it away from me OR to change manufacturers again. I started with Bear many years ago, went to PSE (regretted the decision after two weeks) and then got the Truth.

Mine is quiet and accurate.

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service are bonuses.

i went through 5 bows in one yr befor i ended up with a mathews dxt. i suguest that you go to a pro shop and shoot a bunch of bows befor you buy one. so you end up happy with the bow you have.if i had done that it would have saved me a bunch of money.and waisted time.i ended up buying the dxt on ebay for half what i could have got it for at a pro shop. so if you can find a used high end bow i think you are better off.
