Trying to offer an overall opinion of Bear bows. If there top of the line bow is a POS IMO, what makes me think one of their other bows will be any better?  :dunno:

Thanks carp, main reason for my question is a friend just bought one. not that he knows anything its his first bow. i'm just trying not to spend too much, looking for 60lbs and better than 260 fps, quiet smooth and accurate, but lol, isn't that what we all want. back in the day 35 yards was considered long, not sure if todays gear is more accurate or todays archer is just a little more of a risktaker.

no prob glad to help. and the killing power of the new bows and the speed and ke has went up and group sizes shrank but you hit the nail on the head a lot of archers think just because there bow can shoot that far means they can as well :chuckle: i spend hundreds of hours shooting my hunting bow/ and other bows all year long and i shoot a very high speed high poundage draw and shoot farther then most people feel commfy at but it is up to each archer to find there effective range and respect that range most is 40 yards and under and thats just fine. the bears won't break the bank and they are decent for the money.

I have shot the truth 1 which my cousin owns and have shot the truth 2. I have not shot any of the new bows this year
  Out of the two that I've shot I liked the truth 1 more just felt better in my hand
 I didn't like the grip on the truth 2.  I think the bow will get the job done for you if that's the one you like but I would shoot as many bows as you can before buying one
You could even look at a used top of the line bow that is a year or two old and save yourself some coin

I hate people that knock other bow brands, all the decent brands are very good and will kill an animal easily if the shooter knows what he is doing. Even parker bows are very accurate.
