i will do my best to answer and not try to steer you away like the other  i have shot the bow and for bear bows i say it is 3rd best bear bow that i have shot. i like the truth 2 the best. it is a decent bow and shoots pretty good. fairly smooth not bad on vib decent bow. hope this helps

man are you guys thread jacking or what he asked about a bow not what bow you will be buying i own 10 brands of bows as of right now and i am die hard pse fan but i am not going to try to take over the thread. if you have not shot the charge you don't need to add your 2 cents. what i said is i have shot the truth 2 and think it to be a little better then the charge. and anyone wants to take a look at the score board matthews is still chasin PSE ARCHERY  so catch us if you can lol

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?

how is that a overall opinion of there bows? we are not comapring them if you did not like the bow he is talking about tell us why and for the record bear bows in one of the bows i will not own myself and i own a lot of bows so i am not sticking up for bear bows because i do not care for them but giving info on what i thought

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 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

Buy a HOYT

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.

found a destroyer for 350 is that a good deal, lol jk.  i have been looking a craigs list for a while any other sources i might try for a good used bow. cg seems to have a shady bow or two around.
