I haven't shot one, but I did get to look one over very well this past weekend at the Cabelas store on my way home from the sportsmans show. I was impressed to be honest. It should be a fantastic hunting bow.
Rick James, I think it is a good bow, if I sell my X Force, which Im really having second thoughts on, I will likely buy the truth 2 if I can get in 290 -300 fps zone with it. I have such a short DL though, 26.4" but I do pull 74# easily and have done so for many years, that's how I have managed to get decent speed with other bows. My X Force is around 309 fps now and that's plenty fast for me, in fact it maybe why Im shooting so inconsistent, not used to that speed or short brace Height.

Bear is looking at offering a different style wood grip as an option on the Truth 2. That's the only gripe I consistently hear - the cheap looking grip.
I don't know why bow manufacturers consistently overlook something as important as a grip. It literally makes or breaks a bow alot of times. You can do everything else right, but if the grip sucks, it can KILL sales.
I think I just can't get used to the 6" brace height. My groups are terrible and I have no confidence when I shoot. Granted I killed every deer I shot this year, but some shot towards the end were marginal hits, lethal, but not exactly where I planned on hitting them. If I don't sell it, I will still be ok though, I love the speed, and the bow is smooth drawing, and Im successful with it, but I really liked the Truth 2 it was more of a hunting bow to me than the X Force.

I'll be honest, I thought the grip on the Truth bow was one of the best I've seen on a production hunting bow. It was fantastic. It wasn't wood, but the shape of it was perfect for consistent hand placement.

It may be a functionally perfect grip. Butunfortunately, I think alot of people (unfairly perhaps) associate a black rubbery grip with a cheap or inferior product. If I were in charge of a bow company, I would never allow a black rubber grip to be put on a high end bow just because of the negative stigma. Don't you think most people prefer a thin wood grip these days (ie Bowtech, Hoyt), especially on a high end bow?
I see what you are saying qzq38b, but I agree with Rick James, the grip felt way better than my thin X Force grip, it really was tigh feeling yet , comfortable. Did not look pretty though!!
