I also own the Truth and I love it. I started with the Instinct and had similar problems with fraying strings and cables. Bear Customer Service replaced most everything on the bow but it was never right. Instead of losing a customer, they took back the Instinct and upgraded me to a Truth, no questions asked. I love the bow!!

The strings they had on last year were junk, though. I out on Giblet strings and cables, along with a STS, and it shoots great.
