Default RE: Fred Bear Bows. Which should I get?

ORIGINAL: western outdoors

I own both the original Truth and now the Truth 2. Both are really nice bows, but the cam design is a better design on the Truth 2. I was getting premature serving wear because my original draw module channelwasn't aligned very well with the cam channel. A different module helped to correct the problem. The asymetrical track on the Truth 2 also helps a lot with serving wear. Thatbeing said, the Truth bow is still a very nice bow in my opinion. So if yourchoice is between the code and the Truth, go with the Truth. If you can afford to upgrade, go with the Truth 2.

I agree the truth 2 is better than the regular truth. But on the other handthe truth 2 isover pricedIMO. Sure they are good bows but for the same money you can get a Diamond Marquais (sp?) Mission Journy and several other bows that are better in terms of smoothness quietand speed. Heck for as little as $100 more you can buy a Mathews S2. Anyway with that said I do like the truth 2 (yes I know it doesn't sound like it). We do sell them in our shop but they are about $100 too much IMO. So far we haven't sold many yet, but we also sell and push Mathews, Hoyt, Martin as well. When a customer comes in we always let them shoot them along with the other and sure enough almost everyone says the same thing. "Hum nice bow, but it costs almost the same as such and suchbow which is nicer for almost the same price".
