A couple of weeks ago I was at Cabelas and shot the Bear/Primos Truth II bow. I have 2 High Country bows set a 60# and this bow was smoother than both of those and easier to draw and hold and was set at 68#. At the 20 yd indoor range there, even with an unfamilar release I put the four arrows into a tight little group. Even took the nock off one of the arrows. When I'm ready to buy I think I will give this bow another more serious look.

I also recently shot the Truth 2 and was very impressed. The draw cycle was really smooth and it had a decent valley. It wasn't the hardest wall I've ever felt, but it also wasn't incredibly spongey. Shot vibration was very minimal, speed seemed good, and overall it was a really nice feeling and shooting bow.

A lot of people out there like to look down on bows that aren't built by Mathews, Hoyt, or Bowtech but I have to say this is a really nice bow. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to pick one up and go fliing some arrows with it.

I did shoot this bow at cabelas a few nights ago and did like the smooth draw cycle. I wasn't impressed with the noise, it wasn't terrible but when i had the guy crank the limb bolts down it had a pretty food buzz to it. Could have just been that bow. All mods and e-clips seemed to be tight. All in all not bad still better out there in that price range in my opinion. But if you shoot well with it go for it and post the picks of the buck you take with it!!! Good Luck!!!
