Have you guys shot the Bear Truth 2...

some people will disagree..but that is the Quietest bow I have ever shot!

I hate the Draw Cycles on the new PSEs

I havent' got to shoot the Bowtechs or Hoyts(pro-shops Range was out of electricity)

Mathews upset me..they didn't do anything special for me to buy!

I have a Forge coming in soon!! If its free what can you say!!

I have shot the Truth 2 and really like it. I also have the original Truth which I really like, but the second one is better. That was actually the top bow on my list, but I have a PSE X-Force on the way because I found a good deal. I'm just wondering whether I made the right decision. Wonder if I should have waited to get the Truth 2 just because it felt comfortable to me. Oh well, If I don't like the X-Force maybe I'll trade with someone or sell it to someone on here for a good price.

I bought an 82nd Airborne about a month ago. I shot a TON of new bows, and the 82nd just felt like the best all around bow to me. Great combination of performance, shootability, quietness and comfort.

That stinks! I had been wanting to buy my hubby a new bow, the one he had was his first bow and he got it when he was fourteen or fifteen, last week I told him to shoot some bows and see what he thinks. Well he found one he wanted so I figured now is the best time to get it so he has plenty of time to shoot it before work picks up, and I am getting a new release out of the deal. He got the Martin fast cat or was it the Bengle?
I have a Bear Oddysey and it works fine for me, currently I am shooting 2 out of six bullseyes and will be doing a bit better once my release comes in. We put a drop away rest on it and I have been shooting fingers so my arrows come out a bit screwy, my release should be in some time next week.

In 2007 I purchased a ross CR337 as my last bow was a darton mustang which i bought in 1993/1994. I said it bewill another 10-12 yrs before i purchase another bow unless its an xbow. Well for 2008 i bought an excalibur phoenix which will be used for target shooting until the time that NYS or NJ allows them to be used by anyone in either the general gun season ,archeryor a late season primitive weapons season.

JUst picked up the Marquis and this bow works great nice and quiet when you couple it with a Schaffer drop away rest. Fast to. Smooth draw!! I personaly shot the Xforce and thought that the Binary Cam system felt harsh, the Truth 2 really impressed me it was light ,quiet,smooth almost bought one.

Just wanted to come in and correct myself, he got the firecat and not the fastcat, as you can tell I don't know a whole lot about bows, but understand that most care enough that I should correct this mistake.
