havnt shot that model yet. but you cant go wrong with a bear they have been around forever and consistantly make great bows for the money you pay for them

Like everyone already said, (never shot that particular bow) but Bear makes great bows for the price. I shoot the Lights Out..Good luck with it

Last two Bear bows I owned shot as easily and accurately as anything I've ever owned, and better than most. I had a Buckmaster in Adv. Timber camo , and I had the Fred Bear bow company model that was like the original Code but with a perimeter weighted cam (cannot remember the name)- that PWC bow was easily one of the 5 best shooting bows Ive owned. I could not miss with that SOB.

I've handled the new Truth2 and it's a fantastic bow- especially considering the price- I want one! I think Bear gets a bad rap, but it's really undeserved- no they are not the upper echelon of speed and "performance" or have the coolest risers with the most meticulous machining- they are just well priced solid working-man hunting bows, and thats a great niche to be in, IMO. Generally the strings and cables are the weakest link (barring the T2) -replace them with something high quality.
