Default new bow

I was considering a truth 2, martin bengal or firecat. Was wanting to get some info on any of those? If any has one,like how quiet and reliable they are?

I have a Truth 2, and I love it. It's very quiet, and I only have a stabilizer on it, no String Leeches, or Limb Savers, or anything. It's very shock-free on the hand also. Most people I have talked to do not really like how the grip feels, but that's one of my favorite things on the bow. I have not had any problems with it. If I were you though, I'd go shoot all of them, and maybe some other bows, and buy what you like the most.
Good luck

I love my Truth 2. Very light, smooth draw, quiet, and shock free. Might be my favorite bow that I own so far, and that is saying something if you look at the bows I own in my signature. In fairness to the Guardian, I haven't owned and shot it very much yet.

They're all going to be reliable, as for quiet, I know nothing about the Martin's but I did shoot a Bear Truth 2 at Cabela's and it's a definite nice shooter. Had I been buying a bow that day at Cabela's, I'd have been stuck between the Diamond Black Ice and the Truth 2, because they both felt really nice. The only thing I didn't like about the Bear was the Grip, as mentioned above, and that's an easy fix, but otherwise, it's a super nice bow. I've heard good things about the Bengal, and for $400 it would seem like a pretty good deal any way you slice it if it's even comparable to the other two. Not sure how much the Firecat is, but that Bengal seems like a pretty good "Bang for yer Buck" as far as that goes.
