Bear Truth 2 or Mathews Drenaline?
I was wondering if anyone had any reviews for these two. I'm leaning towards a Bear because i've always had success with these. However, a buddy of mine hasa drenaline and he loves it. What can you tell me?

I DEFINATELY wouldn't limit myself to these two. BUT if you HAVE to choose between the two, the Drenalin is the better bow. I honestly wasn't inpressed with the Truth OR the Truth2. The Truth 2 has a weird thumb to it when you shoot it. I guess it has something to do with the dual string suppressors.

Well what bow would you recommend if I didn't limit between these two? The Bear's have always been good to me, but I haven't bought a new one in 2 years and was wondering if Bowtech, PSE, or Martin had a good one out there?

A lot of manufacturers have a lot of great bows to offer right now. You really can't go wrong in any budget from any company. Your best bet, and I sound like a broken record, would be to head to as many local shops as you can and shoot as many different bows as you can. Don't limit yourself to brands; buy what feels best to you.

Honestly, go to a couple local bowshops and ask to shoot everything in your price range. You can do ALOT better for the money, than the Truth. Shoot Bowtechs, Mathews, Hoyts, PSE, Elite, Ross, Martin...etc. Shoot what your shops have.

I would def try as many bows as i could, that being said if for whatever reason you choose the Truth 2 i would first try to see if i could find a left over Truth (would that make it the Truth 1, now that the Truth 2 is out? i dunno). They are basically the same bow except for the new string suppressor things which don't really do anything but add a couple fps to it. the truth IBO is like 310-315 fps and the truth 2's IBO speed is like 314-318 fps, a difference that you prob wont notice and the deer certainly wont notice. So for likely much less money you can buy a Truth 1 and have basically the same bow as the Truth 2
