Building upon the success of the phenomenal Fred Bear Truth from 2007, the engineers at Fred Bear set out to change a few things for 2008.  But after months of collaboration and field-testing with Team Primos, they ended up changing everything!  As you might expect, the TRUTH 2 is certainly an "on-paper" improvement over the original;  it's faster - quieter - lighter - and more forgiving.  But forget about all that.  The TRUTH 2 isn't just the sum of it's parts and gizmos.  The TRUTH 2 is a total system advancement, the perfect harmony of technology, ergonomics, and craftsmanship.  By the time you unload your first quiver full of arrows, we guarantee you'll be singing in the Fred Bear Choir too.  The Truth 2 feels so good, you just won't want to put it down.

What's a "total system advancement"?  Here's an example.  The Truth 2 incorporates Dual Arc String Suppressors, one upper, one lower.  Working in conjunction, the Dual Arc Suppression system stops forward string inertia and arrests vibration before it starts.  This means no more string-slap on your forearm and no more buzzing string resonance.  But more importantly, the Dual Arc Suppressors help every arrow to disengage the string at precisely the same moment.  So every shot with the Truth 2 is exactly the same as the last.  Through a 20 shot chronograph sequence, our test bow varied by less than 1 fps.  That's serious consistency!  That's system enhancement!  That's the Truth 2!

As you might expect, we've load the new Truth 2 up with the very best of everything.   You get your choice of arrow rest, sight, release, arrow shafts, broadheads, and quiver.  PLUS you also get a Sims stabilizer, hard case, wrist sling, and MUCH MORE.  But don't expect the box to be full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because like all of our Ready-to-Hunt™ Bow Packages, the Truth 2 Package comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case.  Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance; professionally installing the accessories, custom
building the arrows, tuning and testing the finished rig......the whole works!  This rig arrives 100% ready to shoot.

Bow Package Details:  Accessory Choices

ARROW REST CHOICE #1
QAD Ultra Rest Drop Away

Unlike other rests that drop-away because of inertia or vibration the ULTRA REST relies on the velocity of the Rest moving forward to initiate the launcher to drop. VDT assures the ULTRA-REST remains in the cocked position even on a slow let down and will only drop-away if the bow is fired. VDT is a durable and reliable firing mechanism which is sure to change the way you look at drop away rests. ARROW WILL NOT FALL OFF REST. When The Ultra-Rest works (full time) totally supporting and capturing the arrow.
ARROW REST CHOICE #2   Most Popular Pick
Deluxe Quikshot Whisker Biscuit

Your arrow will never fall off the rest again. Just nock it and forget it with the new QuikShot EZ loading system. The great shooting, silent drawing Whisker Biscuit has taken the industry by storm. Once you try it, you'll never go back to standard prong rests. Deluxe version features micro-adjust windage and elevation. 2-Color B2 improved bristles allow for better arrow support on the lower edge of the biscuit, while allowing fletching to glide through more easily - with less loss of arrow velocity and less damage to vanes and feathers.
 
ARROW REST CHOICE #1
Vapor Trail Limb Driver Drop Away

One of the most popular drop away rests of the season.  The Limb Driver isn't activated like most drop away rests.  The cord is simply attached to the upper limbs, rather than the cables.  So it works in perfect synchronization with the deflection of the limbs during the draw cycle.  Comes with mounting brackets to specifically accommodate wide tipped split-limb bows.   Free floating launcher blade at full draw allows initial arrow shock to be absorbed, resulting in no contact arrow flight and more accuracy, which transfers more energy to the arrow.  Features quiet coated launcher pads. 

SIGHT CHOICE #1
Toxonics Top Dog K9 Toolless

The K9-5T comes standard with 5 pins that have a wrapped fiber optic strand attached to each pin. The K9-5T has an aluminum pin guard which features a bubble level for accuracy and repeatability as well as a florescent green aim ring for centering the sight in the peep.  Features a reversible offset extension bar, which fits the sighting window of all types of bows and shooting styles. The Toolless windage allows for easy adjustments in the field, since it does not require an allen wrench.  Comes with .029 12L-14 steel pins.
SIGHT CHOICE #2   Most Popular Pick
Trophy Ridge Matrix 3/5 Pin

Vertical Pin Technology!!!  With a Peep-Aligning Reflective Sight Ring, Hunter’s Leveling Bubble, and camouflage finish, the Matrix is the must-have accessory item for any hunting setup. The Case Hardened Steel .029 inch Sight Pins are the brightest pins available and will deliver exceptional performance and durability in any situation you could possibly put your equipment through. Also features Dual Harmonic Damper Bracket which stops vibration in its tracks to reduce noise, and shock.
 
SIGHT CHOICE #3 
TruGlo Apex Atomic 4-Pin w/Light

An innovative bracket design and unique dual-end fibers sets the new Atomic Series 4-Pin Sight apart from the competition. The pivoting elevation bracket reduces the number of sight components to lighten the weight and makes pin adjustment easier.  The 4 .029" pins are locked on a single plane for pinpoint aiming and easy gang adjustments. Glow-in-the-dark shooter's ring to help align peep sight.  Adjustable level. Laser markings for windage and elevation. Violet LED light included.

RELEASE CHOICE #1
Truball Copperhead Buckle/Velcro

The World's Smallest Dual Caliper! The "copper" head, trigger and jaws are made of STAINLESS STEEL using state of the art MIM Technology (Metal Injection Molding). MIM allows shapes that are impossible for CNC machines while providing virtually the same strength as stock material. Don't be fooled with weak powdered metal substitutes!  Comes with super-comfortable camo strap and gun-style curved trigger.  
RELEASE CHOICE #2
Scott Wildcat SS w/NCS Velcro

The Wildcat’s forward trigger design maximizes draw length and bow speeds for string loop shooters, while delivering exceptional accuracy. The Scott Wildcat NCS offers exceptional performance, strength and durability and features the patent-pending micro-adjustable NCS (nylon connection system) for a precise fit, regardless of hand size. Comes in stainless steel finish.  Fully adjustable trigger for just the right feel. 
 
RELEASE CHOICE #3   Most Popular Pick
TruFire Hurricane Buckle Foldback

If you’re looking for the "state of the art" bowhunting release this year, look no further. The jaws on all of the Hurricanes open when you depress the trigger, and close when you let up on the trigger. The Hurricane line utilizes a free-floating, self centering steel roller that does not slide over the jaws but rolls along the inside of the jaws. This new patented design makes these releases the smoothest on the market today.

Bow Package Details:  Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package
is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional.  Every detail is attended to.  The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings.  The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow.  Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package.  Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy.  We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly.  3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters.  We use the 25/2 rule.  If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met.  While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot.  This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard.  When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer.  And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry.  You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration.  2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power).  Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package
will likely shoot a measured 266-307 fps once setup with a "loaded" string.  NOTE:  Expect lower speeds (but increased Kinetic Energy) if you select the heavier Easton ST Axis Full Metal Jacket shafts. We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range.  You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package.  This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system.  Keep this sheet for your reference.  If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING  (excluding AK and HI)
Each fully assembled
2008 Fred Bear Truth 2 Bowhunting Package is delivered - packed tightly in the hardshell bowcase.  The bow and the arrows are firmly strapped into place and the loose parts, like the release, are all safely tucked inside too.  Once full, the bowcase is then returned to it's original box and resealed.  Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business within 1-5 working days.  A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.
