I have not shot the Bear truth. Did buy a 09 MOAB. I have about two hundred arrows through it. The STS pad has fallen off cemented back on then it split eletrical taped it back together. Set screw for STS worked loss. The archery shop that I bought it from called Martin and have a couple coming my way. The draw is smooth. No vibration. I like the grip. Bow overall is pretty quiet. Getting 268 fps with a 28" Gold Tip at 70lbs and 28"dl.
