Truth Archery​

1. Magnesium : The first thing you will notice is the mass weight or lack there of. It is crazy light for not being a carbon and built from machined magnesium, the lightest structural alloys available. Once you get passed that you will more than likely find two other characteristics about the bow that is also found in Magnesium and that’s its ability to dampen vibrations and a by product of that would be audible noise. In its speed class, it maybe the quietest bow I’ve ever shot. Another note, I find this to be a little warmer in the hand than my aluminum bows and with the colder mornings at 9,000 ft plus elevations I can see this having some benefit vs an aluminum riser. 

2. Fit and finish : The bow is just very ascetically pleasing to the eye. Chamfered edges and clean lines throughout with a slight velvet soft touch to the finish. Almost reminds me of the old Bowtech’s. It does have Cerakote finish but definitely soft to the touch verses others in the industry. Overall, just a very good looking bow. 

3. Titanium : To further add to the lack of weight and rust prevention per se, where all bows will start showing signs of they chose to use all titanium hardware. All bolts etc throughout are titanium so that rusty hardware will not be a problem on the Truth bows. 

4. Balance : In the hand feel is an important characteristic of a bow for me personally since I carry my bow literally everywhere when hunting. I seldom ever strap it to my pack even. After getting past how light they are they balance out very well in the hand. The bow while carrying doesn’t feel out of balance while carrying by your side or across the shoulders. Just overall a great feel in the hand in general. 

5. Grip : This is the direct contact point and can make or break a lot of bow decisions. Upon first glance I was a little hesitant from pics I’ve seen before first hand experience. This went completely away upon actually having it hand. Then went even farther away when shooting bareshafts for a week straight just to observe its reaction and how I may influence the bow good or bad. It’s super comfortable out of the gate and very forgiving. Very pleased with tune results and forgiveness down range making this grip very repeatable for me. 

6. Lateral nock travel : The Truth bows shine here as well. From brace to full draw you will find very little change in lateral movement of the cam or cam lean you might say. These are a lack of lean per se with really no change from brace to full draw, they like to be straight up and down. You’ll find this area very helpful in the tuning department and extremely forgiving to a wide spine range. When tuning these they just shoot clean no matter what you throw at them. 

7. Draw Cycle : Feel in this area is so subjective to what one is accustom to and how your muscle memory has established a certain draw force curve. It’s definitely not a harsh draw cycle and one I feel anyone can get accustom to rather quickly. It maybe the best bow in its class in terms of draw cycle to performance and the speeds it produces. I have quite a few other bows on hand for comparison and these have an ease of draw about them but do not lack in speeds at all. In draw cycle to performance department, it really doesn’t get any better currently. 

8. Strings : These days many swap out strings for their preferred custom sets and in many cases for good reason. Many strings just don’t cut the mustard and a solid custom set on a new bow is worth the price to keep serving tight and tune in check over the long haul of the year. With the Truth bows, unless you’re really wanting to customize color I’ve seen zero reason to swap out strings. The Threadz Bowstrings have been holding up very well and have been proven to be very stable. That’s first hand experience over the years trying different string builders. After my initial setup and tune process, these have been super stable. Have not budged at all and holding poundage has not been a problem with zero peep issues as well. Probably the best option in a factory set of strings from any of the manufactures currently. I’ve seen zero concerns here and no need to change unless you’re just customizing. 

9. Stability : Bow stability at full draw for the lack of weight is incredible to be honest. I have not had to add any more weight to stabilizers etc to make up for the light mass weight of the bow. Pin float is very stable and settles in very fast without that side to side pin wiggle you might see from some other bows. It’s proving to be super stable and my entire rig with 15” front bar and 8” side bar without quiver at a touch over 5 pounds. The stability is just another attribute that makes this bow special for its overall lack of mass weight. 

    •        10.    Final thoughts : I was a little hesitant at first to pull the trigger on one of these but that hesitation went completely away from the moment I received the bow and just confirmed even more through the entire process. From tuning to shooting groups down range, comparing other bows on hand and it didn’t matter what department when comparing, these bows checked all the boxes exceptionally well. My 100 yard groups have been dropping in so effortlessly it’s been quite shocking to how forgiving this bow has been for me.
