Well skip the Diamond and go right for the Mother...Bowtech Gaurdian, Airborn, General, Flat Liner, Or you can look at the Mathews too. Lots of good Bows out there and if yer willin to drop 15-2500$ Might as well go big....Diamonds are Nice bows. Tinkerd with one for a day sortta. Look around and hold a few....Best bow for you aint alway the most exspensive too!! I bought My gaurdian cause I like the look and how it feels, Next choice was the Diamond Black Ice!

fishman1 164 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 hoyt bows have been the industry leader for decades. 95% of archers in the olympic games shoot hoyt. that tells you something right there. my friend shot bowtech for 3 years and loved them. he just purchased a new hoyt and cant believe the difference. the hoyt is in a league of its own compared to the bowtech. his scores have jumped almost 15 points in the winter league. it comes down to a matter of preference, ford, dodge, chevy. remington, browning, sako. there are lots of good equipment out there , its a matter of what feels good to you.
