I like the looks of the bow, except for the string suppressor and roller guard. I think that could be designed much better... hopefully it's just a prototype with ideas
Maybe Pat will grace us with his presence and offer more insight on the design of the cable guard. Here is a picture he posted in AT of the string suppressor design. He also mentioned that under slow motion video this new design outperforms other suppressors that were tested.

The specs on the Airborne 82 are a little off, too... 342 - 350 fps producing 95.23 lbs. of kinetic energy.

I heard all of this a few weeks ago, but didnt know how much truth there was behind it and didnt want to start any rumors. I cant wait to see the new bows shoot.

I wish! I just found the pictures over at ArcheryTalk. Looks pretty interesting. Apparently this bow is taking the place of the Tribute according to various rumors.


Looks like BowTech finally got on board with the roller style cable guide. I've got that on my Mathews and it's a far better design (IMO) than the slider type.
Pretty cool looking bow for sure.

Looks like Choices for a new Bowtech will be even harder this year. Quite a Lineup!!

lol, when you factor what is coming out from Diamond then it becomes even harder. Between both lines they really do have something for just about everyone.

If this price tag is true on the Diamond Rock I expect it to be a big seller.

New Price point Diamond called the Rock
31.5" axle
7" brace
parallel limbs
318 IBO
Get this $399

Another new diamond called the Marquis
34.5" axle
7" brace
roller guard and string stop
324 IBO
I thought they said $699
