Default Reflex or Diamond

I'm going to a pro-shop to shoot the Reflex Growler and the Diamond Rapture. Hopefully one of those shoots good for me because then I'm going to get it.

Nobody can really tell you what is best for you. Go shoot as many models from the 2 manufactures as you can,and the choice should become clear as to what You prefer.

I thought Diamond stopped making the Rapture? Like Dan said try as many as possible before deciding.

The Rapture is not listed for 08.

Nope, no Raptures for this year. The replacement for that bow is the Rock.

I tried a bunch of medium priced bows back in October, looking for a backup bow - and bought the Reflex Growler. I liked it almost as well as the Hoyt Vectrix, which is about $300 more. Have had zero problems with the Growler - it is very light and has good balance. Quiet and accurate. Not blistering fast, but I knew that going into it.
