Default Brand New Bow!!

Man, I'm alive again. I have been shooting different bows, reading,doing homework and asking around. I finally sold my 1998 Golden Eagle Evolution, andpurchased a 2008 Diamond Marquis. I will probably go to jail for shooting a deer this summer(just kidding). I did not get thechance to sight it in thisevening but it is shooting 268 fps with no tweaking. I know it is not a blazer, but it seems like one compared to my old bow and it is one smooth ride, I am hooked again. I mainly just hunt, but I can see me experimenting with a little 3-D stuff when I get it right. Just wanted to share my excitment with yall. Give me some feed back on this bow if anybody has one. The Draw cycle really sold me compared to the General, Vortex,Limbsaver,and the 101st and 82nd Airborne.

Not having shot any of the new bowtechs except my 07 Allegiance, I really liked the Marquis.... so much as i was gonna try to buy one, but i got a great deal in my Ally and I love the perfect median of smoothness with speed, But the Marquis was SO smooth from draw all the way throught the shot. It is a great bow. Congrats!
