SoI shot some new BowTechs, and Diamonds last night at league..Here is a short review..
Captain- A really cool bow. The Second Generation pivoting limbs are much more eye appealing then the first. Bow is very smooth, and has a really cool "Pop" to it on the shot. Feels way faster than it actually shoots.
Swat- I really like this bow. It just felt great.. I am not a dual cam fan, but I thought it was very smooth anyhow. I don't think there is a smoother shooting dual cam bow.
Diamond Bows...
Iceman- Also a very Good Looking bow. I think they changed the finish, it felt more rubbery. The grip on this bow was my favorite. It was a pleasure to shoot.
Razor edge- This bow believe it or not is my favorite of them all. I bought one for my wife (left handed) And i have to say. Very impressive, this little bow is like a tazmanian devil, small but deadly. I shot all bows at max weight and a 29" draw. The edge at 29" with 60# limbs was actually a 63 # pull. I was shooting speedpro arrows (superlight weight) 100gr. field point. It felt great. Super smooth, and so light wieght. Kind of feels weird holding such a small bow. But shooting it through the chrono surprized me. 306 fps. I think this is the ultimate spot and stalk bow. I will be buying one.
I do own and shoot a Black Ice. Which I love. And I have owned just about everybow out there other then a Mathews. No reason, just haven't. I feel i am very Bias. This just happens to be the lines my pro shope carries. Last year I went to the other pro shop and shot all the Hoyt's, PSE's and Mathews bows. Some I really liked. But the owner was such a D*ck that I decided to go elsewhere. I just wish he knew that I had $1400 in my wallet!

Life is nothing like a box of chocolates. It's more like a box of Jalapeno's, What you do today can burn you ass tomorrow!
If you like the SWAT, wait until you see the Air Raid bow. They kept it under wraps until the ATA. There are a few pics of it over on AT. I can't wait to get my hands on one to shoot.
I will be shooting a few tonight. I love shooting new bows! I have shot the Admiral but plan to again along with the Iceman, Black Ice, Captain and Hoyt AlphaMax 32. I do not like the looks of the Hoyt bows, but if I've heard such good things about the AM that I will shoot it out of curiousity.
I believe the rubbery finish you felt is the In Velvet finish.
Just bought a 09 Razor Edge for my 11yr old son. That is such a sweet little setup!
I had to laugh just thinking about the first compounds I had (many of us had) .... I bet this thing at 42# has moreuumph than my old bows at 60! And I can guarantee it will shoot better. Technology is amazing sometimes.
WVHunter, ain't it nuts how far it's come? I still have my first bow, an old Golden Eagle magnesium riser thing. The cables were just that, STEEL cables! I killed a few deer with that thing somehow.
