Default Bowtech Liberty Vs. Diamond Gladiator

To those responsible for the last bout Bowtech Liberty vs. Champion Diablo. How about seeing the Liberty defend its title against the Diamond Gladiator. This would be a great matchup as they are both similar top quality bows. If someone would do a good nonbaised comparisson it would make for a good read. Are we ready to rumble !!

Give Hunter's friend or Keystone Country store a ring. They have the resources for such a test....

I e-mailed Hunters Friend and suggested the matchup, If others would like to see this I suggest you also e-mail them and let them know, maybe if they here from enough people we can get it done
Thanks

Isn't the Gladiator more of a speed bow? Maybe a better matchup would be the Diamond Machete.

Gladiator 7" brace 34" axel to axel
Liberty 7 1/2" brace 33 1/4 axel to axel
Both very similar in weight, within 3 oz of each other.
Sounds like a closer matchup than the Machete to me

Not to be greedy but...I'd like to see newly updated 04 Patriot VFT (Solo Cam) up against the Gladiator. These two are an even closer match than the Liberty would be. Much deserved, but I feel the success of the Liberty is casting a shadow over a great bow in the Patriot VFT. We need some more press for the Patriot.

Yes I agree the Patriot has been taking a back seat to the liberty and the Justice for sure . The patriot is still a fantastic bow and is in the top 10 as far as I'm concerned .

Yep, I'd say the Patriot would be a better match, given both bows would have 7" brace. If the Gladiator is more their speed bow, let 'em have at it.

The Patriot sounds good to me.. Im curious to see what they have to say about the Gladiator as this is not a bow you will see a lot of, similar to the Diablo. In my area you do not see many if any dealers carrying the Diamond or Champion line.

Received an e-mail from Mike at Hunters Friends, He wasnt familiar with the Gladiator but said they were looking for new bows to try and that that Bowtech and Diamond seemed like a good matchup. Hopefully we will see another test soon regardless of what they choose.
