I have a Bowtec Patriot that I love to shoot. The parallel limb technology is great it has almost 0 hand shock and so much energy is transfered into the arrow that it is unbelievable I had a complete pass through on a new bag target on the first shot. Diamond archery is pretty well known around here. Thier company is based out of Shrievport La. which is about 50 or so miles from my home. A lot of my friends have had realy good luck out of thier bows such as the Undertaker and Machete so I think you will be a happy camper with a Diamond bow.
