Pinwheel 12 & JefB,
Thanks for the honest responses on the high country. I was reading searched post on HC while these replies were being made and was wondering about the longevity of the company if no one wants to run it. I guess the lifetime warranty is only good for the life of the company.
So is the present longevity of Diamondarcheryinc. a good one?

Bigcountry25, thanks your insight of the stinger. I must say it's not the review I was hoping for. It's lower ata was scaring me off allready. But the vibration of the shot would not seem to be an atribute of the ata as much as it would the design of the bow which might be present in the rest of their lineup.
I guess I really need to shoot one before buying, but hate to visit the shop just to "check it out" because the guy running the place is a little more "helpfull" than I care for. I guess there's a fine line between too much help and not enough. He's on the wrong side of too much, won't let me look without playing 20 questions with him. And the desperate "please buy one" look in his eyes- oh the pain.

Hope those coments don't offend any shop owners helping me here, any advice on how to try out a bow without feeling obligated to buy it afterwords?
