Default RE: Diamond versus Bowtech

Rangeball, Crunched for cash? not yet. With the baby on the way- the wife says to get it now before it's out of the question. But then if I do I'll be guilted into buying her some "great job delivering my first baby" jewelry for the same amount.

I've been hunting with the same bow for 6+ years and just have the bug for a shorter more forgiving bow with a little more speed. If memory serves correctly my z-light came ibo'd at ~305 fps. But when mathews replaced my cracked limbs it would only crank up to 67#. Which is were I'm using it now.
I'm shooting a heavy carbon now at 252 fps because the lighter ones made my bow a lot louder even with the limb savers and doinker stabilizer. I was just hoping to gain some K/E so I could jump up to the 1 3/4+ cut mechanicals, although the 1.5" I am using now (sidewinder) did a great job on the last deer I shot.

I guess I'll shoot the undertaker and the sniper he has on hand and see how much better they are than my z-light and reflex extreme. If I don't start drooling after the shot, I may just keep on shooting my old bow. But if the differance is very noticable I'll be leaving with the undertaker or ordering the hornet.

Thanks for all the help guys and I hope some other semi- lost individual has been able to use the advice you all have given to me.
