I just invested about $500.00 in a Diamond Triumph (that was my budget). If I could afford more I would have spent it. I'm 46 y/o and this is my first new bow!!! I've been using a used XI Flatliner for the past 5 years or so and washappy until I shot with a friend of mine that bought a new bow...HUGE DIFFERENCE. I've been told XI went out of business in 1991 so this bow was at least 16 y/o.I cannot believe the difference in speed and how quite the new bows are. Get a new one, spend the moneyand enjoy!
