i bought a diamond because when i shot all the others under 450$ nothing came close. this was last season so there might be better ones out now but id suggest taking a look at them i got mine for $350. i think its just stupid to pay more then about 450 even then what are you really getting. same goes for broadheads, fixed cost as much as or more then mechanicals now. my brothers and father killed more deer then i can think of with a 99$ bear bow from k-mart and cabelas cheap broadheads. the only reason everything is so expensive is people buy into it and get a new bow every couple years.
