I have shot the Black Ice. Shoots beautifully. If you look at the manufactures specs though it does not come in a 25" draw length. Iread a lot on this forum about being "overbowed" both in weight and especially draw length. I've always known thata significant number of archers/bowhunters shoot bows with too long a draw. I will not make that mistake.

It appears many bows come in 26" and up. Some start out even longer. The Black Ice I believe comes in 25.5 and up. Other bows that come in at 25" that I have shot are:

Diamond- Triumph
Liberty (I liked the Liberty a lot)

Hoyt- Vectrix (I liked that a lot also)

Bowtec- Guardian (I liked that also)

Parker- Don't recall the model (Nice but I like the above bows better)

I appreciate everyone's input. I think I will take the predominant advice and order a bow with 50-60 lb limbs though. I was concerned about performance at the middle of the weight range or even under. But I would not want to be restricted to a maximum of 50#.

Thanks
