I'm with PreacherTony and Gutshot. One of the bows that I shot when shopping was a Diamond Liberty 70#. I strained to draw it and my shoulder popped and I almost hit the ground. I stood up and rotated my arm and it popped again. The owner and my wife heard both pops. (I still have shoulder problems from that.) When I shot the Drenalin at 70#, it drew smooth and felt much lighter than the Liberty, and theLiberty is reported to be an easier drawing bow. I don't know why I'm different, but I love the draw cycle on the Drenalin. Guess we're all different.
I owned a liberty for a couple years and it's still the smoothest drawing bow I've ever owned. I've not heard one complaint about the draw cycle on the lib. but then again there's a lot of different people out there.
I' m surprised to hear someone say that as well. I think the Diamonds are an easy draw. No harshness when the cam breaks over and 70lbs. feels like 60. At least to me.
Maybe there's just a difference in terminology here. Smooth,harsh,etc. are written and as such subjective.
The original post referred to the feel of the weight of the draw. I think some are responding to the smoothness of the cycle. It can draw smooth but feel like a ton. The opposite could also be true.
Ididn't shoot either of these bows so I can't respond to them.
Yeah I see what you're saying here. I owned a Liberty when it was made by "bowtech" not "diamond". I know they're both the same but I owned it when it was a bowtech, whether or not it has any relevance on this topic is yet to be determined. Anyways Little Chief I know what you're saying and I'm sorry about the situation you encountered. That was unfortunate. I wish you had a better experience the first time with bowtech/diamond. To be honest I'd give 'em another try, just make sure the pro shop you deal with is cool. Thanks guys.
