Hi, im new here, but not to bows or bowhunting, i dont mean to hi-jack this thread but i felt my question didnt warrant a new post. I too am looking for a new bow, The General is top of the list, but im also considering the DiamondMarquis and Black Ice. Now i know that the General would be the best shooting bow of the three but i can get a bare, Black Ice for $459 dollars, so with every thing else it should go for around 700 fully outfitted. Would probably save around 300-400 bucks from buying the General, is the General worth that much more????? My current bow is a Bear TRX so any of the newer bows would be a big improvement, Thanks for your answers....
