Diamonds are nice. If you wanted to go cheaper. I shoot a Martin and it is really nice for as cheap as you can get them. Then you could save that money because, arrows, broadheads, bow setup, will all come next and that can get pricey too. Also I would say look at the classifieds forum on here in the archery section. You can get a great deal on some Bowtechs, Mathews, PSE's, or Hoyt's which are all great bows.
