I have to agree with Mike L. But the most appealing thing was the price; the bow was $679.99 with everything. I bought some Red Head Carbon Fury's and it shoots like a dream. When I shot the Stud, it fit me. The Black Ice, does however have a somewhat smoother draw, but the stud is just the bow for me. In all reality, you should go shoot ALL the bows in your price range. I all of the bows in the Diamond line-up, I shot a few bears and even the Mathews Z7 which is insanely nice, but it just didn't fit in my hand right. But no doubt, give the stud a good look.
