I shoot a Diamond Black Ice for 3 years now. I think it is a good solid performer but probably not the "Best" bow out there. There are faster bows but few smoother. For me it is very good because I am used to it and I know how it performs at various ranges. I try not to get caught up spending too much money on equipment. I would rather focus my attention on practice and obtaining "Low Pressure" property to hunt. Every year properties change and I need to have a good sound backup plan in place to produce the results I want.
