I have shot the Black Ice for 3 seasons now, and have yet to draw a bow that is smoother and feels as good in my hand. Everytime I think I want more speed I draw a new bow at 60 lbs and it feels tougher to draw than my Ice at 70lbs. It does pretty good for speed anyway since it's 30" DL. It's been hard for me to find a better bow for my taste.
