I just picked up a new Diamond by Bow-Tech on Saturday. I haven't touched a bow in 10 years and I already am able to shoot it consistently up to 30 yards, before my weak muscles, not the bow, cause me to get a little wobblly. I have nothing but good things to say about Diamond and Bow-Tech line of bows. I orginally was planning on spending 500-700 on a bow alone withough sights, rests, etc. However my local dealer suggested the Diamond line and assurred me that they would shoot just as well as the more expensive model,s (I payed 389 for my Rapture). And although I cannot say that I can compare my Diamond to an $800 Hoyt or Matthews but I can say that my new Diamond is more than I could have asked for.

I guess my best suggestion would be why spend 3-400$ more for a bow when you can get one for that much less that shoots just as well as the other. Now I am sure that an expert archery, or proffessional shooter could tell a slight difference in the two. But if you are looking for an excellent hunting bow I would defiantly check out the Diamonds. Bottom line is all Manufacturers are now using the same new technology, and differences in performance/bow preference seem to be a matter of personal style and comfort.

The thing I like most about Bow-Tech bows is they have a lifetime warranty, and have bows that are both reasonably priced and extremely shootable.

Hope this helps.
