I have had the opportunity to test out the Black Ice and you can read all about it in my review: http://www.huntingnet.com/articles/articles.aspx?articles_id=517

Diamond is a great bow company that doesn't get near enough recognition that they deserve.

i own a diamond rapture and about to have my limbs replaced for the second time. it blew up the first time and recently found that the bottom limb is splintering/cracking. not bad for a 2005 ehhh?

I shoot a Diamond, Its fast and really quiet

I don't think you will be disappointed in Diamond.

I own a 2004 pre-Bowtech Diamond Gladiator, 328 IBO, 7" brace, 34 ATA. with two "no-press" swap-out modules for EZ Draw and Speed. (this is where Bowtech adopted the draw curve module idea from when they bought out Diamond). These were great bows before Bowtech bought them, and they are still one of the best bows for the money on the market.

I bought a Black Ice a month ago and I am still waiting for the modules to adjust the draw lenth to 28.5. I have no idea what the heck is taking so long but it's bummin me out. I shot the Switchback XT , Drenalin, Tribute and a few others before I made up my mind. I think the Black Ice is not only the "Best" hunting bow out there, but at a pretty good price too. If your lookin for a new hunting bow, make SURE you try the Black Ice!

06 Victory 60# bow. The birth certif says 296 @29 draw.
Minimal vibration, zero hand shock (jump) and more quiet than I had hoped for.
Added an STS, bojax silencers- 390 grain arrows at 258 (28"draw) @29 they were 269fps- had to go shorter draw, what a kick in the pants in the fps dept.
Start looking for 06 deals as the 07's are about to be everywhere.
