Diamond Bows
 

Are there any Diamond bow users out there, and if so how is the product?

RE: Diamond Bows
 

There are several here on this sight. I am one. I shoot an '05 Diamond Victory. This is a smooth, quiet, fast bow. There is no noticable hand shock and itsjust a great bow. $ for $ it has to be one of the best buys in bowhunting. I would buy another without hesitation and am giving the new Black Ice some serious thought. I look forward to shooting one. I'll be getting a bunch of OT after Christmas and I may have to buy a new one!

I have had 2 Diamonds in the last 2 years and have the Black Ice on order for my hunting bow next year.

I just gave away my Victory to a young kid in PA who bow hunts with a recurve and his family could not afford to buy him a compound.

Diamonds are probably one of the most under rated bows on the market they could ask a lot more for them and get it no problems.

You wont be dissapointed with any of the Diamond line up.

i hear good things about the diamonds never a bad thing at all. i will be looking at the allegiance, guardian, and the black ice when i get my new bow. btw that was nice of you to just give away your bow like that to help a fellow hunter.

if it goes out the back door of the bowtech factory,it must be a great bow,it will be interesting to see if they bring up some faster bows with the diamond name
(I have`nt read on the new ones yet so they may already have) bowtech/diamond catch us if you can

Maybe an expection, But I have seen a Diamond Raptor that was only a few weeks old, blow up when one of the limbs snapped. I have also spoke with a pro-shop and they have seen some of the limbs having cosmetic damage with some of the outter layers slivering off. I have no issues with any bow manufacturer, as I think any reputable company make good bows and it really should not be about who makes it, but how it feels and shoots to the person using it. And when a company is growing as fast as Bow-tech and Diamond and producing as many as bows as they are, there are bound to be some minor issue's. But this is all I have heard of. I have heard a lot of great reviews, but just wanted to pass along a couple of the issue's I have heard of. Good Luck

I just got a Diamond Victory about a month or so ago. I absolutly love this bow. For some reason, it seems like i can shoot this bow much better than any other bow I have owned. I dare not shoot more than 1 arrow at the same target at 20 yds. I get extremly tight groups. This bow is really quite, fast, light, and almost no handshock.

Speaking of quiet, I hear the arrows buzzing through the air. I never had a bow that quiet before.

About the limbs;

The guy that set up my bow said that you have to be very careful putting these bows on a bow press. You can't just do them like older bows. something about the parelelle (sp) limb design.It tookhim several minutes just to getit situated right in the press. I have a feeling this may be why limbs are breaking.

The diamond bows are a really great bow! They are smooth, fast and forgiving! What else do you want?

RE: Diamond Bows
 

best bows for the money by far

Hey thanks guys! The input is great.

RE: Diamond Bows
 

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.

RE: Diamond Bows
 

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?

RE: Diamond Bows
 

I shoot a Diamond, Its fast and really quiet

RE: Diamond Bows
 

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.

RE: Diamond Bows
 

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.
