2007 Black Ice.
Well, I bought a new Diamond Black Ice a few weeks ago. And I have to say it has been awsome so far.
I went to both the local bow shops and shot every singal bow I could put my hand on.The new Hoyts, Matthews, Martin, Bow tech etc. You get the picture.
I very quickly narrowed it down between the New Drenalin and the Black Ice. Both bows shot very well. And they both felt really good. I went with the black Ice strickly because of the pro shop. The customer service at the Matthews, Hoyt dealer was "Horrible" to say the least. So I went and visited Scott at Bulls Eye Archery in Custer, Mi. Great man to deal with.
After outfitting my new bow with all the goods. I really begun to tackle my new hunting partner. After shooting ruffly 200 arrows through it, I can honestly say "WOW". What a great product. I did not realize how quite this bow really is. I let a buddy shoot it as I watched.. Very Carefully! And man, very quite! I have shot the bow out to 40yds. And I am very pleased. It is shooting at 294 fps. @ 64lbs. I am shooting a heavy long arrow. Not sure of the actual weight. with 100 gr. Slick tricks.
I am extremly pleased with my new purchase. I hope to hunt many animals with it. And I reccommend anyone looking at a new bow to shoot the new Black Ice.
Good luck this year!

RE: 2007 Black Ice.
The Black Ice is my hunting bow of choice as well
I took off the string silencers and added a MeanV CSS, with my 494gr hunting arrow al you can hear is the thump of the arrow into the target.

RE: 2007 Black Ice.
The Black Ice caught my attention earlier this year. But I never got a chance to shoot one. How does it compare to the Tribute? I know they are not identical but seem to share a similar limb design and ATA, brace height and IBO seem very close to one another.

RE: 2007 Black Ice.
If you hold the Black Ice and the Tribute side by side, They are almost Identical. A few different cuts in the risers. I also shot the Tribute. It was most deffinately faster the the black ice. But no where near as smooth. I even shot both cam options out of the Tribute. Both bows are very nice. I appreciate a smooth bow over a wicked fast bow anyday! And the Black Ice is plenty fast.

RE: 2007 Black Ice.
Yeah, I imagine that Pinnacle cam is smoother than the binary cam system. I wonder how that Pinnacle cam feels compared to the Infinity cam on my Patriot. Hmmm, I may have to shoot one and find out.
