black ice or mathews drenalin
i have been shooting an old PSE for a while now and iam looking to upgrade, i have done a lot of shooting and have narrowed my choice down to two, i cannot decide between the mathews drenalin and diamonds black ice, iam looking for smooth draw, quiet bow, but also with some speed, what do i do?

RE: black ice or mathews drenalin
I just made the same choice I also looked at the truth 2. I finally decided on a dxt from mathews because I have a mathews dealer in town that is also a bowteh dealer. He swears by the mathews customer service! I am not bashing the diamond/bowtech line, he has had trouble with the customer servicedept. though and has no reason to lie to me. That black ice was a dream to shoot though. the drenalin seemed a little quicker but what is 5-10 fps.Thats what I decided I got the dxt because it was small like the black ice and I hunt with along walk and wanted light and small.

you should shoot both and than decide. look at the bows together. there ruffly close is speedand weight. but the ice is a good bit cheaper. with the dxt out you should be able to find a good deal on the drenalin. i seen several used on ebay and at my local pro shop. people seem to think if something new comes out it must be better. good luck on your choice

RE: black ice or mathews drenalin
This is a good thread because my buddy that got me into bow hunting is a Matthews fan and has a Drenalin. I'm a Bowtech guy and just bought a Black Ice. They are both great bows, both are light and short A to A perfect for hunting, his is just about 10 fps faster but for my own personal preference I am going to go with the Black Ice.

Have you shot both?? How much? If you can't decide which feels best to you then it's going to be hard to tell you. They are both quality bows and are probably a few $$ apart in price. Go shoot them and try a Marquis out also!!
