I am looking at purchasing one of these and wanted to get some thoughts from you about this bow. Negative or Posittive experience.

Thanks

Old/New

Good bow. Shoots nice. The pro at the local bow shop uses one and loves it. He could have his pick of any bow, obviously.

I wouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. Go in a shoot all the bows and make your choice. If you are going to spend the 600.00 on the Diamond I would at least shoot the Bowtech Guardian, Hoyt Katera and see what works best for you b/c the you'll find they are work the extra 100.00.

Centaur 1

I LOVE mine.

Cons:
It's not super fast. Mine is the 2006 model, a newer one will be 10 fps faster. Mines a 60-70# bow set at 63# and I get 248 fps with a 385 grain arrow which is still plenty fast enough.
Can't use a rear mounted STS.

Pros:
IMO, the smoothest cams that I have ever shot. I'm 47 years old and my shoulders aren't getting any younger.
Short and lightweight, great for hunting.
Good brace height, very forgiving bow.
Affordable.

I might have opted for the Black Ice but I couldn't afford the $250 price difference. I've never regretted my decision, this is a great bow.

Thanks for the input, anyone else have opinions?

I've got an 07, that's really shoots good. Like someone said it's a tad on the slow side, but not too bad for a single cam. I'm getting 270 out of mine at 70lbs at 28" draw. If you are interested in a used one, my g/f friend bought me a new dream season so mines just collecting dust.

I think there is a pretty good deal on them on huntersfriend.com, if you have decided on getting it. Good luck and have fun.
