They are a really nice bow. I have one but I think I am going to sell it ( have a Guardian also). It's quiet and has very little hand shock. In my opinion it is the best single cam on the market.I would suggest to go shoot one yourself and find out.

They are a real nice bow, but whether it is the bow for you is something you just have to try and find out. The looks of a bow have absolutely nothing to do with how that bow will perform in your hands. If you can't find one to take out for an extended test drive, you might consider keeping an eye on e-bay or the Archery Talk classifieds - should be able to get one of these bows for $400 or less. And then, if you don't like it, put it back up for sale for close to the same priceit was purchased.

Have you given any thought to the Bowtech Equalizer? If you have a 25 or 26 inch draw length, this bow is built from the ground up to give maximum performance and efficiency at the shorter draw lengths.

I have one and like it very much. I shot a Mathews DXT the other day and really didn't feel that bow was any smoother. The Black Ice is a great bow, there are faster bows out there but I like the Black Ice right now.

I like mine. It is not a speed deamon but it shoots consistantly out to 40 yards. The going price for a new Black Ice is actually $649. The Marquis is the one that goes for $699. I would agree with the equalizer for you, JMO!

I don't know if they have any left, but I picked up an '07 Ice (with '08 limbs) from Mountain Archery for $450... It is a joy to shoot.
