just looked at the bladerunner iso force. anybody shoot this thing? looks like too much could go wrong with that bow.....

I just invested about $500.00 in a Diamond Triumph (that was my budget). If I could afford more I would have spent it. I'm 46 y/o and this is my first new bow!!! I've been using a used XI Flatliner for the past 5 years or so and washappy until I shot with a friend of mine that bought a new bow...HUGE DIFFERENCE. I've been told XI went out of business in 1991 so this bow was at least 16 y/o.I cannot believe the difference in speed and how quite the new bows are. Get a new one, spend the moneyand enjoy!

a freind of mine has 7 bows and he just also bought a Diamond Triumph.
very nice bow for the money.

He and i were at the house tossin some arrows and he was so offended by me shooting my old PSE polaris. That he gave me his Martin ProwleR-se to use this hunting season (he used it the last 2 seasons). His words were "your a good shot why dont you get rid of that peice of crap...come here and take a look at this...You dont have to buy it just use it" The draw length is an inch too long for me but i shot a few arrows with it and can tell its twice the machine my PSE is...quieter.. faster.. less hand shockthis is a great bow for the $379 new tag back in 2003-4... Ill probly end up buying it... It feels that much better to shoot...hand shock is almost non existent. A great shooter for 33ata but, Iwonder whymartin discontinued this bow. or is it desguised under a different name?.. well ill be goin to the Bow shop on monday for a setup and probly be shooting with it every day till season starts.

How many guys out there are shooting compounds that are 7-12 years old?

Old Darton Trail Master ..at least 25 years old. Still shoots decent groups at 30 yds so I'll keep her.

I have a hoyt trykon, an older mcpherson sololite and a hoyt hunt master recurve. The mcpherson has been old faithful for a number of years and the recurve isn't exactly modern either but the trykon has the flatter trajectory that i crave with compounds. The trykon is not my favourite as i have taken more animals with the other older bows and those memories mean so much. However i do find that with the newer bow i can shoot better groups consistantly but i would just like to say to just use what works for you best and don't worry about the age or performance of the bow.

I shoot a PSE polaris express and its no piece of crap it's a mid 90's model and I can shoot it just as good as any new bow not as fast mind you or as quiet but I love it. I shoot it with fingers and it has never failed me over the 11 years and has taken alot of game from deer to rabbits etc. I feel no need to spend $1000 dollars on a bow. But to each there own. When this bow dies it will be missed and I will probably bit the bullet and buy a reflex caribou(good for finger shooter). I have to admit In the last two years I got suck into the need a new bow fever and bought a new martin jag and a new reflex girzzly, sold them both within a few months and went back to my good old PSE polaris express.

I shoot a Jennings Carbon Extreme. It must be around 15 years old. I bought it from my Dad a few year ago. He actually got it from the the owner of Cobra. It was his own personal bow and has killed many animals from deer to exotics. This bow still shoots great. I am thinking of getting a new one though as I want to preserve this one and keep it in the family.

mines the express also bought it new when it came out 11-12yearsago. My only big gripe is the hard plastic grip(I develop a wrist torque problem if i dont shoot it 2-3 times a week...not really bad but enough to irritate me...id say 1 out of 5 shots are bad if i dont stay sharp), i like the bow other than that...it draws real smoooooth,& ive shot it enough that ivegottenused to the way it shoots and i shoot it well.

but if A guy that buys a new bow every year were to pick my bow up and shoot it...he would probably throw it in the trash 5 minutes later.

I guess what im trying to say is that when your used to something...you dont really notice how bad it really might be... Ive fought the temptations to buy a new bow for a long time my friend...so once i jump off that cliff im not coming backAll i know is that martin prowler is wayy smoother shootin
