Matt beat me to throwing up the pics while I was cooking a mess of crappie filets!! Don't think you're going to hear any complaining on my end...

Speaking of no complaining... Holy cow!! I think this is the first time I've pulled a bow out of the box, set it up and been "wowed" so quickly... The Diamond Marquis is really reminiscent of the single cam Patriot.The draw stacks SO nicely, building to a very smooth crescendo and peaking right before falling gently into the valley. It holds extremely stable at full draw, which is directly attributable to its long riser and very short parallel limbs which dip well beyond parallel at full draw.

The shot recoil is virtuallynon-existant,with the bow tipping gently forward afteroutfitting it with a6" Stealth in matching Hardwoods HD. Here's some more pics for your enjoyment...










Guess which bow will bewith me in my treestand tomorrow night? [:-]

Man I really have to consider one of those for next season.

Ok that did itI am going to check out Bowtech this coming off season. I am going to keep my Hoyt but I am also ready for a new bow. Thanks for killin my bank account.

I hope it shoots for me, assweet as it looks! If so, I am so getting a Marquis!!I've always been a single cam kind of guy!

Greg, it looks as if you have serving built up on the inside of your loop! Please explain! To stop the loop from moving, or pinching the knock?

I bought my Mathews 2 years ago and I have loved it so far. I shot both the Tribute and Allegiance before I bought a Switchback, and they just didn't feel quite right.

This offseason I almost went out and shot the new Gaurdians, but never got a chance. I have made up my mind though that this year I am definantly going to go out and throw the General up with the Drenalin if I decide to get a new toy.

Greg, I like your choice of sights for the new bow. I love my extreme sight. It has the brightest pins I have found. I think I could honestly hunt by moon light.

vikesfan, I wrote an instructional thread over the summer about how I tie my nocksets in as well as my D-loops... Unfortunately, threads like this don't always stay on the front page and slip into oblivion sometimes. I was asked one time to make some of my instructional threads "stickies" and maybe one of these days we can do something like that. In the meantime, I ran a search and found it for you: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2185934&mpage=1&key=instructiona l%2ctying%2cloop&#2185934

John, I'm a big fan of this site as well -- as evidenced that I own a black one, a Hardwoods HD one and I've got a Hardwoods Green set aside for my General.

Anyone know what I can expect to pay for one?

I think I may have to buy one...

disregard

We have had trouble out of the RT900 and 1000's this year. The fibers like pulling through the pins, some of the screws weren't threading, alot of our customers haven't been so pleased with the Extreme's
