Great posts, keep em coming as I'm VERY interested in that MArquis. I kick myself for having parted with my Patriot SC.

Just off the top of my head the Marquis feels noticeably faster. I am going to put it through the chrono to verify it. It is definitely quieter than any of the previous Diamond offerings including the Black Ice and that is saying alot because the noise level on my Black Ice is pretty low. Vibration levels are about the same with recoil being just a bit better on the Marquis.

More on these bows to follow...

Maybe its cause everyone already knows....But doesn't anyone care what the prices on these things are going to be? Or am I just a tightwad?

yes u are!! Kidding. I want to know the price also.

$749.99 locally

Heavier and slower than the Guardian (10fps)
but...
Quieter, shorter, smoother draw, more forgiving(brace), and better clearance...

hmmmmm,what to do whatto do.

....and around $699 for the Marquis.

Ouch!
Yea those kind of numbers give me the willies.

The general looks like my new bow sometime this march It even looks better than the guardian.

I didn't see your thread Frank, great looking bows. I look forward to handling them and shooting them when Matt / PA comes up this weekend. I know I'm going to love that General because I've shot Matt's Guardian this past spring and I was in AWE. And I thought I loved my Allegiance.

My Marquis should be here next week, I am very excited to shoot it, and do my write up on it!
