For some reason....i think mostly the draw....i love the marquis.....but i also really like the black ice....i would prolly get the marquis....only because for some reason i didnt really care for the general....its hard to explain why but i just never enjoyed shooting it as much as the other 2....

Guys, I need to make a decision...

I've narrowed my choices down to;

Diamond Black Ice
Diamond Marquis
Bowtech General

I've shot them all probably 150+ times and I honestly can't make up my mind. I feel like I could pick any one of the three and I would be more than happy. I enjoy shooting them all and can't say I prefer one over the other.

The check for my Hoyt came today so its being shipped out tomorrow. I have a 3D shoot to go to for the store on the 27th. I have 16 days to not only order my bow, but get it tuned and sighted in. I'm cutting it close.

Out of the three, which would you choose and why? What about one particular model draws you to it over the others? (I'll be shooting at 70#)As I mentioned, I've shot them all and enjoy each of them. I haven't been this stumped since my last Algebra class. [&:]
Personally I just bought the Martin Firecat and oh my God it is faster Cameron Hanes on a tredmil!!!!
Actually I'm on martin shop shooter and love the Firecat, but the best bow i've shot all year is the new limbsaver!!!
Huh, that's odd, I didn't see the Martin Firecat as a an option.

Dan I shot all three and picked the Marquis. I liked how smooth the draw cycle was and being 6'2" I like the longer ATA.

Dan:

I'd go with some of the others and tx's advice.....ONLY (and yes...I've shot all 3) because of the draw @ 70#'s.

If you were gonna hunt and shoot 3D at 62-65#'s....I'd probably go with the general. Aaron made a good point about resale value...but honestly...you'd know more about that than I would.

You don't have a bad one in the bunch......but you knew that, too.

Congrats.
