RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

i work in bowtech shop. and i dont like the pics my self. but i know most of the new line up would be split limd!

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

i was told the new line up was to be released on oct1

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

looks like the s.w.a.t replaced the allegiance? mite have to try one out!

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I think they look Awesome!!!

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I want to shoot the iceman. Single cam center pivot. I think that will be a very good hunting bow.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

What is the name of your local shop that is getting those in about 2-3 weeks? I am living in cheswick which is pretty close. I can't wait to shoot these

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

gotta admit, they all look good.

...but, eh, i've seen bigger

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

WOW, I just seen this thread..... Man, I love It!! 31" ata? Thatswhat Im talking about... \


ICEMAN looks AWESOME. I dont think they are ugly at all.I really dont know what to think. I know I wont have the money,so I guess i can just want in onehand and poop in the other...[&:]:DThe honeymoon might just be a $1000 cut short.:D

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

Knowing what I know about the new center pivot design and how quiet and recoil free this thing is combined with speeds in the 320's?...........I don't see how this one isn't going to be the single cam bow to beat for 2009.

Single cam fans are gonna freak out when they shoot it. Trust me, I just had my hands on one 2 weeks ago. The thing is sick.[:-]

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

Matt, it is the Iceman you're talking about right?

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

Yes he is.

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

I want a Sentinel.....now:D

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

I like the specs on the Iceman and the Admiral lots!!!!!!

Hopefully I can scrounge up the money next year to give these two a peek!!!

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

I was just discussing the idea with the fiance....[:o]of dropping $830..... who says I "have" to get married in August? J/K but it's gonna be hard not to go in debt for that, Im planning on selling my old 1969 Chevy pickup here in the near future.... I need to keep a little of the money(and buy a new bow)to ease the pain right?LOL I hate my addiction in correspondence to my income.

So Matt, Rob, whoever willing to talk, No modules? Thats pretty sweet, but you know the one of the first questions... Limbs, did they do something different? Can you say? Im just curious. When will they be in shops available to shoot?

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

I love my 2007 Guardian... but after seeing this lineup, I can't help but want to try out a couple of these bows. For some reason I am really liking the Iceman by Diamond.

Looks I might end up selling my old PSE to get some money towards another bow. I want to be like Greg and Matt... and have multiple options to take into the woods. ;)

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

What do you think? ;)

I saw some of the raw undipped blanks and they are epoxy coated and have something else going on with the limb back but I don't know the technical aspects of it just yet.
The limb tips are reinforced with a thick aluminum "U" shaped fitting over the top and sides of the limbs that is drilled through after fitting for precision and will add even more vertical strength to the limb ends.

The axle system is also a precision bolt through system with no e-clips or need for spacers or washers like every conventional axle system on the market.....which will quiet the ends down and further reduce lateral instability while improving the overall tolerances.
Its a really slick set up.

The limb bolts are also incredibly long and will allow you to completely relax and work on the bow without the need for a bow press.........I cannot stress enough that this design is easily the hardest bow to press correctly even with the limb improvements, older improper style presses can hammer this style bow.
I doubt I will ever put my new center pivots in a press, its too easy to do it wrong.

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

Matt/Pa....whatare the weights like? any lighter than the 08's(guardian/general)? don't have to be numbers, just what you felt.

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

The Admiral's mass weight is down from the Generals.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

The Iceman andStud look nice but it looks like I will just stick with my Black Ice. Heck, I just bought it in February of this year, lol.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I will be honest. I feel much the same. I love my 2008 Black Ice. I even added a nice little string suppressor to the bottom of it much like the 2009 model is now equipped. The bow is incredible to shoot. I greatly look forward to comparing the Ice Man to it. The Ice Man is going to have to be one heck of a bow to make me want to give up the Black Ice.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I have my eye on the Sentinel. Looks and sounds pretty sharp. Can't wait to hear all the details. Is it me or have the prices went up on bare bows from last year?

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

My parents wont be too happy when I tell them i want a new bow, but, I still need a back up bow, and a target bow I might be in luck. Oh wait. I want to buy a car within (hopefully) the next six months.[&o] What shall I do?

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Same here. My BI is shooting great but I think I have a man crush on the Iceman. If I didn't purchase the BI 6 months ago, there would probably be an Iceman in my near future.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I must admit it. I have a "man crush" on the IM too. ;)...and I haven't even met him yet.

:D

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Ditto Frank.:)

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

So pretty much, The Diamond Iceman is sweeping the hearts of the HNI forums, and 90% havent even seen one in person. :DIm in love....

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I am setting a date with the Iceman.....Right around February. Rob, we will make our own TV series, "Two Icemen and a Turkey Blind";)

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

I am shooting for a double date with the Iceman and the Admiral. I am guessing late October for the get together.

;)

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Our buddy Pat (Bowtech_Shooter) has officially killed the first Mule Deer in the country with a Bowtech Admiral this AM.
Must be nice. :D

Got a call a little while ago. Congrats Pat!
Pretty long shot from what I understand but never fear, you don't want that guy shooting at you at ANY range. [:-]

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

That's fantastic, I wonder if he'll show pictures prior to Oct 1st. ;) [8D]

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

That's pretty cool. I wouldn't have minded just taking a mule deer today (as opposed to being stuck at work) let alone being able to do it with a bow that has not even hit retailers yet[8D]

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Way to go Pat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Where's Pat? Tell him we need pictures!:D

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

No thanks. Had a General that was sent back twice, once before the recall and once after and had too many issues. I purchased a quiver online right before I returned the bow and I have called Bowtech 11 times to see how I can return it but nobody has ever answered the phone. My emails do not get answered either. The retailer that I bought the bow from gave me story after story of the same thing.I was very close to buying a tomcat for my son but one thing that Bowtech needs to realize is that with the parity in high end bows, for most people, service is the selling point. It appears that all of their efforts go into technology and next to nothing into building an infrastructure that will be able to take them deep into the future. Unless they figure this out soon, they will fall as quickly as they rose.

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

HAHA. That's funny because A LOT of people seem VERY happy with Bowtech's customer service. Weird.[&:]lol

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Congratulations Pat. I am very glad to hear of your success.

What, no email with pics?

:(

I plan on putting a whitetail doe down next week with the Admiral.

Yeah, I know...wishful thinking.

:D

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

They can come out with a thousand more models, they still will never beat Mathews. Isn't there a model for 2009 called the "CRACKED LIMB"? oh wait that was a 2008 model

Mathews............ "CATCH US IF YOU CAN"

RE: New Bowtech's and Diamond's
 

Do you have superiority complex problems? :D You are arguing over inanimate objects that only shoot as well as the guy behind the string....

If anything needs beat, itwould bea little common sense into your skull ;)

Define beat for me in the context that you used it in.... Recoil, noise, speed, etc, etc???

RE: New Bowtech and Diamond Pics!
 

Did they think them out enough to offer extended draw lengths??? Say a 32in draw perhaps? I sure hope so because they look sweet!
