The Iceman and the Stud look ok but other then that, eh.. And why would you name a bow "Stud"? I know it goes with the Diamond theme but sounds sorta, well you know. I am not really excited by any of them this year which in a way is good news because I will not lust after any of them and be happy with my Black Ice for at least another year. 
I can see what Bowtech is doing though. They are trying to differentiate and reach a broader market at the same time. Smart, but could be a gamble.

I think all of the new bows look nice, but nothing stands out enough for me to drop any $$ yet. Nobody has been able to come out with a silky smooth drawing bow with a plus 7" brace height in the 330-340 IBO range yet. The company that figures that one out will have a winner on their hands.
It seems right now that everyone has plateaued a bit with innovation. Bowtech is doing a great job of improving on an already great design, but nothing really "new." If you have a Guardian and don't have to get a new bow you're really not missing out on much.
That is, unless some of the features that Matt spoke of that aren't visible in the pic are really something else. But we will have to wait in anticipation for those details.

Im really hoping on......anything really. I am still shooting a bear that my brother gave me a year ago that his dad gave to him 9 years ago....It is lacking a little but gets the job done. But I am still a college student which means....Cheapest of the above please.
