I don' t think anyone is building Bowtech' s risers for them,they are doing everything IN HOUSE.They just built a new building and are producing everything themselves,exept strings and cable' s.

Follow the link below to Diamond Archery' s online catalog, go to page 2, and tell me what it says in the lower right corner of that page:

Here' s a hint: " Cam Technology Licensed by Bowtech"
So basically, if Diamond is indeed manufacturing their own cams, it' s simply because they bought and copied Bowtech' s cam design. I think I might have seen where up until now Bowtech has outsourced their machining (which will no longer be the case soon), and it might be the case that the folks at Diamond do the machining work for them...especially given that Diamond is in Shreveport, very close to where Bowtech used to be in Bossier City. Regardless, the fact remains that Diamond bows use Bowtech cams...even if they do make them for themselves. So, I guess " technically" Diamond may " make" (manufacture) cams for Bowtech, but make no mistake about it...Bowtech, Diamond, and Parker all use BOWTECH cams.
Diamond may make Bowtech' s cams, but they still buy the rights to use their cams from Bowtech.

At that poundage and draw length I would be led to believe that you are still growing,if that is true then you need to buy a bow that will grow with you and the best choice would be Hoyt.Their cams have the best range for draw length of the manufactuers mentionend.

Oh yeah,I would like that statement to be proven myself.Legacy is a good bow but to say it outsells all other bows combinend would be a birt rediculous.
I personally have shot them and can' t see why people think they are a smooth bow.They have a really harsh draw cycle.They do shoot smooth but they do not draw smooth.

Oops! Guess I should restate that. Mathews sells more Legacy bows than all the rest combined....of other Mathews bows. In other words, its the most Popular Mathews bow.[]
