The Diamond Stud is super easy to adjust draw length (comes with instructions), it has the rotating module. You will need a set of allen wreches to change it. A string supressor stops the string and keeps it quiet. The finish is really nice too, Diamond has a finish called "In Velvet" this year.

Hmm the diamond stud was one of the ones i was looking at on that site that guy posted huntersfriend. But i guess i still don't know my draw weight, do you need a bow press to change the draw weight?

You don't need a bowpress...just a set of allen wrenches. But, you need to be sure that both limbs are set equally. Peak weight will give you the best performance, but you may want to shoot it at a lighter #age. One easy way to do this is to turn them up to peak weight and then crank each limb down equally, that way you know they are set equally. But why am I giving advice...I am not a veteran bowhunter...just a newb myself.

Browning Usually 4" of draw Addjustment with no bow press needed !
They will run 27" - 30" in 1/2" incraments so you are actually getting 8 differant addjustments All you need is a allen wrench !
But this is JMO
I have the Mirage and love it killed 3 deer last year with it , it is a 2007 modle bought it off Ebay Brand new in Box $300 bought it last year 2008

Just because the 60-70 is most popular means nothing.It is what can you comfortably pull when it is cold outside.You can get it done with much less than 70.I hunted last year at 53#'s because of a bad shoulder and killed a great buck.I am back up to my normal 58# this year.
My daughter will be using 36#'s and my son will be using 40#'s.
