i have not bought a bow yet, but will be purchasing within the next month and would like to know what the best bow would be, i have about 800-1000 dollar range, i have been looking at the bowtech admiral and the diamond iceman, views and opinions and new ideas appreciated

anyone have input

I havnt shot an iceman but I have a Diamond Stud. Its my first bow and I like it alot.

I would go with a mathew's pulls great i shot a DXT and it was great the reisen is a little jerky on the pull but that could be cuz it was on the shelf. I think with any bow as long as your comfortable with it is a great choice

I really don't think anyone can tell you what you will like. You should shoot as many different bows as you can and then decide for yourself. Your price range should get you into all but the very top dollar stuff. But YOU have to DECIDE what YOU like. Sites, rests, quiver, stabilizer, sure now you can get every one's opinion.

Matthews are very popular and rightly so. I personally shoot a Hoyt. Just recently pulled back a few PSE, but resisted the urge to launch anything. I like the Bowtecs too. There's a lots of less expensive bows that are pretty great value. Mark my word, you can drop a sack of Jack ($$$) and next year they're gonna be faster,smoother, lighter, ...etc.

Good Luck!

x2 Only you know what you like.

x3 Absolutely. Only you can tell what feels right to you. Shoot a bunch and pick what feels best. Generally speaking, try to stick to a 7" + brace height, don't get a bow that is to heavy. A 60# bow will kill as well as a 70# one and you won't get as tired when practicing or have issues pulling it back when sitting on stand on a cold day. Good Luck!
