Diamond Bows??
 

Does anyone have any experience with Diamond Bows? I currently shoot a Mathews, but will be shopping for a new one after the 1st of the year. I have tries other bows( martin, bowtech, pse, etc.) but I haven't shot or heard a lot about Diamond. Any info would be appreciated.

I bought a Diamond Machete earlier this month and I absolutely love it. It has a much smoother draw than a Matthews and the grip has a lot better feel. It's very fast and has a 7-plus brace height despite its 32-inch axle-axle length. I think that you would be very pleased with a Diamond, and besides, they're made in Shreveport.

How are they on their prices? Do they run about the same as Mathews or what?

RE: Diamond Bows??
 

They seem to run very comparable to Matthews. The shop that I bought mine sells Matthews in the $570 range and Diamonds in the $530-570 range, depending on the model.

Hows the vibration? Does it shoot smooth? Thanks for the info.

RE: Diamond Bows??
 

It shoots very smooth with little vibration. I do have a Doinker stabilizer installed, but even when I first shot it at the archery shop (barebow) it didn't seem to have much vibration.

I've been shooting a Diamond Hornet for the past 3 years. Absolutely love it. The only reason I'm considering a new bow currently is that it appears I can get the same performance with a smoother draw. Although I'm checking out several manufacturers, I'm still interested in seeing what Diamond comes out with for '04.

They are very high quality, well built bows at a reasonable price point. Highly underrated, most probably due to their lack of advertising.

Try one out, if you like it, you can't go wrong. All top-end components put together to make a fast, quiet shooting bow. Their limb pocket tolerance are way above average. Cam alignment is also excellent. Their only area of concern is draw length (like most manufacturers). They are typically longer then stated on the bow, so measure the one you buy. The draw length modules are easily interchanged, so make sure the dealer gives you the one that fits your drawlength.
