Just bought Diamond Rapture
$360 for this bow and its just simply amazing, absolutely the least shock of any bow i have fired and you cant get a better back wall. easy adjusments to draw and let off and plenty fast. shot about 150 shots with it friday night and it dead accurate until i started to get tired. if you considering a new bow for more money check this out first. i went to gander mountain and fired every bow they had and this was my favorite. the Dartons are awsome too but for the extra 200$ 10fps isnt worth it to me.

RE: Just bought Diamond Rapture
Congrats, glad you were able to try out all different bows and based your selection on personal taste.
Now it sounds like you are going to have a wonderful "shooting" season (as I like to call it, since there is no off season in my book), getting accustomed to the beautiful world of shooting a new bow.
Nothing is sweeter in my book than archery shooting.

Congrats on the new bow.
I picked up a Diamond Victory have not shot it yet due to work commitments[:@]but she is gonna get a good work out tomorrow
I have a sweet tooth so for me there is nothing sweeter than a chocolate pound cake
but archery is a close second

Good choice. The Diamond bow line is very nice and I had a hard time
deciding between the Diamond Liberty and the Mathews Switchback, this
time I went with the Switchback but next time it might be a Diamond bow.

Good for you! I am very pleased with my Diamond bow. Also factory support for all my questions and few needs has been great, good luck and good shooting. BTW, did you say 150shots in 1 day? man my arm would fall off! I practice often but never more than 40-50 shots a day.

RE: Just bought Diamond Rapture
yeah ive been shooting at least one hundred a day for 8 weeks now (techno hunt league and then techno hunt for fun witht he recurve, plus warm up and target shooting with both bows.) shooting the recurve has made my bow arms very strong and enduring.
my friend who shoots with me but not as much is a really big guy ( 6'1" 220 , ripped) and he gets tired way before me, he was a little embarresed to tell me he couldnt shoot anymore. we both have 70lb pull with 80%let off. i really think shooting alot all year has greatly improved my shooting and the recurve is the most fun ive had since i was 6 and started shooting.
