Diamond bows?
Looking into maybe purchasing Diamond. Thinking maybe the Justice. Any thoughts on these? I have been shooting my Martin for 5 yrs now so I have been kind of out of the game as far as prices. How much do these run?

[ul][*]Black Ice[*][*]Axle-To-Axle - 32"[*]IBO Speed - 310-318 fps[*]Brace Height - 7 1/2”[*]Kinetic Energy - 78.61[*]Draw Length - 26"-30"[*]Draw Weights - 50, 60, 70[*]Adjustable Let-Off - 65-80%[/ul]
Justice
[ul][*]Axle-To-Axle - 32 3/16[*]IBO Speed - 303-311 fps[*]Brace Height - 7"[/ul] [/align] [ul][*]Kinetic Energy 75.19[*]Draw Length - 26-31[*]Draw Weights - 50, 60, 70[*]Adjustable Let-Off 65-80%[/ul]What about the Black Ice over the Justice, you gain 10 plus fps, a half inch of brace height and more KE in virtually the same bow ATA. ? The only downfall is if your over a 30" draw length.
Great bows, both of them.

RE: Diamond bows?
I had a Black Ice. Loved the bow but,it was slower than the switchback I had. The bow itself was great to shoot. Absolutely no vibration or hand shock and qiuet as a church mouse. Dead accurate. I shot 28 in./71 lbs.w/ a 400gr arrow and only got 264 fps. It was in spec and tuned exactly.
If speed isn't important to you ( you'll get many opinions on here about this , let's not turn this into a speed thread) get one.
If you want something a little faster, go to the Marquix.

I will take acuracy over speed. Pretty sure I have a 29 in draw. Strength wont be an issue. I will check into the Black Ice. Thanks for all the information. What would the price of a Black Ice be?

Agreed, but the Black Ice has a longer brace height, relative to "better" accuracy and more speed. Win/win.
