My old but reliable and accurate shooting 2007 diamond black ice has a cracked limb. I noticed it developed a buzz and it needed a string due to the many shots over the past year. Took it in to the pro shop and the found the top limb was cracked. Glad this didn't happen a few weeks from now as Africa is only 35 days out. I have another bow but that is being set up with a heavy arrow for Giraffe. I think I'll retire the diamond although it has done well for me in both Pennsylvania and in South Africa!
I need a main bow that I will use for regular plains game this year, whitetails and some targets and fun 3D shoots. I'm going to start shooting new ones tomorrow and will decide within a week as I want a month to get comfortable. I promised myself that I would shoot 4-6 bows and pick the one that fits me best. Forget about the brand name and marketing. I'll be trying the new Elites, Hoyt, Bowtech, Prime, Mathews and whatever else they have at the local pro shop. Most of my bow friends are brand loyal, but I'm coming in with a clean slate. Looking for a good balance of performance and shootability. Doesn't have to be a flamethrower but I don't want a dog either. I plan on keeping for a decade, so I want to choose wisely.
Let me know what you shoot/like.
