Compound Bows?
Dan S asked:
My dad recently told me that he would be getting a Diamond Black Ice, here is the link; http://www.diamondarchery.com/black_ice.php
When he told me that, it made me want to get a new bow. I've been told by my dad that I've been a natural when it comes to archery. The last compound bow I shot was a youth bow. I've also shot with a recurve. I've never archery hunted, but I would like to get into that. So my question is:
I'm looking for a new compound bow that could compare to the Black Ice. I don't care about brand names, because I really don't know any. So any ideas for a descent compound bow?
Thanks.

hoyt are always good, but if your looking for something less expensive to get started with i would get a PSE, thats what i started with and it worked out well.

There are many brands out there Mathews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear, and many more. New technology has some shooting really quick and flat. I shoot an older bear, and I am used to it, sure I would love to have one of the newer models Mathews or whatever, but I just can’t force $800.00 out of my wallet.
The Black Ice looks like a good bow, and it might be a little cheaper than the Mathews hottest bow.

try shooting a full sized compound bow before you buy one because if you are used to shooting recurves you may have problems with compounds. that’s my problem i all ways used recurves then i got a compound and could not shoot accurately with it so i still use my recurve. and i hear Browning bows are nice but i don’t know because to me they are all inaccurate.
hope this helps

It’s a Chevy, Ford, Dodge deal. They’re all good. The more expensive bows like Mathews, Hoyt and Bowtech will have better resale value. For initial value, however, I say go Pearson. Pearson builds bows like you would if you started from scratch sparing no expense. Check ‘em out!

The best advice I could give you is to go to your nearest archery pro shop and look at what’s available, handle some of the bows that you like the looks of, talk to the pro’s and get their advice and recommendations. A good archery pro shop would likely also have a range where you could try out different bows to see which one you like the best and that fits your hand and needs the best.
