Getting started: Diamond Black Ice
I'm looking at getting back into archery after a long battle with shoulder and elbow issues. I've asked my bow hunting friends what is the best bang for your buck and a couple of them said the Diamond Black Ice would be a great place to start.
If you were starting over what would you buy?

Gotta go with the Ice. Have had one for two+ yrs and love it. I shoot about 20 arrows/day average and have no issues. Easy to tune and maintain. Lifetime warranty to original purchases, also.[8D] 0 -
I wouldnt shop for a specific "brand" but more-so be interested in wich one I shot the best with along with fit/comfort...Shoot as many as you can before you buy....I always bought Hoyt products...Until I tried a Mathews and switched...I still get teased from bud's, but what a major improvement in MY shooting!...My 2 cents...Good-luck, 0 -
I've got the same problem. I'm looking at the Diamond Razor Edge. It goes high enough on the poundage, and it's light enough for my new "odd" hand shooting. 0 -
try the monster[:D][:D][:D][:D]
if you have a bad shoulder and try to let this bow down It will finish it off.. if not the diamond black Ice mathews switchback xt is one of the easiest smoothist drawing bows. and Ive tried most bows out there. I like the monster cause its sick-o fast and powerful. very accurate like I said the draw is not bad but dont try to ler down ouch[:D][:p][:p]0 -
My shoulder is stronger now than it ever was. So I'm not too worried. The bow that I buy is going to be with me for a long time so I need to buy something nice but I can't afford a top of the line setup like the Monster. The whole setup must be done with elk hunting in mind. So I need to be in the 60-70 lb range. To complicate the issue it needs to be left handed. 0 -

I'm seriously considering this one.

Original was made by Ross, but I guess Bowtech bought them out. Let me know if you see anything negative. I haven't found anything yet.0 -

Talk to taco, he may have a great bow for you at a price you cant pass up IF he is willing to sell.
AND I'd suggest, like someone esle did, try some bows and see what you like, what draws the best for you, what feels right. I love My SBXT. I like a single cam, they feel smoother to me on the draw cycle. Just my opinion tho.0
