Just picked this bow up today. And it's the best!! Just kidding. I am hoping it will be though. I have been shooting a Diamond Infinite Edge for the last couple years. While it's not a bad bow it does leave some things to be desired.
So the other day I walked into the pro shop and saw some Demo models on sale...I picked up a kitted out Diamond Deploy SB and was blown away by the lack of weight. It's Bowtech's carbon riser and in comparison to what I was shooting it's significantly lighter. I went home not wanting to spend the money. About 30% off new. Plus this was not the R.A.K. kit either, it came with a great upgraded sight, stabilizer and silencers.
I went back today and test fired it. Holy cow! What difference. The draw stop gives it a defined back wall which I really like compared to my infinite edge. No hand shock that I noticed and the 80% let off really is great. I was able to hold full draw for 1 minute and still make good shot.
So first impressions I like this bow a lot. It's not a flagship bow I know that. But it has some great features that make it a marked improvement over the edge series bows.
So lesson learned buy a good bow at the start. I would have preferred to start with a bow like this than to upgrade 2 years in.
As I get more time with it I will update this post with my findings. Hopefully I'll be successful with it this year.
