New Bow
Picked up a Diamond Liberty today.
Has all the required equipment on it already.
9 out of 10 in a 9 inch group at 25 yards.
Not bad for an old rookie. :whistling:


I gotta say that it wasn't that easy with my old bow...This bow ROCKS! ::dancinred::

Re: New Bow
Just in the bow department.
Heck a couple years ago I asked my wife if she wanted a Diamonds or a ATV for her birthday and she chose the ATV saying diamonds are for people with rocks in their heads.
And "It would be darn hard to ride a diamond around the lake".  I really love this gal-o-mine.

Re: New Bow
Those are really nice bows.  You can look it up as well as every other bow out there at this site:

http://www.huntersfriend.com/2007-Bow-Reviews/bow-specifications-charts-main.htm

It will show IBO speeds, max kinetic energy, draw weights...tons of info.  They also have a "forgivness rating."  Yours comes in at 81 meaning its pretty easy to shoot.  The lowest is a tie at 64 between the APA Black Mamba I (353 fps) and the Mathews Black Max II (330 fps).  The highest forgivness rating is 112 for the Hoyt Montega Wheel but it only shoots at 270 fps unlike the othe 2 speed deamonds.

Enjoy your diamond -- in the rough.   ;D

Re: New Bow
I noticed the more fps the lower the forgiveness rating and the more $$$.
Mine is good at 310 fps.

Re: New Bow
That is one slick lookin bow.  Hence the name right?  ;D

What are the dealy bobbers called to stop the string from vibrating/moving forward??  I've seen em but not real familiar with em.

So how are your groupings.??

I would imagine they are called "string stops".
But now that you have my interest up I will check out the proper name for them...On Monday.

My groopings at 25 yards are all nice...9 out of 10 in a nine inch area.
Not bad for the first time with a new bow. In time it will get better.
Smooth and deadly accurate...SWEET.
