    The Diamond was the first I looked into. The wife wanted the Mission as did the kid, so that's what we ended up going with. The wife has since got a Jewel.

    The Diamonds did look good and I see lots of happy people with them. Your Black one looks awesome.

    My wife shoots a Mission Craze and really likes it. Great bow for the adjustability.

    I think mission makes really good bows. I'm only 14 but I'm shooting my Eliminator at 73 pounds. It is very smooth, pretty fast, and incredibly accurate. I think the Balistic is nice too.

    I picked up my new black Ballistic at The Archery Shop yesterday. I had a new black HHA Brushfire single pin. 019" sight, a new black 6" Stokerizer stabilizer and my QAD HDX sight installed on the bow. It's a great shooting bow! I'll post some pics soon.

    I've got a Craze and it's alright. I haven't shot any other bows so can't compare it to anything. I really want a Chill though. Might shoot one next time I'm at the shop.

    Before you buy a Chill, make sure you also shoot a Ballistic.

    limb pockets are made of polymer same stuff they are using on guns like tynimiller said. everyone thinks they are plastic and are worried they will break, they are strong and have never heard of one breaking or cracking. this stuff is strong

    i love mine. the only thing is i dont like the grip on my ballistic and no one makes a aftermarket grip on it. THE FOCUS GRIP DOES NOT FIT ON A BALLISTIC!

    Is the rubber grip (assuming its rubber) able to come off so its just the bare bow handle?

    yes the rubber grip comes off but the riser is has squared edges and would be very uncomfortble to shoot without a grip
