This is a Quote My buddy shoots for Bowtech and just leaked this to me, so don't get your hopes to high,but I love the thought of a pearl coloured bow I'm going to try and sum up the 2011 lineup and what I know about the future. One standard camo pattern for all bows will be Mossy Oak Treestand. All bows can also be ordered in Black Ops. Target bows can be ordered in the above as well as 3 anodized colors including Black, Inferno and Pearl White. Destroyer 340 & 350 are still in the lineup, limbs will only be offered in black. A rosewood grip is an option with standard rubber grip remaining. For longer draw folks, the possibility of derailing the bow was pretty great so the cams have been reworked to eliminate that possibility. Price came down to MSRP of$849 Soldier remains as a carry over bow from last season. It will come with a package consisting of string loop, 3 pin fiber optic sight, Hostage XL rest, 1pc 5 arrow quiver, wrist sling and a 3/16" aluminum peep served in. MSRP is $449 Assassin will be the big seller. 30 5/8" a-a, 7" brace, solid limb, 26-30" draw, IBO 333fps. This bow is being offered at MSRP of $599 as a "RAK" bow (Ready Aim Kill). Package has alloy peep, 4 pin tru-glow apex sight, wrist sling, string loop,1pc 5 arrow quiver, Hostage XL arrow rest, 4" lite stab and new dura-flx string dampeners. This bow is a machined riser with threaded sockets on top and bottom of the riser for screw in weights to make it feel the way you want. Bow will be 3.7lbs bare and have a very nice feel. No other bow available at this price point with machined riser. HeartBreaker is super fast, short draw bow. 30 1/4" a-a, 7" brace, solid limb, 22.5-27" draw, 305fps @27" and 60#. This one is also offered as a RAK bow and will MSRP at $599. Perfect for women and shorter men. Specialist is THE target setup. 37.5" a-a, 7.5" brace, 26-30.5" draw, IBO 330fps.They designed this bow for the target archer and did it right. Has a deflex riser and is a solid limb bow. The grip is part of the riser which allows you to feel the bow and will have a slight buzz because of this feature. Your hand placement is directly under the flex portion of the limb. MSRP $999 Invasion will be released at the ATA show. This will be the flagship hunting bow and will MSRP for $899. My guesses on this one (and they are just educated guesses) are that it will have an updated center pivot type setup with a deflex riser. It will have Destroyer speed and Guardian smoothness with new cams. It will be offered at normal hunting weights as well as #80 for the guys needing the extra poundage for whatever would need it. Diamond will keep the kids bows in the 2011 lineup. The rest of the Diamond bows are all new and include a new style cam that has a hub instead of an axle. They will offer a 340 bow for single cam speed freaks. Also in the mix are 2 new crossbows. I don't have the names yet but the first one will be a 135lb bow shooting 350fps in a small package. It MSRPs for $499 and setup for $599. The other new crossbow will be a higher end offering that MSRPs for $699. A new Strikeforce crossbow is also on the table for 2011.Again maybe see what Greg has to say about it. Rocky
What about the octane hostage pro arrow rest. Is it new with the noise damping pads and when will they be available?
All the bowtechs/diamonds shot great IMO, although the Invasion doesn't have new cams they're still the overdrive binary style with a little bit deeper of a groove. The speed bow from diamond was a sweet bow, but it was a little too top heavy for my liking, for the price the $499 package deal Diamond Outlaw was the best shooting bow released for 2011 IMO. Thanks for the review!
diamond/bowtech is a great company because they offer good bows for a reasonable price....i like parker too =[] random.....cant wait to see the new bows for this year.
