    Ok, I got back into bowhunting with a Diamond Rock... I loved it....Hunted a couple of years and lucked into an Iceman....recently bought my son a Stud that had been hanging in the shop for a couple of years....

    The 09 Diamonds shoot with any bow any where...the new ones not so much.

    Anyone shooting the new Diamonds and into them ?

    The new outlaw is a fabulous bow. $500 set up package that is shooting 330fps and very forgiving. Their flagship bow, the Dead Eye, not too impressed with.

    I'm amazed with the Dead Eye.. a single cam that can shoot 343 fps.. now I'll confess, I own one but it's yet to be set up. I have maybe 10 arrows through it at best and that's after shooting one at the ATA show last year.

    The thing that impressed me most, it's as dead in the had as the center pivot line of bows. It's got a stiff draw but the back wall is SOLID... and couple all that with FAST! I haven't set it up, well because I have a 340 for 3D and a Black op 350 for hunting.. I also didn't set up my Invasion

    I figured the Dead Eye would be a real sleeper... a single cam with that speed but I didn't see the buzz on it like I thought. I'll have to put a little more time into mine and see...

    Interested to see how it works out for you Rob. I admittedly haven't shot one a bunch, just the one in our shop.

    Things I did like:
    Very light
    Very Solid Back Wall
    Incredible Speed
    No Handshock
    Hardcore Limbs

    Things I didn't Like:
    Very top heavy
    Pretty harsh draw cycle
    Too short of a brace height for my liking
