I think you should go with the bow that fits you the best, feels the best in your hands etc. I try not to get caught up in names or anything like that and will pick the product that I feel best fits my style.  :twocents:

I'm going to shoot them side by side Monday and make the decision, I have shot the same Matthews before and loved it, but I've become one with the diamond. The Matthews Is set up better and he will trade straight across because he already has a bow and got the Matthews for a great deal.

That is a tough call. It is good that you are shooting them both but if it were me, I would think about having a huge bull in front of you at 40 yards broadside and both bows laying on the ground next to you, which one would you pick up to make the shot?  :tup:

Good point. It's my father In law that has the bow and he's in no hurry, maybe ill borrow It for a month or so and really  figure things out.

I think that is your best bet. Trusting your equipment in the field is very important. I shoot a Diamond and love it. Keep us posted on how it goes.
