Title: Your opinions on two bows
Post by: hard hunter on January 14, 2011, 03:58:42 PM: Let me start by saying that I know the most important thing is to see how these bow feel and then buy what is comfortable. I would like to know what your opinions are on the Diamond Iceman and the Mission Craze. I am thinking of the Iceman for me and the Craze for the wife. Please let me know what you think.

For the wife I would get here to shoot some bows and see what feels good to her. I took my wife to a few shops to shoot bows and she didn't like any of the big dollar bows at all. She bought a martin leopard. Loved the grip. She didn't like the feel of the mathews or hoyt bows at that time. Haven't let her shoot anything newer. Probably shouldn't:)

You're right. That's a hell of a good deal on the Iceman. Anyone in the market better jump on this deal.
