Title: my next bow question
Post by: jnevs23 on January 27, 2011, 11:35:05 PM: So I have gone out and looked at and held a lot of bows in the $500 range. So far I have loved the G5 hammer, like the looks and feel of a couple bears. I like the looks of the PSE's but they felt a little off in my hand. The diamonds are nice too. Now I am wondering if I should wait, save more money and step up my price range. What are the differences? More speed, quieter, smoother, lighter etc? What about warranties? At what point am I just paying more just to feed my ego? lol I want a quiet bow first and foremost. I will trade some fps for a smooth quiet bow. Thanks for the insight guys

You're at the limit that everything above it is ego-related for 90% of the people. Only 10% of the people can use the features that those extra dollars bring.

You are NOT EVER gonna find a better bow for that price ANYWHERE!!! That is an $850 bow for only 454 bucks. If I wanted to drop $500 on a bow I'd drop it on that Iceman. That bow is as quiet and smooth as your gonna find for any price. I promise.
