A Few Steps Ahead Of You
as difficult as this this, i must make a confession that those who know me will find borderline shocking. I spent the day at Double A Archery with Andy, and all i can say is ......WOW
uhhh, ahhmmmm.
i might have shot my next bow!
again, those who know me, know im a hard sell and completely believe in and stand behind my equipment. and those opinions are not based on names or what is popular. it is what i like based on what i have shot. i was and still am very devoted to my Mathews LX, however i did shoot a bow that could make me just as happy, if not more so.
Here is what....
I shot the PSE Diablo NP with the Idle Cam system (very similar to any single cam style bow), @ 60 lbs.
here is why i liked about it.
at first glance, i like the fact that it is simple, not may moving parts, nothing "Future-istic" looking, no unrecogonizable parts. Some like that, some don't. but i like simplicity.
it has an 8 3/8" Brace height (which i especially like)
axle to axle 32 1/8", (i prefer a touch longer, but i was fine with that and have no complaints)
it was fast, with full length heavy arrows, 250 fps...(i'm not a speed guy so i won't sacrifice sound for speed, but Andy said getting 275+ after the right arrows have been matched to the bow is easy)
it was whisper quiet! no complaints.
it is as quiet as any bow i have shot, hoyt, mathews, bow tech, jennings, bear, etc!!
my only negative thought, which is minor, the bow does have a very slight jump forward once the arrow is released. once completely set up, i feel that would diminish with the right weighted stabalizer and accessories. so that is a "fixable issue"
i shot the X-Force and the Mossy Oak, and honestly didn't care for those bows. but like i said, i wont sacrifice sound for speed, and that is only me and my opinion.
but the biggest point i want to make here is simple. PSE has been notorious for making crap, and i feel that was accurate in the past. but now, they have upped their game and produced a quality bow that can compare and compete with any bow on the market. they have a broad line of options to fit the desires of even the pickiest of archers.
If money weren't an issue, id have walked out with the Diablo today.
i make only this suggestion. go see Andy @ Double A, shoot one and see for yourself, dont take my word for it.
