New bow question

[Walleye Guy]

I am getting into bow hunting this year and have a question about a brand of bow. I realize that you need to shoot the bows as see what works best for yourself. I am planning to evaluate Mathews, Bowtech and Hoyt. However a buddy of mine says I should also be considering the Diamond line from Bowtech.

My question is this. What is the big difference between Diamond bows and the regular Bowtech bows? Is it quality? Do the models match up in some way or is it more apples and oranges?

Initially I am leaning towards the Mathews Switchback XT but if I can get a bow that shoots as well(for me)for a few hundred less I certainly would do it.

Thanks,

Shoot them all. I have last years S.B. and love it. Can't say that you will love this years S.B. Diamond Bows are just the bows that Bow-tec sells at any sporting goods store. Mathews, Hoyt and Bow-tecs, are sold only at Pro shops. Hope this helps

Bowtech bought Diamond out. From what i know Diamond is manufacturing the same bow they did before Bowtech bought them out.

As far as saving a few hundred $, that is something you have to decide. Bowtech and Mathews are costly bows. But they also produce 2 of the best bows out there. You need to visit several different pro shops and stores and just try them out.

Each retail outlet carries different manufactures. Cabin Fever carries Bowtech and Mathews along with hoyt I believe. Not sure about the hoyt. I would just call a couple of places in your area and see what they have and go out and have fun trying different types out. Then make your decision based on what you felt was the best for you.

Good luck.
