Big congrats! Nice work gentlemen.

Its amazing to me how people can find a justification to support anyone with so much dirt on their hands, yet condemn others simply because they dont like their words. Isnt there a pretty broad difference between saying something that some people might find offensive and actually commiting crimes and blatant acts of corruption?

Lets see, on one hand you have a money grubbing harpie thats been bought by goldman sachs and every other big wall street bank for a paltry couple hundred thousand at a whack, vs. the ego maniac/my-way-or-the-highway/tariff everything/I'm a billionaire and cant be bought guy..... Im thinking that if im a wall street exec whose multi million dollar bonus and salary depends on positive earnings, I'm probably siding with the trollip who's been passed around by my banker buddies more than a drunk cheerleader at a frat party. Its the law of rational self interest at work right in front of your eyes, and it has nothing to do with philanthropy or politics. Its all about money.

Iowa?

Great buck! Congrats!

You need to add 30 points or so I wouldnt be surprised if it was a little over 170. I have a 145 hardhorned muley on my wall and this guy looks like he has more spread and much longer backs than mine does.

Sounds like a real exciting hunt. Congrats to you guys, you made some great memories and got an awesome trophy to go with them. Doesnt get any better!

Wow! He's a big one, congrats!

Half the fun of a compond bow is fiddling with it and trying different things. If that werent the case, I doubt the manufacturers would be as successful as they are at getting people to buy new bows every year. Theres only one way to know for sure: give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

Dam sorry to hear that 6A. We'll be thinking about your nephew and his parents. Prayers sent. +1 on the picture, lets see this little man, if his folks dont mind.

Awesome buck! Congrats to the hunter.

Got deer problems? There's only one obvious answer: deer vasectomies! WTH is wrong with people? I can't imagine how p.o.ed I'd be if I was a tax payer in that state. http://sportingclassicsdaily.com/nyc-deer-vasectomy-campaign/ http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/06/09/staten-island-deer-vasectomies/

Awesome buck! Congrats to him!

Nice work! Great to see the little ones get involved.

Nice! Thats the way to start a bowhunting career. Congrats.

Nice double! Congrats to you two.

Wow! Awesome buck! Congrats.

Ive never been up there yet, but hear its real popular with hikers.

Looks like my bow, Tank, has shot his last deer. While fiddling around with him in the garage today & throwing some arrows through the chronograph, I drew back, heard the death moan (crack!) of my bottom limb and then the string went slack.... He was aged 7 years, 4 months and had taken 4 deer and one javelina. I'd estimate (conservatively) that I must've shot at least 20,000 arrows off this thing. Probably twice that many.... We've had a good run buddy. I'll miss you.....

No sir, I had a very spendy pse mach12 delaminate in my car years ago. My bows are all in my closet in the master bedroom. I honestly think these are just shot out. Ive never owned a bow this long before and if you do the math at a minimum of 50 shots per week (which sonunds low to me) x 7.5 years its around 20000 shots. And like I said, I think that number is very conservative. When I first bought that thing, I shot every day, minimum of 20 shots per day. I honestly think those limbs probably had more than 40k shots off of them. That bow just had its 6th string put on. Its seen some use. Now its time to test bowtechs customer service.

I appreciate that bud. Losing a good piece of equipment is hard to swallow. I'm hopeful that I'll find a set of donor limbs and the transplant will go well. In the meantime, all I can do is wait and pray.

appreciate the offer, but I just emailed diamond to see about a replacement set of limbs. There is a lifetime warranty on them for original owners, but being brilliant as I am, I never registered the dang thing so.... now I wait to see if I get a free set or if I have to pony up some cash for them. Regardless, I'm far too cheap loyal to let go of a bow I like this much over something as trivial as a broken limb. In the meantime, I've got a couple brand new rests and some other sights up in the closet that I've been meaning to try out, so I'm going to set-up my back-up bow (another black ice) and start playing with that while I wait to hear back from Diamond.

LOL! No doubt.... And if that doesn't work, I have a costco size roll of duct tape around here some where and some zip ties.

My understanding of it has always been this: 1. Driving somewhere and bump into a deer so you go for it = dumb luck and perfectly legal 2. Driving up and down roads in an effort to come up on something and jump out and shoot it before it can run off or shoot it from your vehicle = roadhunting and illegal. Its been a few years since I took hunters ed, but I think that was how they explained it to us. As for me, im not Interested in tickets, g&f officers or paying lawyers so I leave my bow in its case until I park and then walk in.

Its sometimes hard to read people online, but when people mention it, I always take it as sarcasm coming from jokers. I dont think many on here seriously employ this tactic.
