I had one like that first I slipped on the creek bank and broke one of the lens tubes off my Nikon binocs. Had a nice 8 point come in and my bearing swivel on my release had dirt in it and wouldn't turn. I was hunting on the ground and turned to get on him and elbowed the tree behind me which some how resulted in me hitting my trigger and sending the arrow about 20 feet in front of him. It's kind of embarrassing to tell. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Mines the same I'll put the 20 yard pin just above the deers back at 40 yards and check the 40 yard pin to make sure its on before I shoot because if I focus on that pin the whole time I'll have a headache with all that clutter. Thinking about going back to a 3 pin or even trying one of those pendulum sites on my new bow.

Yea I hate the copper John too lol something about 5 pins real close that doesn't work too well at 40 yards like it does at the 15 yard range at the bow shop. And the peep is much bigger than the site when looking through it so that makes sense.

As for your first point I have shot it at 67lbs and the same setup arrow and broad head/ practice tip wise since I changed to the Rages the first season I owned it. I've really shot the bow a lot to try to get as comfortable as possible with it just thinking maybe all it was was my comfortability level with the bow. As for peep size I was honestly sitting in my tree stand sunday afternoon thinking about going to a bigger peep. I shoot the 1/4 now but was thinking it might be smart to go up on whatever bow I decide to get next. I've shot the new straight Bowtech that my dad got (he's same draw length and everything as me) and it seems much better and the guy at the bow shop I use let me go with him to try out the new Martins when they first released them and I really, really liked the Alien Nitro. I would like to try out the newer Hoyts and Matthews as well but nobody around me really sells PSE's for some reason. I've talked to the guy I know at the bow shop I use and he really couldn't think of anything but had me bring it back in to tune it again and it didn't make any difference.

Does anyone have a Diamond Stud or similar Diamond that is as disappointed in it as I am? I bought mine in 2010 brand new, copper john II sight the Apex rest all the "best of the best stuff" and have had it tuned twice since my original fitting for it. First big bow purchase for me did a lot of research and it was supposed to be a great bow for the year. I came off a 2003 Martin Tracer I bought for $150 from my dad, whisker biscuit and one of the old Cobra 3 pins which was a great sight then. I still can't get over how loud the Diamond is and how much it vibrates, both significantly worse than my old Martin, I also can't get the same consistency out of it that I could the Tracer. Does anyone else have a similar review to this bow or other Diamonds or could it just be that I'm not as comfortable with it as I thought I was when I bought it. Either way I think I'm going to trade it in and go back to a Martin Alien Nitro after this season.
