Bare Bows

One of 2007's Most Popular Bows is Back for 2008!

The Black Ice is back, and better than ever. The Black Ice stunned the archery industry last year with record sales and rave reviews. In fact, the Black Ice was so good, it was largely responsible for catapulting Bowtech/Diamond to the #1 spot as the nation's largest bow manufacturer in 2007. To put it bluntly, the Black Ice caused even the most lofty "Solocam" competitors to fall flat on their butts. Why? The Black Ice was simply a better bow - quieter - smoother - with zero recoil and vibration. This is the bow that reset the standards for how a quality single-cam bow should perform. So we are thrilled to see the Black Ice back for 2008, and shooting better than ever.

What makes the Black Ice so outstanding? It begins with highly efficient 12”, 53-degree beyond-parallel limbs and optimized center cam mass placement. The result is an ultra-efficient bow that's eerily silent without a breath of recoil at the shot. A slender, two-piece grip and technically refined riser framework all combine to close the distance between your hand and the arrow, which yields less vertical torque and increased stability. In short, the Black Ice is not only a hot 318 fps performer, but its one of the most comfortable, stable, and accurate single cam bows money can buy. It feels great in your hand. It feels even better when you draw it back. And when you shoot it, you can hardly feel anything at all. You want it smooth? Black Ice is as slick as it gets!

Of course, we've loaded this great bow up with everything: rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, hard case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE. But don't expect the box to be full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because this awesome rig comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case. Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance; professionally installing the accessories, custom building the arrows, tuning and testing the finished rig......the whole works! So this rig arrives 100% ready to shoot. Check out the videos and scroll down for more details.

Bow Package Details: Accessories Included

ARROW REST CHOICE #1   Most Popular
Hostage by Bowtech

Never worry about an arrow falling from the rest again. The Hostage rest captures the arrow like other popular rests, but doesn't damage fletching or slow down your arrows. Triple brush block design ensures perfect arrow alignment and easy loading. A very quiet and rugged design. *Best used with straight or offset vanes. ARROW REST CHOICE #2
QAD Hunter Ultra-Rest Fall Away

Unlike other rests that drop-away because of inertia or vibration, the ULTRA REST relies on the velocity of the Rest moving forward to initiate the launcher to drop. VDT assures the ULTRA-REST remains in the cocked position even on a slow let down and will only drop-away if the bow is fired. VDT is a durable and reliable firing mechanism which is sure to change the way you look at drop away rests. ARROW WILL NOT FALL OFF REST.

Bow Package Details: Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional. Every detail is attended to. The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings. The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow. Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package. Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy. We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly. 3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters. We use the 25/2 rule. If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met. While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot. This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard. When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer. And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry. You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration. 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power). Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package will likely shoot a measured 268-310 fps once setup with a "loaded" string. We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range. You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package. This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system. Keep this sheet for your reference. If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING (excluding AK and HI)
Each fully assembled 2008 Diamond Black Ice Package is delivered - packed tightly in the hardshell bowcase. The bow and the arrows are firmly strapped into place and the loose parts, like the release, are all safely tucked inside too. Once full, the bowcase is then returned to it's original box and resealed. Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business within 1-5 working days. A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.

FAQ's:

Q: Should I Choose the Weight of My Practice-Tips and Broadheads?
A: If you already have your heart set on a particular grain weight, we will gladly follow your request. Please select 100 or 125 gr heads when you order your system. However, the choice of tip weight may be an option best left "open". Tip weight is a variable in determining an arrow's dynamic spine (how much it flexes when shot). A heavier tip makes an arrow act more limber; a lighter tip makes an arrow act more stiff. We test shoot each bow system to ensure we're getting the best possible arrow flight, and we often use tip weight as a tool to help "tweak" dynamic arrow spine. Leaving this option "open" allows our pro-shop to achieve the best possible spine, weight, and FOC combination for your arrows. If you would rather let the pro-shop choose your tip weights, your bow's documentation will show which grain weight was ultimately selected for you.

Q: When will my bow package arrive?
A: We put a considerable amount of care and labor into every Ready-to-Hunt™ bow package, as we want to make sure we get it right the FIRST time. But we also realize you're anxious to get your order and begin shooting. So we work hard to make sure our bow systems are built and shipped within 1-5 business days of your order. Once completed and shipped, most systems will then be delivered via FedEx Ground within 1-5 business days (delivery time will vary by location). However, if any delays are expected with your order, you will promptly be notified with the details via email. Please allow 1-2 days extra time during peak season (August -Sept). Once your bow system ships, you will receive a FedEx tracking number. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to call us at 1-877-410-7811 or email us.
