Guest 9point Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I Shot Hoyt for 15 years (bought a trykon 4 months ago,) and after shooting a friens Diamond I bought one (victory) after 40 shots the bus cable's serving is wore and red lube coming out from the pocket andback of the limb. Anyone tell me what gives. I love the way the diamond shoots (better then the Hoyt) Maybe just a cheap string? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Question on diamond Take it to the dealer you bought it from, they should be able to fix the serving, and have a look at the pocket.... It may very well all be under warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Question on diamond The red lube is just excess from assembly,my Bowtech has the same stuff.As for the serving,I would definately have it looked at.Sounds like maybe the cams are out of alignment or something.No way it should be wearing yet.

Maryland_Bowhunter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Question on diamond I will say that the factory strings on the diamonds are junk . When I bought mine with in a week I had bought a new string and cable and put it on . I would look into a string and cable from Bucknasty from AT . I bought one from him a month ago and it shows no sign of wear at all . Best on the market IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the bow back to the pro shop and see if indeed its a warranty issue. If the pro shop won't work with you contact Diamond and ask them what you should do. Good luck!

257bob Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Question on diamond I would disagree that the strings are junk. There are many reasons a serving can wear. I have shot their strings for two seasons. Can you put some pictures of the serving up just to get an idea about the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 9point Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Question on diamond Got it figured out. Diamond has a draw post stop and it changes the valley . If you set it to long for your draw length it will eat the cabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Question on diamond my buddy had one and the string kept coming off the cam in half draw. Kindof scary but he doesnt shoot diamond any more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Question on diamond Diamond are Awesome bows! They are made by Bowtech! I dont care what anyone says, they will shoot with ANY BOW on the market! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobi Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Question on diamond i owned two of the original diamonds(firestorm and widow maker) they were two awsome shooting bows. once i heard bowtech bought them out i sold them and bought an outback. i didn't want to deal w/ bowtech if i needed parts or anything i've heard quite afew bad stories about their service. i wish diamond still was privately owned they had a good thing started.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Question on diamond I'm with you on that one noobi! I used to shoot Diamonds when they were actually Diamonds. Heck the original Diamond made most of the parts for Bowtech! The first round of Diamonds by Bowtech were not that good, IMO. But some of the new line up is pretty nice. Definately some good shooters in that bunch. Take the bow to a pro shop and have them check it out. Servings go bad for a number of reasons. The bow could just not be set up correctly.
