I have been watching a lot of your videos, some are older but as someone who has not been into bows for well over 20 years, let me just say thank you. I am Just an old man in Florida and needed knowledge.
I work on all these bows on a daily basis and I know how much time this kind of stuff took! We sell more mission products than diamond but to each their own! Appreciate the hard work! God bless brother
Thank you Nathan! It was an absolute pain! So I’m glad someone knows it lol. Thanks for the comment. The mission switch back wall was way to spongy for me and it was a bit slower which is why I didn’t rank it higher, but still a great bow for the price.
@@seansoutdoors Just recently started following your channel and I enjoy it. If your into archery hunting check my bosses hunting show on sportsman channel. It's called Final Draw
Enjoy the bow. Archery is largely a mental game. Be confident in the bow and focus on developing good shooting form. Block all the other thoughts, noise, and nonsense out. God bless you.
Great vid Sean. This is very helpful for us older guys getting back into the compound market. My 1st compound bow was a Jennings model T. I would have never consider Diamond had it not been for your research!
I shoot recurve recreationally and decided to dip my toes into compounds. I didn’t have a clue where to start, and your videos were very helpful! I ended up finding a very lightly used SB1 at a pawnshop. I don’t think they paid close attention to the accessories on it though. It included a soft case, 6 new Carbon Express Maxima Red arrows and a Trophy Ridge React One Pro sight, all for $240. I slapped my cash down and couldn’t be happier with it. Thanks for giving me an idea of what to keep an eye out for, because there are SO MANY options in the compound archery world, and it’s a bit overwhelming to a newcomer. Happy new year and God bless
Thank you for all this great information. I plan on starting a envelope to add money every now and then for a good hunting bow. Hopefully by spring. I also really appreciate your way to introduce scripture. Definitely hitting the subscribe button because of that.
Nice new techniques practiced in your last video. The cuts and edits and camera angles were nice. I think you're doing a excellent job. On another note the other day I tried shooting through paper and wouldnt you know my arrow went through the target into the sheetrock and half way out my sideing on the back of my house. I felt like a complete idiot and had to cut the arrow to pull it out the wall. But like the guy at shop told me you learn as you go.
I have the diamond Edge SB-1 and I have killed many deer with it. The bow drives tacks. The world of compound bows can be summed up with one phrase, diminishing returns. These "beginner" bows are so good now that it's almost a shame they are allowed into archery season.
A fellow club member at our archery club bought a Diamond Edge 320, and it is very, very impressive! If you have a chance to get your hands on one, you will see that they didn't lose anything by replacing the SB-1 with the Edge 320.
I just started shooting a compound bow. I picked the infinitive edge pro. And i really enjoy it. It is still a learning experience for me and I didn't wanted to overspend because edge pro is about 100 usd cheaper then SB-1. SB-1 might have and edge over the edge pro (pun intended), but im not planning to hunt with a bow cause it is illegal in my country anyways and for hobby practice shooting i find edge pro really nice. Really appreciate the video and all the technical info you gave. It is kinda complicated going in without any info of compound bows or of bows as a beginner in general.
I just ran across your videos today. I was impressed with your approach to presenting information and detail to accuracy. I would like to see videos on the lower end older Mission bows especially Menace and Eliminator. I appreciate that you are a Christian (even Catholics are Christians). You won't go to hell just because you aren't a Baptist. Let me suggest you may be better served by appealing to the non Christian to accept Christ and affiliate with the Catholic church rather than showing protestants how to convert. When I talk to people who are new in my area I ask them (if they are Christians) what denomination they are. I tell them where the closest church is to them. I do invite them to visit the church I attend. I believe the most important thing is to find unchurched people. I believe you are doing a great job sharing your faith through a nonthreatening medium. Keep up the good work on both fronts. May God bless your efforts and your family. Glad your son didn't lose his finger.
Awesome series of videos. Really enjoyed binge watching them and the data provided. Being in the research area I k ow how time consuming it takes to provide consistent and complete data set. So thank you for all the work you put in. I really enjoy the advise you add in your reviews, I am learning a lot. I been shooting a Bear G2 for over a year and have enjoying it a lot, the main reason for that one was the cost. There was a ridiculous sale on the bow, and all the reviews was that it was good bow, so, excuse the pun, pulled the trigger on the bow. Have been hunting with it and was successful with it.
Thank you so much! Yes it takes a longgggg time to change every draw length setting and capture all the data! So thanks for noticing that. God bless you.
I went hunting this season and the diamond edge pro was so quite i shot at a deer twice without it noticing. I'll practice my aiming 😌 the bow was smooth out in the field.
Thank you for a great video (videos) and guiding me in the right direction to a new compound bow. I've been out of the sport for a spell and just recently purchased a recurve bow (my 1st but have shot a lot of long bows in the past) ... I use to shoot and hunt with PSE F2 set at 70lb DW, but back then you could not make any adjustments without a bow press. I am amazed at what you can do and just how much bow you get for your money these days.. Thanks again and if you have any suggestions for me It would be greatly appreciated.. Take care..
Thank you for the video. I was looking at the Diamond Edge SB-1 to replace my old Bear so I can get back into bow hunting after a long absence. God bless America long live the Republic
Sean thank you for the comparison and conclusion. I do have one question...I donated my bow to a friend who was in need and could not afford to get into archery. I'm now in the position of needing a replacement. I'm not archery hunting this year as a result but it's not an issue, as I can rifle hunt in two weeks. That being said, I would like to stick with what the local shops stock and it seems my options are going to be Hoyt, Bear and Elite at one shop, then Hoyt, Mathews and Mission at another shop. I'm on a bit of a stricter budget than normal, as I did not sell my previous bow. I'd like to stick to a budget option from Mission, Hoyt or Bear. The Mission Switch was on my radar, but I could possibly spend a little more and get the Mission MXR with the better cams. The same would be true for Bear, as I was looking at the Cruzer G2, but could spend a little more for a slightly more premium but still budget option, say the Approach. With Hoyt I believe I'd be limited to the Powermax, which is probably pushing the budget ceiling. On whatever I choose I will probably add/change the accessories to ones I prefer. This is where the Mission bows seemed a little bit better, as I could buy them stripped or their "bowhunter" package isn't as low end as something like the Cruzer. My father has a Bear Cruzer that I setup for him a year or two ago so I'm familiar with it and didn't dislike it, but was never blown away either. I haven't shot the new Mission bows yet, but did like the older Hype DTX they made. I shot a Powermax a couple of times and it was ok, if I'm remembering correctly, but don't think it left a lasting, have to have it, sort of impression. Any advice or guidance you can give is greatly appreciated. The bow I gave away was a Quest Thrive, which was also ok but I'm not buying another, as the shop where I got it is no longer in business. Thank you.
Look into the Bear Approach HC. For the money it has some pretty good power and speed. Otherwise, just shoot the ones you can afford and go with the one you like best. They all are pretty close. God bless you.
Hi Sean! Great vid! I have the diamond sb-1 if my draw length is 29” but the pro shop I bought it from set it to 29” on the cams, should I put it to 30” on the cams? It sounds like 30” on the cams is actually 29”. Thanks and God bless you!
Hello, one question I just got an infinite diamond, this pink, the same as yours, but I don't know how many feet per second it has to reach, I just know that it's the same as the one you show in pink in the video
Sean, I think your review is the best on the youtube! I have a question, with the Bowtech convergence and Diamond edge320 at the same price, can I say Bowtech Convergence is also a very good bow for beginner ?
Hi Sean I ordered the Bear Species LD even though I only have 28.5 inch draw because it’s what i can afford right now and it was on sale. It says only 310 fps max speed and my question is-is the speed they advertise coming from the 32 inch draw length because its an LD? or is it still at 30 inch according to IBO. I might have regretted getting this bow and should have just went with the SB 1 or the regular Species that rated 330 fps at max draw length of 30. Maybe i can still return the bow.
Hey Sean! Realy nice content. I want to buy my first bow. Could you make a video abaut the BEAR ARCHERY Species RTH?? What do you think abaut this bow?? Best wishes from Germany!! 😊
I have recently decided to get a bow to begin archery hunting next year. I cannot tell you how informative I have found your videos for my UA-cam research. Definately the most in depth for beginner and entry level bows. I do have a question (which hopefully you do not find annoying, considering you addressed my very question in this video). While I have seen very good reviews on the SB-1 and you chose that for best one, I have also seen complaints about accessory package most notably sights. I fully intend to go shoot at a local store all my choices before purchase, and have shot a Bear, the model I cannot remember right now, and liked it. My question is, if you were getting first bow for hunting, and you were grown and not likely to adjust length but possibly weight as muscles developed, would you still get the SB-1 or would you opt for a higher quality accessory package out of the gate, such as the stinger or G2? I'd appriciate any insight you could offer and I'll be watching as you upload from here on. Thanks for providing guys like me a source for information.
It depends on how much money you have. If you can afford more, I’d get the Elite Enlist or Xpedition Mountaineer and buy individual accessories. Most bows that come with accessories already are cheaper accessories. Get yourself a vapor trail v-pro rest and a trophy ridge sight. Quivers, well, I have trouble finding one I like enough to recommend so just go find one you like and put it on there. If you want a cheaper bow, start with something like the sb1 and upgrade the accessories . God bless ya.
New sub! Awesome content thank you! My son wants to get into archery so looking at either sb-1 or cruzer g2. Now what about best beginner bow for an adult? Maybe for a short adult? Lol. I've done quite a bit of research but am having such a hard time finding a lower priced bow that fits a 25.5 inch draw. Are you familiar at all with bowtech btx 28? Thanks for all your great videos!
i have a very beginner question, is adjusting the draw weight and length mutually exclusive? I was under the impression you could adjust each independently, put the length to where you like it then put the weight you like but the weight/length chart is confusing me
@@seansoutdoors Thanks Sea. How interchangeable are accessories? Are they fairly general or do you need to make sure you're buying a stabilizer/sight/etc to fit your model?
Sean, on one of your videos it gives the link to all the videos with scriptures for the Dec 1st giveaway. Which video is? I was watching them in order but now I can't find the link.
I very much appreciate your objective data when comparing these products against each other. But since you have so much knowledge and EXPERIENCE I would also like to get your subjective input on some of these bows, which ones "feel" better to shoot in your opinion. The specs make the SB1 a better bow, but if it grouped the same as the cruzer g2, which would you prefer to shoot all day?
If I was buying it for myself, I'd buy the sb1. In fact I bought myself an edge 320 as my backup bow because the sb1 doesn't go to my draw length and I wanted a spare bow in case of an emergency and something happed to my main bow
@@seansoutdoors thanks so much for taking the time to make your videos and reply to comments! I'll look into the SB-1. I know my draw is around 30", so hopefully it'll work out!
Love your channel. Can you recommend a good youth starter bow? I know an 11 year old who is interested. I shoot compound and recurve and I’m not sure which direction to start. I love them all. Less than 300 set up with accessories including a decent 6 pack of arrows to start with.
For less than 300 you may want to start the person with a recurve. There are many that have removable limbs so you can get heavier poundage limbs as the child grows. As far as brand, I’d say any will work. I know PSE have some recurve bows for beginners a little over $100.
Why for beginners? I love my sb1, I'll probably get shot for saying this but I prefer it over my hoyt, and I've actually sold it and kept the diamond. Its amazing
@@seansoutdoors no I get it. I'm just blown away by how great this thing shoots and feels, the weight adjustability everything. I dont know that I'll buy another bow. Been wanting a triax for awhile but its heavier by alot, and almost x3 as much. Doing spot and stock with that would get old, and fast. Anywho...as always I love your videos and value your input.
You clearly know very much about archery, and I really appreciate that you share that knowledge. But I think your basis for your choice of best beginner bow, in this video, is bad. It seems to be entirely "higher draw weight is better". So it seems if there was a beginner bow that could go up to 80 pounds, you'd recommend that one. Why? Who needs that? For each draw length, you pick the bow that has the highest draw weight. And then of course with the higher draw weight, it has a higher arrow speed. I'm not sure you use the word efficiency in this video, but efficiency would be arrow speed divided by the effort required to draw the bow (which might be roughly proportional to peak draw weight). This only makes sense if there are commonly people with a draw length of 19" who ever need a draw weight over 48 pounds. Or have a draw length of 24" and need a draw weight over 59 pounds, just as a couple examples from your data. How common is that? This is a sincere question, I don't know much about these things, but it seems unlikely to me. Again, I do really appreciate the video, and especially your measurement and presentation of actual data.
If one bow holds it's speed as the draw weight drops, that means it is doing a better job transferring the energy into the arrow. That means it is performing better than the bow it is being compared to at the same draw weight yet is delivering lower arrow speed because it is not doing as good of a job transferring the energy into the arrow. The point of the comparison is so that an individual can look at the data that was delivered at his or her draw weight and see which bow performed best. That is why I tested all of these bows at all of the draw lengths. The bow that performed the best out of these tests is what I named as the best bow. It was strictly based on the results of the testing and data acquired. I hope that helps you understand why one bow was named better than another. Comparing bows based on opinion and not data isn't too helpful for people who are trying to make a buying decision, which is why I ran the tests I did and then reported the data acquired. I'd suggest that if you don't like the way I do these types of videos then maybe skip over mine when you see them pop up and look for someone else who is delivering what you are looking for in a review video. God bless you.
@@DarxusC All the bows were tested at the max draw weight setting at each draw length. With these bows, the draw weight decreases as the draw length is decreased. There is a correlation between the efficiency of each bow at each draw length, which also changes in draw weight. The data accumulated from testing each bow at peak weight at each draw length (which was decreasing in draw weight as the draw length deceased) was then compared to see which bow gave the best performance. That bow was then singled out as better. Thus, the bow draw length and draw weight were both part of the testing process and conclusion. To see all of the added data that was accumulated for the comparison, view the individual reviews. I did not restate every detail of the individual review in this video as this was just a summary video. However, all of the details mentioned were taken into consideration for these results. www.seansoutdooradventures.com/seans-reviews/
Hey buddy love your vids, I’ve got 2x compound bows, a 55lbs apex hunting one and a 75pound horizon-zone aribourne, would like to do target shooting and I’ve got a 4x sight on it. Just not to sure exactly the best way to start setting it up. Could I get your email and could you please help me out.!
Can you do a review on the Diamond Edge 320? Also, I see both are still available in the market and on Diamond's archery website but I was told the Edge 320 will replace the Edge SB-1 but I am not sure if that's accurate. Thanks for all your hard work bro.
@@seansoutdoors Eee... a joke? -.-' What I meant was... If during giveaway you will say for example ''video XYZ from 12th June'' It will be easier to find this video by date and answer question.
@@poland_stronk3044 The reason I am not using dates is that I do a lot of scheduled uploads. The upload date and published date are different, and I didn't want that turning into a big controversy, hence, no dates.
Beginner? The Mission Switch has been around for years under different names. Having draw weights up above 40 is not the place to start a young shooter. The bow changes draw lengths in less than a minute. It has a lifetime warranty. Shoots well. Poundage at different draw lengths is meaningless to a beginning shooter. Arrow speed is meaningless to a beginning shooter. Developing an archer is not based on equipment specs. "It's the Indian, not the arrow."
I'm just starting out , doing research on bows. Thank you for such detailed explanations. This video sealed the deal on my first bow... 🤙
That's great, enjoy the journey. God bless you

Have you done anything with the PSE Uprising? Looking at it compared to the SB-1.
No it's haven't, sorry
Great video ty man..
Thank you! God bless ya
New sub! Awesome content thank you! My son wants to get into archery so looking at either sb-1 or cruzer g2. Now what about best beginner bow for an adult? Maybe for a short adult? Lol. I've done quite a bit of research but am having such a hard time finding a lower priced bow that fits a 25.5 inch draw. Are you familiar at all with bowtech btx 28? Thanks for all your great videos!
Actually the two bows you mentioned work well for adults too. I have a diamond edge 320 as a backup bow.
I've got a 30.5inch draw can any of these accommodate for that?
Diamond Edge 320 and the Dragon X8.
i have a very beginner question, is adjusting the draw weight and length mutually exclusive? I was under the impression you could adjust each independently, put the length to where you like it then put the weight you like but the weight/length chart is confusing me
As you reduce draw weight, it can also lengthen draw length. It will depend on the make and model how much that change will be.
@@seansoutdoors Thanks Sea. How interchangeable are accessories? Are they fairly general or do you need to make sure you're buying a stabilizer/sight/etc to fit your model?
@@benwilliams3539 Yes, very interchangeable.
Sean, on one of your videos it gives the link to all the videos with scriptures for the Dec 1st giveaway. Which video is? I was watching them in order but now I can't find the link.
Disregard Thai post, I found it and it's this video. lol
Here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL-rtLON_MVhP3tUtbwiGdfT1qEs596pWv.html
I very much appreciate your objective data when comparing these products against each other. But since you have so much knowledge and EXPERIENCE I would also like to get your subjective input on some of these bows, which ones "feel" better to shoot in your opinion. The specs make the SB1 a better bow, but if it grouped the same as the cruzer g2, which would you prefer to shoot all day?
If I was buying it for myself, I'd buy the sb1. In fact I bought myself an edge 320 as my backup bow because the sb1 doesn't go to my draw length and I wanted a spare bow in case of an emergency and something happed to my main bow
@@seansoutdoors thanks so much for taking the time to make your videos and reply to comments! I'll look into the SB-1. I know my draw is around 30", so hopefully it'll work out!
I got one leader acessories 55lb
Any chance of a performance review on that bow?
Looking for hog hunting with it any tips would be amazing
I don't have one to do a review with. I gave mine away years ago.
Love your channel.
Can you recommend a good youth starter bow? I know an 11 year old who is interested. I shoot compound and recurve and I’m not sure which direction to start. I love them all. Less than 300 set up with accessories including a decent 6 pack of arrows to start with.
For less than 300 you may want to start the person with a recurve. There are many that have removable limbs so you can get heavier poundage limbs as the child grows. As far as brand, I’d say any will work. I know PSE have some recurve bows for beginners a little over $100.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures Thank you and thanks for the scriptures 👍
Why for beginners? I love my sb1, I'll probably get shot for saying this but I prefer it over my hoyt, and I've actually sold it and kept the diamond. Its amazing
Well most beginners want a package bow and something that won’t break the bank, so that’s why.
@@seansoutdoors no I get it. I'm just blown away by how great this thing shoots and feels, the weight adjustability everything. I dont know that I'll buy another bow. Been wanting a triax for awhile but its heavier by alot, and almost x3 as much. Doing spot and stock with that would get old, and fast. Anywho...as always I love your videos and value your input.
@@nthekitchen162 Thanks, Albert. God bless ya
Nice bows for sure
Yup
Am I too late for the free bow 😂 thank you for the awesome videos will be buying my first bow thanks to you sir.
New giveaway every week
So what now should I actually get the sn1 or stinger x
Both will serve your needs
I think I’m going pse simply because of the solo cam. Thank you and you got a new subscriber today buddy
GO- JOE pse stinger is the way to go.
my PSE stinger has been good to me as a newbie
Great
You clearly know very much about archery, and I really appreciate that you share that knowledge. But I think your basis for your choice of best beginner bow, in this video, is bad. It seems to be entirely "higher draw weight is better". So it seems if there was a beginner bow that could go up to 80 pounds, you'd recommend that one. Why? Who needs that? For each draw length, you pick the bow that has the highest draw weight. And then of course with the higher draw weight, it has a higher arrow speed. I'm not sure you use the word efficiency in this video, but efficiency would be arrow speed divided by the effort required to draw the bow (which might be roughly proportional to peak draw weight).
This only makes sense if there are commonly people with a draw length of 19" who ever need a draw weight over 48 pounds. Or have a draw length of 24" and need a draw weight over 59 pounds, just as a couple examples from your data. How common is that? This is a sincere question, I don't know much about these things, but it seems unlikely to me.
Again, I do really appreciate the video, and especially your measurement and presentation of actual data.
If one bow holds it's speed as the draw weight drops, that means it is doing a better job transferring the energy into the arrow. That means it is performing better than the bow it is being compared to at the same draw weight yet is delivering lower arrow speed because it is not doing as good of a job transferring the energy into the arrow. The point of the comparison is so that an individual can look at the data that was delivered at his or her draw weight and see which bow performed best. That is why I tested all of these bows at all of the draw lengths. The bow that performed the best out of these tests is what I named as the best bow. It was strictly based on the results of the testing and data acquired. I hope that helps you understand why one bow was named better than another. Comparing bows based on opinion and not data isn't too helpful for people who are trying to make a buying decision, which is why I ran the tests I did and then reported the data acquired. I'd suggest that if you don't like the way I do these types of videos then maybe skip over mine when you see them pop up and look for someone else who is delivering what you are looking for in a review video. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors yes, but I don't think you ever compared speed to draw weight? I appreciate the response.
@@DarxusC All the bows were tested at the max draw weight setting at each draw length. With these bows, the draw weight decreases as the draw length is decreased. There is a correlation between the efficiency of each bow at each draw length, which also changes in draw weight. The data accumulated from testing each bow at peak weight at each draw length (which was decreasing in draw weight as the draw length deceased) was then compared to see which bow gave the best performance. That bow was then singled out as better. Thus, the bow draw length and draw weight were both part of the testing process and conclusion. To see all of the added data that was accumulated for the comparison, view the individual reviews. I did not restate every detail of the individual review in this video as this was just a summary video. However, all of the details mentioned were taken into consideration for these results. www.seansoutdooradventures.com/seans-reviews/
Hey Sean, I can’t decide between the Hoyt clash and the SB-1, any advice and key points I should look at
I like the SB1 but i haven’t shot that Hoyt
Hey buddy love your vids, I’ve got 2x compound bows, a 55lbs apex hunting one and a 75pound horizon-zone aribourne, would like to do target shooting and I’ve got a 4x sight on it. Just not to sure exactly the best way to start setting it up. Could I get your email and could you please help me out.!
You can email me through the contact page of my website www.seansoutdooradventures.com
God bless you.
With all the data what do you think is the best bow for beginnerz
For price, the dragon x8.
for states in the entry level bows but a little more expensive the Diamond edge sb1
@@seansoutdoors I shot the Mission switch today and I was very impressed
@@jacksonrichards3558 I shot it last year, ua-cam.com/video/AGdMIbJAzQU/v-deo.html it was okay.
Hold up, didn't you quickly unbox a 320 the other day ?
I received the 320 after I aired this video. Check the dates.
@@seansoutdoors my bad Sean. I just watch the videos as and when they come up on my tablet.
The best bow for a beginner is the one you take out and practice with daily.
Yup
Can you do a review on the Diamond Edge 320? Also, I see both are still available in the market and on Diamond's archery website but I was told the Edge 320 will replace the Edge SB-1 but I am not sure if that's accurate. Thanks for all your hard work bro.
I just bought one to be able to do a review on it. I am not sure how soon I will have time to do it, but I will be doing it in the near future.
Thanks Sean
@@seansoutdoors I'll wait for your review on it before making my decision between the Diamond Edge 320 or the Diamond Edge SB1. Thanks.
@@giulianoMX Okay, thanks. I hope to get to it within a couple weeks. God bless you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures sounds like a plan, thanks and god bless you as well.
God Bless!
Thanks you too
Actually if you say date too it would be very helpfull just to organize it ^^

@@seansoutdoors Eee... a joke? -.-'
What I meant was... If during giveaway you will say for example ''video XYZ from 12th June'' It will be easier to find this video by date and answer question.
@@poland_stronk3044 The reason I am not using dates is that I do a lot of scheduled uploads. The upload date and published date are different, and I didn't want that turning into a big controversy, hence, no dates.
Beginner? The Mission Switch has been around for years under different names. Having draw weights up above 40 is not the place to start a young shooter. The bow changes draw lengths in less than a minute. It has a lifetime warranty. Shoots well. Poundage at different draw lengths is meaningless to a beginning shooter. Arrow speed is meaningless to a beginning shooter. Developing an archer is not based on equipment specs.
"It's the Indian, not the arrow."
👍
Mission radik
enjoy it
Omg Jesus watches your videos??? 😁
Seriously thanks
Thanks for watching, Johnny. God bless ya
Sorry Sean, but for me, the moment you start talking about things like scripture, that's when all credibility just flies out the window.
How does knowledge of scripture remove credibility from anything?
