Diamond Edge SB-1 Review and Basic Tuning for Beginners
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2016
- This video provides a review along with a few basic tuning methods for compound bows. However, the one center shot method I use on most compound bows, and also show in this video, doesn't work for the SB-1. I often tape a thin rope to the limb bolts and use a cut arrow to find center, but there is an offset with the cam on the SB-1 that prevents this method from working on the SB-1. Instead, just use the measure off the riser method depicted, and then do walk back tuning. Also, I don't think the Chronograph speeds were as accurate as they could have been because the lighting wasn't good enough for the sensors. If or when I get some time I will redo this video, adjusting those two things.
You can order one of these bows through this link amzn.to/2sJ5B1b

Awesome awesome video and very well executed!!! I'm going to be getting this bow soon, although not a beginner archer but I like the ability for all the adjustments, bad shoulder means lower pounds for now. Subscribed and thanks for the review
That is great. I really like this bow for what it can do, and a lot of people who have bought it after watching this video have written to me telling me how much they are loving it, so I hope that your experience will be like theirs.
God bless ya.
Sean
I was in the same boat with the shoulder. I went to a local archery pro shop and tried a 45 lb draw and shoulder sounded like rice crispies. So I ended up putting money down on this bow hoping I can build up my draw weight strength.
I wonder if you have some torn or damaged cartilage in your shoulder. Be careful if you are having pain with it. God bless ya.
I might from lifting weights when I was younger.
Great video ...I have to say I'm very impressed with the video and I have learned a lot with new techniques and simple tricks that can make you that much more on point with your shot.. I like the string trick very good and helps to be very accurate with arrow rest.. explaining detail and showing what you're talking about helps me and others understand if they are beginners or getting back into it and forgot a lot like I have.. I bought this bow for my son for Christmas and was out of the game for quite some time... now that he is older he is very involved and I want to make sure I'm properly teaching him the things that he needs to know and myself ..so thank you
I like this guy because he seems to be knowing what he is doing unlike some other bow yt,which is exactly why i subed.keep up the good work

Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. I actually responded to comment years ago, but ALL of my replies were deleted when changing the main email on my account, ugh. Anyway, I am going back through and re-replying to all old comments so they stop popping up in the unanswered post column of my UA-cam studio. As you can see, I included some links to my website and social media links in case you are interested in checking any of it out. Thanks for your patience with this process. God bless you.
I'm only a beginner 37 years old woman Ireland haven't bought a Bow yet, but I have to say your videos are so detailed, packed with great information and best of all you love Jesus 🌾 thank you Sean.. New Sub
Amen, praise Jesus! thanks so much.
I'm a newbie archer and I was looking for reviews for this bow, the first one I'm gonna buy (and actually bought): I found out your review as the most complete, comprehensive and useful I could find, plus you didn't just shot it and list pro and cons, but you made a 30+ minutes of suggestions, testings, tips and so on. Instant subscribe for me, as I found out almost all your contents are of the same quality. I will surely follow your video and comment tips as soon as I get my bow. Kudos for your work, I will also check out your book sooner
Thanks, glad you found this helpful. I appreciate you wanting to check out others as well. God bless you!
Kinda reminds me buying my first Diamond Razor Edge in a big box shop. I had little clue on compound bows and their setup, so I asked them to set it up... Long story short, no one arrow lunched for testing and my first dozen xx75 been toast within a week of being back home. With no shop close by now to correct it then, I found your early tuning videos Sean and some others to learn from. Today I make my own pre-stretched strings and such. Bless you for your videos Sean!
Cool, thanks for sharing. God bless ya
By far the best review Ive seen for this bow. And your tuning insight was great. I just bought this bow for my 12yo that is starting out in Archery. I bought it at Cabela's and they were helpful and set him up, but this video shows us plenty more that we can apply as he grows. Thank you for posting this. You have 2 new subscribers!

I just wanted to let you know that your videos have taught me a lot. I’m wanting to get into bow hunting and my wife just bought me this bow for Christmas. Loving it so far, can’t wait for next years deer season. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much. Glad they are helpful. God bless you.
Love this review! I just purchased this bow as my first compound bow, and came across your video while waiting for it to arrive. I’m a new, smaller female archer and all of my research led me to this bow. But I loved seeing someone’s unbiased opinion and all of the detail you put into this! Thank you!
Great
Great video. I'm getting back in archery after being away for years (I used to shoot recurves) and bought this bow today as my entrance into compound bows. Things have changer so much in the last 30 years and your videos are invaluable to me. God Bless!
Thanks, God bless you too!
Dear Sean thank you very much for your quick reply. I am watching the one you done on a diamond Edge SB-1 right now. as I am typing this obviously I had to pause the video! I love watching your channel because of your unbiased opinion on all the different bows out there. ( I'm so jealous of all your the bows behind you on your wall ) God bless you sir
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate you watching, and I hope you continue to find the videos helpful. God bless you!
I am impressed. Very...very great review. I usually find bow reviews boring but this one was packet full of informative information and I watched and listened to everything. Great job Sean. Keep up the great work.

Finally a channel with no fluff. All related content. Not talking about his kids haircut or some other nonsense. And he know his stuff.
Thanks! God bless you
Thanks for your lesson. I tried your method and it works perfectly for me. Now I shoot with arrows grouping closely together. You're a great teacher in fine tuning a compound bow for accuracy.
That's great. Thanks
Truly enjoyed this video. Very helpful and to the point. I seriously feel more comfortable buying my first bow he reassured me that i should not only find the right bow on a budget but also adjust everything properly even double check if i decide to seek help from a proshop. Seriously appropriate the video.
God bless from Oregon
Great, glad it was helpful. God bless you, Andrew.
it seems almost every time a question occurred to me you immediately answered it. Great instruction. I'm subscribed. Thanks.
Great, I anticipated well then
Very informative video! I like the string for alignment. LOL am 65 and have my bow down to 50# because everything changes when it gets cold out. You hit this video out of the ballpark Sean. Blessings.... Thumbs up on your book also, a great read!
Yes, however I am thinking about waiting a few weeks before I hit the stands because of the weather still being warm. However I never miss an opening day! LOL

Really like the detailed videos.. every detail matters to someone that has no idea about the subject. Most guys just go into entry level detail just to get the view count on youtube but your videos are so much more educational. Greatly appreciate you taking the time it takes to create this good of content
Thanks Rocky! God bless ya
Thank you for making this video. I just ordered this same bow, and I look forward to setting it up using your tips and tricks. Thanks again, shoot straight!!
Thanks. The string on limb bolt trick doesn’t work well for this bow. Best to measure off of the riser as I talked about in my latest video on this bow ua-cam.com/video/bLJqrqW98p8/v-deo.html
This was a very helpful review. I'm trying to get into archery before this years deer season so I have time to practice shooting and tuning my bow. I think this is the bow I am going to purchase. Thanks for an honest review, love this channel, very informative.
You are welcome. God bless you.
Sir. Thank you very much for this video, I'm new to archery but i love to DIY almost everything I own. I just finished the whole video and after this comment I will look on the video for "how to tune this diamond bow". You got yourself a new subscriber and a fan!
Check out the newer video I made on it
sean, really like your videos , bought a diamond infinite edge from a dealer for my son and after watching your setup videos found alot of the setting to be wrong, so great job
Thanks, Tad. Enjoy it and time with your son. God bless you.
Thanks for the review. I just bought it today from BPS. Love the draw. The bow tech was done setting up within a few minutes and already was having the first pins set at 10 and 20 yards within a half hour.
Enjoy it. God bless ya.
Thanks for taking your time to explain all the points of turning a compound bow in this video. I have been shooting receive bows for sometime now. I recently bought a bear cruzer. And I have been thinking about buying the edge sb 1 this really helped a lot. Again thanks a bunch. God bless.

My girlfriend gave me this bow for my birthday. Super awesome bow. I'm shooting it this weekend. God bless you brother. I'm a big believer as well 🙏🏻
Praise God, thanks and same to you.
Thanks Sean, I bought this bow today based on your review, and others. I am fairly new to archery, and looking forward to learning a lot. This review and video were great and super informative.
That is great, Steve. I'm glad this helped. Good luck with the new bow! Enjoy it and God bless ya
Wish i had watched this when I started with a compound bow 20 years ago. Really great work, the only thing that upsets me is that there are 55 people and counting who don't think so.
Thanks
I’ve been bow hunting for 25 years now. My lady picked this bow for each us. I love this bow for more reasons than what was stated here, and it works very darn well. His crony numbers are bang on, but the best part is this bow makes its best speeds at around the 60 lb mark. I shoot mine at 70 lbs, but not significant gains from 60-70 lbs. It’s efficient power, and may help with arrow selections, knowing this.
This guy is practical, and knowledgeable and gave it a fair review out of the box. I was not aware of the 350 gr arrow minimum. I’m shooting about 410 gr. Thanks.
I’m guilty of splitting my string incorrect to install peeps, but didn’t dawn on me to find the true half/centre on my black string bows. Coloured strings are visually easy.
The tip about the string check, centre shot was priceless to me. We both fly a lot with our bows, and have had things banged out of adjustment. This gets frustrating when I show up at an event, ready to shoot.... a quick check, saves missed shots.
We both have the blue twig pattern bows, I use mine successfully in the field for few years. It’s not my only bow, but it is my go to bow.
At 4 lbs w arrows, any kid, and lady can carry and hold it. When she told me the specs, I couldn’t believe a min of 7 lbs draw. And up to 70.... 15-30 inch draw, even she was in. It’s almost criminal how mesmerized the animals get when they see the colour.
I found this , looking how to adjust the timing. I got my answer.
Again, excellent out of the box tutorial, and set up procedures/tips.
Thank you!!!
Fantastic review. I'm in my mid 40s and just now starting off with archery. My intent is to get to the point where I can ethically archery hunt deer out here in Virginia. (I have always hunted in my home state of Wyoming where rifles are the norm and public lands with no urban areas abound.) I bought this bow after some research and trying several out at Cabela's (prior to discovering this vid).
Thank you, Sean, for your wonderful review! I know far more about my bow now and what I need to keep in mind as I hone my skills thanks to this video. After watching this, I feel very good about my purchase and, while it may not be my last bow (or maybe it will), I definitely feel like this will serven me well on my first archery hunt this fall.
Mòran taing!
That is great. I do think this is a very good bow for people getting started out, and it is so versitile that you could easily share it with others if you decide to get something different in the future. Enjoy it and God bless you.
Really great video thank you I am teaching my children bow hunting in Hawaii and your videos are helping me do better myself and explain to them proper bow use and tuning much better. Mahalo
That is great! Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Brilliant review and loads of tuning tips which I'd be using from now on. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Hey Sean...another reply to another great video. You explain things so we(the average) can understand. That is the bow I purchased for my first venture into bowhunting and just practicing in general. Good bow for the price. Being older(50s) and small in stature5ft.6in., 140lbs., the bow fits me well and I love shooting it. Still much to learn...Thanks again
YOu are welcome, Eric. I'm so glad this was helpful. I try, lol. God bless you!
I am just getting into bow hunting, after being a gun only hunter for about 20 years. I went to Cabela's and "blindly" (after minor deliberation and suggestion from their pros) bought this exact Bow as my first ever Bow. I guess they did a good job at recommending the product, and in part I may have been lucky. I now want to go through my own evaluation of the degree to which the bow is tuned and correctly set. I wish in hindsight I would have come across this video and done a little bit more homework before I purchased, and would have been able to ask more relevant questions, although as I mentioned I think in the end I was lucky and came out OK.
I can honestly say your videos and instruction on not only archery and bow and related products, but on hunting strategy and experience, are absolutely the best. Your STYLE is so appreciated. Your honesty, tone of voice, and real guy approach comes across clearly and reflects your vast and deep experience in a way many try to deliver with an otherwise fake and acted approach. PLEASE, keep these up, I'll try to do my part in supporting your product (yourself) as much as possible... I just ordered your book from Amazon.
I can't get enough of your videos and have been "cramming" on knowledge and instruction.
Thanks again!
Yeah, it is a really good starter bow. You can hunt with it, make adjustments as you grow or modify your shooting style, etc. You should be good to go with it. God bless ya
The Same thing happened to me. I went into Cabelas having now experience, said I wanted a bow and the friendly people there recommended this bow. It's a good bow.
Great job you're doing out there. I've been atching you vids for a quite a long time since I'm looking for the best option for myself regarding a compound bow. Great great appreciation for all the detailed info + hints you're dropping. Stay safe you and your family, let the God keep His eyes over you all the time. Thanks brother!
Amen, praise Jesus. thanks for the comment. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors No trouble - the pleasure's all mine, praise Jesus. Actually, putting the archery aside, I am pleased to hear another catholic pronouncing such words as "Amen" or "praise Jesus" - in this world, where sometimes one comes to conclusions all the walues are long gone, including faith as well. Anyways, if I could be of any help let me know please - I'm completely new to archery and would rather call myself an ignorant in this area (which is why I am struggling making a decision between few different models of bows now) , however I am an experienced mechanical engineer - would be happy to help in any queries regarding my field of expertise. Stay safe and God bless you.
@@block672008 Amen, it is all about Jesus and His true presence in the Eucharist. John 6:51-59, praise Him!
I was already 80% in favor of this bow, and your video got me to the decision. Buying it tomorrow.
Great. I just bought one for my daughter and posting a video on it today.
found you videos a week ago love them thanks for all the info.
That is great, PBS, thanks so much! God bless you!
Super new to archery (Joe Rogan and Cam Hanes motivated me to get in on the sport) just bought this bow. Replaced the stabilizer with a longer and heavier one, the arrow rest to a whisker biscuit, and the sight to a single post sight. Set the poundage to 55lbs at a 28" draw length. Just working on my body mechanics and form and doing a lot of reps at the range. But overall, great little bow. Super accurate within 40 yards when my form holds up. Had a problem with peep rotation initially but I took it back to the pro shop where I bought it from (shout out to Strictly Archery in Shorewood, IL) and they took care of it for me. Just bought a 3D buck target to practice my critical shot placements and hopefully I'll get good enough to harvest my first deer with a bow this october. Great video! Keep Hammering!
Thanks so much for watching! God bless you!
Excellent tutorial! Very well done. Great help for somebody like me, trying to get into archery.

Thank you. Please watch the updated video using the following link because I improved a few tuning suggestions based on the offset can system used on this bow. ua-cam.com/video/bLJqrqW98p8/v-deo.html
Great review! My daughter got one of these bows, and she really likes it. I'm thinking of getting another one as a birthday present for my son, who is going to start hunting this year.
Awesome, they are a great bow for them. God bless you!
G'day from down under! Recently bought this bow (first bow) and found this video very helpful.
Very happy with the bow also. Thanks for the great video.
Great, glad to hear it. God bless you!
Your Details are amazing the way you put it over to us >> Thank You Sean !!
Thank you so much!
Great video, I'm very pleased with it and full of information. I'm currently looking into this bow. Thank you
Thanks
just bought this bow and looking forward to work with you/it while I learn my bow, thanks and god bless you sir.
Enjoy it. God bless you too.
I just purchased one of these, and I'm glad I watched this video. I especially like the parts about paper tuning and rest tuning. I'm not exactly new to archery, but I don't consider myself any sort of expert. I can shoot, and I shoot about 500 to 700 arrows per week. I do it because it's excellent exercise and I'm a butt ugly fat man. Thanks!
Lol, thanks for sharing, Leo. God bless ya.
Hi Sean, what a great video! Thanks for taking the time to talk through the set up. Really appreciate it.
My daughter,11, and I have just started archery.
Last year I bought her a bear compound apprentice. For her draw 25in, even though its an "adjustable" bow, the draw weight comes in at around 30lb . You can adjust the draw length, from 13-27inches,, just like the diamond sb-1, but then the weight is not adjustable independently. So for 25in its 30lb. Which is alot when your starting out & 11 years old!
I read the diamond sb-1 manual online and watched their videos, but I couldnt tell if this bow is truly indepedently adjustable for both draw length and draw weight. Would like 25in and 16lb(increasing from here both measurements gradually)
I really like the look of your book too. I hope it is available as an ebook as I am in Australia.
Thanks again for all you work, I have subscribed.
Have a lovely day. God Bless.
I think you may have to change the string configuration or something like that to get the lowest draw weights, I forget. Did you see the other videos I did on this bow?

This was my first bow a couple years ago but I sold it when we made a long move. Considering buying one second-hand again; I think I did pretty well with it as a beginner. Thanks for the great info!
You’re welcome. God bless ya
Sean, Glad you have this information out here. Haven't shot my bow in years nd now with the Compound Bows I need to get caught up. Just plan on target shooting but this is Great info. Thanks!
GREAT. God bless you
Great overview of the bow. I own this bow and really enjoyed your analysis.

I am considering getting a compound bow and been doing loads of research on ideal starting bows. This review was very good and pretty interesting seeing the tuning process. I am gonna keep this bow in mind. Also you look a lot like Nathan Fillion (high praise)
You should check out the bow review playlists on my channel as well as bow tuning videos. God bless you
Another great video, I recently subscribed and now I won't watch anyone else's videos. Not enough can be said about how thurough you are with your videos. I'm no beginner by no means but I'm getting back into bow hunting after a couple years off, sold my stuff so I could buy my gf a crossbow to get her into hunting. I'm looking at the Cruzer but like this bow as well, leaning towards the bear bc it seems to be easier to stay in tune. Money is tighter now than when I was single so hopefully I can win the giveaway, which would be so cool but I've never won anything so I'll m still saving my pennies. Thanks Sean,good luck hunting this year and God bless you and your family!
You never know, and there is a slight chance there is going to be another (extra) bow giveaway in the near future. We shall see.
This was a great review. I really appreciate all the detail that you add it. I am looking to purchase the 1st bow for my daughter who is 13 and I think this will be a great bow to start with
Great this will work well for that
I wish I had found this video couple months ago. I have Infinite Edge Pro but as someone who lives outside US (and have no access to pro shop)so self-learning how to tune the bow is not easy without someone to ask. This video is probably the most comprehensive video about the tuning of Diamond bow (I reckon SB-1 and Infinite Edge Pro is pretty close); I wish Diamond tutorial video is as comprehensive as this!

Thanks, Jeff. God bless you and enjoy the journey.
great video and great tips! I'm a new Bow hunter and trying to figure out this whole Massively/complicating compound bow world.
great, glad you found it helpful. God bless
Hey Sean, thanks for all your great videos!
This video pretty much sold me on the SB-1 as my first bow, which I went and purchased today! I’m a 42 year old brand new shooter and this bow is fantastic! After the pro shop helped me dial it in, I was hitting yellow quite consistently after about 15 arrows. I’m at the high end of this bow for draw length, right at 30” and it fits and feels perfect. Even at a 30” draw I’ve got the draw weight down to 44 lbs with 3 or 4 notches left in adjustment space.
I’m extremely happy! Thank you for this great review. It was a huge help, as have all your other vids I’ve watched!
Keep up the good work!
God bless brother.
Oh...how’s that polar vortex treating you in Iowa? I’m about 700 miles NW up in Canada and it’s COLD!! Lol
Thanks, and the polar vortex is hitting us hard! lol!
awesome video, i have this bow and i am looking forward to more videos on the sb1 from you.

Thanks so much! God bless you!
Love the video. I got one a bit ago and like it a lot. With the draw, the string was 29.5 inches, the d loop was at 30 inches.
Thanks for sharing. God bless ya
Great review and tuning tips! Thanks man and may Your God bless you :-)
I was in the process of buying my first compound bow and after some research and Your review about this Diamond Edge SB-1 I decided to buy it. I'm more than pleased with the bow, hands down great, and easy tuning. The only thing is, that bows made in the U.S.A (well, i guess almost all quality compounds are from US) use imperial units for allen scews/keys and I'm from Finland and we Europeans use metric system, so I need to get an inch-measured keys as i ordered my bow with perhaps ½" too long draw length (30"). It's allright even now, but perhaps it's too easy to start letting back the string while using the included Patriot release.
I'm in the process of liking each video i've watched from You and they are just plain awesome advice!
Going to the local archery club indoors shooting range today, sunday. I hope there's someone with a suitable allen key set so i can tune in my sight and shorten the draw lenght that ½".
One question though: do You think an anchor point with my forefinger knuckle behind my earlobe and the same knuckle connected to the back of my jawbone is allright? My other anchor point is my nose tip touching the string, then i can with relaxed ease look through the peep and the included sight fits just inside the peep inned diameter.
Well, forgot to mention I'm 40y and 191cm tall, and I've shot a real compound once or twice when i was a teenager. Other than that I've only shot a toy compound which has perhaps 10-15lb draw weight :D
As long as you can do that consistently, that may be an okay anchor. The only problem you may have is that your hand position will change if the strings and cables start to stretch after use, or if you have to get a new Dloop at some point and it isn't exactly the same length.
I went to the archery club today and i shortened the draw length ½" and it feels I can do it consistently now without stretching my arms. Perhaps, if the strings stretch or I get a longer d-loop just shorten the draw length accordingly. I guess the peep and sight needs to be adjusted accordingly then also, right? I'll try to keep this form and adjust the bow/sights if needed because this feels solid for me.
By the way, the archery club teacher was happily surprised that i had my bow adjusted to 45lb and not above (the max poundage for our club targets is 60lb) because usually people he knew start with too heavy poundage and wrestle with their compound, shooting a few shots and then get exhausted and go home :D Well, I had fun at the range and had no trouble with the draw for about an hour of shooting! :-)
Thank You for advice on your videos and for answering my question. A great sport this archery is! :D
Sounds good. It is definitely possible that there will need to be adjustments if the strings and cables stretch. God bless.
I've binged watched your videos recently and bought a SB-1 as a result, had to order it online with all my local shops being closed, but they took my draw weight and length and set it up even tied in the peep! It's my first compound and your videos have me hooked, I think the hardest part is finding a consistent anchor point, but with practice and your videos I have confidence. Thank you for all the videos you produce even older one's like this are of excellent quality and content... p.s. got too comfortable and found string slap hurts :D
Lol I remember the string slap days! God bless you.
Where did you buy it from that they set the peep up for you? I’m new and would rather have someone do it for me lol
@@timmorphew992 You will need to go in-person to a location to have someone set the peep up for you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures he just said wherever he ordered it installed it for him so?
@@timmorphew992 I guess you mean just put it in the string but not place it, tie it in and set it up. You can just lower the draw weight so low that you can put the peep in the string. Then you slide it up or down as needed.
That was an excellent review Sean.

Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. I actually responded to comment years ago, but ALL of my replies were deleted when changing the main email on my account, ugh. Anyway, I am going back through and re-replying to all old comments so they stop popping up in the unanswered post column of my UA-cam studio. As you can see, I included some links to my website and social media links in case you are interested in checking any of it out. Thanks for your patience with this process. God bless you.
Hi Sean,
Wanted to let you know I purchased my first compound bow - got the diamond infinite edge. Your video really influenced me on the purchase.
Great glad I was able to help
Thank you. I was not sure if this is the best bow for me, now I am.
They are a nice bow. I am going to be doing a number of videos with one in the near future. I set this bow up for a guy I work with and then ordered another. When it comes I will be doing some videos with it. God bless you.
Another great video, this is the bow I'm thinking about getting
Thanks! They are nice bows.
Amazing review and I just want to thank you for the time that you had taken to put this into great detail for beginner bow hunters. I am currently looking at purchasing this as my first bow and planning to just set up a hay bale and target out back and practice until I get good at that and just buy some deer targets and such. Do you believe there is another bow that is better in this price range or would this bow be plenty? Thanks. God Bless.
That is great, thanks for watching. I do think this is a good bow for the price. It has a great deal of versatility so if you decide to get something different later on then you could set this bow up for just about anyone at any age. Best of luck to you. God bless ya.
Sean
Thanks for the quick reply! Does this bow come with a release? Also could you recommend some good arrows for me just for some shooting into hay bales to get used to it and get good at my aim? Thanks. God bless you.
No, it does not come with a release. As for arrows, you would need to determine the draw weight you will be using first. Then you can order arrows rated for that draw weight. For beginner's arrows, and low draw weight, you should be okay with some of the less expensive types. If you want to hunt and are shooting at a higher draw weight, then you may want something a little better. I usually just get Easton or Gold Tip arrows, and I just go onto their website and put in the specs of what I am shooting and see what comes up on their recommendations.
Also, I'd encourage you to just get a bag target for shooting. Hay bails just don't hold up to today's compound bows. You are better off with at least a bag target and you could always put a hay bail behind it if you want or need. That's just my thoughts on it. God bless you.
Alright. Thank you. God bless you.
Sean, These manufacturers should be giving you the bows. Not just letting you test them. It's vital to their sales and you strengthen our understanding. Thank you.-Paul
Thanks so much, Paul! I appreciate the support. God bless you.

Perfect video. I'm a beginner archer and bought this bow. I'm waiting for it to arrive.
Great. I think they are nice bow for what they can do. Enjoy it.
Thank you. I almost went for a midrange Hoyt but I feel I should earn something like that with some dedication to the skill set first.
Sounds good. Enjoy it.
Bloody good Info and Explained very well >> Thank You !!
Thank you!
Spectacular video buddy! My girlfriend just got me this bow for my birthday and I'm super excited I was able to find such an in depth video on it as it's my first bow and I needed the info! Earned yourself a Sub! On a side note they fixed the problem you had with stance on their website.
THanks, Alex. Enjoy it! Glad they fixed their website. God bless ya.
God bless you as well! Would you recommend a particular budget Target to practice with?
Nothing specific. Various bag targets are descent for the money, but I don't have one in particular that I would recommend.
Extremely well made video

Thanks! God bless you.
GREAT video. Well done!
Thank you.
To be honest this guy is more educational ,and does things more better,and he makes it look easy.
Thank you
He sure is , but he shows you how easy it really is once you know how , rather than makes it look easy ! 😎❤️😎
Hi Sean. Looked for this video per your suggestion. Just a few comments: papertuning the bow with a Hostage rest is pretty much a futile effort. In my experience working at several pro shops, very rarely would a Hostage rest allow clean enough arrow flight to lend itself to a good hole through paper. This bow is also a binary cam bow, but I prefer dual cam bows with static yokes that allow for fine tuning centerflight. I've owned the Bowtech Guardian and 82nd Airborne, where I had to change cam spacers in order to get good, if not perfect, centerflight. As for checking centerflight, I have the original laser that mounts to the sight holes. Cables stops will allow you to overdraw the bow at lower poundages. When I set up a person's bow, I make sure the drawlength is perfect; the release is installed correctly on his/her wrist; and I teach him/her to stop pulling hard when they feel the bow's draw weight let off. I currently own 2 Destroyer 350s and an Infinite Edge Pro. I actually have fun with my IE Pro when I take it to the range and somebody comes up to me and starts making fun of me shooting a "kid's bow," and he's shooting a $1400 latest and greatest carbon bow. That's when I shut him up by dropping arrows into the 10-ring repeatedly with my tuned "kid's bow" with new string & cables that I built. LOL

Excellent video- thanks!!!
You are welcome. God bless you.
I'm very glade I come across your video... My buddy was talking me to get this bow as a starter for bow hunting which I am very new at... I've shot recurve in 7th&8th grade playing around... He said get the diamond infinite edge you use and tune it so your boys can practice jump back and forth...
What is your opinion on constantly adjusting between 2 settings???
It is a great bow for being able to use now and pass on to your children, but you wouldn't want to constantly be switching back and forth between two people now. You will have a huge headache with tuning and consistency. Every minute details impacts arrow flight ,and if you are close, but not precise in moving things, then the arrows will hit differently and you will drive yourself crazy not being able to shoot well. So, keep in mind that although it is a great bow and one that can be adjusted to fit a LARGE range of people, it should only be set up for one person at a time. For instance, set up for you now, and when you are ready to get a different bow, you can then set it up for your child... Hope that makes sense. God bless you.
Good stuff Sean....thanks, stay safe.
Thanks you too
Excellent tutorial!!!
thanks

Amazing review.
Thank you Wendy. God bless you.
Good advice specially for a beginner like me..thanks
Awesomeness
My first compound bow. I will say this. Use blue loctite on the draw stop plates. I had the screws work loose and actually lost one. Periodically check all the screws. I didn’t care for the stock rest and swapped it for a Ripcord Max micro. Other than that I love it!
Definitely a good idea
Great video once again. Now I’m torn between the Mathews Mission Hype DT and the Diamond Edge SB1... 😳 Beginner at 47 and fit!
Thanks. As far as being torn, don't worry. Both will serve you well. Just pick one and go with it.
great video!! keep up the awesome work.
Thank you! I intend to! God bless ya.
thanks for the great tips, i will make good use of them, great help
You are welcome. God bless you.
great video this may be my next bow
Great, glad you liked it. God bless ya
Great video. Thanks man
Sure thing. God bless you
Love your channel and this review, do you have any plans to review the new Diamond Edge 320 anytime soon?
Thanks. No but I’m about to film a really detailed series comparing this bow with the diamond infinite edge pro and the bear cruzer G2.
Is this bow better than the Bear Cruzer g2? or should I spend the extra money and get the Bowtech Convergence. These seem to be the 3 most adjustable bows I found. Any input would be appreciated.
Yes it is better ua-cam.com/video/buWDp1n73f8/v-deo.html
Hey that looks like my bow!!!!!! I love it
Great
Outstanding content. Subbed.
Thanks!!
