A bow that is strung produces a lot of tension on the limbs. If you leave a bow strung for an extended period of time, the tension on the limbs will cause them to warp and potentially break. It is best to unstring your bow when you are not using it and to store it in a cool, dry place.
A compound bow is a bow that uses a system of pulleys and cables to bend the limbs, which store more energy than traditional bows. This makes compound bows much more powerful than other types of bows, making them ideal for hunting.
As with any piece of equipment that experiences regular use, compound bows will eventually show some wear and tear. This is normal and to be expected. However, if a bow is properly cared for, it should not experience any significant weakening over time. Proper care of a compound bow includes regularly checking and tightening all screws and bolts, as well as waxing the strings. Additionally, it is important to inspect the limbs and riser for any cracks or other damage. If any damage is found, it is best to have the bow repaired by a qualified technician. With proper
When choosing a compound bow, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you need to decide what you will be using the bow for. If you plan on using it for hunting, you will need a bow that is powerful enough to take down game. If you plan on using it for target practice, you will need a bow that is accurate and has a smooth draw. Second, you need to decide what size bow you need. If you are a smaller person, you will need a smaller bow. If you are a larger person, you will need a larger

For my son, who is 9 years old, I bought this. He also had another bow, which was more of a toy and I believe it was named Barnett. I debated whether to purchase a Bear Cruzer or Bear Cruzer lite. This one was mine (I have a Cruzer myself). It's good that the axle to axle distance is a little less. This bow definitely fits him well and will develop with him despite the shorter draw length and lower maximum weight. Because there was some lean, I slightly altered the cams. Along with changing the peek for him, I sited everything. I've been able to reliably hit the bullseye from 30 yards out, even with a light draw. Additionally, altering the draw weight and length was simple.

The instructor at my grandson's archery class greatly recommended this bow, so I bought it for him. In the majority of archery classes, this sort of bow is used to teach archery. I'll admit that I don't really know much about archery. My grandson uses a right-handed bow since he is right-handed. My grandson's first archery session proved to us that I was mistaken; the instructor found that, despite being right handed, my grandson is left eye dominant, which is the deciding element in archery. I wish I had known this before I gave him a right-handed bow. Well, I fixed that oversight by getting him this bow, which is left-handed. I would advise anyone interested in taking up archery to speak with an experienced instructor FIRST to assist choose the best bow for them. I may have saved myself about $125 in the process. The bow in this kit is the identical kind that my grandson uses in his archery class, and it comes with everything you need. You receive the bow, 5 arrows, an arm guard that can be adjusted, a hip quiver, and 2 face targets on the back that you may use. After doing some research before making this purchase, I discovered that this Genisis Kit was less than any I could locate for the same thing. The lowest cost I could find elsewhere was $229, saving me $27.

This bow is lovely, the color is fantastic, and my 8-year-old son says he likes it. I say "like" because we bought it for him for Christmas and discovered once we got it home that his frail, lanky arms couldn't support it. It's back to his fiberglass recurve for the time being. Since the riser is made entirely of aluminum, this bow weighs more than I had anticipated. I considered cutting some metal and making holes for lighter metal to reduce the weight, but I decided he will only utilize it once he becomes bigger and stronger. As a grown man, the weight is unimportant, but when I purchased it, I neglected to act like an 8-year-old. He could definitely grip the model below this one (the Mini Pro? ), but I prefer this one because of the wide draw weight (10-20 lbs.)He has no trouble drawing the bow; but, he is unable to support it by himself. We will eventually return to this one again as he continues to learn on his recurve. No regrets, excellent bow, sturdy design, and suggested because it can be used by the entire family (as long as they can hold it up).

I feel conflicted about this bow. Overall, I agree with the good points that other reviewers have already made, such as how easily the draw weights can be adjusted and how well it suits a wide range of draw lengths. This review would receive a perfect five stars if I stopped there. Overall, it's not too awful for the price, but if you fire frequently, you'll probably find yourself replacing or upgrading parts sooner rather than later. The provided Tundra site is at best appalling, the two string silencers that came with my bow snapped off after about a month, and I didn't find the 5" Octane stabilizer to be any more efficient than shooting without any stabilizer at all. Like I said, I can't really complain considering the price point, but now my "I love it" just becomes "it's okay."Then I say, "I detest it." The other day, as I released an arrow with a draw weight of 65 lbs, a cam pin sheared off the top cam. I ended up with a sheared upper cam, a bent lower cam, a broken nock on my arrow, and a torn string after this exciting and stressful event. I must admit that I wasn't overly excited. In order to find out if something like this would be covered under the guarantee, I got in touch with Bowtech, the company that makes Diamond Archery. I learned, much to my dismay, that any of their items acquired through a third party distributor like Amazon or eBay are not covered by warranties for a variety of very moving reasons, all of which I could completely concur with.Now, the fact that the guys at Bowtech truly went above and beyond to fix my bow when I contacted them is why I'm still giving this product four stars. The employee I interacted with was very kind and paid for my repairs even though the company's policy said that my bow was not covered by a warranty. He personally communicated with the nearby authorized dealer I took the bow to for repairs, and he had my bow working again in a matter of days. I'll end this with a "I like it" because of that. I am really grateful for how Bowtech handled the problem because providing excellent customer service is quickly becoming a forgotten art.

I looked around a lot before settling on this bow because of how well-reviewed it was and what I considered to be a reasonable entry-level price. Additionally, it seems that any previous customers who may have experienced issues with this bow have received excellent customer support, which is very significant to me. I at least knew I would have 30 days to return it if I didn't like it. I'm happy to say that I don't.I went to Scheels the same day I bought the bow to have it properly set up, which is essential. The kid there measured my armspan to make sure it would be set at the right draw length, something I had not even thought of, and checked to make sure there were no obvious problems. So they installed the sight, arrow rest, and arrow holder on the bow for me before allowing me to fire a few shots to make sure it was properly sighted. We also reduced the draw weight to 50 pounds, a weight that is an excellent place to start when developing good draw form. At the store, I purchased some additional accessories, but I wasn't even charged for the bow tuning. Visit a professional; it will be well worth it.It can be transported legally in your state if you use a Plano Protector Compact case, which you might need.Last but not least, if you're buying this bow, odds are good that it's your first compound. I was aware that a compound bow should never be dry fired, but I was unaware that poor form could cause a bow to derail. Both are simple to avoid, but you need learn about derailment so you can handle and fire the bow with the correct technique.The limb adjustment bolts are difficult to turn, as noted in some reviews, and I can attest to that. One of mine adjusts without much effort, but the other needs a lot of force when it is close to the maximum draw weight.Although I am very delighted with it so far, I will update this review if I encounter any other problems.

These 35 pound limbs are fantastic for developing your form and for small flu-flu gaming, provided you own a Samick Sage or another of Samick's risers that will accept them (I believe Polaris uses the same limb pockets). The ones I received fit perfectly and squarely. They didn't need any modification or work for the riser to accept them. The draw is easy, and neither pinching nor stacking present an issue (I shoot three under with a tab). I should point out that I don't quite reach the specified or rated draw length because my draw is 27- 3/4 inches. When tuned properly and given some damping, the Samick performs admirably and competes favorably with more expensive rivals. These are not as "all weather" as I would like, which is my only "gripe" and the reason I reduced the rating by one star. Once exposed to water, the metal is very prone to rusting. Rust appears very quickly after a little rain, snow, or condensation. Although the limbs themselves do not appear to be swelling or delaminating at this time, the corrosion problem cannot be disregarded. The bow can be easily disassembled and set up to warm and dry next to a heater at the end of the day. The fixtures will stay new if you apply some WD-40 to the metal, paying special attention to threaded surfaces. Update: A few months after writing this review, a fellow archer who recently commented on this review and another archer suggested using microcrystalline wax to better weatherproof my bow. For these uses, WD-40 has limitations, and wax has taken its place. Additionally, I successfully cerakote the metal parts that are exposed on the outside.) This setup wouldn't be my first choice if I were planning to spend a week or a month away from home and the comforts of my home base in the field. This rig with these limbs represents a great value for people who go home every night. The Samick Sage, with these limbs, is my go-to for afternoon forays outdoors in search of grouse and bunnies. This is the equivalent of the "truck gun" in the world of archery, and it has made some serious stew for us. This is a reasonable price for a quality item.

ideal bow I am definitely the owner. At 70 yards, I'm hitting a quarter-size bullseye with every shot that is absolutely consistent and on target. Using only a black light to illuminate the target in the dark, six out of eight arrows hit their target. The bow is quite lightweight, making it simple to carry during spot-and-stalk hunting. Even without dampeners between the limbs, the draw is incredibly smooth and the release is incredibly silent. The G2 rth setup that it came with was excellent, and it was ready to hunt right out of the box. The only thing I changed was a whisker biscuit biscuit since I wasn't a big lover of it, and they replaced it with a drop rest. They are flying at an unbelievable velocity, and when my next hunt rolls around, I can see most, if not all, of my arrows making clean through and through shots. I shot in a full 70 pound at a 30-inch draw length. I would suggest this bow to anyone seeking for a nice quality bow with a mid-range price that doesn't appear like it would malfunction. After 5000–7000 shops, my final three compound bows started to wear down and simply fell apart. I accomplish this in one to two months because I have a 70-yard range in my backyard, I run my own businesses out of my home, and I shoot 10 to 20 arrows every hour or so. I also spend an hour every morning in Mile Square Park firing at least 200 shots down range. I've never been able to group my arrows so tightly on the target that I had to aim at different parts of the target just to avoid hitting my first shot.

Giving it 4 stars overall by awarding it 3 stars for finish and 5 stars for value and performance.I originally bought a Barnett Vortex Lite for my son's 11th birthday, but after using it, I realized that he wouldn't be able to use it for very long and would shortly outgrow its capabilities. I chose this one after doing some research because of its wide draw length and weight ranges. He can use it now and into maturity and most likely never outgrow it.When it first arrived, I examined it and wasn't too pleased with the finish because there were several chipped and damaged areas on the bow (see pics). It didn't appear that the packaging had been altered in any way, so I'm assuming that it wasn't a return and that it was just left at the factory after being packaged. Although the damage was small, I opted to retain it and try to fix it up with a black marker instead of returning it.Since the provided arrow rest is poor, I installed a D loop and a brush capture arrow rest before firing it (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NJ1RGK4/ref=oh aui detailpage o04 s00?ie=UTF8

I very recently purchased this bow. Arrived on schedule and was quite well packed. I held off on writing a review until after I had used it for a few weeks. I haven't used a bow or gone hunting in 20 years. Right out of the box, the bow impressed me. The arrow rest and sight are trash, but the bow is excellent. On Amazon, I paid $26 for a biscuit arrow rest, sight, and stabilizer combination. They are excellent, which also impresses me.The bow was pre-set to draw at 29 inches. Adjusting the draw length couldn't be simpler. It is as easy as taking out the screws. in addition to adjusting for the appropriate draw length. I should warn you that the screws will come loose on you. Before you reinstall them, I advise using Teflon tape or Loc Tight.An intriguing observation regarding draw length. Despite the bow's listed draw range of 26 to 30, my bow includes an adjustment slot that goes up to 31 inches.Additionally, the bow was pre-set to have a maximum draw weight of 70 pounds. In my opinion, there is no justification for maintaining that weight. The draw weight was decreased to 60 pounds. There are instructions on how to adjust the draw weight, but the guidelines did not specify what the beginning weight was, thus I was unaware of it. I delivered it to Bass Pro so they could check it out with their gauge. While I was there, I had it set to 60 pounds to be sure it would be at 60 pounds. Free bass pro dosage that.In addition, I had a D Loop and a peep sight added while I was there.

It's smooth, quiet, and maintaining draw is simple because to the break. It is also quite potent in my opinion. The spike was protruding from the back of a piece of 1/2 inch OSB at 20 yards as it tore through a hay bail. I constructed a target consisting of 12 layers of taped-together box cardboard. It continues on past that and passes through the hay approximately 3/4 of the way.I'm using blackout arrows called x5 Envy that were actually created by Rage. With a 100 grain field point, cut at 32 inches.The second pin on my sight is only a fraction of an inch lower at 30 yards than it is at 20 yards. Another 40 yards, or 1/8 of an inch.I believe that this bow can penetrate a deer at 30 yards with an arrow bearing a 100 grain broadhead. When I take it hunting in approximately three weeks, we'll find out.

Well, I never even considered purchasing this. I therefore kept it in my storage for around two weeks. I took it out of the box and showed it to my grandchildren when they came to visit for a vacation. Our time spent together in the woods was wonderful. Archery was so much fun for us. It's easy to use even for beginners, making it excellent for practise. Regarding quality, it's nice.
There are a few ways to determine your bow's draw weight. The most common way is to simply pull the bowstring back to full draw. The draw weight will be the amount of pressure required to hold the string at full draw. Another way to determine your bow's draw weight is to use a draw weight scale. This is a device that attaches to the bow and measures the amount of force required to draw the bowstring back. Finally, you can also ask a professional archer or bowyer to help you determine your bow's draw weight.
Compound bows are built to last, with many models easily lasting for 10+ years with proper care. Some of the higher-end models may even last 20 years or more. The key to making your compound bow last is to properly maintain it. This means regularly cleaning and lubricating the bow, as well as getting it serviced by a qualified technician every few years.
A good quality compound bow can cost anywhere from $200-$1000. The price will depend on the brand, quality, and features. Some features that can affect the price include: adjustable draw weight, adjustable draw length, vibration and noise reduction, and let-off.
Starting out in archery can be overwhelming because of all the choices in equipment. When it comes to compound bows, there is a wide range of prices. How much should you spend on your first bow? It is important to find a bow that is comfortable for you to shoot. The draw weight and length should be appropriate for your size and strength. If you can, try out a few different bows before you make your purchase. Once you have found a bow that feels good, the next step is to find one that fits your budget. You can find quality compound bows
There are three types of archery: target, field, and 3D. Target archery is the most popular type of archery. It is done at a range with targets at different distances. Field archery is done in an outdoor setting with natural terrain and obstacles. 3D archery is done with life-size targets of animals in a wooded area.
