Diamond bows
« on: May 28, 2015, 05:07:52 PM »
Whats your favorite diamond bow.. Or does anyone shoot diamond? I was given the information that the infinite edge pro would fit my bill. I have only hunted one year with a compound. Will be hunting turkeys and elk. Any thoughts? I also like the 30 to 31 inch draw length. That is what I was comfortable with on my recurve and the compound I borrowed.

I own the Diamond Infinite Edge. I have been shooting it for over a year now bought it brand new ready to shoot in Dec 2013 for roughly $500. Currently have it set up for instinctive shooting. Decided to drop the sight and release after being inspired by Tim Wells for years now. I love it and dont plan on going back. Great bow for the buck. Very durable been put through a lot.

for the same $ 500 range you can get a hoyt charger, it is a hoyt, not bowtechs leftovers and a much better bow for the price... just something to consider.

I shoot an older Diamond and have liked it. I am looking to upgrade but still have no complaints with my bow. I have "the rock"

Thanks for an answer. Just got word that diamond redid the infinite edge this year,,, the pro model. And redesigned the cam, for total smoothness. And lenthened the draw to 31 inch. May be exactly what I need...

I have the infinite edge and i can shoot darts with it. only thing i dont like is the drawstop uses the cables instead of a solid surface. It can get a little spongy. got mine for 300 on amazon.

I picked up a Carbon Cure this year to play around with and so far have been very happy.

I think what he's saying is Diamond is Bowtech's more budget friendly line....kind of like Reflex is to Hoyt. Their lower end line of bows.
Not actually "leftovers" per se.

had the Diamond Infinite Edge... real good beginner/starter bow... with it's broad adjustments for draw and poundage it will grow with you...  downside is spongy backwall and low speeds, and after upgrading the rest and sites costs as much as a better bow...  gave mine to my grandson to learn with and got myself a new Hoyt

also the diamond line is a solo cam and bow tech are two can bows.   And are definitely not left over parts
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

I hear a lot about cams, and I was not sure what it all meant, I found a good sight that explains the difference. And may help others understand. Here is the link.   http://www.huntersfriend.com/_help_popups/whatsthis12.htm
So reading this, and searching a little more, it seems that the infinite edge and infinite edge pro, both have dual cams. Am I right?
