This is exactly the way a review video should be. Kudos!

Great video! I have a bit of analysis paralysis and you just helped me make up my mind for my first Bow package. Going with the Diamond Edge SB-1.

This is how reviews should be. Detailed and to the point. Thank you!

Thank you for your comprehensive and professionally done review. I recently decided to get back into archery after a 40 year gap and your review went a long way towards helping me make a purchasing decision. I found a dealership and purchased an Edge SB-1. It has a silky smooth draw and I am greatly enjoying using it. Of all the reviews I watched, yours are by the far, the best. Thank you.

Thanks mate, great video. This is the exact video i was looking for

You guys need to do more videos like this. I'd like to see an updated one once the ATA wraps up. Maybe an entry level and a mid level.

PSE Surge $300 bare bones, with $80 on a whisker biscuit and a 3 pin sight. $380 total and it's a great bow.

Outstanding video sir! Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christopher

This is a great mini-review, and it definitely gets a little closer to what I will actually spend on a bow. I have a Diamond Stud from a few years back that is a great shooter, it's good to see they are keeping up the solid work.

This vid was supper helpful. thanks!

top shelf review!!! Bonus when he mentions the bow shop ive used off an on , for 20 ish years!! ( yes they have used lol, Canadians be thrifty..... cheers

I bought the bear threat, I agree that it's aggressive off the shelf, but with a few upgrades like stabilizer bar, peep sight, pin sight, then the bow operates very well. I should also mention I added on a qad rest and constantly robin hood my cheap arrows. I pull at 70 pounds, which does require some muscles but I find the valley and back wall nice. In all it's a beast that needs taking, after that it becomes a nice bow!

I recently bought the Diamond Edge SB-1 and love it. I also have 2 Elite bows and 2 Obsession bows. I enjoy shooting the SB-1 more that the other 4.

The diamond edge pro is also a good bow, I've been shooting non stop for weeks now.. And I mean non stop, every day, most of the day... The bow does not disappoint

thanks for awesome review!

I just spent the money and bought a vxr..love it and am gonna have it for awhile..

Great video. I shoot a Diamond infinite Edge pro and am pretty satisfied with this lower end bow though, I do intend to change the sight.

great job, very informative and that helps with my decision. can't wait to take a deer with an SB1.

I bought my bear authority on clearance two years ago. It was a $499 package bow that id got for $349. I feel it fits into this category better than the $599 Threat, as bear has several package bows at $399-499, then seems to always have a $599-649 package to kinda bridge the gap between the entry level and the flagships.

Thank you for this video. I'm an older archer and was looking for a bow that is easy to draw and hold. After watching this video I found a Bowtech Fuel to tryout. I was immediately impressed and bought it that night and have not been sorry.

Nice video again, I like your channel, I'll show it to my friends

can you do a review on the bear cruzer g2

I just purchased a lefty Bowtech Fuel at a bargain price. I am just getting back into archery after 30+ years and changing sides as well to match my left eye dominance. Back then I had a RH 42# recurve with aluminum / cedar shafts. Wow, has technology changed.

I have a Bear Cruzer and I love it.its not top of the line,but it can kill a deer so it works

great review

Sick vid!

The first one had me sold

Wow bows are expensive even for a "budget" versions.

best thing to do is go on Craigslist and buy a used Hoyt,Bear,PSE, or any other named brand bow for a fraction of the price then take it to a bow tech to get it looked over and adjusted as needed.

Hey I love this video and am getting one as my first hunting compound bow thanks to this! I would love to know your thoughts on if I should shoot micro shaft or regular arrows and if micro what would I have to alter on the rth bear bow ??

I own a bowtech fuel set at 28.5" draw and 70lb weight. It is an amazing bow for the consideratly price

At 300$ one can buy Bowtech Airborne 82 0r 101nd, shooting at 350 and 340 fps respectively, with great adgustment ranges, max possible soild wall, deep valley if one wants this, and ATA 36", making drawing especially comfortable. Not for very beginners though, however general convenience at shooting may unexpectedly make them easy to even start with.

Good video thanks for info

is the Hoyt Ignite a good bow to begin to shoot compound bows?

I would like to see the price range from $200 - $350, including the Raptor. Great video. The price range your testing is a bit out of my price range, for a first bow purchase. Thanks.

could you do a review on the bear cruzer g2

Great video well done

Great😡 you didn't make it any easier to decide on which one! Getting my first bow this year. Great video 👍

I have a bow tech fuel and it’s perfect for me

I have a Jennings Carbon Extreme with minor issues And it's really effective for the price I got it for ($80)

Is that a Squatch in the background @ 4:44 mark?

Gotta love them Black Eagle Zombies he's shooting. That's my go to arrow

Great video I was thinking of the bow tech fuel I'll mostly be killing small game like gofers. But will be killing coyotes in the future what are your thoughts in which I should get ?

What about the Martin krypton? Just curious I have one on order 2 cam I believe.

I use a Parker bow. You should check those out. I really enjoyed this informative, pleasant and to the point video.

Do u have a left hand under to two hundred

Nice review! quick question about the Diamond sb-1. Mine has some cam lean and i'm wondering how this can be tuned on this bow. many thanks!

I am looking to buy new bow and was looking at the pse stinger x but in this video you rated the diamond edge sb 1 higher,why?

Can you do an updated video for 2020? Love how direct and info rich this video was

Can always buy a flagship bow from the year prior. Picked up a brand new Elite for 570.

I think my Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo is a great bow for the price.

Hey I thank you a lot for the helpful reviews Infact, I am from Mauritius and is really interested in buying a compound bow joined an archery club but the problem is i have to buy it abroad Do you personally know any shop in your area that ship bows? please let me know thnx a lot

what about hoyt powermax?

Hi There - Do you know what those large targets (like wall - cork?)are made out of? I wanted to make one in the yard. thx

I have a mission menace and got it at a pawn shop for 200 with a quiver, stabilizer, 3 pin sight, rest, and sling

Hi Lucas, what do you think about the Centerpoint Crosman eos hunter? Is it good compound bow? because here where I live is the only option I have. Thank you. Hey man !!! I like your channel, it's very interesting.

I just bought the Diamond Edge SB-1 and my bottom adjustment module is hitting the one of the cross strings. The string actually rests on the module when the bow is at rest, it clears the module when pulled back and hits the module when returning to normal. Is this normal? Diamond is telling me this is normal and they are aware of it.

The video is very well what happens is that this technology is changing, we are some people who are developing new arcs that are powered by gas and that surely the arc manufacturers like hoyt are studying for the near future. a greeting

Personally I'd say this is more of a high budget to mid level pricing range. I'd like to see a $500 and under range

U should do a video for medium budget so like a full ready to hunt kit so like the Hoyt powermax ,bowtech carbon icon etc. good video tho

If I'm a 14 year old and want to bow hunt for whitetail deer I pull 45 now put that's easy to be which one would you recommend

Wow no BS and to the point it’s too bad I’m watching this in 2021 so I guess we need a new video

i have a 2018 hoyt pro defiant

dude I love so much this channel P.S. tnx because I want to take a bow but I didn't know what to take

Can you do something like this on recurve bows?

No Martins? They used to be good value for what you got. I guess they discontinued the firecat.

Man, I only have a PSE Deer Hunter from 2005 and it is awesome. Only two weak points it had. The stock plastic grip was God awful so removed it and shoot it without grip just ducktape around and boom! This move skyrocketed my accuracy instantly. The other one is the cable system. The cables have some sort of cover and they look like an electric cable or something like that. This thing took some speed from it. It would be time for an upgrade for sure. But only upgrade this bow and I no have a plan to buy another one. DRaw weight is 65 pound and IBO is 265 Fps on paper. I no have a chronograph but I don't care about it either. As long as I do my part this thing has no spread what so ever out to 30 metes. Arrow lay in one solid group and all of them touch each other. I believe as long as you are comfortable with your bow you are fine and if you are consistently accurate than you can hunt with any bow that is strong enough. Yeah, flagship bows are amazing pieces of technology but for a hardcore hunter, they are the only one element of their kit. I bought myself an actual wild boar hunt from the price difference in 2005 instead choose the expensive bow in the store. Video wise this is how I think a bow review would look like at all times. Focusing on the point! Keep it up, dude! You just won a new subscriber! ;)

your description of the stingers adjustable draw weight is wrong

what about the mission bows??

budget?

do compound bows need to be used with a release?

My $80 compound was expensive to me, after set up and upgrades.

Ive never gone hunting or even used a bow b4 lol but this is interesting

Is a bear archery Gruzer G2 adult bow a good bow?

How would the Bear Cruzer compare to these bows?

I need to get one could you advise witch is the best one

You should test the pse brute force lite!!!!

What kind of wood is used for the target backing? I want to make one for my house.

The zombie slayers !

I was looking at bows because of the situation with ammo and guns right now. At $400 id rather drop a extra $600 and get me another 6.5 Creedmoor

I think you mean the best compound bow as I don't see any recurve bows.

Where's Parker at? Martin? Nice video tho!

What material are your targets made of?

Bear LS-2 RTH for a 330$ can't be beat.

I have to ask. Are you shooting wood? Looks like you're shooting plain old wood boards. Good review!

Good

How bout an old switchback. How many animals do you think switchbacks have taken? Rather have a quality older bow than a budget bow.

I love my bowtech fuel

Love those targets, anybody know what are they?

Need a video about buying used bows

Why did you guys not include anything from Hoyt? The Hoyt klash or the Hoyt PowerMax both well within the price points. And both come fully dressed.I personally think the power Max would have been the best of all of these bows. I also own the sb1 and infinity edge pro

What do you use as a target?

I wish gearhead archery would make a more affordable model.

Those archery walls, what are they made out of.

I have a $22 bow and its perfect so......................

Best budget bow with a drawlength 31"-32"?

Parker ultra lite 30+ is pretty decent for $499retail fully loaded...

Yo, I'm broke. What can I get for about $100 that can put out at least 70 FPE that won't break in a month?

An entry level Hoyt at around $500 - $600 will beat all those bows.
