Diamond Archery is a company made by Bowtech, and usually Diamond compounds benefit from those innovations for archers willing to wait a season. Recently, Diamond engineers seem to be creating features not seen on Bowtech models, giving Diamond bows real field performance while making models like the Edge SB-1: partly Bowtech, mostly Diamond. The SB-1 is extremely adjustable with draw weights ranging from 7 pounds to 70 pounds while the draw lengths are from 15 to 30 inches. The SB-1 features one of the widest adjustment ranges of any bow, and can fit almost any shooter. This is a solid investment for a serious woman, a burly male, or a youngster needing a killer hand-me-down.
Diamond includes a versatile support system which offers support by website (adjustmybow.com), email (just@diamondarchery.com), text message (“ADJUST” to 313131), or social media (#adjustmybow). These features should ease concerns from buyers fretting about the bow’s seemingly overwhelming options.
The new EZ Adjust system makes draw-lengths and draw-weights highly intuitive, even for first-time buyers. The SB-1 includes a new synchronized Binary Cam system with EX Adjust rotating modules and incorporating string stops. It is as simple as loosening a couple of screws on the cam modules, slide to the desired draw length, and retighten. The EZ Adjust Pockets include clearly marked graduated scales and riser reference marks to eliminate guesswork when adjusting weights.
Bowtech’s Sychronized Binary Cams have become an industry touchstone. Two perfectly symmetrical cams are slaved to each other to ensure balance and top-notch accuracy through precisely level nock travel. The SB-1’s Synchronized Binary Cam system is a somewhat simplified version of this, and includes the EZ Adjust previously mentioned.
The incorporated dual string on this compound stops provide a solid back wall and consistent arrow speeds. The SB-1’s design is largely parallel geometry, slim width solid limbs held in innovative capture limb pockets, and a strategically milled cut-out riser. Diamond included an adjustable string stop, and a carbon cable guard rod with a slick buss-cable slide that includes two integrated drop-away activation-cord receptacles.
The Diamond Edge also comes with the preset R.A.K. hunting package equipping this compound with a 3-pin sight Octane Hostage Max drop in/full-containment arrow rest, 5-inch Ultra-Lite Stabilizer, Deadlock Lite Quiver, comfort adjustable wrist sling, carbon peep sight, and a BCY string loop. This compound has a compact, maneuverable character, smooth cam system, and a quiet nature that make it ideal for treestands and pop-up blinds.
