Diamond Edge SB1 Review 

I'm just getting into archery and this video was super informative and well put together. Thanks for going above and beyond with the data and explanations as to why someone should/shouldn't get this bow!!

Thanks for reviewing this bow Sean. Been waiting for this review for a while now and it was honest and very detailed, exactly what I was hoping for. Great job!

This is my first bow and I been waiting to see a full review on it and I'm glad it came from you

another great review as usual; you do great work!!!

Just wanted to thank you for how incredibly helpful your channel has been. Miles better than anything else online! You’ve single handily walked me through a new hobby to keep me sane through all this quarantining.. Thanks man 🙏

Just got one of these because of your videos, love your videos very detailed and thorough.

Love the vids man!!!

This, your Bear Cruzer, Diamond Infinite Edge, and Diamond Edge 320 are the most helpful reviews and helped me choose the right bow for me. I wish I could find data driven reviews like this for everything I am considering buying. Thank you for the work and attention to detail!!

Phenomenal review Sean clear and unbiased much appreciated!

Thank you! I got this bow last year because of you.

I have the bow and absolutely LOVE it! I did add a PSE stabilizer, trophy hunter quiver and optic. I think those were necessary upgrades. Can’t wait to listen to this! Sean is the best RU-vidr when it comes to bows! 💪🏽

Great data, thanks for the charts

The data from this will come in very handy for my Son's SB-1 thanks 👍

Great in depth review, very informative, thank you 👍 FYI I was able to install my peep sight by just dialing down the DW

very good review, I really like that compound bow, greetings from Argentina

My SB-1 arrived today. Thanks for taking the time to make this great video. I especially wanted to think you for the tip where you used a silver marker to mark the limb bolt and limb so you can better monitor how much you've turned the bolt as you adjust the draw weight.

Thanks Sean, your bow reviews are pretty darn comprehensive and very informative. Thanks, cuz of this review I am purchasing this bow for my son this weekend. Not a bad first bow as I also watched the one where u compared it to the other plastic Diamond bow.........Thanks again!!

Hi Sean - I got a BowMaster Press G2 to install the peep and it worked fine. Just FYI. Keep the great content coming. Terrific review.

Picked up this bow after extensive research on it. Came across your videos before my purchase, I can’t thank you enough for basic tuning and your review. I am not able to find experienced bow hunters to give me advice, so you have filled those shoes... I achieved a childhood dream of mine by taking out my first buck in my first year of deer hunting by other extensive research. Coming up to my second and I am VERY comfortable with my bow and I have patterned the deer on my private land well. I’ve watched your videos extensively, though i’ve probably watched your “SB-1” videos 20-30 times each, I try my best to learn everything I can about just bow tuning and my bow.

Love the vids!!

Really good info, thanks!

Thank you. Great explanation. Greetings from Poland.

You do great work thanks for sharin

Sean, fantastic content! I think the analogy of practicing with a bow and practicing any form of spirituality is a powerful one. Eastern religions often do a much better job of of handling the notion of sin than we have done as Christians. I think there are some long standing structural elements......ahhh... anyway... loved the video!

Luv the vids

I’ve been watching your videos and they are very informative. I really appreciate the time, energy and detail that you put into them. I have purchased this bow for my first compound bow, thanks mainly to the price and to your in depth reviews. So, I want to thank you for that. With that being said, which sight with good fiber optics, yet somewhat affordable, would you recommend for this bow?

Great videos Sean, I just subd.

Nice vid !!!

Great review. I got one to start archery a few months ago and it is a good bow I like it a lot. I am 5-8 and am using the 27" draw@ what I figure is 56lbs. I have replaced the sight-viper archery venom 1000 and rest with a drop rest, a nap apache. I am a lefty so I have to double check the handed for gear. For a new Archer this bow works great, though the rest came too low,the d loop too low etc. For the peep sight, I did not use a press, I got one of those string splitters and used thatas well as I dropped the pull weight down to ~28lbs and the peep went in easy, slipped the pointed end in, twisted the tool and the string was all separated. One thing I did not notice is if you mentioned the dot "pull weight" on the side of the bow at the adjustment bolts. 10 dots. Each dot - should- be 7 lbs of pull. The weight adjustment lining the dot with the line on the side of the bow goes first dot= 7, then 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 then last dot=70. Overall, love the bow. Did whack my forearm once but watching your videos and other videos I have learned alot, while I have not shot further than 30 yards yet (no place to shoot in my area besides my back yard) my groupings are..decent for a beginner (who has not touched a bow for 43 years -i am 53 now) and getting tighter as I practice at 30 yards the group is about 6" I want to get that to 3" or less. Thanks for your thorough reviews and videos they are very informative to me.

I have been waiting for this!! My draw length is 24 inch and it is maxed, thank u for this video I paper tuned it and now I can hit my block target at 60 yards, that is the farthest I can shoot with my sight, so u have anymore videos on this bow? Have a blessed rest of ur day and week!!

It don't matter what kinda bow it is to me mine just blew apart done for this season but I do like watching your videos I've learned a lot watching you

Love your content have learned alot my daughter has taken up archery so I am getting in to it with her iam 53 and I am liking bowtech bows

Hello Mr. Sean really awesome video! Thank you very mucj for sharing your knowledge, i just have 3 questions: 1. Do you have a video on the process of putting the peep sight? 2. Do you have a video on how to set up the sight? 3. How to actually shoot using the sight (noob, im sorry)?

Thanks again for this video. I bought a Diamond Edge SB-1 because in researching it, I found this video and it was so clear and easy to understand. After shooting it for a handful of months, it's fantastic. And my 22 year old is getting into archery as well now. We've been taking turns shooting recurves and the SB-1. I'm ready to buy my next compound so that my 22 year old can just keep the SB-1 and I get my own. :) So, the question is should I buy a second SB-1 or should get a step up and if I was to get the step up, what would that be? I'd be looking to take whatever I get deer hunting next fall. Thoughts?

Great review Shaun. In your next video can you take a quick second to show the feild tips you use to target shoot? I got a new target and it's already having pass troughs and looking ripped up from pulling the arrows out. Its a rino bag target

I'm liking this bow, never been a Diamond fan really bc I've never been around one either. Waiting to see your final opinion between this and the Cruzer, I really like the look of this bow but leaning towards the bear

Hello Sean, thank you so much for taking time to do these videos! I'm thinking about getting a bow for my 12 year old daughter. In your opinion what would you go with between the Mission bows, or Diamond Infinite Edge? Trying to get the best bang for a complete set up for sub $500.

awsome bow...i still shoot my infinity edge and honestly shoots great

Hello Sean, I just discovered your channel and I need your advice. I own a Diamond SB1 and I was wondering if the center shot is in the middle of the riser because the cams are slightly to the right.

Hello Sean, for this bow, what brand of strings would you recommend for an upgrade from the originals? Best regards

Great review! Got the bow last week only issue I’m having with the apex sight. Tried setting pins for 15,25,35 yards. The sight is completely maxed down and I’m still hitting 15 yards with bottom pin. Any recommendations?

for the 13/16 you can always take out the tape measure and look for the 3/4 (12/16) mark and add one :)

How did you correct the gap mentioned at the 5:00 minute mark and can that imperfection cause damage to your bow? Thank you

Hey Sean, I recently purchased the sb-1 as my first bow. I’ve been shooting everyday for over a week now and am enjoying the process of learning how to shoot and site in this bow. I’m wondering if I should upgrade my site already? The one that came with it seams pretty minimal and kinda janky. I can’t seem to shoot consistently with it. As far as I tell everything is set up correctly.

I have a question coming from being brand new this, I'm still researching about how to shoot a compound bow and which one to get. Once I sight a bow, will that remain set or does this process need to be repeated often?

I've got this same bow and ive got the draw length set at 30 and three turns out (59lb). What would the fps be and what grain arrows would work best?

Last week my bottom limb pocket and limb exploded from me drawing the bow for a practice shot. Fortunately bowtech is sending parts to my local pro shop for repair. Make sure you guys inspect those limbs on the regular. This is my second SB-1 and I had a similar issue with the first bow within 2 days of shooting. The bottom limb started splitting and I took it back to the store and they gave me a new bow. Other than that, I killed 2 deer last year with complete pass through.

Do you need a bow press with this bow, can you loose limb bolts that much you can remove strings?

Hi Sean. Quick question. My draw length is 26”. If I back the limb bolts out 10 turns will it give a draw weight of 35# as your test results show, or will it be different as the draw length is 26”?

what release are you using when Paper Tuning the bow? I don't see your index finger moving - so I assume it's some form of wrist-thumb release?

So I purchased an SB-1 online and was enjoying it. I had 10-15 arrows through it an was in the process of paper tuning when the string jumped off the top cam! I backed the limbs way off and got it back together. I checked the draw length modules, draw weight adjustment ( marked with a silver sharpie) and the cam timing that was spot on? I shot two more arrows and the second shot it jumped off again! 29” at 58 lbs of draw weight. I can’t find anything obvious, is it cam lean? Have you ever had this happen? Any advice would be great. Thank You

Hello Sean ! Great review, your videos are awesome !! I wanna start bow hunting (moose), I am in my early 30s, 5'10, and in good shape. My draw length is 28 5/8 just like you tested. Is this bow recommanded for moose hunting ?

I was wondering about the tutorial or review on the diamond age for finding centre shot. Basically the string technique. I did that had a broken arrow but I cut down to line up everything and that part worked well but what I was wondering was The cams aren’t centred on the ball and the drawstring is not centred with that no make the arrow crooked using that method. When I was finished and locked down from the top to line things up with Mayeye it looked like it was Cutting to the left quite a bit. Anyways what are your thoughts on that regards Danny from Ontario Canada

Hey Sean, I've had this bow for 8 months now, I'm a beginner and looking to upgrade the rest and sight. Which would you recommend?

With your results do you think string stretch will play into draw lenght after use from new?

Hey sean, I’m trying to help a friend out. We can not achieve 70lb draw weight at 28.6 dl. Both limbs are bottomed out and only get 61# . Any ideas to get it to 70?

Sean is there a big difference from the sb1 to the edge 320?

Hi Sean. What sight are you using on your own bow in this video? Thank you

Hey Sean, long time viewer and reader of yours.. first thanks. Second , can I ask a question? I just got the SB-1.. What is the best arrow setup you can suggest for 70lb draw@30in. I have some nice 340spine Goldtip XT Hunter with about 170g total @tip, I figure I will start there but I would like to shoot at optimal set-up

I want to switch the sight for this bow, which one is a hood upgrade!? Greetings from Europe

what grain arrow do you use on these tests

So at the end of day would you recommend for a beginner bow hunter

What’s up with the string above the d-loop, looks like it’s all frayed off

This bow is coming in tomorrow came highly recommended from a buddy and i saw your videos on it and i locked it in this review was the best ive seen on any product ever and idk if i can ask this but could you tell me when you started putting bible verses in the videos so i can go back and start watching and writing them down ?

What arrow do you use in this test?

Hi, would you recommend this bow for hunting? and to make long distance shots?

I recently purchased an sb1 but was looking first at a G2...what sold me was the 80% let off and smooth back wall of the sb1 just to good and sold me.

What sight do you have on your personal bow that you were describing?

OK this time what I did was I lightly with an elastic attached another arrow on the riser and then I knocked and arrow and put it in the rest to eyeball down from the top to see if they were parallel with each other.

So cam lean can be corrected with shims?

It'd be great if you did a review on the diamond Razor's Edge bow. 😁👍👍👈

Is that a fully semi-automatic bow? 😉 , great video .

Hey Sean, can you review the Hoyt Powermax!

Will the date be sufficient or do we need the title of the video? I haven’t been writing down the titles

What does a person need to do to enter in a giveaway that you do?

i would love to have one, they are so expensive

Sb1 or Cruzer g2? Can’t decide

Plizz let me win this. Hehehe good vid.

I have a diamond edge an-1 personally I wish I would have gone with the bear cruzer instead.

That was my first bow

Do you go to the bow ata show?

Why did that knock come off from the first shot?

Try black eagle arrows

How’s Timothy?

Read a review that the bow is noisy. Doesn’t sound bad to me.

Fastest bow shooter in the west🤣🤣

You look like Daniel larusso when he’s older

Kids with a 15 inch draw length must be REALLY short lol

Big body

Just scored one of these for $165 new
