Diamond Outlaw Review

This bow is great for a first bow. In my opinion if your gonna stick to bow shooting/hunting then this would be a good starter if your not gonna stick with shooting/hunting then I would not recommend paying for this bow (even though it’s cheap). If I were you and wasn’t gonna stick to shooting then you should get a cheaper bow that isn’t made to hunt or shoot competition get one that is made to practice with. Just my opinion!

I got this bow for my birthday and wanted to start getting back into hunting and within the years i was hunting this bow is by far the smoothiest and quickest bow.It comes with great sights and quiver.I didnt really have to mess with it alot after i got it just had to adjust draw length.

Looking for another bow to try out to compare to my several year old mathews i see this bowtech Diamond and said why not!? Its been a great decision. No failures and very good accuracy. Harvested many deer with it over the last 5-6 years. I would definitely buy it again.

Overall, I love this bow! Compare this bow to some of the more popular high-dollar models from other makers and it's right there with them. I bought this bow used a few years back and I couldn't be happier with it. Slight vibration when I shoot, but my setup has me shooting about 5.85 grain/pound so it's to be expected when shooting lighter arrows like I am. Still within range and safe, just on the lighter end of the spectrum. It's easily adjustable with the module and backstop pin (even though you don't have to adjust it often...or at all once it's set), plenty fast, and lightweight. I'm not a fan of the RAK system accessories, but they're ok to start with. I replaced the Octane rest with a Whisker Biscuit, put on a B-Stinger stabilizer, took off the wrist sling (I hate those things). I'll be upgrading the sight and quiver soon, but they serve their purposes for now. I'm shooting a 28" draw at 70# with Carbon Express Adrenaline 350 arrows (9.98 gpi) cut to 27 1/4". That puts my total arrow weight at just a hair over 410 grains. IBO speed is rated at 330 and my calculated speed with my hunting setup is 288 fps with my kinetic energy at 75 ft/lb. That. Is. Awesome.

The string and cable are starting to get a little long in the tooth so I'll be replacing the factory ones with some Twisted X after this season. Make sure your bow is yoke tuned correctly since the string is offset on the cam like every other single-cam bow. I'm sure there are 'better' bows out there, but when you find something like this that rivals in speed and performance for half the cost, it's hard to justify the $1000 price tag on others.

Awesome bow for anyone either just starting or a veteran on a tight budget . the R.A.K.is ok in my opinion...I've switched it all out for different products . I shoot a whisker bisquit, trophy ridge 5 pin sight , a custom made Harris precision stabilizer/dampner, Scott soft dual jaw release . gold tip 340 spline Hunter expedition they are 30"from insert to back of knock .100gr tips. if I shoot at the same spot it gets exspensive quick

I shot my first 3 indoor nationals with this bow, tied fourth place in state 3D, shot numerous deer with it as well. The outlaw is a winner for sure. Smooth draw, short valley, and a hard wall. Easy to hold full draw, just don't creep or it'll yank you down right now. I just replaced the cable and string this week. I have shot literally thousands of arrows through it. It'll shoot fat 2712's for spots, it'll shoot small carbons for field. Easy to tune, easy to shoot. I love this bow!!

I bought this bow on clearance for $399. Added a drop away, limb savers, and eliminated the d loop. With 6 new GT arrows, new release, 6 muzzy heads, and a new target for $688. with a 30.5 draw at 67lbs the bow is blazing fast. Shooting 5.7 GPP the bow does vibrate and isnt the quietest bow ever but is still well within acceptable ranges, especially considering the price. This is the 4th Diamond bow I have purchased not because I suffer from brand loyalty but simply because they tend to be the best cost v quality value. Haven't hunted with it yet but cant wait to!

I really like the over all feel of the bow took the biggest buck of my life with it last year 130 class 8 point blowed thru him so fast he run 70 yards and looked back at me before he fell back into the beans so I am very comfortable with it all the way out to 60 yards I put a ripcord drop away on mine with limb savers

I bought this bow, made one or two sight adjustments, added a kisser button. The Outlaw is deadly accurate, and incredibly fast. I have an Ice Man as well. I really like it, but the Outlaw is much better in my opinion. A little louder, but better. I was a little worried about the R.A.K setup when I bought it, but that was quickly squashed when I shot it. I will never spend a thousand dollars on a bow when I can get this kind of quality for half of that.

Over all, this is an awesome bow. I have a 29 in. draw shooting the ics HUNTER 340 with 100 grain

field tips. Shooting speeds up to 305. Im using the ripcord drop away rest and added the one pin

true glow site. No problems out to 40 yards.

After installing a Trophy Ridge Drop Away rest, Trophy Ridge Alpha V5 sight, stabilizers, string silencers, etc., the accuracy of this bow is excellent shooting CE Mayhem 250 arrows with 100gr. points. I have shot 350 and 400 arrows with the same accuracy. I have not checked the speed since adjusting draw length to 29 and weight to 60. I'm 70 yrs old and started with Bear Kodiak Magnum recurves in the early 60s. The bow is light and small enough that a cross wind breeze does not whip it around that much. The Outlaw feels well balanced and comfortable. Confidence is a key ingredient for success in the field and on the range..... I have this confindence with the Outlaw and would place it right up there with the higher priced bows.

Good overall buy $499.00 out the store ready to shoot, with a few minor upgrades it is a great bow for a novice hunter or target shooter. Like the speed I have a 31" draw and 60 pounds, getting 305 to 310 fps depending on the arrow ( better arrows better speed and accuracy).

Very solid shooting bow. Solid out to 40 yards. Little noisy after the first 60 or so arrows, but easily fixed for a minimal cost. Shoots as good if not better than most of its counterparts for less money. I like most of the diamond bows that I have shot, just don't have the budget for the top dollar outfits.

honestly this is probably the best bow you can buy for the money. plus the fact they are made in america is another great thing. i wouldnt change a thing about it or the rak accesories. i got it sighted in and at 20yds i can put a 1 1/2-2 inch group in the bullseye repeatedly. and personally i love the grip. i got it tuned at 65lbs at 29inch draw and love it. honestly the performance and quality of this bow would easily be rated up there along with matthews and other higher end bows and the speed of this bow is amazing

I bought this bow for $499 with the R.A.K. System, which makes it ready to shoot right from the cash counter. It is simple to adjust to your personal settings ( mine is 29" draw length and 65# draw weight). I have not had a chance to put too many arrows through it, but from what I observed it is decently quiet for the speed I'm getting out if it, and the vibration is nothing that couldn't be solved with a couple of limbsavers. As mentioned above I am going to switch out the hostage rest for a drop away, mainly for personal preference. Overall, for the price this bow can't be beat!

I just purchased the 2011 Diamond Outlaw. My only gripe is the grip. It is slippery and has an uncomfortable ridge where the grip does not blend into the riser near the thumb and web of hand. Do any of you know if there are options for replacement grips that are proven for this bow. I can't be the only one feeling this.

Overall, this is a great bow for a great price. I did a lot of research before deciding on this bow. I am real happy with how fast this bow shoots. It has an easy draw cycle. And, comes with a great package of accessories. I am going to change out the Hostage rest. I prefer a Whisker Biscuit, or I may try a drop away. This bow is great for a hunter on a budget, like me. I have been very pleased with this bow.

I love how much faster my Outlaw is compaired to the 2009 Hoyt Kobalt I shot last year. Each bow is 62lbs,a 27" draw and 29" Easton Axis 500 Nanotube arrows with 100grain tips. With the Hoyt I was shooting 264fps and even tho I havent cronographed my Outlaw,I know I am shooting faster with the Outlaw without a doubt.

Smooth draw with a bit of a steep let-off. very hold-able at full draw. Good quality accessories. Did replace the Octane rest with a good drop-away, but the Octane was very useable. Sight is good, quiver is light and solid.

Has proven very accurate and consistent. better than I can shoot at this point.

I had a small vibertion in bow but with libsaver and some sting whiskers videration is 95% gone. shoot very well strait out of the box sights shoot high but very well, rak package fits the bow well. love this bow
