Compound Bow Comparator

Parker's revival of the UltraLite series, specifically the UltraLite 30+, was a beneficial move for the company as well as the archers that have the ability to use this compound- it stands out in the market as an inexpensive frontrunner of mainline bows. With qualities of higher end models, a basic, yet refined shooting platform, and a reputable warranty to boot, an archer looking for a new hunting bow would be foolish not to give this one a look.

The Diamond Core is a 31" shooting platform with a 7.25" brace height, adjustable from 25" - 30," can be purchased with 50#, 60#, or 70# peak weight limbs, and packs a solid 31 fps. Although this is slow by today's standards, it packs plenty of punch to satisfy even the most hard core hunter. It is super smooth and extremely quiet. The only complaints anyone has had with this rig was with some of the components that are part of the R.A.K. package, specifically the rest and the sights. Do not let this divert your attention to a very nice bow at a very nice price. Read full review...
