Compound Bow Comparator

Diamond Archery has caused an uproar in the industry by not only putting out an impressive shooting machine, but by including a full blown website devoted to the owners who purchase this bow, helping them turn their own allen wrenches before running to a local shop or dealer. For nearly half the price of a modern flagship compound, any individuals looking to get into the sport get an impressive package; the SB-1 totes an extremely adjustable design as well as provides a solid shooting platform from the beginning. With the addition of some silencing accessories and a nicer grip, this would become the bow to be at the side of everyone getting into the sport, or even at the hands of someone looking to upgrade from a different model.

Those looking for the adjustment of the Bear Cruzer elsewhere will have difficulty finding it. The draw length range is a massive 18-inches, and the limbs can be adjusted for 65-pounds. This bow will fit just about anyone, and coming in with a ready to hunt package for a low price of $399 makes the Cruzer a looker for anyone wanting to get started in the archery world. Shooters that are done growing may benefit from a bow that is designed with a smaller adjustability range. However, those with growing left to do will benefit a great deal from having a bow that can grow with them. The Bear Cruzer has the potential to be the only bow a shooter ever owns.
