I was wondering if this is the Diamond bow that Cabelas offers and if it is the carbon fiber one that weighs next to nothing?

It was very light weight. It was a Christmas present for my son and as soon as he pulled back on the string, one of the plastic fittings broke. I returned it.

I've used both the 30" shiny black (brand) carbon arrows and the shiny black (brand) premium wood arrows with turkey feathers. Both work fine. I've lost the points of several of the wood arrows in my heavy duty target, but they still pierce the target fine with this bow. If they don't, ten seconds with a sander or even a decent pencil sharpener and you have a perfectly servicable point.

looks the same as mine, carbonlite anchor frame and limbs look the same, this one is camo, looks good. 22" bolts from cabela's work very good too. Powerful xbow.

Yeah! My bow is set at 63 pounds and this target works great! Plus it's made in the USA.

This one is aluminum...they also make a carbon fiber version which usually sells for $100. I have this one and honestly the amount of weight that you save with the carbon fiver isn't really worth the extra $40. Hope that helps.

I never heard of that. The warranty comes with the product. You can buy this bow at several retailers, so I don't see the difference. The card said nothing about it. I suppose you could email Diamond to check, but I would not worry about it.

This isn't a real compound bow. It is more like a sturdy Nerf bow and arrow set.

The draw weight (less than 14 lbs I think) is much less than an "adult" bow which can be up around 30 lbs or more. This is the force it takes to pull the arrow back fully. I also think it is slighly smaller.

Pretty heavy I already sold it due to weight and being awkward. Bought a compound bow and cant be happier

Designed for NASP Competition in Schools. Genesis Bow usually set at 20 Lbs, Maybe as low as 15 Lbs for Elementary.

The bow is for basic learning designed for small kids. It teaches basic skills but has no power for hunting or even being used for distant target practice. I would go to any store that sells bows and see if you are strong enough to pull back and hold 25lbs. If you can I would buy a more powerful adjustable bow. If you can't this bow is for you.

No it does not. This is the high grade model, if you want the bow that is the master grade which about double the price

no, this is a fiberglass reproduction. if your looking for a real horn composite bow, be ready to spend several times the price of this one.

Yes it does. I have had mine for several years, great bow for the money. Get some carbon bolts custom cut to 16", Its a killing machine 35 yrds or less.

Ok so I don't have it stock anymore. I put a Leupold Crossbones on it instead of the luminated no brand that it came with. The other was fine I just have older eyes and prefer Leupold. I also installed limbsavers and updated to an Alpine quiver that holds 6 arrows instead of 3. All of that may or may not have added to its weight. Mine weighs in at 11.8 #. I bought the Primos trigger stick 2 and that solved the weight issue. Don't let the weight scare you away, this is an amazingly fast and accurate bow. I carry it with a threepoint AR-15 sling which hangs it in front and to my left side for quick target acquisition and so that I can watch my limbs and cables as I go through the brush. Hope this helped.

I would say overall yes. with that said i would have gotten the raptor fx if it was out when i got mine, its a bit more (i think $75) but they cut a lot of weight. i believe the raptor is 7lbs vs 9 and it comes with a better scope/or the same. my decision is purely on weight as i would replace the scope regardless, just hate the 3dot. if you cant afford a lighter one this one dose great and i get very clean kills with it. ive had it for 3 full seasons, wax your strings especially the the two that cross in the slide. they are very expensive to fix, not just on this xbow but all

Not exactly sure how much it weighs exactly but the thing is awesome. The Carbon fiber is very very lite. I'm so pleased I bought it. I suggest you have a ball head on it however. Makes it even more enjoyable to use.
