- Diamond Infinite Edge Pro Review. In this video, I review the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro compound bow. I review the speed of the Infinite Edge Pro at the various draw lengths as well as the draw weight of the Infinite Edge Pro at the different draw lengths. In my next video on the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro, I talk about how to tune an Infinite Edge Pro. Here is the link for that video • How To Tune a Diamond ...
I mentioned some tools I recommend having for tuning as well as my video on how to make a draw board.
Below are the links to the bow tuning tools I talked about.

Your a patient man doing all these test and settings for one bow!
Thank you!
I like the limb bolt turn chart! Thanks for another great video and for taking time to help out beginners like me. I almost gave up trying to learn archery before I found your channel, as I didn't know anyone who practiced it. Now I joined an archery club and will be shooting my first 3D shoot this weekend! Your videos have been invaluable.
Great, thanks!
Been waiting on this very video for years. Thank you for taking the time. I have a Diamond Infinit Edge!
Thanks, brother!
Thank you for your hard work. I went through the same issues as you. I'm right handed and my daughter is left eye dominant and bought her that same bow. Its refreshing to see someone doing an actual review instead of just saying everything the dealer might want to hear them say.
Thank you!
This is the most comprehensive review I've ever seen!! Thank you!!
Thanks!
Impressively comprehensive review. Thank you for your time and efforts!
Thank you for noticing and acknowledging! God bless you
This little series is what all manufacturers should be doing. Great job mate keep it up
Thanks, Daniel!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I’m glad to hear your daughter is taking an interest in the sport. My daughter wants to go this year. She’s pretty young so we will probably just sit in a blind and watch deer but I can’t wait.
Thanks, Jeremy. God bless you.
Solid review, just picked up a diamond deploy and very happy with it
Thanks. Enjoy it.
I just bought that bow (in black) back in May. Absolutely love it!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. God bless ya
How are you finding the bow now, is it holding up well? Thinking of buying one
The diamond infinite edge pro was the first bow I bought , (being a 47 yr novice ). That was 9 months ago. I found a coach and had him set it up. It worked well. Since then I picked up a 2009 pse bowmadness, and just recently a 2019 pse evoke 35 that I did all the work on with the help of my coach. I started to set up the diamond for my wife and found out what a pain they are to work on,lol.
Wish you had had this video out then lol thanks Sean keep up the good work
Thanks, yeah a little challenging to change draw length etc.

Thanks Sean, at the beginning of the video it looked like a bow in the background like one of my old ones? Hoyt pro force extreme, grey/ black camo, like hauling around a 20 lb barbell, sure appropriate all the time you spend testing.
Thanks Bob the welder
Mine is a bear whitetail II.
Great videos Sean
Thanks
Had to watch it twice I was giving my son a haircut and got distracted lol. Might look into one of these for daughter at CHRISTmas time or maybe not. As much time you spent with the cam lean and adjustments needing a bow press is almost a deal breaker in itself.
Lol thanks for the double watch, God bless ya
Great review as always 👍 I'm sure your daughter will love it.
Thank you!
My Diamond Prism rocks, smooth draw cycle, very accurate with factory accessories
Awesome
Thank You, Sean, the details you give on this Bow is absolutely top-notch !! I`ve just bought one of these, and it shoots very well, all set up in the shop for me, however, I hope I don`t look silly asking this, but, Looking at the Bow limbs Bolt that holds them on , I have quite a lot of the bolt showing between the Limbs and the bow, does it make it more powerful if I screw the bolts all the way down ??
The tighter you make the bolt, the heaver the draw weight will be
I have the diamond infinite edge and I love it. On a normal basis I shoot 50 meters with it.
Awesome
Love your videos. Looked at other videos and you seem to be extremely thorough. Would like your opinion on the elite impulse 34. I'm going from a Bear attitude to the elite. Thank you and God bless
The Impulse 34 is a very nice bow. I like that bow. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors thank you for your response.
@@petermitchell9046 Sure thing Apostle Peter.
Thanks for the awesome video. I’m new to this compound bow and planning to go hunting (buck or small game) and target shooting in future. Local sporting store have this Diamond and Bear Vast RTH and wondering if any of these are good for beginner.
I’m 6’1 and 215lbs average, budget is around $350 if that helps. Not sure what draw weight I will need or be able to pull without bring out the hulk. Thanks! 👍🏽
Yeah this is a good bow to get started with. It has a lot of adjustability.
Love that shirt, I want one lol
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I just bought this bow and am totally new to archery. I had watched a video where someone adjusted the draw length without a bow press (although now I wonder if it was not the “pro” version) and that played a big part in me buying this bow. Now to see that I need a bow press to adjust the draw length and install the peep sight...kind of disappointed.
Well, you could also loosen the limb bolts down so far that you can pull on the cables until the cam rotates far enough to be able to loosen the screw and switch the draw length. While that is one way you can do it, it is a pain in the butt to have to do that just to change the draw length.
The pro doesn't need a press. But they only recomend this for moving string position a, b, or c. I've done to put twist in string to rotate peep. 5-6 additional turns on limb bolts. And they say only back bolts as far as half way through the hole it runs through. I don't know anything about the non pro version.
@@wax-onwax-off7105 Nice. At least you can work on it, but it sounds like a pain and really forces you to come off of whatever settings you had the bow on.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures Thanks, that’s what I ended up doing. I still have to take it in the get the peep sight installed anyway. Looking forward to getting into the woods with my bow!
Thanks for the great review. I’m new to bows but decided to pull the trigger and bought this exact model off the internet. I like to tinker so I did a lot of research regarding tuning and maintenance. It was not well-tuned out of the box, so I made a makeshift bow press and timed the cams appropriately and set the correct draw length. Arrow placement is inconsistent, but most seem to be going right (and I’m a lefty). I don’t think the problem is the bow so much as my technique. I’m trying to be mindful of my stance, correct grip and elbow angles, arrow rest position/angle, sight adjustment, anchoring, etc., but everything is still going right. Any ideas?
If your arrows hit father right the farther back you shoot from then it sounds like your tuning is off. Make sure that your rest is centered properly and then yoke tune it to compensate for your arrow flight.
If it is consistent right but not farther right the farther you move back then just move your sight. If you are sometimes on and sometimes right then it's human error and that could be a whole list of things.
Thanks again, I’ll make some more adjustments.
Dude... that crochet in the background probably took forever....i learned while my wife was hospitalized (I was 35 at the time and it was supposed to be something to keep HER busy!)
Yeah it took Jess Banister like 6 months to make. I’m super grateful! I wrap myself in it during the winter and use it as a backdrop for videos in the summer.
@@seansoutdoors very nice!
Sean, there are few things off with the way that bow it set up and "tuned."
1. The drawboard you're using doesn't give a true reading of the cam timing, because the bow riser isn't perfectly perpendicular to the ruler. This causes the cams to be off, as you have shown, hence why I am seeing the nock end of your arrow ride higher than the rest when you drew the bow back. If you tilt the bow up at full draw so that the riser is perpendicular to the ruler, you'll see the one cam that is further out come back more towards the cable. It might still need a half-twist or 2 to get the cams back into sync.
2. I love my Infinite Edge Pro. I've got it set to 26.5" draw, at 60#, and I'm shooting a 310 grain Carbontech Cheetah arrow through the chronograph at 246 fps. At 65# and 26", your arrow should be shooting a bit faster than 250 fps.
3. The cams have two string posts to get the drawlength down to 13". Post B shortens the string, thereby shortening the overall drawlengths.
4. The foam inside the quiver hood is removable.
5. The limb bolts should bottom out the limbs to the riser. Something is wrong if they don't.
6. The drawlength modules when this bow first came out were aluminum. I am glad to say that I have one of the first ones made.
This bow likes a little bit of weight in order to remain stable able full draw. It's so light that I can't hold it steady. I found that it likes an 18" stabilizer with 4 oz of weight up front, and a 6" side stabilizer with 3 oz on the end, makes for a great shooting bow. I also installed a QAD rest and an IQ sight with Retina-Lock to tell me that I'm not torquing the bow and those things made for a very accurate shooting bow.
Awesome
Hey Sean. New to compound bows in general and I am loving your videos. I got my wife the infinite edge pro and looking at the manual it seems the draw weight at my wife's draw length is too high (65lbs at 26") while in the A setting. However the manual says the string stop provided is only functional with the A loop setting. My question is should I move the setting from "A" to "C". Or would it be best to loosen the limb bolts to lower the draw weight but keep the "A" setting. I would like to get the draw weight closer to 50lbs for her. Thank you!
What draw weight are you trying to get to?
@@seansoutdoors 50 pounds
@@jeffcapaci9350 I think I would just loosen the limb bolts to get to that weight.
@@seansoutdoors Thank you for the response!
Is this the first verse you put in your videos for the bows in December
Been a verse in every video since the beginning of June.
Do you recommend using a luggage scale to measure the weight for a precise measure?
If you want to know the exact weight, then yes. Something like that would definitely help.
You should do the draw length vs pounds with your Mathews
It is draw specific mods, so I can't change the draw length of the Mathews because I don't have draw mods for other draw lengths.
Hi which one would be the best bow to buy between the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro or the Bear Cruzer G2 Im a beginner and i want to start but Im not sure.
Thank you for the review!!
If it were me I might go with the Bear Cruzer G2.
@@seansoutdoors Thank you so much!
To go down to 13" you have to change to the "C" setting first right? Then it seems like you could use 2 screws for the module?
I'm not sure, check the owners manual.
I'm a beginner looking to buy this bow because of the 31" draw length amongst other things and some of the good reviews I've seen, is your tuning video for this bow still up? Just trying to acquire more information, thanks!
Yup, here you go th-cam.com/video/WzoMjdrGfII/w-d-xo.html
@@seansoutdoors thanks! Because the link in the description isn't working, gives me some error code
Okay I'll look into it.
I think to go to the lower draw length you have to attach cable to another pin on cam
Sounds good
Can this bow use for target competitions is it compliant with the target archery standards of world Archery?
The bow itself could be used. What you need to pay attention to are the specifications for arrow weight. If shooting in an IBO competition, the arrow will need to be at least 5 grains per pound of draw weight. So if you are shooting at 70 pound draw weight, the arrow needs to weigh at least 350 grains.
Do you have these same tests and charts for the Edge sb-1?
Yes
Could you please review the blackout s3 compound bow?
If I see one. I currently don’t have access to one
Oh I have another question that's been bothering me since I was shopping for a bow, that's a solid limb bow, why does it have a split yoke system like a split limb bow would have?
It is to manage the limb and the cam lean regardless of split or solid limb. Even solid limbs can twist or be manipulated.
@@seansoutdoors thanks Sean that makes sense, what do you prefer
@@tronny4981 I guess I prefer a split limb if I have the yoke system because they say that a solid limb can crack where the limb splits to go around the cam.
@@seansoutdoors yes I heard that before too, thanks for the feedback
I have the LH version of this, I don't have an issue with my quiver coming loose
Cool, maybe they installed it properly or actually gave you a left handed model quiver whereas this one is clearly a right handed model.
on this bow you said when you lower the draw length you lower the draw weight. I have a 31" draw and shoot at 60-65 lbs, so this bow won't be good for me will it?
That should be fine for you
@@seansoutdoors thanks for answering. God bless.
There is 3 string routes around the post for A B and C to different draw lengths read it in the manual
Yes, there are three string positions, but when the screws for the mod are buried under the limb, you need to press the bow in order to get access to them. the only other option would be to loosen the limb bolts so far out that you could pull on the cables to rotate the cam in order to gain access at the screws.
The string positions aren't meant to get the screws out from under the limbs. You said you were reluctant to go lower than a 17" draw length, that's where those other two routes come in. They effectively shorten the string, which allows for more tension at lower draw lengths.
While it would be nice for everyone to have access to a bow press, it's nice that someone has made a bow that can be adjusted without one, even if it means loosening the limbs. Given that every time you change the draw length the weight changes, you most likely will have to adjust the limbs anyway
@@bethg7026 changing the draw length a half inch (which is what most archers will be doing if they are growing with the bow) won't require much adjustment on the draw weight.
As for the string position, thanks for clarifying. I went through the box and there was not manual in the box. I went online on their website and didn't see one for the page with all the other manuals. They must call it something other than Diamond Infinite Edge Pro. Would be nice if it wasn't so difficult to find one, lol. Anyway, I understand what you are saying now with the strange aspect of changing the cable position on the cam in order to also be able to change the draw length to the lower settings. This bow is okay, but certainly has some elements that I'm not too big a fan of. Regardless, my daughter will be shooting it for a long time, if she even ends up liking archery, lol.
@@seansoutdoors I'll email you the manual. We bought both of ours used so I didn't get one and downloaded it.
You are right, a half inch change won't up the draw weight horribly, but when we upped it 2" for my daughter she was unable to draw it
@@bethg7026 Thanks
Hi Sean, Ron Jr, wants to buy bows for two of his kids, an 11 year old girl and his 16 year old son. These Diamond Edge Pro's are for sale at CABELA's now. Would you recommend these as a good starter bow? Thanks brother.
They are decent for a starter bow. I bought one for my daughter.
Any idea how I can make a DIY safe bow press ?
You may want to type that into Google followed by "archery talk" I believe there are some feeds on there that talk about it. By "there," I mean archerytalk.com
My draw length is 22.5-23” and I can pull 50 pounds easily would this be a good hunting bow or is there another option?
You would need a cut on contact broadhead regardless of what bow you go with.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures
Well that does suck, but thanks!
Hi Sean one question for the bible scriptures. When summerizeng do you want us to summarize the whole chapter or just that one or multiple verses you stated
For summarizing, you can just tell me the verse I mentioned. However, some of the verses I quoted were intentionally positioned in a way that I was hoping people would want to read a little extra to see how it relates to surrounding passages and therefore get the full context.
@@seansoutdoors ok sounds good I love what you are doing with the channel I just subscribed about a week ago and I'm catching up on a lot of your old videos now keep up the great work.
@@Tysoutdoorshow Thanks, Tyler!!! God bless ya
There is a different peg for the string for position b and c to make length shorter. Same peg for both just how you attach it. And manuel says no press needed to change pegs.
I was not able to access the screws to take the draw mod off to change the draw length when I pulled this bow out of the box. It required a press to be able to rotate the cam enough to access the screws. Press needed.
In the changing draw length section it refers you to look at the changing draw weight section to do this without a bow press. They are talking about moving the string position not the mods. But well you can work on this bow just by adjusting draw weight. Check it out man. No lie. Just double checked myself. Once i get new strings for mine it becomes my women's. Had it for 4 years now. And just upgraded.
String setting c, mod set at 13 give you 13 in draw and 8lbs of draw weight.
When the application is stricley for bow adjustment purposes only, each limb bolt may be backed out an additional 5-6 turns complete turns in order to relieve the string and cable tension.
Word for word out of the Manuel.
@@wax-onwax-off7105 Although possible, very impractical. Thanks
Hi Seans Do you recommend this bow? tks.
It is an okay bow. I might even go with this one instead th-cam.com/video/S-KhoE4RHJA/w-d-xo.html
Sean's Outdoor Adventures tanks!!!! Awesome videos !!!
Instead of using the bow press can’t you take the cables and squeeze them towards the riser to get to the screw? I know with my wife’s cruzer that was the easier way to do it
No the screws are too far under the limb in many of those instances.
It really depends on the positioning. I could do that with my daughter's once but then the next time we had to throw it on a press
Out of box what is the draw weight?
It probably can vary depending on who assembled it. I don't know.
Do a Hoyt Klash please
If I come across one
bob i just got that dim. bow and love it ...matt 19:16
Enjoy it
I have one of these and you say you need a bow press ? > You Don`t !! I`ve undone the limb bolt and it releases everything to do any work on, in fact I`ve done this several Times, > No Problem
You are right. But that's also a bit of a pain as you can't go more than two full turns on a side at a time, so going back and forth on each limb takes a very long time and it's also difficult to get it back to the exact poundage and exact tiller on each limb, thus making fine tuning all the more difficult. If you're trying to get a precise tune on the bow, unscrewing each limb all the way and then cranking them back in two turns per side at a time makes it extremely difficult.
Dude, it's Ethan from Lost.....
If I was him I'd be found
Good riser, good weight, poor engineered cams on this bow. With better engineered cams, this Edge Pro would generate a lot more fps.
Diamond went cheap on this engineering design on cams. The Fuel - more modern Bowtech version beats it hands down on same riser, same limbs - different better engineered cams, different string, cables. Cabelas S3 is also an updated more fps design based off this riser / limbs.
Thanks
🐻👍👍👍💯💯💯New Subber!
Thanks!
I think at speed test , you are too close at chrono! The arrow dont leaved the bow among the tip arrived in the first section of chrony
I shoot 36 inches away from ever single speed test I do. The arrow slows down the moment it leaves the bow so the farther you go back the lower you speed will be.
@@seansoutdoors ok Sir it seems me to closer
And at 31 draw lenght, 308 fps is not to good. Nevertheless,i plan to buy this bow, my draw is30.5,and i like the quite,light bows.
6:30 info for myself
Awesome!
Appreciate your channel greatly always great info and has helped me lots with my bow tuning. So thank you Sean
I want to win a bow for my daughter!!!!
