I've seen them and picked on up, but I've never shot one. Seems like a really cool bow, definently a great starter bow and the price is right. Would like to get on for the wife to shoot for a bit, and then give my boy in a couple years.

My only uncertainty would be the consistant smoothness of the bow from those varying draw lengths and weights on the same cams, but I guess Diamond would have figured it out before launching it.

Bought one for my 14 year old daughter and she and her grandma have been taking turns with it - worth every penny. I took it out with me this afternoon to do some outdoor shooting and it was a lot of fun. I am already shopping for another so grandma can have her own.

Even smaller yet.. the Diamond Atomic.... lol... those boyz at WSS north managed to tweak one up to 40lb draw some how lol.

Thanks everyone
Looks like I'm going to pick it up, For $350 I like the idea that she can use it for some time and grow into it and if she enjoys the sport we can look at getting here a better bow in the future unless she's happy with what she has.

Last year I bought my son a new compound for his 11th B-bay. I settled on the Bear Apprentice, the Diamond Razor Edge at the time only went down to 20 lbs and was a bit much for him for more than a few shots. He loves his Bear Apprentice and the newer Apprentice II goes up to 60 lbs, so you might want to compare the two. I have looked at the Infinite Edge with my son and if I was buying him a new bow now that is where our search would start, awesome bow!

I have been looking as well, many of the youths in the program my son is in are shooting them.
All the parents and instructors seem to like them
Birthday is coming so.......

Depending on how much you want to spend I would also look at the new APA Rattler, the Mission Craze and Hoyt Rukus.

Hi Thought I would chime in on this bow , just bought one tonight for my 14 year old daughter. Got it at swampdonkey ,he set it all up she loves it. Set up a target at home and she's making consistent groups all around the bulls eye and thats in 10 minutes. Wait till she gets some time on it I'll have to start practicing again, lol

ishootbambi · #11 03-27-2013, 08:58 PM

my better half has the first version...the razor edge. she wont give it up. i bought it not really sure she was going to use it. geez, i cant get her to put it down. i have taken her to look at better stuff, but she likes the diamond. heck, she wont even touch the gun i bought her. i call her a bow snob now.

Thats awesome. Do you mind me asking what Martin is charging for them. I'm out of town and will be picking one up this weekend.

alpineman · #13 03-29-2013, 02:29 PM

Well we picked it up last night and wow right away shes getting awesome groups right away. Awesome bow and the price is unbelievable.

I bought one, seems like most versatile bow around, great for little ones, a tool so adjustable for introducing anyone, not just kids bow that grows with them, and also doubles as a backup bow if I have a failure mid season it would take me under an hour to size it to me, crank poundage up and dial pins to 60. Plus what a great sheep or mountain bow, super light and compact, or even have at less lbs for late season stand/blind work as it's an easy drawing little sucker. I think they will sell every one they make. A guy could and guys are making them their one and only bows I've read more than once.

To me it made sense to have one around. As the boys get older it may make sense to get one for each of em and I'm keeping mine for my back up or introduction duty and maybe sheep beater too.

I had lots of excess accessories around so mine wearing nice sight, whisker bisquit rest, octane adjustable length stab and I ditched the one piece diamond quiver for their two piece.

Stinky Coyote · #15 03-29-2013, 04:00 PM

Oh and ditched peep on mine running anchor sight of course.

My 11 year old brother just got an infinite edge from swamp donkey and we are not too sure we like the rotating sight system that came with it but other than that it is an ace starter bow.

Ragnarok · #17 04-02-2013, 11:13 PM

they are an amazing little bow, hard to beat with the adjustability

I picked up one of these for my Son, I changed the sight out right away though and he really likes it.

Won't be able to hunt big game with it but it will get him headed in the right direction.
