Today I had the pleasure to setup a Diamond Rock and it is a very nice bow.Shot quite smooth with stabilizer and draw cycle was very nice,even for me being overbowed.

At first I had some convincing to do to the owner that he didn't have the right equipment.His rest was a plastic hostage and his arrows were beman 400's.He has a 30" draw shooting 66#'s.Did some rest swaps with a few I had laying around and showed him how just a rest swap helped his tear but we couldn't get past the spine issue and contact issues.He had a 2 1/2" high tear and 3/4" right tear.

He finally gave in,headed to town and traded 11, 400's for 6 340's.He watches his spending.He then went to a friend that had a cheap fallaway rest and traded the hostage for this rest.


He returned and I set up the rest,and did a quick eyeball tune for centershot.Set the nock to dead level.Put a couple twist in the yoke to take care of some lean.

Then checked paper,about an 1/8" right tear.Not enough to worry about.(we could have done a couple more twist or added some length to the rest rope to completely eliminate the tear)

He sighted in with field points,then checked broadheads.Dead on at 25.I moved him back to 30 and still dead on,then on to 40,still dead on.He had a look of amazement.

He said he has NEVER had broadheads do this.

He called me later and said he had a few buddies that wanted to come see me.


425 grain arrow @ 66#'s shooting 275 fps with broadheads and fieldpoints impacting the same.


Back to the bow.I really liked it for a lower end bow.Very nice strings and cables and easy to setup.Great buy for the budget conscious consumer.
