Well, there are many characteristics of a bowtech but im not sure. The limbs look like bowtech limbs and they have the bowtech dampening system on the string and limbs, but the riser and grip look like no bowtech ive seen. The cams also dont look like bowtech cams. Im not really sure what bow it is though.
See I think that the lower cam gives it away. With that type of draw stop, itis without a doubt a bowtech cam.

Sorry, I'm too poor to know anything about those fancy named bows! Do you mind if I ask what you picked it up for though?

The guy was asking $100.00 I walked away, came back in 15min and offered $50.00....we settled on 65$. The draw fits me fine. It measures 31.5in 70lbs

It looks like the infinity cam but the top idler cam has a design I've never seen. I'm pretty sure it's part of the diamond line.

Kinda looks like an older bowtech I had...Bowtech Stalker but with a different riser

I did some digging and it sure looks ALOT like the Diamond Rapture only with a different grip, riser and cam cut outs and film dipping. Other than that the specs are very very close.






Leading-off the new Diamond Archery line-up, the new Rapture epitomizes the Diamond Bow concept with it's exceptional quality and superior value. With a retail price under $400, no other bow in it's class comes close to matching the performance and sophistication of the Diamond Rapture. Totally reengineered with Bowtech's leading-edge technologies, the Rapture features blistering speed with virtually zero recoil. Bowhunters are competition shooters alike are sure to love the Rapture's compact lightweight design, it's forgiving shooting characteristics, it's rock-solid back wall, comfortable grip, and the crisp high-definition New Break-Up camo finish.



IBO Speed:
300 fps

Axle to Axle:
33"

Draw Lengths:
26-31"

Brace Height:
7.5"

Peak Draw Weights:
50, 60, 70

It does look like a Bowtech/Diamond. You can buy wooden grips for the Diamond bows so maybe someone did that?

I bought a factory wooden grip for my Diamond and it doesn't look anything like that.
