Diamond Rapture? Godd begginer's bow?

[iscap_boy]

My club need a compound for teaching some people to shoot. It's the Diamond Rapture a good choice?

Thanks

Diamonds are a bowtech so yes it would be a top bow. but if you are looking for somthing cheaper

I shoot a Bowtech but I would recommend you look at the Mathews Genesis for the purpose you have in mind. No let off means it can be shot between 18-28" without adjustment. For beginners they are perfect. The Rapture is a nice bow but is modular and requires you to press the bow and change modules for each archer. It is also limited to 26"+ draw lengths.
Look here for more Genesis info; (btw dont let the 20# draw fool you they spit arrows out equal to a 35# recurve)

the Rintec is a kids/intermediate bow he needs a compound that will adjust to a variety of draws, the Genesis reigns supreme there, plus he is in Portugal so posting a second hand compound from Australia may not be viable :roll:

Psss, Dingoes, have you seen or shot a Rintec before? It's adjustable WITHOUT a press from 18 to 26 inches and it sure as hell ain't going to lose out to a Rapture.

Plus it has a proper letoff which the Genesis doesn't.

[DanceswithDingoes]

Psssss, Progen, I hope your English is better than my Malay, coz I distinctly said the Rapture needed to be pressed NOT the Rintec, which is a fine bow....for a kid :roll:
Iscap Boy gave us the impression he was looking for a bow that would cover all-comers, which BECAUSE of the no-letoff design the Genesis would do just that. I didnt think Id have to defend my advice/opinion by someone other than which it was intended. :roll:

[Progen]

Psss, just because I'm in Malaysia doesn't mean I'm Malay. :wink:

I was merely replying to the highlighted part. Take it easy, man.

ppssstttt both of you, Dingos is spot on, the Genisis rocks, but if you want a draw stopped bow Browning beats em both. 18-28" adjustment, no press required and cheap as chips.

[Progen]

Pssss, ok. :lol: This seems to be a new trend now. Anyway, ok, here's my little recurver's bit. I've shot the Genesis before. Quite a lot in fact when I was playing around waiting for my first recurve to arrive. Felt it more of a toy actually.

[Marcus]

pppsssttt but as someone who is involved with putting people through beginenrs curse who range from 4 foot tall up to 6'6" tall you need something easy to adjust quickly.

[Progen]

Pssss, ok ok. Maybe we have an easier time where I am because we Asians typically do not have such a wide range, heightwise.

What Browning have that range of draw lenght?

The Micro Midas, isn't it?

[Progen]

Pssss, both of the Micros have that capability, iscap. The Micro Midas and Micro Adrenaline.

I wonder how it'd be like for the adult shooters to shoot a 28 inch drawlength with a 6 1/2 inch brace height though. Should would be one nice fast arrow.

ps. I had to add in the Pssss. Quiet post. :lol:

[Marcus]

The Browning Rage has a 21-31" draw length range and is $475

[primal]

pppsssssss to the lot of you....... sorry dont know why i made this post. :-?

Psss, that'd be more useful to those in their late teens onwards then. Will there be some efficiency decrease with the cams allowing such a huge range in drawlength adjustment?
