OK. sounds like he wants to go another step up and get a Bowtech Assassin, binary cam. Same setup as the Diamond but dual cam. Spoke with a buddy that has three Bowtechs and he likes 'em. We'll shoot both bows more tomorrow and make a choice from how they feel.

My simple reason to not buy a Diamond is that they only sell the bow in a pre setup package.

I dont want their mediocre components on it, and have to replace them with something decent.

My son also shot and liked the Outlaw, but when I asked about buying the bare bow they said it only comes with the RAK package.

I contacted Diamond directly and asked how I can buy a bare bow and they also said it was not possible. So I told them they lost a sale and went to a PSE instead.

OK, both of us shot both bows, the Diamond Outlaw single cam and the Assassin binary cam. My son was previously set on the Assassin first time he shot and from reading reviews. After shooting again, he picked the Diamond single cam due to it's smoother draw and it felt right to him. As for me, I think I'll pick one up as well. They didn't have a 60-70# so he'll have to wait until Friday/Saturday for it.

What poundage is your bow set at? I just want to get an idea what most guys are shooting at. Thanks for your help.

Bows shoot better at their peak draw weigh,so if you want to shoot 60# buy a 50# to 60# and crank it down. I shoot 70# most will argue that that is not needed however I know I have the energy needed to do the job if I miss place a arrow and hit a shoulder. 60 to 65 pound is around the normal draw weight for those archery hunting.

My son is very muscular. He's getting the 60-70. I'm getting old so, I'm thinking the 50-60 for me.

I am about 46, 260# and fairly strong, but I went with the 50-60 set at 60, mainly since I am new at this and wanted ease and smoothness for me over speed. I like how easy it seems to be pulled back, and since most folks here and others told me that was more than enough that I needed for deer in MN.

Glad you guys found bows you like. Like I said, I like mine older model Diamond, but I really don't have much experience with anything else to compare to smile but it just seems easy.

I have the 60-70 and set at 65. Box, I will say that I shot a Parker BuckHunter as my first bow and this is like going from an old Chevy to a Corvette. To me, it rocks. I wish I would have kept my BuckHunter, though as a back up as it wasn't the smoothest but never failed me. Good working bow.

One of the biggest mistakes new archery shooter do is trying to shoot to much poundage. All that does is lead to punching the trigger and bad habits. Start your poundage at the lower side and increase it as you go. This isn't a pi$$ing match and a heart shot with 30# or 70# still results as a deer in the freezer.

I bought an Outlaw for my first bow in January and love it. It already has a turkey under its belt. One word of caution is to make sure you check all of the screws on the module/cam. I had one work loose and tear up my cable serving. I ended up using low strength loctite on all of them because they would loosen up every few hundred shots.

2nd year under my belt w/the Outlaw and its been great. $500+OTD and shoots straight, fairly quiet, etc.. Read the stats and compare. I'm a newbie, and will upgrade in the future, but bang for buck can't be beat! 2c

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
