40-70#, One Limb
No more absurd limb changes and tiny adjustment ranges. The new Core has only two part numbers ... right hand and left hand.  Every Diamond Core adjusts all the way from 40# up to a full 70# at ANY draw length.  All you'll need is a hex wrench.  You want more power - just crank'er up.
Arrow Caution
When you order your new Diamond Core, we will include arrows of the appropriate length and spine stiffness for the initial bow settings you request.  But since this bow has such a HUGE adjustment range, you could easily adjust the bow beyond the capabilities of your original arrows.  So if you dramatically change settings, you'll probably need some new bullets too. 
Suppression
Diamond integrates their string suppression system into the new Core.  There's no need for string silencers or cat-whiskers.  The string stop arrests string oscillation before it has a chance to generate noise.

Most bow companies bend over backwards to offer a bigger selection of expensive bows, rather than more AFFORDABLE bows.  We hear countless tales of woe about high manufacturing and material costs, and how good bows must cost $800 or $900.  But you know what?  That just isn't true.  Diamond proves that year after year with some of the market's best-selling and best-shooting affordable bows.  We expected the new Diamonds would be good deals for 2013, but the new Diamond Core is just ridiculous.

The Diamond Outlaw practically decimated the mid-price bow market in 2011 and 2012, and we think the new Diamond Core is an even greater threat.  At just $499 R.A.K. equipped and $555 fully loaded and Ready-to-Hunt™, the new Diamond Core is priced like a bargain close-out bow.  But this is no basic starter-bow design.  The new Diamond Core is a brand new bow, built to be fast, sleek, and lightweight.  In spite of the beautiful long-riser parallel-limb design, this bow weighs just 3.2 lbs.  That's lighter than the Mathews Hēlim @ $949 AND the Hoyt Carbon Element G3 @ $1,499.

More importantly, the Core is a fantastic shooter.  We tested early prototypes at the Bowtech factory in the fall of 2012, and we were blown away by how quiet and shock-free this bow really is - not just for a "cheap bow" - for any bow.  The integrated string stop does a fabulous job at arresting string noise, and the unit just feel good and tight - no buzzing, no rattling, no kick or drama at the release.  From what we can see, the only thing "cheap" about this bow is the price.  Another home run for Diamond! 
        
Of course, we've loaded this great bow up with everything:  rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, bow case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE.  But don't expect the box to be full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because this awesome rig comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case.  Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance.  So this awesome bowhunting rig arrives 100% ready to shoot.  Scroll down for all the details.

Bow Package Details:  Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2013 Diamond Core Bowhunting Package
is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional.  Every detail is attended to.  The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings.  The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow.  Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new
2013 Diamond Core Bowhunting Package.  Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy.  We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly.  3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters.  We use the 25/2 rule.  If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new
2013 Diamond Core Bowhunting Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met.  While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot.  This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard.  When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer.  And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry.  You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range.  Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2013 Diamond Core Bowhunting Package will likely shoot a measured 267-306 fps once setup with a "loaded" string.  NOTE:  Expect lower speeds (but increased Kinetic Energy) if you select the heavier XX75 Aluminum Arrows. You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2013 Diamond Core Bowhunting Package.  This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system.  Keep this sheet for your reference.  If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.
