Bear Archery Lights Out RTS

– Get Bear Archery’s most maneuverable bow and all you need to start shooting. This convenient combination starts with the Lights Out compound bow, the shortest and lightest high performance bow Bear Archery offers to hunters. The Lights Out’s performance starts with Bear’s patented compression molded Flare Quad limbs.

Diamond by BowTech IceMan

– Diamond by BowTech IceMan Compound Bow delivers big energy on its target with deadly precision time after time with the deadly quiet, vibration-damping Center Pivot riser technology and Diamond’s proven Single Cam technology.

Diamond’s hardest hitting bow, the IceMan’s superior performance starts with its distinctive Center Pivot riser. A piece of incredibly strong, durably forged aluminum made with Diamond’s Zero Tolerance Assembly process, this skeletal riser delivers precision shot after shot from an extremely lightweight bow. This distinctive riser design works in conjunction with Diamond’s VFT parallel limb technology and its 65 – 80% letoff single cam powerplant to deliver an incredibly smooth draw and maximum energy to the arrow upon release. This design also nearly eliminates hand shock and noise after the shot by dispersing the leftover energy not delivered to the arrow. The result of this innovative design is an impressive arrow speed of 310 – 318 fps.

Utilizing Diamond’s single rotating mod, the Diamond by BowTech IceMan Compound Bow allows hunters to precision tune their bow to individual valley preferences with adjustable draw lengths from 24” – 30” in 1/2” increments, providing an individualized, custom fit you can’t get with most bows. A unique shelf trough and thumb groove design bring the arrow closer to your hand, reducing vertical torque and creating solid stability at full draw for increased accuracy. The bow’s slim, two-piece wood grip provides a great hold, even in cold weather.

The IceMan’s roller guard and carbon shaft string suppressor absorb string vibration, virtually eliminating noisy side-to-side nock travel and prolonging cable life. The string suppressor is placed directly in line with the stabilizer bushing to transfer any leftover vibration away from your hand after the shot.

Axle-to-axle length: 31-1/2”; 7-1/8” brace height. Color: Realtree Hardwoods HD®.
