It's a diamond infinite edge.

When I get the time to go out and play with it ill definitely send out a pm. Thanks.

The manual I got into a little bit. It went straight into setup.

I have been around bows for a long time and I didn't follow the golden rule of never drawing without an arrow nocked the other day. Needless to say, mine is at the doctor right now getting put back together.

[Jare23]

Yes this will be my main concern now with this thing. Ill probably freak out if anyone else picks it up just to even look at it.

Hey, at one point or another every single person on this site started out from square one right? If we all were pros this site would be like facebook. I am still learning thanks to the tbh family.

Curious also on what you paid for the Infinte Edge. Wanting to get my son one.

Glad your ok. Kudos to the employee(s) at Cabelas for going out of their way to get you back on path. That employee's action possibly violated "corporate policy" but was hands down the right move as they have won over a new customer who will sing their praises for many years.

As for you sir - WELCOME!!! Don't "get into" bowhunting without help - too many "little things" to it. Save yourself lots of time and dollars by taking people up on their offer to help you. I would also recommend taking a bowhunters education course offered through TPWD. And last but not least - WEAR A SAFETY HARNESS if you choose to hunt from a tree stand and spend an extra $40 to get a Lifeline made by Hunters Safety System.

Good Luck!!!!

I believe their posted price was $329. Military and first responders get 10% discount.

I've been bowhunting for several years but nothing like some of the cats on this site, they have a lot of miles under their belts. it can be a steep learning curve but with a little help here and there from folks on the site you'll be good.

everyone makes mistake in the beginning, its just the way it is. practice (safely), shoot with confidence and take care of your equipment and you'll be in good shape.

You'll learn a lot on here in no time. Glad you are okay. Now, here are some basics.

- never draw back without an arrow nocked

- never draw the bow back with just your fingers, as this can derail the string

- always flex test your arrows before and during shooting sessions to ensure they don't blow up upon release

This is very good advice. I have been doing all the above for years, but I had to learn the hard way!

i am fairly new to bow hunting and ANYTIME i have a question i come to the green screen to get help. Some advice when using the GS, don't ask which broadhead is the best cause this place will go crazy lol. This is the only place on the internet that i have laughed and have shed a tear or two on how great all these people can be. Welcome aboard!

Glad your ok. Dry fires are ugly, seen a couple. Sorry about your bad experience, ive always had good experiences with them.

[outdoordaddy]

Well, now you know

[Greywolf in Hawaii]

Glad your good. Don't sweat it because you aren't the first and won't be the last. I've wittnessed it myself.

What brand bow was it? Today's bows should not come apart like that after one dry fire. Heck alot of bows are dry fired many times at the factory.
But we are not supposed to try it.

When I attended PSE dealer school a few (many) years ago. it was Late June early July all the bow companies were coming out with a fall line of bows in time for hunting season.

PSE had a machine to dry fire the other companies bows to see how well they stood up to the competition, most of the time the string blew out at about 50-75 shots it was replaced.
The cables were next at 125-150 shots as well as another string. the limbs seemed to hold up into the 200-300 dry fire ranges, then the risers were the last to fail at about 400-500 shots

It amazes me to hear one dry fire and the bow flies apart like that.
String jumping the track...Yeah I can see that Plus I have replaced many at my shop too, but never a splintered limb on one dry fire.

Welcome to the fire my friend. I've learned quite a bit from this site and continue to do so.
