desertcart.com : Genesis Gen-X Lightweight Compound Bow, Archery Hunting Bow for Adults w/Adjustable Riser, Cam Draw Weight, & Length, Draw Hand - Right, Black : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Best Starter Bow Ever! - (Attached pics are my groupings at 15 yards.) If you’re new to archery and don’t know where to start, this bow is absolutely the one to get. You can shoot it traditional style like me — I just added a simple arrow rest and use leather finger tabs — or set it up fully as a compound bow with sight, peep, and D-loop. Super flexible. I’ve tested many options, and honestly, for the price, nothing comes close. Once you’re consistently hitting bullseye at 20–25 yards with 40#, you can even sell it for around $80 and upgrade. Just remember to keep your string waxed for long life. Perfect for anyone starting out or practicing target shooting. Use below spine 30inch lighter arrow for best grouping and accuracy. 25lbs - 800 30lbs - 700 35lbs - 600 40lbs - 500
Review: So good that I kinda want to give it a name. - The Gen-X is the first bow I’ve ever owned, and I am absolutely thrilled with it. Even in the first hour of using it, I was able to consistently group and shoot accurately. This beauty is a dream! As a petite woman, I find the size, weight, and strength of the bow to be perfect. After starting off at 30 lbs, I can honestly see myself comfortably growing with this bow as I improve as an archer with no desire to upgrade to the fancy $700-$1000 range. Maxing out at 40 lbs is plenty draw weight for me, and I’d rather master that weight than consistently struggle only to shoot at crazy, impractical distances. This bow is going to be perfect for short-range stealth hunting, wether that be in brush or up in a tree! I installed an off-brand 3-pin sight and a high quality whisker biscuit to the bow with ease. The Gen-X is easy to understand and easy to use with no sacrifice to quality due to its ridiculously reasonable price tag. It really is the perfect compound bow!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What draw weight does this come initially set as?**
A: The bow has a draw weight of 25 - 40 lbs. It is adjusted easily with the ellen screws / limb attachment bolts which are fully screwed in when shipped which is the max of 40 lbs.

**Q: Does the genx come ready to shoot? arrow rest looks same as  original genesis. just want simple bow with higher dw.**
A: No. I had to run out to a local archery shop to buy an arrow rest when mine came in. But luckily the store had a NAP (New Archery Products) magnetic style flipper rest just like the ones included with the original Genesis (regular) bows. (This one was a screw in model, but otherwise they work and look exactly the same).

**Q: Interested in buying this since I am first time user.  Does this come with the bare minimum to start shooting?  I don't need any fancy extras yet.**
A: It is the absolute bare minimum needed. You'll have to look up how to increase or decrease the draw weight on it, it does not come with those directions, but if the weight it come set at is good for you it is set up to start shooting right out of the box. It does not come with any arrows or protective gear so you will want to look into that first if you do not already have something.

**Q: What draw weight is bow shipped at. I am used to a recurve? The initial pull seems to be in 40 area.**
A: The Gen-X is easily adjustable with the supplied ellen wrench from 25 - 40 lbs. It comes tightened down to max draw weight of 40 lbs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing bow for the money
*by K***E on September 9, 2020*

I have brachial plexus palsy of the right shoulder and ordered this bow for the lower draw weight because I was afraid I couldn't pull alot of weight. Unboxing and first impression on this bow wow was I amazed. Definitely worth the money, shoots amazing and is really easy to draw back and hold even when set for 40 pounds. Speaking of weight this bow will amaze you with how light it is. Even my 6 year old son can hold it out and aim it fine. This is my very first bow but it's the 4th bow I've shot and of all this one is the smoothest and easiest one.
