It is unwise to use a compound bow that is not adjusted to your particular arm length. The consequences are dire in which it can affect your performance and accuracy. If you don’t know how to set things up, you can visit an archery equipment shop and request for a set-up. But when you buy a compound bow, it comes with a manual that you can read on how to adjust the draw length.
Setting the Draw Length The factory setting of the draw length is at 26 inches. From, adjusting the draw length is done by dividing into three parameters: A, B, and C. The “A” setting is for 17 inches and above.
For anything lower than that number, go to “B” and “C” settings. Then, you will need a hex wrench to remove the screws that attach them to the cams. Do the adjusting from higher to lower by rotating the module to the desired length.

Cams Diamond Infinite Edge makes arrow travel perfectly smooth because of the eccentric dual cam system. The cams are elliptical and synchronized to each other. This means that it is utmost forgiving for the beginners in archery. The cam system may lower the speed for a bit, but you recover because of a smoother draw. About the draw cycle, it has remained consistent despite different settings as the cams make it possible.

Through the cams, you’ll have to undo the screws and rotate the modules then put the screws back on. Limbs and Riser Infinite edge has solid black limbs that are parallel to each other position on both ends. They are mounted on a one-piece riser. This riser is made of aluminum that makes it lightweight as also as durable.

Let-off Thanks to the cams, they make up the next level innovation in the bow industry. The let-off is simply one of the products of having cams.
Infinite Edge specifically has 80% let-off. What does this percentage mean?

If you intend to shoot at a 70-pound draw weight, the weight you only have to pull is 20% of this number.
