Plano AW Bow Case Bone Collector Series Review
Since the archery tool popularly known as bow can be an expensive item, it is only logical and sensible to store your bow properly and securely. Also, proper storage of a bow is needful for safety purposes, especially if there are kids around who may want to toy around with it in your absence. Perhaps, the best way to store a bow when not in use is to pack it in a case made specially for it. And, one of such reliable bow cases is the Plano AW Bow Case Bone Collector Series.
About the Plano Bow Case
The major feature I find highly desirable about this bow is the thicker walls compared to a couple of other bow cases I’ve come across. These extra-thick walls help to provide better protection to the bow. And, the additional sturdier dual latches help to enhance security in a greater manner. Two of these latches are lockable, so, you can be sure of properly securing your bow.
The case has also been integrated with patented PillarLock System to help provide further security and increased sturdiness. I also love the thoughtfulness put into the handle design. The handle has ergonomic design that highly promotes comfort.
Features at a Glance
Rugged + Textured Exterior to Enhance Protection
As mentioned earlier, the bow case under review has been provided with extra-protection features such as rugged, textured exterior. Also, the walls of the case are thicker so that you will enjoy increased protection of your bow.
Ergonomic Design for Increased Comfort
The ergonomic design of the handle of this case is indeed a good concept. The handle simply feels comfortable so that you don’t have to worry about unnecessary inconvenience when you carry the case.
Resistant to Fluid and Dirt
Of course, you wouldn’t deliberately expose your bow to water and dust, since you know how those elements can negatively impact your archery tool. But, if it happens incidentally, as long as your bow is properly packed into this case, you don’t have to worry at all since the case is water-resistant and features dust resistant seal.
Very Roomy
There’s enough space in the case for both your bow and bow accessories. This way, you don’t need to carry extra bag for your other archery tools and accessories. In fact, you won’t have to detach the stabilizer on your bow before putting it into the case, especially if the stabilizer is less than 6 inches long. The roomy feature is obviously another desirable and attractive feature.
Completely Durable and High Quality Case
There is no doubt about the quality and durability of this bow holder. You can be sure that the case will offer extended-period (years) protection to your highly valued archery bow.
Other features include
• Customizable foam interiors
• Integrated arrow storage
• Corrosion protection
• Lots of slots
Also, this special bow storage tool is airline approved and comes with the Bone Collector Logo.
What is in the Package?
The case’s packaging contains details of what you should expect when you receive and open the package. So, ensure you crosscheck what is inside with what has been listed on the item’s package.
The Good & Bad
The Good: Without doubts, this bow case has tons of innovative features and desirable characteristics in stock for every archer. One of my favorite features is the amazing spacious nature of the case. Since I carry just every accessory that I need when going into the woods to hunt, this case is an extremely useful item for me. It is very roomy and comes with tons of slots. So, you can pack your detached quiver, hex wrench set, dozens of arrows, wrist guard and other accessories conveniently inside the case.
I also love its sturdiness. It is simply rugged. And, with the look of things, it will serve its purpose for a longer time. The thicker walls give me confidence about the safety of my bow. Also, the lockable latches help to keep my mind at rest when it comes to the security of my bow.
The case’s resistance to water and dust is really nice. Whether you are out in the snow, rain or exposed to dust, your bow and the accessories in the case will not be affected. These elements will not infiltrate the case to impact your archery bow. I love the way my bow is held perfectly and firmly in place with the velcro straps feature. As a result, even if you toss the case up and down, back and forth, the bow stays firmly in place.
The Bad: In my opinion, the company would have included tons of extra screw-down straps, as well as screws to hold other items firmly in place right inside the case. Also, the case is a heavy-duty item. I know that the heavy-duty concept is intended to provide extra protection, but it adds to the weight of the case.
Final Thought
It is evident that this bow case offers great returns for your money value. All the exceptional features indicated above are undeniable pointers to this fact. I highly recommended the item to any archery enthusiast.
Genesis Kit Compound Bow Review
If you are conversant with compound bows, you probably know they are the in-thing among archery enthusiasts. This is because the bow is more manageable to draw and carry compared to the traditional bows. That’s not all, this type of bow also comes with innovative draw-stops (pulley system) that can be adjusted to suit your optimum draw length. As a result, an archer is able to enjoy established consistent anchor point, as well as a reliable force on the arrow for each shot. This in turn helps to boost accuracy. These qualities and more are what you should expect with the Genesis Kit compound bow.
How The Bow Works
This bow by Genesis is designed to suit any archer. It now comes as a kit. Since I started shooting bows (over 15 years ago), I have used a couple of bows, but this is the first time I’m coming across a compound bow that features various draw lengths automatically, plus the kit is completely convenient.
Innovative Features and Highlights

They are also stronger, thereby promoting both the sturdiness and durability of the bow.Self Explanatory User Manual: The Owner’s Manual that comes with this special bow is extremely helpful. It contains easy-to-understand tutorials that will help you use the bow safely. It will also teach you how to integrate accessories onto the bow. Even a novice will find the content of the manual very easy to understand and apply.
State-of-the-art Single Cam Machinery for Increased Accuracy: The single-cam technology is a breakthrough design that revolutionized the archery bow industry over a decade ago. This compound bow has been integrated with this innovative single cam design to boost accuracy and promote noiseless shooting. As a result, shooting is nothing but much fun.
Zero Let-Off: Genesis technology has effectively and completely eliminated needless let-off with this archery tool. As a result, this state-of-the-art bow is a completely versatile bow for just anyone.
Adjustable Draw Length: Unlike many compound bows out there that have specific range of draw lengths, this bow has no draw length in particular, which makes it an excellent archery weapon for anyone. Anyone can adjust the bow to their preferred draw-length.
The elimination of specific draw length also makes it a perfect bow for kids – they will never outgrow it! On the side of beginners, this special feature increases ease of use.

Genesis Bow Review
Genesis Bow is flaunted as the Official bow of the National Archery in the Schools Program. One of the distinct features of this compound bow is its suitability for everyone – young and old. But particularly, they are more suited for beginning bow shooters since the user can adjust accordingly as he or she gets older. The bow is also designed in various colorful ways to make them even more appealing to the young and next generation.
As my manner always is, I love to always explore and display the best bows to archery enthusiasts. I was just trying to pick out the best shooting compound bows that target young archers and decided that this bow is worth showcasing to the young archery community and the archers in general after proving its concept, design and features.
Features that are Worth Your Attention
[imgb trackingid=”hunthacks-20″ asin=”B004T2MOZY” imgid=”71mBg4a3ZNL” altimg=”Genesis Bow”]Content goes here[/imgb]Any compound bow that I deemed fit to bring to my fellow archers (both old and young) must have captured my attention in a special way. This is exactly the case with this bow from Genesis.
Here are some great features of this bow that will surely grab your attention;
Official Bow in the Schools Program: My bow shooting buddy Tom said that his son came in from school one day and announced with excitement, “Hey everyone, my teacher said the Genesis archery bow is a bow for the family!” This bow is the Official Bow of the National Archery in the Schools Program. As a result, you don’t need to think twice before purchasing this bow.
T6 Aluminum Riser: The riser has been machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and has been structured to offer excellent balance. The T6 aluminum component is also a plus in boosting the durability of this bow. Besides, the riser has been drilled and tapped so that the user can integrate suitable accessories.
Lightweight: Shooting bows is easier and more fun when the bow feels more like a mere feather. This is another desirable feature that is bound to lure any archer to this innovative archer’s bow. Indeed, the bow completely feels weightless in the hands.
Easy-to-Adjust Draw Stop: With the already-provided Allen wrench, adjusting the draw stop is a piece of cake. So, you can change positions of the draw stop from 18.5 inches to 30 inches effortlessly.
Other features of this innovative bow that really grabbed my attention include;
• Zero Let-off
• Standard Draw Lengths
• Machined idler Wheel
• Machined ProCam
• Composite Limbs
• Cable Guard – Teflon-coated Stainless Steel
• Molded Grips
• 35.5” Axle to Axle
• Made in the USA
What Is in the Package?: When you buy this bow, check the content details on the package to be sure everything is in there. The contents have been clearly detailed on the item’s package.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
• Officially recommended bow
• Ultra light-weight
• Easy to adjust draw stop
• T6 aluminum riser
• Zero let off
• Standard draw lengths
• Suitable for the family
• Molded grips
• Composite limbs
• …and more
Cons :
I love to be realistic when reviewing archery tools. While this bow from Genesis is loaded with innovative features, I have some reservations that I would want to point out. First, I’m not very comfortable about the lack of warranty information.
I also discovered that this bow is right-handed. Although this is not an issue (just that it may not be usable by left-handed individuals), it would have been clearly stated so that it won’t be mistaken for a bow that can serve both right handed and left handed individuals.
Just as a warning: If you plan to shoot larger games such as a boar with this bow, you should think twice since the bow can only go up to 20Ibs in terms of draw weight. And, while adults can use the bow, it is primarily designed with the kids and young people in mind.
Final Thought
Although I have a few reservations (which I pointed out above), there is no doubt that this bow is innovative, standard and simply suitable for archery. In essence, it is worth every dime you invest to acquire it for your family. It is a great archery weapon.
Barnett Vortex 45-Pounds Youth Archery Bow (Camo) Review
A lightweight compound bow is obviously a good concept for people learning to get savvy with bow shooting. It’s always my pleasure to review only the worthwhile archery bows and items to my fellow bow-shooting enthusiasts, both young and old. The Barnett Vortex 45-Pounds Youth Archery Bow (Camo) is a good bow choice that takes account of the beginning and young archers. The lightweight feature is a major lure among other innovative features.
I stumbled on this compound bow recently when I was helping my neighbor to look for a desirable compound bow for his young daughter who seems to be falling in love with bow shooting as the days pass by. Since they’ve known me to be an unstoppable bow shooter, they’ve come to trust my judgment about compound bows and bows generally.
After looking at the features of four compound bows for beginners in details, I decided that this youth version of Barnett compound arrow would definitely be the most sensible choice because of the following reasons/great features;
The Receivables
[imgb trackingid=”hunthacks-20″ asin=”B003RXOOQI” imgid=”910Ft8st0sL” altimg=”Barnett Vortex 45-Pounds Youth Archery Bow (Camo)”]Content goes here[/imgb]Well-Known Brand of Compound Bow : If you are familiar with compound bows, you probably know that Barnett is one of the popular and trusted manufacturers of compound bows. I currently use the full adult version of this bow. And, when I saw this youth archery bow from Barnett, I had no doubt that the same quality found in the larger bows (both in design and function) will apply. And, I’m happy that my neighbor is pleased at his daughter’s improved bow-shooting performance with this bow.
Here are some of the outstanding features that can draw anyone to this special youth compound bow;
Lightweight – This Makes Bow Shooting Easier and More Fun: As I watched my neighbor’s 13-year old daughter grasp the bow as one would grasp a feather, I knew that archery would be easier and more fun for her. The light weight feature did not in any way diminish the top-notch design and superb function that charcterize the full-sized Barnett bows. It simply added increased ease to accommodate beginning and young archers.
24Ibs-45Ibs – Delivers Multiple Hours of Shooting Fun: This draw weight range is just perfect for youths and beginner archers. Besides, it makes bow shooting more fun for young people and will enable them shoot for multiple hours without feeling bored and tired.
Adjustable Draw Modules This innovative feature enables the shooter to change weight easily without bow press. So, the young archer does not need assistance in adjusting the draw weight of the bow while in the woods.
Double-Purpose Package: You won’t have to buy a separate carrier for this Vortex compound bow since the package doubles as a carrying case. Subsequently, you can store the bow and its components with ease, and transport it from one point to another without hassle.
16-49 Pounds Draw Weight – Suitable for Young Archers: This draw weight range is a sensible concept for a compound bow designed for young kids and young adults who are learning to get savvy with bow shooting. The young shooter can easily adjust the weight to suit his or her strength. My neighbor’s daughter prefers to maintain 30 pounds draw weight. She said that’s her favorite draw weight when she wants to achieve increased balance and proper positioning.
Three Arrows and Bow Arrow Holder: Unlike some brands that do not include arrows or arrow holder, this youth archery bow comes with three arrows and one arrow holder. So, you don’t need to buy these accessories separately. But, you will certainly need more than three arrows, so you can buy extra arrows for the bow.
Obviously, this Barnett youth archery tool comes complete with all that your young enthusiastic archer needs to master bow shooting safely and in a fun manner. It is made in the USA.
Pros&Cons
Pros : The top-notch features listed above are definitely what any standard bow for youths should come with. The bow truly delivers value for its money worth.
