Thanks form Scotland. I got one of these and had to wind the draw all the way down to 30 pounds.. ( shoulder problem ) .. It embarrasses me how easily you drew it on full whack.. What a guy .. Bless you
Sb1 has a larger adjustment range so would be better for someone very young and still doing a lot of growing. If it is an older person who won’t need as much of an adjustment range, I actually liked the Stinger a little better.
My eldest son shoots this bow in the 2017 model. It shoots nice. My biggest complaint was quiver would fall apart until glued and it throws the limb dampers off. All things easily fixed. Good price for what you get. Thanks again Sean, quality reviews matter!
Another nice review Sean. For a camo bow ready-to-hunt with (excluding arrows and release) that comes in about $400, this is a nice bow. Years ago I bought my sons a PSE (as you grow bow) and they used it for many years and I could set it up as a back up bow if need be. Looks like it has a good draw cycle. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sean, thanks for the amazing content! I really learned so much by watching your videos. Would you recommend this bow over the Diamond Edge 320? In your recommendation you tested shorter Stinger. Since I have a 30 inch draw length and start with 50-60 pounds I would not "grow" so much with the bow. Best regards from Germany 🙏
This is still my first bow ,it's great untill around 1k arrows now it feels like it locks up on draw aprox every 40-50 th arrow. bought it 2014 ,not sure if this is me or the bow.hit 2.5k arrows with the same string ,done my back in,now it lives in it's case till i get a new string and im more mobile.thanks for everything Sean in the past,God bless.ox
great video, what do you recommend? should I stay with my 2017 stinger and get new bowstrings and accessories or should I give it to my little brother and get a bow in the 700 dollar range? my father has a bowtech reign 7 and its noticeably superior, much quieter, faster, and way better backwall.
Well, that could go either way. I’d say whichever you prefer. Both are good options. Option two enables you to get someone else into archery. If buying a 700 dollar bow, look into Elite Valor (I think it’s called) and xpedition mountaineer, as part of your options. God bless.
Came here to say I've owned this bow for 3 years now and I do have the money to get a high end bow. However, I'm sticking with this one for at least 2 more seasons. It's a good buy
Technically, you can but it is a short axle to axle length so there will be a lot of finger pinch from the string at full draw. You need a bow with a long axle to axle length to shoot with fingers
I killed my first deer with this bow right when it came out! nice little bow for a beginner bow hunter set it up the night before a hunt and in the am i shot my first doe!🤘🙏 now i got the triax
Hey Sean. Love your reviews. Ive been using this bow PSE Extreme and found there are two settings "performance" and "grow with u". I seriously do not like the performance setting due to the large climb and dump at the end of the draw cycle + the jumpy short valley. Have been using the grow with u setting which is slower but a much smoother pull.
I liked your review as always. I’ve been shooting that stinger for 4 months now. It got me totally addicted to archery. Very accurate and pretty fast. I do have to chase the D loop and Peep site as they spin occasionally but this is due to no serving on the string where it wraps around the wheel up top. Other than that it’s a good work horse of a beginner bow.
Hello Sean I'm thinking about buying the Pse stinger 3g. Would you recommend this bow for entry bow. It would be my 1st compound bow. Someone has one in brand new shape In my area for $250! Do you think that is a good deal?
Good day Sean. I have viewed almost all of your videos regarding how to's and hunting videos. I am really interested in buying a bow for myself to hunt with.. I am located in South Africa. But I don't know what bows are good beginner bows but that has a good durability to last me years before buying a new bow (as money can be an issue.) What would you recommend looking at? My draw length is 27 inch. Am able to draw 70 lbs last time I checked.
@@seansoutdoors hi Sean, I went to my local bow store and we have talked a little bit over bows and what you said and so forth. In the end after a long talk the guy took me to the mathews switchback. I have realised that it is a single cam bow and the details this guy told me betweem the twin cam and single cam didn't help me at all. I didn't see a video on your channel about this. Can you make one? I honestly don't know even after talking to this guy if a single cam could work well enough for hunting. And what are the major differences.
Ha, that's awesome, i just saw your reply to me purchasing my trophy ridge react pro after your review... Which i bought for my PSE Stinger (im a very fresh and new beginner). So very curious what youre about to say about the bow. Cheers for the amazing videos
Is it possible for you to review the pse drive x, I think it’s a very good bow and there isn’t much info on it. I got the bow and it’s amazing, smooth draw, fast, and no vibration
To whom it may concern. I bought the PSE stingers MAX from bass pro. 2 times the string jumped off the ideal wheel. Once’s at the shop while tuning 2nd at home while sighting in the bow. This is my first experience with a compound bow. Should this kind of thing happen? How do I fix the problem?
I just tested one that did the same thing out of the box. It had way too much cam lean. Look to see if the wheel on top has any lean. If it does, you need to remove the lean.
Hi Sean, love your reviews! Looking at one of these or a bear approach. Your review of the approach showed it didnt shoot above 300fps despite the single cam rated at 330fps from the manufacturer. Its $130 more than the stinger here in the rth package. Stinger seems to shoot what its rated to. Which bow would you choose between the two? Thanks
If you are looking for a single cam bow, the Stinger seemed really good. It’s only shortcoming is it comes off of the back wall a little easy. Everything else really impressed me on it. The Approach single cam was definitely slow. The approach HC has food speed but definitely was a more aggressive draw cycle. God bless.
Alright Sean I have a weird/dumb question because I’m a noob when it comes to bows so bear with me Why do people even buy expensive(600+)bows? I mean what do they get out of it compared to a 350 dollar bow? With the diamond edge it seems like it could be everything you could want so what’s the point? Is it like smoother draw or what? I would like to know what some disadvantages would be of a bow like the diamond edge (doesn’t have to be) but is it worth saving up?
More expensive bows are made with higher quality parts that are more resilient in extreme conditions, such as aluminum rather than plastic parts in some areas. The risers are also made with stiffer/better aluminum, adding to their rigidity, etc. these details also help in overall performance when you start getting really picky about extreme accuracy.
One of the other things you can get with more expensive bows is more speed. While it isn't speed that kills, having a faster bow means you can shoot a heavier arrow at the same speed as a lighter arrow from a slower bow. For short draw length people like me, this matters quite a bit. From a 300fps bow, I might be able to shoot a 380gr arrow at a decent speed, but with a 340fps bow, I can shoot a 450gr arrow at that same speed. Heavier arrows penetrate more due to higher momentum, and penetration is the name of the game.
You may be a bow noob, but bows follow the pattern of just about everything else. Cars, stereos, skiis, whatever. First - chinese made entry level stuff, functional but lots of cost cutting, results may be inconsistent, longterm usability probably compromised, but..200 bucks and you're out loosing arrows (the term is "loose" not "fire"arm). Second - entry grade western produced stuff. Fully functional, basic but solid components, long term usability is likely, will meet the NEEDS of practically everybody. Despite all the wannabe's cries of inadequacy only a tiny minority of archers are on the pro circuit with money on the table. 400-600 bucks will meet all your requirements. Third - high end stuff. Spending big dollars to fight for inches of improvement. Pro circuit archers with big money on the table look for this stuff (but are usually sponsored so get free gear). Otherwise bragging rights, though why bragging about money spent appeals to people I dunno, just show them your bank deposit slips if that impresses people. Like Sean says, machined metal parts, forged vs cast risers, important if you're drawing 80lbs I guess. 800+++ dollars. Maybe you spend extra to get carbon fiber to reduce weight. Like luxury vehicles etc the manufacturers collect a nice premium on top end stuff so they push it hard, sponsoring, advertising, paid endorsements that sort of thing. Geddy Lee of Rush plays with a battered bass he found in a pawn shop. It's the man not the gear that makes him a musician.
From one noob to another ;-) It's like a car, whats the difference between an impala and a bentley, they both have wheels, steering wheel and a roof to keep you dry. The materials are better, it's all a (bit) higher quality which makes it easier to shoot the same way. Then again, i might be completely wrong as i started archery (with this bow actually) like 4 months ago. Hope i helped out a bit.
The challenge is that not many archery shops stock many of those bows. Very often it is top and bottom and not much in the middle since most people who are looking for a bow in that price range can buy it online or will go to a major chain store like Cabelas to get it. I don't see too many bows in shops for that price range.
Thanks form Scotland. I got one of these and had to wind the draw all the way down to 30 pounds.. ( shoulder problem ) .. It embarrasses me how easily you drew it on full whack.. What a guy .. Bless you
Lol, thanks for watching and your comment made me laugh. God bless you
Bought the 2019 stinger x just over 2 months ago. Love it, great review
Great!
I'm thinking about getting the 2020 full kit for my first bow. Seems good value. Are you still happy with it?
Best archery Channel ever keep up the good work !
Between the sb1 and this stinger which one is the best ?
Sb1 has a larger adjustment range so would be better for someone very young and still doing a lot of growing. If it is an older person who won’t need as much of an adjustment range, I actually liked the Stinger a little better.
@@seansoutdoors Hi Sean! You still prefer the Stinger ?
@@thejudgek3194 It is good but here was my final results for this level of bow ruclips.net/video/buWDp1n73f8/видео.html
Awesome job ! I just bought it ! My local Archery shop said you can’t beat it ! Nice review ! 🇱🇷
Sweet. Enjoy it.
I bought this one as a hunting bow after having shot rifle and English long bow. It's very easy to use and quite effective.
Great.

Yer i have to jam the limb dampeners close to the riser on mine

Yes I agree. This bow makes a great option for a lot of people.
Pse surge same,30 draw lenght = 30.7" real.
Sir one question.
This bow, or diamond edge pro recommend you for 30" draw guy for hunting? Thnx
Either one will work well for the purpose.

Stings and cables stretch over time. They probably needed to be twisted back to the manufacturer’s specifications to tune the bow up.
I love mine, super accurate and quiet.
👍

Awesome. Enjoy it
Good afternoon. please a question. Is this bow suitable for shooting with fingers, without a trigger? Thanks for the video.
Technically, you can but it is a short axle to axle length so there will be a lot of finger pinch from the string at full draw. You need a bow with a long axle to axle length to shoot with fingers
Cheer's from Australia Sean awesome vid's i have got ton's of info from them thx.
Thanks mate! God bless ya
Sean's channel taught me all i ever needed from knowing nothing in archery.glad you found him.from south AU.ox
Just won this exact bow Saturday night. Not sure if I'm going to keep it though.
They are a nice beginner bow.

Hey Sean. Love your reviews.
Ive been using this bow PSE Extreme and found there are two settings "performance" and "grow with u".
I seriously do not like the performance setting due to the large climb and dump at the end of the draw cycle + the jumpy short valley.
Have been using the grow with u setting which is slower but a much smoother pull.
Thanks for sharing
You lose a few pound draw weight and length doin that but it doesnt really matter

Have you checked out the PSE Stinger ATK? I picked one up at sportsmans warehouse for 269.99 and it's a great bow
I have not tried that one
Freak! I just payed 369. 99 at Cabelas

Sean's Outdoor Adventures ok, no worries then
Hi, a friend of my selling one, my question is, can I use it as a target bow as well cause I'm gonna use it fore both target, 3d and hunting?
Yes. You may want to add some target archery stabilizers though.
@@seansoutdoors yes it has the FX4 stabilizer or should I get a longer one? Than your very helpful.
@@pauledspang9086 That depends on how well it stays balanced with the one on there.
Is that drop away rest set up properly? I read somewhere that the rest should be 90 degrees up when fully drawn back
Yes this is a somewhat odd rest.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures It is. I have a question for you, is bass pro shops a good place to get a compiuns bow tuned?
@@ItzHemp It ALL depends on the person working on it. If the person knows what to do then it is. If not, then no.

I think this one.
Great video great video!!!👌🤙👍💯
Thanks
I have a pse stinger xtreme I like it but next week I’m going to go pick up my new pse evoke 31
