Genesis® Original

Genesis, the first compound bow that automatically covers all draw lengths, is now available in a convenient kit. It’s the perfect introduction to the sport of archery for young and old alike.

The zero let-off feature helps to pull the string from the fingers upon release, making it easy to shoot.

Along with the single-cam Genesis bow, the set features several other components that will help beginners be fully prepared to take on the sport of archery. Kit includes a durable vinyl tube quiver and arm guard with dual reinforced adjustable VELCRO® straps. It comes with five aluminum target arrows, and an arrow rest and string nock-point installed, so it is ready to shoot right out of the box.

Children can’t outgrow it because there is no specific draw length. And, since the draw length is always right, it’s extremely easy for beginners to share and shoot.

This is the Official bow of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), and is the bow used in Parma Armory Shooting Center’s famous 90-minute “Taste of Archery” classes and 6-hour “Introduction to Archery” classes.

Genesis® Gen-X™

Powerful enough for hunting, simple enough for anyone to use. The new Gen-X® single cam allows up to 40 pounds of draw weight to add velocity and kinetic energy to your shot, so it’s perfect for stronger target archers and is approved for whitetail hunting in most states.

In addition to providing smooth traditional-bow-like instinctive snap-shooting, this versatile bow accepts many compound bow accessories such as string peep sights, front sights, string loops for mechanical releases, kisser buttons, and more.

Up to 65% let-off for easier holding and aiming. This cam also exceptionally well, making it a great candidate for various forms of instinctive shooting, like bow-fishing!

The Gen-X® bow kit comes with a fiber-optic sight, whisker biscuit rest, detachable quiver, and 4 carbon arrows. Add a nock point or string loop, and its ready to shoot right out of the box. Professional setup is available at Parma Ara Shooting Center.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband took me here for my birthday. He reserved a lane and an AR15. We had Joe as an RSO. He was AMAZING!! I can't say enough good things about him. He was patient, informative, and an all around good human.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best 2 story shooting range I have ever been to, the staff was very knowledgeable on the firearms I was interested in. I love archery and this is also offered, I did not get a chance to shoot my bow but the layout and 3D targets was very nice and I have seen many archery ranges over the years, running one off York road in the past. You won't be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been here 3 or 4 times, looking forward to many more.

The sales representatives are knowledgeable and have always answered my questions kindly.

I'd like to shout out the RSO Harold, the range was a little slow and he came over to my lane and gave me some tips and techniques to try out.

In my opinion, thats what it's all about.

I brought a brand new shooter here the emphasis on safety in the branding as you walk in, the store, the lanes, the through range rules before entering the range, all lead to the new shooter having a great experience.

Plenty of rentals to choose from, and while you can find better prices on ammunition at local retailers, there's only a difference of a few dollars between the range and retail.

Very happy to have stumbled upon this range, great job.
