Made for Smaller Archers

The Mini Genesis takes the versatility of the Genesis bow system and scales it down for younger and smaller-framed archers.

At only 2 lb, the bow is easier for smaller shooters to hold at full extension. The adjustable 6–12 lb draw weight also allows the bow to start at a manageable resistance while providing room to increase the draw weight as the archer develops strength and confidence.

That combination helps new archers spend more time concentrating on stance, grip, anchor, aiming and release instead of struggling with a bow that's simply too heavy.

Universal 14–25" Draw Length

The Mini Genesis features a universal draw-length range from 14 to 25 inches.

Unlike many conventional compound bows that must be set to a specific draw length, the Genesis system allows the archer to draw naturally within the bow's operating range.

This makes the Mini especially useful as a first bow because it can accommodate changes as a young archer grows and develops.

Adjustable 6–12 lb Draw Weight

With an adjustable draw weight of 6 to 12 lb, the Mini Genesis is considerably lighter to draw than the 10–20 lb Original Genesis.

The lower draw-weight range makes it easier for smaller archers to draw smoothly and aim without becoming fatigued too quickly.

As strength and shooting technique improve, the draw weight can be increased within the recommended 6–12 lb range.

Zero Let-Off Design

The Mini Genesis uses the Genesis zero let-off system.

Rather than reaching the substantial let-off found on many hunting compound bows, the Genesis system maintains resistance through the draw cycle. Combined with its universal draw-length design, this allows the bow to accommodate different draw lengths without requiring conventional cam adjustments.

Genesis also notes that the zero let-off design helps pull the string cleanly from the fingers during release.

Lightweight 2 lb Design

Bow weight matters when introducing smaller archers to the sport.

At just 2 lb, the Mini Genesis is significantly easier for a smaller shooter to support than a full-size compound bow.

The lightweight platform can help reduce fatigue during practice sessions and allows the archer to focus on developing consistent shooting form.

Mini Genesis vs. Original Genesis

The Mini Genesis is the smaller and lighter option in the Genesis family. It weighs 2 lb and offers a 6–12 lb draw weight with a 14–25" draw-length range.

The Original Genesis is larger at 3.5 lb and offers a 10–20 lb draw weight with a broader 15–30" draw-length range.

Important: The Mini Genesis is not the Genesis model authorized for NASP® competition. Genesis states that the Original Genesis 10–20 lb model is the only Genesis bow allowed in NASP®.

Why Buy This?

The Mini Genesis addresses one of the biggest challenges when introducing a smaller archer to compound bows: finding equipment that's light enough to comfortably hold and easy enough to draw.

At only 2 lb with a 6–12 lb adjustable draw weight, the Mini gives younger archers a manageable platform for developing proper shooting fundamentals without unnecessarily fighting the equipment.

The universal 14–25" draw-length range adds another major advantage. Instead of immediately outgrowing a fixed draw-length setting, a developing archer has a broad operating range in one simple bow.
