Genesis Archery Original Genesis Compound Bow – 10–20 lb

The Original Genesis® Compound Bow is the official bow of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®) and one of the most widely used bows for introducing new archers to the sport. Its simple, durable design combines a universal draw length with an adjustable 10–20 lb draw weight, making it exceptionally easy to fit a wide range of archers.

Unlike conventional compound bows that require a specific draw-length setting, the Original Genesis features a 15–30 inch universal draw length and zero let-off design. This allows different archers to comfortably shoot the same bow without repeatedly changing the draw length, making it an outstanding choice for schools, families, clubs, camps and anyone learning archery.

Official Bow of NASP®

The Original Genesis® is the official bow of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®).

Its simple and highly adaptable design makes it particularly well suited to programs where many different archers need to use the same equipment.

The Original Genesis 10–20 lb model is the Genesis bow approved for NASP®, making it an excellent choice for students who want to practise with the same bow platform used in the program.

Universal 15–30" Draw Length

One of the biggest advantages of the Original Genesis is its universal draw-length design.

The bow accommodates draw lengths from approximately 15 to 30 inches without requiring the conventional draw-length adjustments found on many compound bows.

This means one bow can accommodate a wide range of archers, making Genesis especially practical for families, schools, clubs, camps and introductory archery programs.

Adjustable 10–20 lb Draw Weight

The Original Genesis offers an adjustable draw weight from 10 to 20 lb.

The lighter settings help new archers develop proper shooting form without struggling against excessive draw weight, while the upper end provides room to increase resistance as strength and shooting technique develop.

This combination of adjustable draw weight and universal draw length helps eliminate two of the biggest equipment-fitting barriers for beginning archers.

Zero Let-Off Design

The Original Genesis uses a zero let-off system, meaning the archer continues to hold the bow's draw weight rather than reaching the dramatic let-off commonly found on hunting compound bows.

This design encourages the development of consistent shooting form and eliminates the need for a precisely established draw length or conventional compound-bow draw stop.

It's one of the features that makes the Genesis platform so adaptable to different shooters.

Simple Single-Cam System

The Genesis Original uses a single-cam design that keeps the bow mechanically simple.

The system reduces many of the tuning complications associated with more complex compound-bow cam systems while helping provide a smooth, consistent shooting experience.

For beginners, families and organizations maintaining multiple bows, that simplicity is a major advantage.

Built for New Archers

The Original Genesis was designed to remove many of the barriers that can make getting started in archery difficult.

Its manageable draw weight, universal draw length, straightforward single-cam system and durable construction create a bow that new archers can learn with while concentrating on stance, grip, anchor, aiming and release.

It's equally at home on a school archery range, at an archery club or in a family's recreational shooting setup.
