PSE Perform-X SD Compound Bow

The PSE Perform-X SD as a bow is pretty much perfect for serious target archers with a draw length within the 21-27-inch range. The smaller framed shoot through riser design is great, the draw cycle and performance are made for a shorter shooter, and the bow size is perfect for those archers who are a bit shorter. The potential drawbacks come more from PSE marketing strategy, and not from flaws of the designed bow. The price is expensive, which is not a shock. The Perform-X SD is also a premium target model, and the $1699 price tag is comparable to every other target model on the market. Along with the price tag is an upcharge for three colors. Come on PSE, it is 2020, finish option upcharges seem out of place and should not happen. If there is going to be an upcharge, throw in some color matched strings or something to further sweeten the deal. The limbs are also only offered in two configurations. To be fair, those two choices will most certainly outfit the majority of shooters, but it would be nice to see a heavier poundage available as well. The PSE Perform-X SD is a fantastic looking bow, and it shoots absolutely lights out. For those in the 21-27-inch draw length range, this bow deserves a serious consideration from the best archers looking for a new competition bow... read full review
