PSE Bow Reviews

The Bottom Line: PSE has produced a compact bow with a forgiving brace height of 7.5-inches capable of 326 feet per second with hunters in mind. Going against the lightweight bow trend, the Drive's 4.6-pound weight will be welcomed by some and rejected by others. The bow is as silent and shock free as they come, and holds on target like a much longer bow. With tons of customization options straight from the factory at an extremely affordable price, the Drive is hard to overlook for shooters wanting a new hunting bow...read full review

The Bottom Line: For $499, shooters interested in a new hunting bow owe their wallets a test shoot of the Sinister. This bow represents everything hunters seem to be interested in and is definitely worth a try. Nothing has been sacrificed to produce this bow, and it proves to be a wonderful hunting option available for 2013. For shooters able to get over the slightly aggressive draw cycle, the Sinister is sure to perform well in the field as a hunting bow...read full review

The Bottom Line: PSE has never offered a bow this compact, lightweight, and fast. The Drury brothers know hunting, and it is obvious they had a say in creating this bow. Shooters on the market for a high performance speed bow with desirable hunting characteristics should give the DNA a chance. Customization is almost endless with tons of factory options available. The draw may be a little stiff at first, and the 70% let off may take some time to get used to, but after shooting them a while, shooters will have no issues with either of these characteristics. 352 feet per second is fast, and that speed will all but eliminate any errors in judging the distance in the field. Shooters interested in a new hunting bow should take a long look at the PSE DNA...read full review

The Bottom Line: A single cam producing 340 feet per second is worth a test shot even if speed is not the most desirable thing. The Prophecy features some great technology for a mainline bow and should appeal to those interested in a new hunting bow for 2013. The ease of adjustability without a press or needing to buy parts makes the bow user friendly and easy to work on for those who like to tweak. The draw is a little more aggressive than other single cams, and it may take some time to get used to the 75% let off as compared with the 80% most bows come with. However, hunters owe it to themselves to give this bow a shot, especially for the $699 price tag...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Hammer is a great looking bow that is fun to shoot and competitively priced at $750. Those shooters interested in a speed bow with a little longer brace height will love the Hammer's EVO platform and smooth draw cycle. With sppeds up to 327 feet per second IBO, tons of cam adjustability, and great looking finish options, shooters should give this Hammer a try. Despite a little handshock, and a slightly heavy overall bare bow weight of 4.2 pounds, the Hammer is a definite contender for shooters wanting a hunting bow that can double as a 3d shooter on the weekends...read full review

The Bottom Line: The PSE Revenge is a great option for short draw shooters in the market for a hunting bow. The speed from this bow combined with a smooth draw cycle, high end strings, and a relatively inexpensive price tag may entice many shooters in the market for a hunting bow. Although the draw is a little stiff, it is very smooth. The ease of changing draw length without expensive cams or modules and without needing a bow press is a great design that will allow shooters to fine tune their own rigs to fit their shooting needs. Shooters interested in a short axel to axel bow with great speeds have a nice option with the PSE Revenge...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Bowmadness 3g is very appealing on paper and shoots just as well. The shock free release and IBO speeds of 330 feet per second have a lot to offer all archery shooters. With a long riser and forgiving brace height, the Bowmadness holds very well at full draw and is one of the most shock free bows available in 2012. There may be a few single cam bows with an easier draw cycle, but those interested in speed will be willing to make the trade off. With an MSRP price of $599, it will be hard to find a better shooting bow at a lower price. The 3g performs as well as bows priced much higher. For shooters interested in a truly multipurpose bow that can be used as a target bow as well as a hunting bow may not need to look any further than the Bowmadness 3g...read full review

The Bottom Line: Long draw shooters do not have many options available to them. Most options available are a redesign of old technology that is made to work for long draw shooters. PSE designed the Freak specifically to meet the needs of long draw shooters. Although shooters interested in a longer axel to axel target bow may be drawn to the Freak as well, shooters who will be most interested are those with a draw length over 30-inches. The smooth draw, forgiving brace height, and long riser makes this a great bow and a sweet shooter...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Stiletto proves to be a great option in the limited number of bows designed for female archers. The growing population of females wanting to bow hunt deserves a bow that is designed specifically for them. Although the cute pink look may not be for every female shooter, the bow has tons of really great features making it a great choice. An amazingly smooth draw cycle and very impressive speeds considering the specs, gives this bow a lot of great things to offer. Female archers interested in a hunting bow have very few options available to them specifically. PSE offers a great option with the Stiletto...read full review

The Bottom Line: The PSE Dreamseason EVO is a great addition to the already successful X Force line. A bow this smooth is typically much slower; because of this shooters are equipped with a faster bow with more kinetic energy than before without a more extreme draw or added draw weight. With several technology upgrades and the convenience and ease of the adjustable cam, this bow promises to be PSE's flagship bow for 2011. The EVO is not the most inexpensive bow, but many feel the technology upgrades are worth the extra money. The EVO has a very positive following and just may be what PSE is calling, "The Ultimate Hunting Bow." Overall, the EVO would be a great bow for those looking for a fast, balanced, smooth drawing hunting bow that works well in the tree stand or ground blind with the ability to shoot 3d on the weekends...read full review

The Bottom Line: The PSE EVO 7 was created for those shooters who want a fast bow, but are not willing to go with a shorter brace height. PSE did a nice job responding to the wants of shooters by producing the EVO 7 along with the EVO. With 335 feet per second, and tons of useful technologies, the EVO 7 is designed with hunting in mind. The EVO Hybrid cam is a very smooth drawing cam for a speed bow and will leave many in shock with how well it performs. The ease of adjusting the cam to meet individual needs without having to purchase anything is a great design as well. Although the bare bow weight is a bit on the heavy side, shooters interested in a smooth drawing speed bow should give the EVO 7 a shot...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Vendetta XS is a top quality and great shooting rig with very adjustable and extremely smooth drawing eccentric system. With a solid back wall, this bow is balanced well and aims easily. While a bare bow could have less vibration, when fully equipped this bow is a great shooter. Many experts firmly believe this is one of the best shooting bows introduced in 2010. Designed specifically for hunters looking for a lightweight and highly maneuverable bow, this rig is ideal for tree stand and blind hunting. While it's a high quality rig, the Vendetta XS has a very reasonable price tag and is a great value for money...read full review
