PSE Bow Reviews

The Bottom Line:For $499, or $599 fully rigged, the Brute NXT and its binary cam system may be one of the best values in the PSE lineup, which is admittedly pretty competitive in the value offerings. This bow has 7.5-inches of draw length adjustment, and 35-pounds of draw weight without needing a bow press. The color... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE has done an outstanding job with the Carbon Air Stealth Mach 1 for 2020, by improving every single cricritiquetic shooters of the previous Carbon Air Stealth model had. The Mach 1 is such an awesome shooting bow, it may be the best model in all 2020. The laid back limbs make a huge difference in... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE is celebrating their 50th year in the archery industry, and the EVO NXT platform does not disappoint. The NXT 31 is the shortest of the EVO NXT lineup with a 30.5-inch axle-to-axle measurement, and also has the fastest speed rating out of the group as well. It is worth mentioning the slow speed rating... read full review

The Bottom Line:Target archery is shrinking in popularity in the US, and some argue the price to get started is more than people are interested in spending. The $699 price tag for the Centrix LD is an awesome way for shooters to get started in the world of target archery, without breaking the bank. Perhaps as shooters... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE bringing the Supra Focus XL LD to market truly shows their level of dedication in creating a perfect bow for every shooter, in every situation. The Supra Focus XL LD is a huge bow, and to be honest it is not for everyone. However, there is a market for a large framed bow like this with draw lengths... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE has done a lot of engineering over the years into the Supra name, and the Focus XL is the next progression in a line of really awesome target bows. The 40-inch frame accompanied with a 7.5-inch brace height allows for shooters to maximize their bow size for a desired amount of forgiveness and shootability.... read full review

The Bottom Line:For a fully set up bow, with a package price of $449, it is really hard to beat a rig like the Stinger Max. Although entry level models are often geared toward a younger shooter, PSE was conscious in making the Stinger Max available to all ages and shooter sizes. Almost anyone in the bow market can... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE has been outstanding in creating a bow for all shooters. The PSE Perform-X SD SE is a fairly limited niche type bow having a short 34-inch axle-to-axle measurement with a shoot through riser. This model is unapologetically compact in comparison to other target models, but is for sure going to make... read full review

The Bottom Line: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... read full review

The Bottom Line:PSE has always made exceptional equipment, and may be one of the most underrated bow companies in 2020. With a bow created for every shooter, and every price point, some shooters tend to look past PSE models because they are sold in just about every box store. However, the EVO NXT lineup is as premium... read full review

The Bottom Line:The PSE EVO NXT lineup is awesome, and the 35 LD is for the long draw folks wanting the Evolve Cam System on a hunting bow. With the draw length range of 26.5-32-inches, lots of shooters may be drawn towards the 35 LD/ For the longest draw shooters, the LD may be the only option. However, for those with... read full review

The Bottom Line:The 2020 PSE EVO NXT has limited bells and whistles, and is in no way flashy. To many shooters, the lack of marketability and increased buzz around the release of a flagship bow may be a turnoff. However, for shooters basing their decision to purchase based on how a bow feels and shoots, the PSE EVO... read full review

The Bottom Line:The PSE Centrix SD partnership with S3DA is an awesome collaboration. For PSE to offer a fairly affordable target model geared towards younger shooters really speaks to their commitment to grow the sport of archery. Anything companies can do to promote the sport to younger shooters is great for the... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Bandit NXT is an awesome shooting bow, which may turn some people off being called a high-end youth model. Aside from the bow being smaller framed, and peaking at a draw length of 26-inches and a draw weight of 50-pounds, nothing about the Bandit NXT is typical of a youth bow. The cams are amazingly... read full review

The Bottom Line:The PSE Drive platform has always been one of the best values in the archery world, and this new Drive 3B does not disappoint. This rig is an awesome feeling bow, but when considering the price point, it becomes an outstanding feeling bow. The three track cam system has a super draw cycle, great speeds,... read full review

The Bottom Line:The PSE Unleashed is appealing for a variety of shooters including those looking for a flagship style bow at a more budget friendly price, longer draw lady shooters, adults just getting started, or adolescents with a little growing left to do. For shooters interested in having a complete set up right... read full review

It performs flawlessly with the shoot ability of the Evolve Cam System, has favorable specifications for 3D shooters, tons of color options, and a giant let-off range to choose from. The price tag is scary, and when looking at... read full review
