Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

PSE is great at offering bows for every shooter regardless of their personal preferences. The Source HD is a high let off hunting bow designed with a having a smooth draw cycle in mind. A longer axel to axel measurement of 33-inches and a 7-inch brace height makes the bow pretty forgiving as well. The Source HD is also one of the most affordable Pro Series bows PSE offers for 2015. Although other Pro Series offerings have some added features, like the Flex guard or higher quality factory strings, for $699, the Source HD is a great value and should be what many shooters are looking for.

The Source bow following is comparable to the Vendetta following of a few years ago. Like the Vendetta, the Source is not a flagship bow, and in fact has arguably two or three more highly sought after bows in the PSE line up above it with the Full Throttle, DNA SP, and perhaps the DNA. With that being said, the Source takes great speed, a longer axel to axel measurement, and a 7-inch brace height and adds a cam system that is easy to pull while maintaining solid performance and winds it up into one reasonably priced package. Shooters will have to look hard to find something wrong with the Source bow, but those wanting a little longer axel to axel model with some extra brace height are sure to love what the Source is all about.
