Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

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 is generating a lot of negative buzz around this bow, but anyone with experience testing the bow will know those are real numbers, and may even overperform the advertised speeds in the catalog. For those hunters demanding the most compact rig on the market, the NXT 31 is going to be tough to beat. The newly designed riser, added grip option, new finish offering, and laid back limb pocket design have all added minor tweaks to an already solid platform many shooters will love. The Evolve Cam System is the cam of choice again for this flagship hunting bow, and that is going to make lots of people very happy to see. However, with some many models using the Evolve Cam, it is possible some shooters will just stick with what they have, even with the great changes made in 2020. For a competitive price of a flagship hunting bow with an MSRP of $1099, the PSE EVO NXT 31 is going to be a popular bow for the diehard hunter this year. Read full review...

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 NXT 33 has a great shot of being very popular. The speeds are not fast, but they are honest real world performance, and that may be better for some shooters. The7-inch brace height is less popular on a hunting bow in 2020, but the added forgiveness may be a feature shooters want to have in their new hunting bow. The longer riser, and more laid back limbs do a phenomenal job of canceling noise and making the bow as vibration free as possible. It would be great to see some more popular finish options as well, but there are a fair amount of choices, and what PSE does offer looks nice. The Evolve cam system is a true piece of engineering genius, and the adjustability passed on to shooters is amazing. The NXT 33 platform has so many options for shooters to add personalized touches to, each setup could have a different feel. For those willing to look past missing flash, the PSE EVO NXT 33 is an outstanding hunting bow with potential to be a multipurpose bow for 3D shooting as well. For a competitive flagship price of $1099, the NXT 33 should be a very popular model for 2020. Read full review...
