I am still using my Hoyt Razortec I ordered 20 years ago! 32" axle to axle, witha 6.5" Brace height. I have Robinhood so many arrows at 20yds that I absolutely never shoot more than a single arrow at a time at a single target. So I stopped doing groups at 20yds long ago, 30yds my bow will group 1 to 2". I thought about replacing with a new Hoyt or PSE, my 2 favorite brands, but that itch never got strong enough. I did waste my money on a $1300 TenPoint crossbow that I never used 10 years ago that's sitting in my game room, brand spanking new.
Pretty impressive, considering PSE was bought by the Outdoor Group last year and some people expressed their concerns on whether PSE bow quality would diminish. I'm not going to rush out and buy the Mach 30 to replace my Levitate, but even in a subjective test like this where three people shooting the bow had similar tight groups suggests the design is pretty solid. Now the question is--can PSE sustain this, and improve on it to produce tge "Bow of the Year" next year. Not everyone has to agree. If you bought a Lift or an RX-8 this year and are satisfied with it, that's YOUR top bow for 2024, and that's what matters. Master you bow, and you'll get great results. Good hunting to anyone who has read this far.
As a shop owner, it must be great to get to shoot test all the newest bows. But I'll bet it's challenging to figure out how to convince potential customers as to why this year's model is so much better than last years.
Especially when it’s all just bs and gimmicks at this point. I truly feel that the quality of product from every bow company across the board have took a nose dive.
It's chill they keep coming out with new stuff every year. I'll stick with my 2014 Bear Attitude though. I used it in an in house tournament at a local range this past weekend (1st tourney ever) and shot 305 out of 360. Only the to 3 got placed and at least 1st/2nd were 328 so i don't feel that bad about my score. I was also using cheap Vital Impact arrows from Sportsman's.
I read the full article, noticed a few different stabilizers were used. Was there a consensus on stabilizer for the Mach 30 from the group? From video it seems it was the Frankenstein stab… I’m having issues quieting mine down
Wishing there were more criteria used for this year's bow review like what was used in previous years bow of the year reviews. Used to get real scientific and even used sophisticated equipment to measure such things as shock.
We found the lab measurements of shock were a little misleading because the accelerometer can only measure for forward movement, not residual vibration. So it could measure if a bow jumped forward after the shot, but not if it buzzed your hand. We think three different archers judging the post-shot experience gives a more well-rounded look at what you can expect.
@AntonyKarolis house and a bow are two totally different things, one you need, the other is nice to have. But to play along on another dumb question.... my house I bought 21 years ago for 145,000 the appraisal value is 210,000 so that's a 69% increase. Now one of my custom bows I bought 15 years ago for around 400 is now selling for about 1200...... three times as much. And a top of the line compound, bought 30 years ago was about 200 and came with a quiver, sight, rest , and arrows .... now go look and see what they bring. And like I said, a home is pretty much a need, a bow is not. Anymore questions?
Absolutely hilarious to see "adult men" falling into the Marketing Rabbit Hole. This really explains a lot about the " Purpose of Life" topic & what the future looks like.
Curious to see these groups in some wind/weather. not saying that it doesn't affect shooting for all bows, but the lighter you go, the more difficult to hold in weather conditions. My old Creed Xs was super light and short. Holding in a breeze was extremely difficult.
I have a Levitate, the 1st edition with the E2 cam, and have shot a few through my friend's Mach 34, and 1 thing they both do extremely well is hold on target...it's actually kinda weird how well they hold..
I’m new to archery, is some kind of special technique to point your bow towards the sky at an extreme angle while drawing back an arrow as demonstrated in the video?
pretty sure thats considered taboo. Im not an experienced bloke like that guy by any means. i just know that it usually means the poundage is too high.
The thing is, every bow that PJ stands in front of a camera with,is awesome. In My opinion he is not a credible source in terms of reviews. Not one time have I ever heard him utter the phrase, ' what I don't like about this bow. '
The Era wins in the post shot category. It's 100% dead after the shot, which makes it very fun to shoot. But, the Mach 30 DS wins in the accuracy and forgiveness category. It holds on target better than anything we've tested to date.
The Mach 34 is fantastic, and we tested it in 2023. It tied the Elite Era for most accurate last year. I think 30 DS will appeal to most people and the 34 is ideal for archers who like the string angle on a longer bow or have a long draw length. You can read last year's test here: www.outdoorlife.com/gear/best-compound-bows-2023/
Gotta say I was worried about the new ownership but since this one and the others came out it’s clear pse is gonna try to dominate going forward and who wins the customers! 🤘🏻
PJ uses increasing tension to activate his shot. That tension in his body has to go somewhere and it results in a follow through. The arrow is LONG GONE by the time his body reacts
I can not agree..A short bow can group good, too.. In fact you should be able to do that in my opinion.. A long riser might help but if you train enough it is not about the bow that much..The ZT cam (zero torque) was made by Hoyt 2018.. e.g.
Been trying to explain what you are calling “dynamic brace height” to many people claiming that reflex measurements matter. I’ll have to use that term now instead of calling it horizontal tangent point travel. I’d say that the majority of archers with an internet voice do not understand any of this or why it matters.
I think the main difference between our review and others is that we tested all the flagships head to head with multiple archers and tested them for accuracy. The data ultimately decides the winner and this year in particular it was a landslide.
Most all older bows actually feature this technology where the “dynamic brace height” at full draw is longer than the brace height at rest. However some bows for example I’ll just say it, Mathews hunting bows, actually have a shorter “dynamic brace height” than the actual brace height. This is due to limb and cam design. The reason for this stability is the moment arm length “dynamic brace height” that the string tension has to resist torque around the axis of the grip. Not a new concept at all . I personally don’t like the idea of calling it dynamic. It’s not dynamics it’s still statics. Just statics at full draw. Dynamics would be how the bow reacts upon release. It’s not the riser reflex that hurts stability as many are trying to make us believe based upon their theories. If these archery “experts” could draw a simple free body diagram or do basic statics they would understand archery a lot more and wouldn’t parrot their undeveloped theories. I still cringe every time I see a bow review where riser reflex is measured and that measurement is the basis of a stability claim.
@@theingobeck4772 It takes us nerds that understand archery and basic physics to push the industry in the right direction and to get past the marketing and influencer bullshit that seems to be plaguing the industry right now. Lots of guys with a lot of good information they are sharing but an equal amount of bullshit being parroted. In my opinion the number one completely false claim being made is that reflex measurement can be used to compare the full draw stability of different bows. In reality there is only one measurement that can be taken at full draw that matters and that is the length of the moment arm resisting torque. A simple measurement to take with a straight edge and ruler at full draw. But instead we will just keep hearing people say a bow should be demerited because it has reflex riser geometry. The worst is seeing people discuss where to take a reflex measurement and why their measurement point is the rightful one.

Just because everyone repeats a theory enough doesn’t make it true and unfortunately that’s where the archery industry is at. Took us nerds to convince the world that it’s not flat.
Accuracy is the shooter, not the bow it comes from good form and practice. The bow just makes it comfortable, I’ve watched guys shoot bows just carved out of a piece of wood and it was like wow! So before you spend the money make sure you are worthy of it.
I took the plunge and bought one. Pricy, pricy, pricy. My groups were not as good as PJ’s, until I made this change - stabilizers. This bow come alive with both a front and side stabilizer.
completely opposite review from MFJJ. He shit on this bow. I am surprised to see an honest review on the PSE and the fact the new matthews didn't make the top spot. PSE is a grossly underrated bow at this time. Many more matthews/hoyt fanboys should give PSE an honest shot.
It's funny how the actual footage is like everything is wow & then u go into the comments and there's nothing but negativity... Pro tip: always go to the reviews/comments... Real people real experiences real answers
Compound bows are great for power and accuracy. Perfect for weekend hunters. If you truly need to survive, you can’t fix it without a professional bow shop and special equipment. Go traditional.
Not true at all I can disassemble and reassemble my compound in the field without a press. I shoot traditional as well and while it is fun, it is like getting out of my new pickup and into a horse and buggy and making a 300 mile trip. You will still get where you’re going. But not anytime soon.
We backed it off to make it equal to the other bows in the test. The one we had to work with was a 70-pound model and all others were 60-pound bows. Me, personally, I shoot it better at 70 pounds than at 60.
$2000.00 + bow? WHY? Self made Long Bow, or my purchased 'Raptor' from Simon's Bow Company. 'Raptor' is a "Tartar Style" Ancient bow design. Thumb release and all, with Tartar/Turkish 'Raptor'. With both bows I get better than 1 inch groups(5 arrows@ 198 Raptor/167 Self Bow fps) at 25 yards.....Raptor cost $400eu? My $60.00 Marlin Model 60 .22...still shoots circles around most of the expensive .22 Target Chassis, blinged out guns I have come across. LEARN TO SHOOT and save your money! Not saying I wouldn't buy one though lol I am complicated 🤣🤣 Love me some Precision!🤷♂🤷♂ PSE was my my first love.

An $1800 bow?? That's why bows like this are a waste, two years from now it'll be worth half that if you're lucky and two years after that it's a garage sale bow. I made the mistake of paying almost a grand for a PSE Mach 10 when it came out in the 90's, I'll never do that again and I absolutely love the PSE Mach series bows.
It's no good if it isn't quiet. Sounded pretty noisy to me. Also seems too heavy. I want my bow under 4 lbs or even less. Groups that tight at 50 yds, very impressive, but under 300fps and noisy, no deer is going to stand still for that.
I wouldn’t be surprised here in the near future…..these hunting bows would perform just as good, or better than the norm of “ Target “ bows 👍🙏 that would be awesome, and the best of both worlds👍🏹🏹🏹
If you're going to shoot 60# then buy a 60# bow. The bow shoots best at its max draw weight. I hate it when people shoot their bow and then let the top of the bow roll forward. When you shoot a bow the bow should want to jump forward out of your hand. Your always pushing the bow with hand thats holding it and pulling with the other hand. If you do it right then there will be no top of the bow rolling forward.
@@coryedd3783 I'd sooner have an honest review. Around here. The archery shops don't carry a lot of stock to try out stuff but they will order it if you want one.
As a millennial who has been told repeatedly that I am a snowflake.... WTF is this shit!? No bro, get a REAL bow. For real I go to the archery range with my friend regularly. I bring a recurve, he brings a longbow he made himself. We stand about 100ft from the targets and spend a good couple hours there, while laughing and shaking our heads at the crossfit bros who show up with their fancy compound bows like these, get a bullseye from 20ft away, take their goddamn selfie with their bullseye and leave. Shooting blanks in more ways than one.

I read the full article, noticed a few different stabilizers were used. Was there a consensus on stabilizer for the Mach 30 from the group? From video it seems it was the Frankenstein stab… I’m having issues quieting mine down
The Franken stab and the antler ridge were favorites. These light bows don’t need a ton of weight to make a difference which is nice.

In my lifetime of 60 years we have went from 100 for a top bow to now 1800 for a stripped down bow. Sad.

Story time with PJ Riley once again 😂
When I think of a “light bow” it doesn’t weigh 6 lbs. it’s a recurve, a thing of beauty, and can be carried miles and miles and not get heavy.
The compound bow game is rife with hyperbole and fluff.
How would you stack this against the Elite Era?
The Era wins in the post shot category. It's 100% dead after the shot, which makes it very fun to shoot. But, the Mach 30 DS wins in the accuracy and forgiveness category. It holds on target better than anything we've tested to date.
PJ so your giving up your Mathews bow ?
I see the Mathews fan boi's are upset.
Thats more than a premium rifle.
That full draw bs never got really explained. Its just a sales phrase imho
Exactly I was waiting on a explanation of how it works 😂 like u said it’s most likely bs
Brace height is measured bow is at rest. That is what brace height is. It's always been the case. "Dynamic brace height" seems like a marketing ploy.
Just wondering why it was not compared to the Mach 34. I own one and find it very stable given its light weight.
The Mach 34 is fantastic, and we tested it in 2023. It tied the Elite Era for most accurate last year.

It's remarkable how he moves his bow arm away from the target soon as he shoots and still hit something.
Goes to show you just like bows, there’s preference for everyone
PJ uses increasing tension to activate his shot. That tension in his body has to go somewhere and it results in a follow through. The arrow is LONG GONE by the time his body reacts
I own the Lift 29.5 & the Mach 30 I agree with PJ not by much tho
What does a hickorey stick cost. Im thinking of target archery as a hobby. Longbow preferred.
I can not agree..A short bow can group good, too.. In fact you should be able to do that in my opinion.. A long riser might help but if you train enough it is not about the bow that much..The ZT cam (zero torque) was made by Hoyt 2018.. e.g.

What's the FPS in 28" 70lbs
I waited on this bow to come in before making my mind up and this Mach 30 was pure disappointment for that price point. Swing and miss by PSE.
I need one, send me one please.
contraptions getting a little ridiculous
If you're going to shoot 60# then buy a 60# bow. The bow shoots best at its max draw weight. I hate it when people shoot their bow and then let the top of the bow roll forward. When you shoot a bow the bow should want to jump forward out of your hand. Your always pushing the bow with hand thats holding it and pulling with the other hand. If you do it right then there will be no top of the bow rolling forward.
Kills me he says nobody wants to carry a long bow to go hunting. Wants a short bow. I never met a trad shooter say that
He's obviously referring in general to compound bow shooters.
Learn the thumb release scrubs
But...cut a bowstring out in the middle of nowhere..yu r screwed.
PJ bow review.
Its the best bow Ive ever shot.
Its the same story with every bow he's given to review.
It’s PJ’s job to talk about a product and make people excited. It’s your job to get into a bow shop and test for yourself. 😉 cheers
@@coryedd3783 I'd sooner have an honest review.
Around here. The archery shops don't carry a lot of stock to try out stuff but they will order it if you want one.
As a millennial who has been told repeatedly that I am a snowflake.... WTF is this shit!? No bro, get a REAL bow. For real I go to the archery range with my friend regularly. I bring a recurve, he brings a longbow he made himself. We stand about 100ft from the targets and spend a good couple hours there, while laughing and shaking our heads at the crossfit bros who show up with their fancy compound bows like these, get a bullseye from 20ft away, take their goddamn selfie with their bullseye and leave. Shooting blanks in more ways than one.
Tough crowd so many butt hurt , why because he said something about a company they didn't spend there hard earned money on.
I will keep the lift didnt care for that pse as much its not the bow its the person holding the bow
The Lift is a great shooter too.
At 1800 bucks wonder if they still use Chinese junk bearings
This guy is more like a glorified aspirin. In the real I call him filler fluff.
I'd rather be schooled o the most remarkable ADULT bow💡
30" ata - gtfoh 👎
PSE - Pull Shoot Explode, don't buy one.
My RX8 is hands down a better bow! I shot all the carbon now and the RX8 is head abd shoulders above the rest! 🤷
The RX-8 is also made of Chinese carbon fiber
@@mattbakerg still the better bow!
@@chrismaffett1973 that’s an opinion not a fact. Your overpriced Chinese Hoyt weighs more than my aluminum bow.
@@jasonbarnes3188 ahhhhahahaha!!!
A joke 1800 bucks nah i shot an 30 inch bear 50 yards robin hood uh no iam checkin out with this dollar mania BS
Cool story bro how many world championships have you won.
Salesman.
Not impressed.
I must be a friggin pro, I’ve shot TONS of 30” and a couple shorter bows better than that at longer distances….you guys are ridiculous.
loud mouth chest thumper
We bow before your greatness. All hail the high and mighty ashleysmith4191!
@@Johnbobon be gone peasant. You are not worthy of my presence.
That's not a bow.
Has it got a string? Riser? Cams? Big deal, so does my old (30 years) Martin FireCat.
