PSE crossbows online shopping and crossbow recommendations? There’s lots of innovation in 2020 from the folks at Prime, including their new ROTO Cam, which features a rotating module designed for easy and precise draw length and adjustments in ½-inch increments, with nothing more than an Allen wrench. For maximum tuning capability, Prime’s new Easy Tune Shim Kit lets you shift cams right or left during the tuning process. Prime is known for making a rock-solid riser, and it’s been redesigned this year for even more strength. I like that Prime offers its flagship bow in four different lengths (31, 33, 35, and 39 inches axle-to-axle), and I shot a few different versions of the Black. The 5 (35-inches) was the fastest of the models, but I handled it easily, and it pointed and shot very well. Just for kicks, I shot the 9 (39 inches axle-to-axle) and while noticeably slower than its shorter cousins, it was probably the quietest and deadest-in-the-hand bow I shot all day.
Mathews’ 2020 flagship bow comes in two lengths: 28 inches for your whitetail/treestand hunter and 31.5 inches for archers looking for a bit more stability through length. Either way, each bow is designed for stability, and Mathews pulled from the target archery world to build the riser for the VXR. An extended six-bridge riser cuts weight, while the new platform increases cam efficiencies. The Mathews Vertix is one of our Best Bows of 2019. We put this compound bow through its paces for this review and came away impressed. The bow is designed to shoot quietly and stay dead in the hands, and the online reviews echo that. Poundage moves in 5-pound increments from 60 to 75, for draw lengths from 26.5 to 31 inches, and the bow weighs in at 4.66 pounds naked. It also incorporates the Switchweight modules found on last year’s flagship Vertix model. Somehow, the bows stay very similar in speed, with the 28-inch model shooting at 344 feet per second and the 31.5-inch shooting at 343.
Speed. That’s exactly what the MX-15 delivers, to the tune of 362 fps. The MX-15 features Hybrid Duel Stop cams that absolutely scream arrows down-range and the draw cycle is surprisingly smooth despite that raw power. At 4.2 pounds and 33 inches in length, the bow has excellent balance and offers five inches of draw length adjustment, in 1/2-inch increments without the use of a bow press. For smaller shooters, the bow is offered in a 40-pound model in addition to the standard, 50-, 60- and 70-pound setups. It sells for about $1,100.
