PSE crossbows online store and bow recommendations? There are plenty of new features on the Lawless, including the 4-track cam system that features an integrated yoke system designed to correct cam lean and balance limb tip load for easier tuning. There’s also a new rotating module that makes it a snap to adjust for draw length in ½-inch increments. The redesigned roller guard and string stop work together to ensure arrow clearance and decreased noise, and the improved grip was made to ensure comfort and reduce torque. I’ll confess that shooting a bow with a brace height just over 5 inches always scared me a bit, as I expected a harsh rollover and a short valley. But the Lawless was a pleasant surprise. At 356 IBO, this is one of those exceptions to the slow-down trend, although our testing has shown in the past the Obsessions IBO rating should be taken with a grain of salt. For now, we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I shot more arrows than I originally intended, which to me is proof the Lawless is a comfortable and pleasant shooter for such a fast-rated bow.
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.
The 2019 Vertix from Mathews was one of the most vibration-free bows we’ve ever ran through the paces of our annual Bow Test. The VXR seems poised to set a new standard for vibration-free performance at this year’s test thanks to a melding of the Vertix’s top vibration-killing features with a totally new riser design that Mathews claims increases overall bow stability while further reducing vibration. The bow is also lighter thanks to a reconfigured riser design. It’s not a huge reduction in weight (last year’s Vertix weighed in at 4.7 pounds while the VXR 28 scales 4.44 pounds) but it is noticeable. The VXR is also smartly available in two lengths – 28 and 31.5 inches. The 28-inch model will certainly be more popular but the 31.5 is a long-range shooting machine. Advertised speeds are 344 fps for the 28 and 343 for 31.5.
Have you ever wanted to know how it feels like to be Katniss Everdeen or Peeta Mellark of the Hunger Games? Hunters always crave for the adrenaline rush caused by hitting a target with their gear. Besides having the thirst for adventure, you must also own the right tools and accessories to be successful in hunting. Take heed of this warning: don’t just grab any hunting gear that you see.

TenPoint entered the ultra-narrow, reverse-draw crossbow world last year with the Nitro XRT. The new Vapor RS470 is another entry that measures just 6.5 inches across when fully cocked. It has a new TEC-X stock that TenPoint touts to be stronger and lighter than previous models and a new riser of 7075-T6 aluminum reduces the overall bow weight to just 8 pounds. Perhaps the most notable change from TenPoint in 2020, however, is in the cocking system. For years, TenPoint’s ACUdraw system set the standard for ease of use and reliability in the crossbow arena. The new ACUslide system builds on that success. It’s ridiculously easy to use and allows not only for hassle-free cocking, but safer de-cocking as well. The Vapor RS470 is sold as a system that includes the ACUslide system, an Evo-X Marksman scope, STAG hard case, EVO-X Lighted CenterPunch Premium arrows, EVO-X CenterPunch broadheads, sling and quiver for $3,050 in camo or $2,950 in gray.
