12point Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have a PSE bow I have used for 15+ years and still shoots like it did when I first bought it. I hear about other bows being the best now days and hardly ever here PSE mentioned. Have the fallen behind that badly? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The PSE X-Force was the hottest thing going last year! I can't speak for market share, but just going by what I know my friends both on the forum and off shoot, it appears Hoyt and Mathews are the biggest players, then you have some smaller ones like PSE, Bowtech, Fred Bear, Ross, etc. I'm shooting from the hip here, I dont have a clue as to the numbers sold, but there's plenty of market for lots of manufacturers, and I can assure you PSE is "relevant". btw.... I shoot a Fred Bear, you hardly see one of those mentioned either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I looked and couldnt find any info on the compound bow market share, I would be curious myself. It's also surprising when you find out just who owns who these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhunter56 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 pse makes a good bow, any more to stay in the market, they need to produce competitive products,, if you have not shoot a new bow since you bought yours 15 years ago,,,You will be surprised with the speed and how quiet they are...

redkneck Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 NO! I'm just curious as to why you think that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 PSE is still one of the top bow companies, in fact, I'd probably say it's one of the big 3 (Mathews/Mission, Hoyt and PSE) followed by BowTech/Diamond/Ross, Martin/Rytera, Bear, Parker, Elite, Athens, Darton, Horton etc... Yep, they are still quite relevent especially with the new X-force Omen which can reach speed of over 366fps! I'll stick with my Monster however, I just don't like the feel of PSE grips (feels too mechanical). Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 HMMMmmmmmmm Let me think a minute...YES There's nothing wrong with the Bow thats in the mail to my buddy right now! The only reason I'm not still shooting it is I figured after 5 years it was just time for a newer bow thats all. Quality of manufacture is right up there with any other Bow I've ever owned including Mathews! I bought the PSE after the Mathews and liked the PSE better!!!

m gardner Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Made a hundred dollars with a Mossy Oak X last summer, so I guess they shoot alright. Mark:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Don't get caught up in a brand cult. Even these guys in here with the fancy sigs will tell you the other guys make great bows. Somewhere a long time ago I think Dakota mentioned he got a monster but look at last year's x-force and look at the monster that's popular now. Who made that first??.....PSE And the new Omen is screaming fast. They are quite relevant my friend, but as was mentioned above, if you havent shot a new bow in that many years, you may want to try one out, you'll be surprised at the speed and smoothness.

dawgitall Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 PSE is definitely a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Don't expect your old PSE to re-sale for much as a down payment on a new one. Don't overlook the new line up either. Quality bows as they've always been with a middle of the road line-up that is affordable in comparison with competitors performance specs and prices.

I'm sorry if I go off topic here, but the Monster and X-Force are two completely different (similar looking) bows. The cams look similar but they are completely different designs. Just thought I'd throw that out there. To get back on topic, PSE is definitely a good brand though! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosscamo Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 in my opinion PSE is a good bow brand for beginners and youths...i used to have one years and years ago.....as for experienced hunters and myself, i would stay away from PSE, there's so much more out there that is a lot better if ya ask me....GO MATTHEWS!!!!!

Tink Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Pse rocks!!! PSe makes the fastest production bow faster than Mathews Monster and ultra smooth My PSE X force SSD is the fastest bow i have ver owned most silent and most accurate You are thinkign of PSE 10 years ago whenthey sucked hind tit TINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have several high dollar bows I shoot regularly and my scores don't change much from bow to bow. But I will concede that Mathews has the highest resale of all. It's also my favorite to hunt with just because I see more animals to shoot when I take it. Pretty weird.

ruttinbuc Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 A PSE Carroll Dominator is my back up bow. Other than the weight of the thing it is a great shooting bow. Unfortunately, the price of all top end bows are headed to the stratosphere. Pse would be one the bows I'd be interested in if i were in the market for another one.

dbHunterNY Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 When I got my bow for last season PSE just wasn't the fit and feel for me, but I could definitely tell the quality was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 My last bow was a PSE, my current bow is a PSE and my next one will be a PSE. As far as I'm concerned they are still relevant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceArcher Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) I shoot a PSE right now... the x-force. If I had to choose I would go back with a Hoyt. However, any bow you buy right now will be light years ahead of what you were shooting 15-years ago. My boy ended up costing about $1000 with all the bells and whistle a few years back. However, a $300 bear will kill deer just as dead. I agree with Dakota that the grips on PSE are very thin and I don't like that. What I do like about my bow is that is extremly fast and quit. If you want high end go with Mathew, Hoyt or PSE in any order. If you want to kill deer then just go pick out a more economical model and make sure you like how it shoots. Good luck and happy hunting. Edited September 27, 2009 by AceArcher spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAarcher Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I still shoot my PSE "Durango" that I bought in 2000 or 2001 It was the bow all the Team Primos members shoot at the time. I was younger and thought it was the "Coolest" thing out haha. It shoots true and has never let me down. It's not the fastest compared to the new bows. For a while I didn't here much from PSE they haden't made any real innovation or upgrades as far as I was concerned. But recently they have been putting out some new bows that have me interested. You start to here the brand more now that Drury Outdoors picked them up as a sponser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Boy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I shoot a PSE X-Force SS. Mark and Terry Drury use the X-Force on their shows. Outside of the X-Force they leave a lot to be desired IMO. You have the Bow Madness which is apparently a good bow, the Stinger (fast and cheap), and a few others (Mach X, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
