Maximum Stability. Greater Precision. Achieving a new benchmark in energy transfer and efficiency, the PSE Omen shoots at blazing speeds of up to 356 feet-per-second, all while reducing the amount of energy needed from the shooter during the draw cycle.

Precision Shooting Equipment For most of the company's history, however, Tucson, Ariz. has been the home of PSE Archery - which stands for Precision Shooting Equipment - and that's where Shepley turned it into one of the nation's leading makers of compound bows, a few traditional bows, and in recent years, crossbows.

PSE are excellent - had them for the last 13 years - since the original HF X-Force. The "Point Shoot Explode" moniker may have been in your fathers days - but not any more. PSE have a lot less trouble than some other top brands - and there warranty is second to none.

the compound bow By far, the compound bow is the most popular bow for hunting and target shooting. Many styles are available, but they all work basically in the same manner.

compound bow The compound bow, using a system of cables and pulleys, is the most popular bow for both hunting and target shooting. The greatest advantage of the compound bow is its "draw weight let-off." As you draw the compound bow, you reach the "peak" weight before you come to the full draw.

270 to 285 fps Those variables affect how fast your bow shoots an arrow, which is measured in feet per second. The higher the number, the faster your arrow is flying. Most hunting setups propel arrows 270 to 285 fps, which is slower than the often-advertised IBO or ATA speeds of 350 fps or higher.

260-270 fps Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps. Beyond that, broadhead planing becomes problematic for all but the very best archers. Today's fastest bows are awesome in their ability to deliver speed.

PSE Archery has long been one of the top bow makers in the game offering scorching speed bows, classic hunting bows, and precise target bows. The best PSE bows offer a little something for everyone.

Most people when learning will start with a recurve bow. There is a reason for this. Recurve bows are easy to find and easy to use by everyone no matter what age, and they are very forgiving to shoot.

Compound bows Using a system of pulleys and cables means that less physical strength is needed from the archer and it is easier to hold the bow at full draw. Archers can use magnifying sights and mechanical release aids, making the compound much more accurate from a greater distance than other types of bow.

Immortalized by the Mongols during the 3rd-century onwards, the Mongolian recurve bow is widely considered one of the most powerful, and deadly, bows in history. These bows could famously shoot with pinpoint accuracy at over 500 yards (450+ meters), and were often used from horseback.

Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps.
