2025 PSE Mach 33 DS: Better than the 2024 Bow of the Year?

[@LancasterArcherySupply]

Who balked at the PSE Mach 30 DS because the axle-to-axle length seemed too short? The PSE Mach 33 DS is the bow for you!

[@TheNewBowunter]

This is by far the best review of this bow. Well done!!!!

[@redneck1413]

Vegas rounds for bow reviews is a great idea. I'd like to see more of this format. Great job PJ!

[@MrDlfen721]

I love my 2008 PSE X Force HF. Has put two whitetails in the freezer since October 1st. I can see how the bows keep getting better, but I just don't need to upgrade a bow that shoots five touching at 20 yds and 4" groups at 50 yds. Thanks PSE! Good Video...

[@Timberdam]

PJ Great Review ! Happy Birthday ! We just visited Lancaster travelling from RI and went to see "Daniel " at SIGHT N SOUND THEATRE The show was great ! Of course we stopped in The Archery store and it never disappoints ! Pbly spent 2 hours there.

Probably the two greatest attractions in Lancaster, PA. Well done and glad you enjoyed your trip!

[@jfphotography69]

$2K for a compound bow is ludicrous, and that goes for all these compound bow companies. By the time you add all the accessories and tax, you are talking $2500. This is the reason I am still shooting my lights out 2003 hoyt cybertec xt2000 cam and a half. I just re-string it "using my ancient bow press" when needed.

[@mlytle42]

Same here. Still loving my 05 Hoyt Ultratec

[@johnnewcomb5162]

Honestly no bow should be even $1500 but they know people will buy them and some guys buy a brand new bow every year.

[@dewboy910]

Most of my 20-TEEN PSE's have better performance and some are LIGHTER weight. I guess you are paying for the ridiculously wide limbs and carbon riser.

We've got some GREAT bows for under a thousand bucks that are still made in USA to boot!

[@ArchersAnonymous-nb4ym]

I wish they had this full draw stability system/cam and ez 220 shims on a riser like the Drive NXT. Id prefer less reflex in the riser to also help with hand torque. The Evolve DS 33 looks interesting as well.

[@isaacgalvan8234]

I wish my 34 had the pic mount but how much difference between them is there? Great video.

[@jrhunt414]

PJ giving away the engineering secrets. Also it shouldn’t be called Dynamic Brace height. It’s still statics. PJ won’t say it but I will the bows that gets shorter at full draw is Mathews. I own a V3 and it’s a great fast bow but acts like a 5” brace bow. Not new information just more advanced archery info and most people don’t understand physics and statics.

[@nicpaolo7940]

In fishing rods, a well balanced rod will feel lighter than it is. I wonder if the 3; is just more of a balanced feel than the 30. Going into my local shop today to shoot and find out myself!!!

[@galinswigart]

Is it just me or do new bows drop earlier and earlier each year? How long until we start seeing new bow announcements in the summer? Great video as always! Production value does not go unnoticed. Very impressive stuff.

How about Mach 34, Benn there for a long while now. Why 33" now?

[@LancasterArcherySupply]

30 => 33 34 => 35

[@Excalibure666]

​@@LancasterArcherySupply thanks for the kind math lesson. Let me correct my question. They have mach30, levitate 32, mach 33, mach 34 and mach 35. It's good to have options if they released same time. But do we really need exact same bow in every lenght? I thought it would be better if they develop a new bow instead of same bow an inch longer or shorter.

[@LancasterArcherySupply]

Some years changes to bows and technology are more incremental and harder to notice when compared to other years' releases. There were certainly improvements made for each new iteration of the current lineup, and maybe the near future will bring a larger departure from their current lineup than we have seen in recent years.

[@fredtaylor1205]

I feel like compound bows have hit a wall. They change very little and mainly cosmetic changes to please the eyes. Even he said “basically it’s the same bow”. They all are still shooting under 300 fps for the most part. Still regulated at 75%-80% let off. And wow they do not hold value. Wait one year and get it well over half price. Buy one that fits you and don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s.

[@LancasterArcherySupply]

There is an ebb and flow between all the major manufacturers releasing new bows and new technology to push the envelope. Sure, maybe PSE didn't reinvent the wheel this year (mainly because they didn't need to) but who knows what exciting things the likes of Mathews and Prime and Hoyt and Bowtech have in store? Not to mention Darton's new tuning system which is GREAT. Also your last sentence is just good advice, plain and simple.

[@texasforever3.025]

No center mount for sights. No integrated foot option. Make next year.

[@pjreilly3997]

It has the Picatinny rail for sight mounting.

[@tjblackforest69]

In my view that " full draw stability" is just selling bla bla bla. My bows shows way higher " dynamic brace height" (whatever sense that word might make) at full draw. Simply depends on the shape of the cams and the limb angle.
