Introducing the Mathews 2026 ARC

[les welch]

Its a new cam how is the draw compared to lift/lift X? Smoother, more dump etc?

The draw is smooth. The shirts absolutely dead in the hand. It is twitchy for sure. It needs to be held tight on the back wall.

How much better subjectively than a V3 31” ata ? I rock a bow until the wheels fall off usually before upgrading…

Well then you probably won’t upgrade. The wheels are far from falling off that V3. That is a sweet rig.

I have 2 lift x's(29 &33) and I'm gonna go shoot one and take one of mine to shoot back to back, try and shoot them through the chrono as well for an honest comparison. I have a feeling some of the "influencers" aren't 100% honest, and if I'm being honest, the z mods intrigue me more than the arc, at least for hunting purposes.

Ordered my on November 25th in kuiu Verde, super sweet bow. Draw cycle is smoother than the lift/ lift x. My lift is 31.5 draw 80# with 450 grain arrow 320 fps. At 70# 30 inch draw the arc in shot with a 355 grain arrow was hitting 306 fps. Excited to see how mine does with the 80# mods.

Did you mean a 455 gn arrow going 306 versus a 355 grain arrow? I’d expect a 355 gn arrow to be well over 330 fps.

Yes I did, 450s were 306

I 'm still shooting my Mathews Avail , 24.5" draw with a 41 lb. pull. The arrow shoots at 221 fps. I can no longer pull back 50 lbs. I all but went to a crossbow, but decided to see if I can go under 50 lbs cause I think it is a 50 to 60 lb limbs . I didnt even bow hunt for a few years cause I couldnt pull back the bow. However, when I turned it out 3 1/2 turns , I was elated to be able to pull it back. It shot 4" low at 20 yds. but I didnt care. Last year at 9 yds the arrow went right through the 1 1/2 yr old buck . It stuck in the high grass and never found it . This year at 20 yds it went through the buck again but I found the arrow sticking in the grass. Would the new Lift be any better? Just wondering.
