Introducing the Mathews 2026 ARC

[Adamc55]

Made the switch from a 29" v3x to the ARC 30, loving it so far

Pulled the trigger today on an arc 34 for tac and western. Can't wait.
Supply was pretty thin for lefties but there are a few around if you spend some time digging.

Everything I'm hearing is positive, I just love my Phase 4. Not quite ready to upgrade but maybe next year!!

Bought the Arc 34 in November. Hunted with the Lift 33 until end of season so just started with the Arc. I like it but I am on the fence if I like it as well as the Lift. Had shot the lift a ton over 2 seasons. I do like the self tuning aspect.

I shot an arc 30 today, might have to try the 34 but they didn’t have one in stock. Not sure it felt any better than the lift so i may end up passing on the arc.

Looking for a LH ARC34 myself.

Depending on where you're at, here in the upper midwest Scheels have plenty of stock and local dealers are able to get them in in 1-2 weeks.

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

IMO, it is smoother, def less dump at the back. That said, it can be very twitchy if you're not good on the back wall. It is insanely dead in the hand to shoot.

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

Then I'd keep the V3, that's a sweet rig.

 

[les welch]

Anyone compared a halon 32’s feel to an Arc recently? I know I’m way behind with my halon but I’m not even sure it’s worth the upgrade to me for just a little more speed.

Personally, and this is only for me, the Halon series was my least favorite Mathews in a long time. I'd absolutely switch. IF it were ME.

Won an Arc 30 certificate at banquet last night. My triax is fully setup and I dont bowhunt much anymore. Probably gonna sell the certificate if I can or order and sell bow. I see the kodiak Brown Is a new option.

 

[Roboz]

Just purchased a new 30 in Kodiak, should be here Thursday, cant wait to get it set up!

I went into my local dealer at the end of November to order new strings for my phase 4. Well I walked out that night with an Arc 34. That’s 2 bows in a row now I have went into to get stings and came out with a new bow.
I will try and get a pic at the range tonight.
When the dealer ordered the bow they ordered an Earth fade-to-black. But the factory sent an earth riser with black limbs.
It reminds me of the Hoyt RX1 I used to shoot that was buckskin in color.
I also decided to ditch my heavy fast Eddie double stack sight for the Axcel driver Ranger 2 pin. Wow was there some weight savings there.

 

[fulldraw1972]

Got the bow sighted in tonight and put the new site tape on when I got home.
Ready to start the preseason shooting tomorrow night.
Sept 1st is going to be here quickly.
I also put a couple monkey tails on the string tonight as well.

Honestly, those monkey tails are just added weight. The arc has so little vibration and is extremely quiet as is. MT are definitely not needed and will slow your bow down. Plus they can introduce some torque to the string.
