Mathews Arc

[Matt5266]

Looks like a 30 and 34 inch axel to axel. The 34 looks appealing to me. What do you guys all think about them?

Look pretty decent, I wish more companies would do like prime and make their longer ATA bows have the shorter brace height. I get that they probably do it for the long draw guys but if I'm giving up forgiveness on the ata I don't also want to give it up with a short brace

I don't follow what you're saying? The ARC 30 is a shorter A2A and BH, which leads to being less forgiving than a longer ATA and BH, which the ARC 34 has both of?

Really doesn’t do it for me. I’ve got an original lift 29.5. I’m not going to upgrade (regardless of brand) unless it has timing adjustment, and some type of limbshift adjustment. Which at this point is just Darton, and Bowtech I believe.

I want the long ata and short brace, I don't want short and short, the shorter bows are already harder to shoot why put a short brace on them to add to that

Decreased brace height increases speed. I assume the manufacturers’ logic is that shooters with shorter draw lengths are more likely to choose a shorter ATA bow and will want all the speed they can get since their short DL starts them out at a disadvantage speed-wise. Longer DL shooters are in the opposite situation: they’re starting out with a speed advantage so increasing brace height and shaving a little speed doesn’t really matter to them.

They look nice, but until they put some sort of adjustable stop on their bows, I don't think I will buy another Mathews. I shoot my Lift 33 fine, but that has been on thing that has really frustrated me about that bow are their bows having a short valley, and the inability to tweak it easily by shifting a stop.

Nothing groundbreaking thats going to get me to buy new. Que the influencer videos, "this is the most accurate, dead in hand, balanced bow ive ever shot" in 3,2,1..

Here's an actual informational video on it. Nothing to make me want to upgrade my v3x.

There is something in the video about an adjustment on the limbs.

unless it has timing adjustment, and some type of limbshift adjustment.

Also something about the draw cycle.

Les, some good questions/feedback on this thread

I like it, not a Mathews guy either, have not owned one in years but if you do not like their bows the past several years I don't know what you are looking for!

I am not in the market for a new bow, but I look forward to shooting one when a friend buys it!

I like the ARC, if I was in the market for a new bow this year it would be in my list to shoot.
