2004 PSE Mach Pro Target Bow

Hi all,

Anyone out there had any experience of one of these. They seem quite popular in the USA? All the specs look good. It seems the 2004's have round wheel cams, or at least very soft ones? Any input would be helpfull

Cheers

Rich

Rich, I just bought one for my son - took delivery of it on Friday, and he shot it for the first time last night.

It's a very nice looking bow. Seems well engineered. This one has PSE's Hybrid cam system (which is pretty much the same as Hoyt's Cam & half, but with less draw-length adjustment). The cams have a smooth draw cycle, but an extremely short valley - almost non-existant in fact - and a good, solid wall. At least they should teach him to maintain back-tension! They are adjustable for let-off and the draw-length can be changed by swapping in/out a set of modules that change it by (I think) half an inch.

It has a pretty high mass weight (feels like it needs a fairly long rod to stabilize it) and a good grip - a bit broader than Hoyt's, but slimmer than Mathews and Bowtech - with a very similar wrist angle to Hoyt's.

Draw weight is very adjustable - my lads is marked as 60lb but has adjusted down to about 44lb with no problems.

I spoke to a couple of PSE shooters in the USA and they both rated the Mach Pro, but were both ecstatic over the new Mojo and Mojo 3d. I must admit that these two look very interesting.

Had a look at teh Mojo and Mojo 3D recently.
The 3D one interested me as I like the specs on it, but in person it looks like an unstrung longbow.
PSE seem to have suddenly gone straight risers which I find annoying as their brace heights are now far too large or they have to use non-parrallel limbs.
I use to be a huge PSE fan, but every year they simply cook up new ways to disappoint me.
