Best Hunting Bow of the Year: ArcheryTalk Hunting Bow Shootout

After months of testing and thousands of arrows sent down range, it's time for the 2026 ArcheryTalk Hunting Bow Shootout. Here are the bows involved in this year’s shootout, in the order I received them. Obsession UltraMag 360, Mathews ARC 34, APA Black Mamba Pro 6, Prime Divide 33, Darton TriTech 33, PSE Sicario, and Elite Varos. I’ve broken down this comparison into several different categories - each with a winner and each affecting the final choice for my hunting bow of the year. The categories are: Draw Cycle, Speed, Stability & Accuracy, Noise & Vibration, Grip, Tunability, Fit & Finish, and Price & Value. Thank you to Canada Archery Online for letting me record countless times at your shop in preparation for this video. Check them out here - https://www.canadaarcheryonline.com/
