IBO 330 fps, Axle to Axle 29.5", Brace Height 7", mass weight 3.7#. Draw Length 25.5-31". We look at all the colours of the Drive 3B, shoot the bow over the Chrono and shoot the bow at 18 meters. archeryshop.com...
This review helped me tremendously. I bought this bow a few weeks ago, especially after watching this review, to replace my Hoyt Maxxis 31 which I was getting tired of. OMG I can't believe how good this bow is for the money. After shooting the 3B and getting it dialed in, my Hoyt has been put on the shelf for good. I bought it with the pro package and am very very happy with my purchase. I'm a PSE fan now.
Purchased yesterday from your shop for deer hunting as my Ross went cactus 1st week into lockdown & this info helped out on my 5days of internet searches which drained my brain...you got my sub...
I purchased this bow ready to shoot yesterday at Broken Rack in Batavia, Ohio for $699. Great bow for the price, very quiet, no vibration and not heavy at all.
05/26/2021 Just bought one from Sportsman's Moses Lake, WA. Update from my 97' Blue Mountain Wolverine I hunted until 2011. Last years model DRIVE 3B at $499. This years DRIVE at $799. I got lucky! Thanks for the review. Feels great. At 62 and getting back into it, I'm hoping/thinking I made/got lucky on my choice here. Again, thanks for your honest review!!!
Man, I am rewatching this video because your insight was very informative. I am looking for a new reserve bow, and I am considering a Drive. I enjoyed my Drive R, and am considering another Drive as a back-up to my VXR and RX-1. Good stuff. Please continue
I handled this bow down at the store tonight at 60lb with my 30" draw. Was fitted with a hefty stabiliser when I tested it, plus all the other bells and whistles in a ready to shoot config. Even being my 1st ever serious session with a compound bow and 60lb being a little much, plus using the store's crappy loaner arrows, I was getting some good grouping. The valley on it sells it for me over the Stinger. So comfortable. Super quiet.
its a great bow! better than the evolve 28. the Drive 3b is just a 3 track binary vs the 4 track. and honestly this bow shots better than all of Bears flagships bows, the prime logic as well. PSE makes really good bows just different specs. light 7 inch bh and then you go the bow madness heavier and shorter bh. The polymer limb pockets are very good as well and I prefer them because they are lighter by far. the only beginner bow that pse honestly have is the Stinger. plus this cam system is easier to tune than a single cam system!!! and its better. The only gripe I have with PSE is the camo pattern, its not all that good. stretched out on the bottom and top of the riser. they can do a better job and they know they can. Now Bear Archery is really good at dipping with no stretch marks.
Do you still shoot drive 3b? Did you have any problems with cable slide or tuning in general? I have one on order but i did found some comments that people were not to satisfied with cable guard and did run in some tuning problems
Thank you for the thorough review. I enjoy your review style. Informative and to the point, with a little bit of your own thoughts thrown in during the shooting. I think I like your review style because it is how I think and make my decisions when reviewing products. Thanks also for showing the different colors!
2015 got a Stinger X love it , 2016 got a dream season decree from you and NO bull they are both excellent, fast forward to 2020 im looking at the PSE cross bows i have a long neck licence A and B and a hunting permit to justifie use
I know it’s not part of this video, but would you recommend the pse response over the obsession turmoil or vice versa? I’m looking to do some hunting with the bow. Keep up the great work!
Just watched the review of the Elite 2019 Revol…………. group still not as good as this! I bought the stinger because of how well Steve shot it. so tempted to buy this. Only thing is my taget set up gets neglected and jumping from bow style to bow style reduces my scores. I find each bow has its own personality and the archer has to get to know the bow well to shoot to full potential. that said...…...the 3b is very appealing based on that!
Just purchased the Drive 3B (70 lb.) for my 17 yr old, upgraded from the Stinger X. Absolutely awesome bow. Question, he's looking to upgrade his sight from the PSE X-Force sight to the CBE SL4 your thoughts or recommendation? Great review, much appreciated.
Hi Steve! Thank you for the great review! I have a question about this bow. I have took a look and investigated that the cams are not centered between the limbs and as well the string also. Is it problem for shooting or not? There is also one problem. The stoppers are touching the cables when you draw the string. So, after several shoots you have the steps on the cables, which look not good I think. What you can say about it? Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for the nice informative video! One question, how to make turning the 3-track binary cam system? There is so few information in the Internet. They are talking mostly about the hybrid system and almost nothing about the binary one. Some articles are describing the binary cam system as most modern and perfect system, but still not enough popular among the archers.
This Video inspired me to order one though you. Looking forward to it arriving. I'll mostly use if for hunting Fallow Deer with fairly light arrows and broadheads. I have a heaver Elite bow that I use for Buffalo and Pigs
I hunt pigs wt my Bear paradox. 70 pounds. 32inches axle to axle. Ibo is 330 fps. I have a Qad drop away..Trophy ridge REACT h 5 sight. Trophy ridge hitman front stabilizer and Apex side mount Trophy ridge hitman stabilizer on the rear. Good hunting.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale when I saw your pse Stinger group I went out and bought one myself... (normal bow pse Dominator Max) without stabilisation, basic set up managed a 577 on a wa 18m round (scoring inner ten) was really pleased. after watching this looking forward totrying a 3b..... your videos are costing me money! :-) keep em coming
What would be the chances of a reveiw of the the Spot-Hogg Premier (the one you use).... i know its and old one but for an expert like yourself to use it, it must be good. Thx ed (if you have time).......
I had a customer with a Power max - he traded for a Prevail. He then purchased a Drive as a muck around bow and shot better scores with it than his Prevail, so he traded in the Prevail. I have not shot the Approach, I think the Approach will shoot well.
you often say that which bow people should get, depends on their budget. But surely it must be possible to review bows without taking their price into account. For example, how many procent are the drive better than the stinger, and the evoke better than the drive. maybe 25%... then people can decide on whether they want to spend 2x the money on a 25% quality increase. Thanks for all your reveiws :)
I think budget is important because from the top to the bottom of the range the bows all shoot well. I shot this Drive very well. I sell the Stinger $470 but I now have last years Drive I am clearing for $500. For $30 extra the Drive is a better bow because it is faster but I am not saying you will shoot better with it. You look at the models and the prices available and say to yourself what you want. I would like metal limb pockets but how much extra will that cost for example. I would like a 35" bow but how much will that cost. I would like the bow to be 35" and under 4lbs in which case you are at a Carbon Stealth $1900. But can you justify those things for the extra $1200. Even the Unleashed over the Drive - slightly longer bow $200 extra.
Looking for my first bow and torn between this or the cheaper Stinger. £200 price difference where i am in the UK so really need some advice. Im not sure if at the moment it warrants the extra money or not but don't want to upgrade any time soon! Please help!
I love how you don't edit stuff out, sight fell off, oops. Keep'n it real. Now we need a review of the sight. You are officially forbidden to do an Evoke 35 review. I followed your advise and bought a Xpedite and a set of HL modules. Just loved how it sat in the hand versus the Evoke 35.
what is the loose string on the draw string? sorry im new to archery is that where the peep sight is supposed to be? can you do a video of how to install the peep sight
I chose this over the powermax not just because of price but also because of availability and design. Love how the black 3B looks. Just a better bang for the buck. Hoyt is like the apple of bows. Its cool but I feel like PSE might be more reliable
Steven, out of all due respect. the Full throttle is not the fastest compound bow made, APA archery has had the King cobra out for year's and also is 370 FPS.
Yes the full throttle is. The APA isnt no where as close in the chrono, also the apa is a 80 lb. Bow. Go check the speed reviews. Even the pse omen is out shooting the over rated APA.
What is the longest axle to axel hunting bow out there? Like the review have watched a lot of your vids and Im subscriped ,,,,So far its the hoyt 35 ax to ax, ,Wish there was something longer tho,,,
@@gabbyhaze9714 pse. It's that same riser as the supra ext and now the shoot down. Has bigger cams and longer draw length and comes in camo colours only.
Prime CT9 is not marketed as a hunting bow but it's just a CT5 (Prime's flagship hunting bow) stretched out to 39 inches and plenty guys hunt with them
so this bow has an IBO of 330 fps and is shooting at 289 fps. where the hoyt powermax has an IBO of 328 fps and is shooting 295.. and you say its below what others with that IBO are making, no mention with this.. yes im a hoyt fanboy :)
I've shot both and I'm not an expert by any means, but I do think it's the draw cycle of this bow that reduces the speed. The draw feels nothing like the Hoyt...its much smoother and much lighter at the same weight...the valley is also a lot different and it's so relaxed at full draw where the Powermax feels edgy. I'm not a Hoyt or PSE fan so hopefully this comes across as unbiased. I honestly never thought I'd like a PSE but ended up falling for the bigger brother to this, the Drive XL.
Powemax is a better bow and faster, deader in hand,and a lot more silent. You can get a Mathews tactic for 736. It is the flagship chill r with different cut out, and a 7' brace.
I know this is really off subject can u do a review on the dimond deploy sb I can not find a good worth watching review with the info I'm looking for thanks agin I really enjoy and learn lots from ur viedos
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale ok thankyou what would u suggest for hunting between the 2018 per drive x and the 2018 pse epix pluses and minuses to each I'm new to bow hunting or archery in general and have done lots of research and finally got it down to those 2 bows any advise is appreciated
ferocity is short limbs, I would choose Drive for no particular reason, it has been in the PSE line up forever, limbs are the same as other PSE. I shoot really well with this Drive and older Drives.
