PSE is also known for producing bows that push the boundaries when it comes to speed.
PSE X FORCE FULL
Still, many bowhunters (myself included, in the interests of full disclosure) prefer light bows, and the DNA increases PSE’s appeal to those hunters. And for bowhunters who spend most of their time in treestands or ground blinds-and that would be the majority of them-weight is arguably not an issue. Heavier bows tend to be more forgiving, all else being equal, and bucking the trend toward increasingly lighter bows probably contributed to PSE’s reputation for producing very accurate, forgiving bows. There is something to be said for a certain amount of mass weight in a bow. A new riser forged from an ultra-light aluminum alloy, together with the newer, lighter Centerlock 2 limb pockets, achieved most of the savings in weight. One genetic difference that many bowhunters may welcome is the DNA’s 3.7-pound mass weight, making it a relatively light bow by any standards, more so by PSE’s standards. Like most PSE bows, it looks longer than it is, an phenomenon contributed to by the relatively skinny brace height of many PSE bows.

The combination of a long, highly reflexed riser, flared at each end to meet the short past-parallel limbs, the big cams, the unique limb pockets, the Vibracheck limb damper bands, and the red sideplates all pretty much scream PSE. PSE touts its new flagship bow as “…entirely different, all the way down to its DNA.” Some important differences notwithstanding, bowhunters familiar with PSE’s products-and that would be most of them-would recognize the DNA as a PSE at a glance.
