Bowhunting World Field Editor Darron McDougal says the PSE Mach 30 DS’s EC2 Cam is ridiculously smooth. In fact, it delivers perhaps the best draw cycle of any bow he’s recently tested. For more of McDougal’s impressions, check out his detailed 4-minute YouTube video below.

Additional Notes: The PSE Mach 30 DS was set up using a Last Chance Archery EZ Green Bow Press and EZ Green Bow Vise, and the draw weight was calculated using Last Chance Archery’s Digital Bow Scale. A Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph measured the arrow velocities. Other products used were Easton’s Nock and D-Loop Pliers and Pro Hex Fold-Up Allen Set. Arrows were weighed on Last Chance Archery’s Pro Grain Scale.
