I came into your store today Steve, i must say your quality of service is unbeatable, everyone was very helpful, i'll be in store again within the next month to buy my first bow set up, cheers again

Purchased the stinger from your store 18months ago....loved the shooting ..power accuracy and easy to draw......most fun I've had....must go out again.....set up bales and targets ....thanks for the inspiration.

I bought this bow off you guys just before xmas. Can't believe it only took 2 days! I absolutely love it!

Dude... I just... I can not explain enough how incredible this review is. Seriously. Whenever I see such passion for a product I really take notice. You obviously LOVE what PSE has done and because of it there will be a skunkworks Stinger X under my tree this year.

I've shot a stinger for three years and love it! Great review also

Thanks for such an in depth review! Buying my first bow in a couple weeks and thanks to you and your insight this will be the bow. Greatly appreciate the detail you go into with your videos. Cheers from Canada.

Your reviews are top notch. You helped me decide on an Evolve 35 earlier this year and I purchased a Stinger X for my son today. You sold me on PSE. Thanks so much! From Walla Walla, USA.

This is one of the best review of this bow that I have found

Thanks! You sold me on this bow. I bought a Cabela's exclusive PSE Gobbler which is the PSE Stinger X 60 lbs accessorized and set it up this weekend. Comes factory set to 29" which is my draw length, and has a wide range of draw length adjustability. Dialed it 3 turns out for about 55 lbs which lengthened the brace and draw 1/4" requiring a shorter D loop and adjustment of string stop. Installed a Truglo Strom capture rest which has a plastic hard bottom and side brushes set to 0.5 mm away from brush contact. Center shot was best 1.5 mm the left of the center of the groove on the arrow shelf, which turned out to be dead center of the throat of the grip. I found out I needed 1/4" to 3/8" nock high to prevent the nock end of the bare shaft from hitting the bottom of the rest and being whacked nock high on the target. After making that adjustment, it is grouping nearly as well as my expensive heavy target bows, with bare shafts hitting the same spot as fletched arrows. I may try to tune cable length twist to get a lower nock height but will need limb adaptor brackets for my portable bow press. High nocking point probably due to the solo cam vertical nock travel and the hardness of the rest I am using. ACC 390 spine arrows shoot better than weaker ACC 500 spine arrows. Very light, easy to handle and adjust, but recommend bar shaft tuning to set nock height. Noticed the numbers on the four limbs are all different with higher numbers on the bottom limbs. I assume this is not random and must be to compensate for tiller and/or cam lean.

I just purchased a Stinger X because of your review. Being 6'3" with a 30" draw I am stretching this little bow but I really like it. I live 90 miles from the PSE factory and plan to visit soon. Thank you for being a sincere, authentic person, you have my respect. I enjoyed the other video with the koalas & galas (the story about your grandfather). My Canadian wife just shakes her head and said "that bird wouldn't be chasing me".

Steve, Thank you very much for this review. I went to Bass Pro Shops and they happened to have this bow on sale with an "accessory package". This is my first bow, and I am very new to the sport. I guess I got very lucky that this bow was on such a great sale and the people there were amazing to get it set up for my arm length and all of that. I was considering going to a local archery shop to ask them if they could teach me about my bow, but you just did it for the world for free! Cheers mate!

Hey Batman! How did you find the bow?

This was a very good review!! A bit long, but you covered everything I wanted to know about it. I'm looking at a couple of these as an upgrade for my son, as a hunting bow. One is the Stinger X, the other is the Drop Tine SX, which I believe is the same exact bow, just a special name for a certain big chain store. I wasnt sure about it at first, but now I'm confident that this will be a good bow for him. Thank you for the excellent review!

Great videos ,I've had one of these since 2016 at 55 pounds and i love it, thinking about getting an obsession turmoil Rz at about 65 pounds now.

Great review man! Wish I'd seen it sooner... I'll be definitely be considering the PSE if I'm in the market for another bow.

Really great video. Thanks for being so informative. Love the review. Wouldn’t mind getting one of those bows

Nice review as usual Steven :)

Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2022 Stinger Extreme. Nice bow.

The archer is the main contributor to accuracy. Practice often and know the bow and arrows and be skilled at reading the conditions, and there is no reason that this outfit can’t win.

Good job , i shoot PSE and am looking to return to archery aftet a long layoff, advice helped.

I jumped right in to archery hunting and going on the third season im really happy. Got same game and got some misses but those were hunter faults. Can recomend this bow for any starter!

Best beginner bow I've ever shot, And I've shot bowtech, mathews, hoyt, and my favorite pse, hands down to me was the SAS Feud. Picked it up off amazon and its hands down a phenominal bow especially for $200-$300 depending on the package you buy it with. it would be a good bow for you to do a review on for sure. Especially for anyone looking for a cheaper way to get into archery to see if they like it.

I don’t have a stinger but I did just buy a droptine sx and it’s an awesome bow! Love what PSE has to offer.

Thanks for your in depth expert review. I was looking to buy this bow from an Australian supplier but after shipping costs and import duty, it was better to buy from a local supplier (I live in NZ). Sadly we get gouged in New Zealand and the RTS package cost me NZ$760. Hopefully, I should receive it next week. I confess that I've never shot a compound bow before and my experience is mostly with primitive bare bows although I do own a couple of recurves with sights. Anyway, keep up the good work. Flaxen Saxon

HI Steven your channel is amazing I learned so much information about bows... One guestion please.. Can you tell me your opinion about Hoyt powermax vs pse stinger x most for target and hunting some times... Thanks and keep going the good work sir

I've been really enjoying watching all of your reviews. I'm looking for what will be my first bow, but I need something that comes in a 31" draw length, so my options are a bit limited... Any suggestions?

Lots of fantastic quality information here

I bought my fist bow for 1 month ago and i bought used pse stinger x from store an i love it! One Day me and my friend take bows for shootin targets and my friend had just upgrade his bow he bought Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-4 Turbo an we shoot same score all to time he was like what is going on lol. I only replace arrow rest wisker to trop away 😄 and i pay 290 euro for that bow In used so it is not price always.. Thanks making these videos! Keep it coming.

Jeez mate, that was a comprehensive review! I feel like there is a certain stigma and snobbery against the Stinger. I don't own one but I've noticed people look down their noses at it. Sad really. Sounds like great value.

Oh already done that one. The bow is branded. It is the Topoint I think it is the T1? then they have the T3 which is the copy of the Mathews Chill. With this bow you can add your own brand to it. Not a bad bow. You just need to compare price. It is cheaper than the Stinger. In Australia it is $100 less. Not as good as the Stinger in my opinion. Because of warranty and no draw stops. But it is a machined riser.

Hi Steven. Do you ship abroad e.g in Mauritius? We do not have archery shops here... too small...

I recently sold a hour powermax due to a motorcycle accident. I'm looking to get back into archery but would like a lighter draw weight bow. In your opinion, how would you compare this stinger to the powermax. I really enjoy just shooting bow not necessarily hunting but maybe. Any help will be appreciated.

Amazing review! I noticed that PSE offers two RTS packages for the stinger. One standard and one pro that includes a drop-away rest. I was wondering what your opinion of this pro package is.

Hey, thanks for the review. I'm new to the sport and had a question about your comment about the 14 year old competing. You were saying he was shooting $200 arrows and his upper competition were shooting ~$500 arrows. Are you saying it's that amount per single arrow or is that for some implicit amount?

Your presentations are great, thanks. I was noticing you don't have a sight on the string, is that correct, you are just using the pins on the riser?

@scotteger6271

If you mean a peep in the string they're not necessary. They help a little but this guy shoots so much it becomes intuitive after a point. If you anchor in the same spot everytime the pins of your sight will fall into place

Silly question , upgrade the cams quality secondhand, or new.

What a review, thanks.

Been shooting a Stinger for 3 years now, always solid. I'm actually looking for a reason to upgrade, but there aren't many... lol

How's Liam going with the Xpression? Have his scores now exceeded those he shot with the Stinger?

You got any in stock? 2017 model? Cheers

Just want to point out that a Stiletto is actually a type of dagger with a narrow blade that the shoes were named after.

I shoot 283 average in league with my 2016 premonition hd bow at 62.5lbs, Easton flattline arrows at 372 grains and 303 fps through chronograph. Top point archery pendulum sight

The p s e stinger is an absolute magnificent bow . I shoot field archery in the uk, paper faces and mckenzie's 3d That bow will compete with anybody regardless of what equipment they might think they got the best. Just keep shooting and having fun.

I bought a droptine sx, same bow just renamed for dicks and field and stream. I was just wondering how many turns I can back out the limb bolts? On the 70lb model

I've been shooting one for three years now. I really like it and have killed several deer with it.

depends if you prefer a thick grip vs a narrow grip. the Singer X will have a smother draw and be noticeably lighter to hold in the hand. both will have similar speed with the stinger on its performance setting. both will be a good bow. personally i would go with the stinger. i shoot a mission ballistic and my partner a stinger (which if im honest wish i had one also, but im after a longer axle to axle now). when i shoot her bow its more obvious when i have poor form as the groupings show it worse than with the ballistic.

Clayton I see this was unanswered...I realize it's a year old comment so you probably already bought something or figured it out, but what is your draw length being so tall? The newer PSE Drive 3b XL goes to a 32" draw and is a little longer axle to axle so that might be a good starter bow for you, if you haven't purchased anything. Steve has a review of the Drive and Drive XL.

Would you say this is still the best budget bow today? If not, which ones would you recommend?

Aussie Archery Steve !!!!!!!

Anybody know the limb bolts size for this bow

Hi i have question about limbs pocket.. they are made of metal or plastic ?

@scotteger6271

4 жыл бұрын

On lower end bows like this they are plastic pockets, but the limb bolt is supported in metal. Also keep in mind these companies designed it to be this way. Modern polymers (plastics) are very strong. Glock has been making plastic guns for a long time and other big companies as well. Watch some torture tests of plastic Magpul magazines and I think you will understand. Once you see a full size SUV drive over a plastic magazine and its unharmed you get the impression that nothing I'll do day to day will be that extreme.

Would you prefer the Stinger-x over the Kinetic Heretic? Kinetic is allegedly the budget brand of Win&Win and the guy at my bowshop praises it a lot. Price is almost the same, but the Kinetic has a machined riser, metal limb pockets and hybrid cams. It is a bit heavier and a bit longer though.

@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale

I shot that bow. The Win and Win is no longer made and was more expensive. I struggled to sell the win and win. I shot the win and win very well. The stinger has more adjustment. The Stinger uses the gg limbs which are good limbs. People shoot great scores with the Stinger. So win and win is fine.

Thank you so much for the answer!!! :) Also, do you think the w&w would be a lot faster? I could find no IBO data about it. The cams are a lot more aggressive, the letoff is around 70% and the valley is VERY short, I was able to draw one in the shop. My feeling is that the stinger is probably a lot easier to master and if the w&w is not a lot faster I'll probably go with the stinger.

Hello from the UK. Yeah that's right l'm a Pommy. I have just subscribed to your Fantastic Channel. I LOVE your Honesty on All the different bows.

@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale

7 жыл бұрын

The issue with the Edge is it goes to 70# which you will never use. So you need to wind the bow down. Winding the bow down decreases the performance of the bow. Also the Edge does not have a draw stop, it does not have the compression limbs. I would buy the same bow as your son. That way you have the same gear. My partner and her daughter have the same bow. It means you can compete based on skill and not equipment.

Would you recommend a used PSE stinger or a new junxing M125 compound?

So I personally don't rate warranty, although for the customer they are great. I had a guy this week with a 10 year old PSE. PSE replaced the bow. Now as a consumer I never claim warranty. So I would buy the Stinger as ot is a better bow. Stinger I can shoot great scores with. Saying that when I was a kid and I was broke I brought a bow second. I did not notice the crack in the limb and the broke after 2 weeks and that was 2 years wages for me. However my new York had previously cracked a limb and The supplier would not give me limbs. PSE is a great company Stinger is the most sold bow and very few problems. second hand should be half price but new strings are 1/4 of the price.

I've still got it but it's old I wouldn't be game enough to draw back it probably break and fly into my face 😂. I'm a rifle shooter mostly now but and have firearm and now on my R hunting licence, probably will end up getting the stinger, seems logical

I like the Afflictor - good limbs. Very adjustable in weight. The problem with it you can have is when you change the poundage by changing the string length you can have an issue with the cable and cam wear. This is due to cam lean. Then you need to move the cam position. But most people will not have this issue. Only an issue when adjusted and on maximum draw length.

Then I weekends I delivered papers to letter boxes for $20 for 1,000. Archery gear today is actually cheaper than when I started. The bow I brought second hand which broke after 2-3 weeks was $500. It was a Martin Cougar. My first compound was $50 second hand. I won the Australian championships at 14 broke the Australian records with cheap gear. That is all I could afford. I had to buy my own clothes and everything. There are always people willing to pay you to do work. I need painting done, gardening done. You just get a job and work your way up. I appreciate what I have today - because I had to work so hard for it. I work 7 days a week. I don't recall having a holiday. I don't drink or smoke. I work and do archery. My dad died at Christmas - he was doing ok - I got nothing. Which is ok, because I work for what I have. I don't rip people off, I provide good service at a good price and people come back. I guess I have 40,000 customers, most I have had for years.
