PSE Axe 6
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the PSE Axe 6:
PSE's Axe 6 had great scores in the balance/feel and draw cycle categories. It also did ok in the shot noise category, however, it dipped low in shock/vibration. The Axe grip is one that actually gets better at full draw. It is ok at rest but at full draw it is not only comfortable but functional as well. When you couple the likeable grip with a low mass weight you end up with a good score! The draw cycle is sharp at the onset but gets smoother all the way to the end. The Axe 6 also demonstrates good balance at full draw.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.

Speed Results Graph / Data These graphs represent the consistency in speed (in FPS) over 10 bow shots (5 shots each on 2 chronographs) using the 350gr arrow shot out of a bow attached to a Hooter Shooter. We are including these graphs to illustrate the reliability and accuracy of the speed data.
