I am going to copy and paste the details from my short story titled Murphy's Law that I wrote about this bow and my dealings with PSE to get the bow repaired. Everything was fine with that bow except it was a dawg to get to full draw because of the hatchet type cams and right before our annual archery season in 2008 I observed a problem with the limb. I harvested at least forty (40) deer with that bow and think that PSE might have replaced the limbs on it at one time but not sure. That cam had an extremely long power stroke which means it kept the full weight of the 65 pounds on the arrow for a much longer time which yielded more kinetic energy which translates to more speed and energy in the arrow. The PSE Mach6 bow had hatchet type cams (Synergy) which was very hard to break over but the 60 percent left-off was great once you got the bow to full draw. That was about the end of my tournament shooting anyway and kept that 1000 dollar bow as a wall hanger as a back up for my hunting bow. However, that bow with the longer Mach5 custom carbon limbs had problems with the cable swedge slapping the side of the limb cut outs for the cams and PSE changed the limbs to a much shorter version of which I wasn't happy with since I desired a 48 inch axle to axle bow for target shooting which was much more forgiving than their 43 inch axle to axle Mach6 hunting weight bow. I also purchased their top of the line Mach6 target bow and had them custom fit their Mach5 carbon limbs to the Mach6 riser since they did not offer their Mach5 target bow in a left hand model and the custom fitted bow yielded arrow speeds around 300 fps if I am not mistaken. With heavy weight hunting arrows that weighed 562 grains, the bow would send an arrow at around 235 feet per second which was plenty fast at the time. With the success with that bow, I quickly became a PSE fan and shot nothing but PSE equipment and later in 1994 purchased their top of the line aka Flagship bow, the Mach6 and purchased a lifetime warranty for the bow which covered everything except maybe the bow string. Of course that arrow speed is nothing compared to the blistering IMO arrow speeds today of around 315 fps and more. I added a custom built overdraw onto the riser and used a Barners drop away rest and very light 1713 Easton Aluminum arrows tipped with a cut down nibb field point that rendered arrow speeds of 172 feet per second which was extremely fast for 1985.

PSE Mach6 I have owned Precision Shooting Equipment since around 1985 having won many Archery tournaments with one of their round wheel 48 inch length long axle to axle compound bows.
