Every bow, every arrow — ranked by the numbers, not the marketing.

Same tech as the ARC 30 stretched to a 34-inch frame for steadier holding and longer draw lengths. Aimed at Western hunters, long-draw shooters and 3D crossover.

$1,469

The direct-import disruptor. Around $200 buys the bow, sight, rest, stabilizer, quiver, peep and D-loop — half what the big brands charge for the same checklist. Reviewers keep expecting junk and finding clean CNC machining instead. You give up the dealer network, the back wall is mushy, and the accessories are entry-grade. For a first bow, that's a trade plenty of people should take.

$199.99

A high-shootability ILF riser that long served as the go-to for high-level recurve archers; now being phased out in favour of the Xceed 2, which makes it a value pickup at clearance.

$349.99

Ravin's most powerful compact, hitting 500 fps and 222 ft-lb through the 360-degree HexCoil cams, with an ultra-narrow 3.6-inch cocked width. For the hunter who prioritises a tiny footprint and elite energy.

$2,649.99

A skinny .204-class carbon shaft built for Western and long-range hunters who prioritise wind-bucking and downrange retained energy, with an aluminium point outsert to boost FOC and strength up front.

$208.99

SEVR took its best-selling Ti 2.0 rear-deploy head and added a .75-inch fixed bleeder, pushing total cut past 2.75 inches. The Grade 5 titanium ferrule and Lock-and-Pivot blades carry over, so the main blades still pivot around bone instead of snapping. It's rated to 525 fps, which covers every crossbow on the market right now.

$65.97

The Whisker Biscuit is the rest that refuses to die, and the V Max is the smartest version of it yet. The patented V-Notch puts the arrow on two contact points instead of cradling it in round bristles, which kills the side-to-side wobble the original was known for. Tool-less windage and elevation adjustments with laser-engraved reference marks make tuning painless. No moving parts, nothing to time, nothing to break — $79.99 and you're done.

$79.99

The Nytrx is HHA's 2025 replacement for the long-serving Tetra, and it fixes the old gripes: completely independent 1st/2nd/3rd axis adjustments, a two-stage macro/micro windage, and an ARMOR pin carrier that finally protects the fiber. You still get HHA's silky 2.1 inches of travel and their longest sight tapes. Single-pin purists, this is the current benchmark.

$379.99

TruFire shrank the old Hardcore by 30 percent, coated the hook in nickel boron, and made both travel and trigger pressure micro-adjustable. Add four swappable triggers and a 360-degree rotating head and you've got the most adjustable index release under $110 right now. The old caliper Hardcore is on clearance for a reason.

$99.99

The MicroHex is what happens when B-Stinger takes its target-bar know-how and shrinks it for hunting. Countervail damping material is baked right into the carbon layup, so the bar itself absorbs vibration instead of relying on a rubber blob at the end. The micro diameter slices through wind better than standard bars, and at 3.5 oz bare it won't drag your bow nose-down. Three 1 oz end weights let you tune balance shot by shot.

$94.99

Southwest Archery's only one-piece longbow borrows the dymondwood, tiger wood, white oak, and padouk mix from its Tigershark recurves, and it's easily the best-looking riser under $250. Reinforced tips mean it'll take a Fast Flight string, and the box includes a stringer, rest, and actual instructions. One real problem: when we checked in June 2026, all sixteen draw-weight and hand variants were sold out at the manufacturer.
