Mathews Launches Its 2026 Flagship Hunting Line — the ARC 30 & ARC 34

The ARC 30 and ARC 34 are here, and they're Mathews' 2026 flagship hunting bows. The headline change is a new SWX-2 cam built around perimeter-weight technology. There's a redesigned riser too. And the Silent Connect System? It's now integrated straight into that riser — the separate anchor is gone.

Speed-wise, the compact ARC 30 rates roughly 348 fps IBO. The longer ARC 34 gives up a little, sitting around 343 fps, but it's the more stable of the pair — the one long-draw archers and Western shooters will gravitate toward. Both ship in a wide range of finishes.

None of this is a speed-chasing exercise. The ARC line sticks with what Mathews has always cared about: a quiet, dead-in-hand shot over the biggest number on the spec sheet. That philosophy is exactly why serious bowhunters keep coming back to the brand, year after year.
