Mathews Archery has once again raised the bar in bow design with the release of the ARC30 and ARC34 — two groundbreaking compound bows that redefine what archers can expect in performance, balance, and innovation.
Built for Power and Performance
The new ARC series is built on Mathews’ most advanced platform yet, featuring an all‑new system designed to deliver greater power, smoother draw cycles, and improved stability at full draw. The ARC line lives up to its name — blending cutting‑edge technology with Mathews’ signature feel.
Both bows are engineered to cater to different shooting styles:
ARC30 – Compact, maneuverable, and perfect for hunters who value speed and precision in tighter spaces.
ARC34 – Longer axle‑to‑axle length for added stability and accuracy, ideal for archers who demand balance and control, whether in the field or on the range.
Next‑Generation Design & Feel
The ARC platform introduces refinements across the riser and cam systems, resulting in a lighter, quieter shot and improved energy transfer. Early commentary has noted the bow’s “dead‑in‑hand” feel — a hallmark of Mathews engineering — while offering a more aggressive power curve and smoother let‑off.
Technology That Pushes Boundaries
Key features of the ARC series include:
Enhanced cam system for optimized energy storage and ultra‑smooth draw.
Advanced riser geometry providing rock‑solid stability and reduced vibration.
Refined grip design for consistent hand placement and shot‑to‑shot repeatability.
Improved dampening system that keeps every shot whisper‑quiet.
