After weeks of testing, the results are in. This year’s bow test puts the top 2025 carbon bows through six head-to-head performance categories—all in one video. Each bow was tuned to the same three arrows and tested under consistent conditions. The shootability test was conducted indoors at 70 yards to eliminate outside variables. No sponsorships, no fluff—just real data and honest impressions.
