Description:
The Mathews Arc 30 Compound Bow is engineered for hunters who want flagship-level performance in a compact and agile package. At the heart of this bow is the innovative SWX-2 cam system, designed to optimize stored energy and transfer it more efficiently into arrow launch velocity while maintaining Mathews’ signature smooth draw cycle.
The redesigned riser increases stiffness and structural integrity while improving balance throughout the draw and shot sequence. This creates a more stable aiming platform, helping archers maintain accuracy under pressure.
One of the Arc 30’s most significant advancements is its integrated tuning architecture. Limb Shift Technology allows micro-adjustments to cam alignment without requiring a bow press, simplifying setup and field adjustments for archers seeking maximum precision.
Bridge-Lock accessory integration allows sights, stabilizers, and quivers to mount directly into the riser structure, reducing side weight and maintaining a cleaner centerline balance. This integrated design dramatically improves overall handling and shot consistency.
Its 30-inch axle-to-axle configuration offers outstanding maneuverability for confined shooting lanes while preserving forgiveness and stability typically associated with longer bows. Whether drawing in a treestand, maneuvering through brush, or taking quick follow-up opportunities, the Arc 30 provides confidence-inspiring control.
