The PSE Butcher is new for 2027: an affordable aluminium hunting bow built around PSE's proven EC2 cam. The EC2 draws smoothly and transfers energy well, so the Butcher is rated at 328 fps IBO.

It is 30 1/4" axle-to-axle with a forgiving 6 7/8" brace height and weighs 4.5 lb. Rotating modules cover draw lengths from 25.5" to 31", and let-off adjusts to 80, 85 or 90%. It also has PSE's PBTS three-piece string system, which gives more tuning room than most bows at this price. A good first serious hunting bow or a reliable spare.

This one is right hand, 70 lb peak, with Mossy Oak Mountain limbs on a black riser. Bare bow only; accessories not included.
