DO NOT BUY THE 2016 PSE DRIVE R!!! I can't even believe these people want to call themselves one of the top archery brands! I'm disgusted and appalled. No longer do I want to buy PSE products. I'd rather take our future business to a better more respectful company.Their FAULTY Product could have severely injured/ killed my husband who is an experienced archer and hunter, and that makes me infuriated. I hope they put out a recall but they most likely won't so I'm trying to save some lives. Customer service was alerted to the issue, and I basically got the big fat middle finger, and them trying to blame my husbands " improper " use. A top rated company should have good customer service not an instant screw you attitude.
Here's how it all happened: My husband received this bow in the skull-works II color for Christmas. We went down and bought it at our local PSE archery dealer, after hours of research, as he had shot a compound bow before, and wanted a better one for larger game hunting. PSE SHOULD HAVE inspected their Product BEFORE it ever left their factory but they did NOT. This specific bow did not even just have one problem, it had MULTIPLE! A $500 product made by a top rated company should have 0 Problems NOT multiple. With all the issues of faulty craftsmanship, it broke 24 of the arrows we bought for it. When you would go to release the arrow, the cable guard knocked off veins and swings the arrows to the left causing him to miss the target all together. Which in turn, damaged the arrows when they scrapped along the ground and hit the wall behind the target. This would not have happened, had the bow not been faulty.
We owned the product for exactly 5 days before the string stop wore almost all the way through the cable, and the cable guard was placed by the factory in the wrong direction. Due to the issues that were caused during manufacturing, if he were to draw it back at its 70lb draw weight again, the cable could have snapped back from the pressure easily damaging my husbands face, and potentially taking out his eye or getting him killed if he had been hunting large game and been spotted by an animal who decided to charge him. It is supposed to be placed to the right, but this one was placed to the left. So we had to take it in to be repaired, and the shop ended up replacing the bow when they had it for an entire week after they discovered the multiple problems. All of the issues would not have happened if it were manufactured properly instead of carelessly. So please don't buy yourself a headache and injury waiting to happen. read more
