Obsession defcon 6 review11/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Compound bows are not a one size fits all fix these days, so determining what is important to you and matching that to a bow is important. It might be a good fit for someone who puts a high priority on arrow speed and likes the advantages of a longer bow. The PSE Decree is a high performance bow from one of the nation's top bow manufacturers. Like most things in archery, its all about preference and if your hunting setup allows for a longer bow you may benefit from the added length. With an axle to axle of 35 inches, it is a bit longer, but should be a bit more forgiving. That's where the PSE Decree takes a different approach. On the downside, shorter bows tend to not be as accurate as longer bows. The positive of shooting a shorter bow is obviously maneuverability in tight places. These days most bows tend toward a short profile to accommodate tree stand shooters and ground blinds. One aspect of this bow certain shooters will appreciate is the longer axle to axle measurement. As you can see that puts the Decree right up there in terms of speed, but remember speed isn't everything when it comes to performance. Actually, the fastest bow in the market is the PSE Full Throtle that can hit speeds of 370 feet per second. Generating speeds of up to 342 makes this bow one of the fastest on out there. PSE seems to put out fast bows and the Decree is no different. When it comes to performance the PSE Decree is near the top of the class. With this type of customization available, the PSE Decree likely will be able to match the specs you are looking for. It also has the ability to range in draw length from 25 1/2 to 31 1/2 inches. Each of your limb bolts has a 7 turn limit, so finding your correct draw weight isn't a big chore. For starters this bow has easily adjustable draw weight from the #70 model offered. The PSE Decree is a dual cam compound bow that has a few nice features. One of their newest bows, the PSE Decree compound bow, is the next step in a story that has been unfolding for nearly 50 years. Now PSE is one of the most respected names in the business with some of the best hunting and shooting stars preferring the PSE brand. Their founder, Pete Shepley, started with a dream of simply improving the bows he shot for fun. Since the 1970's, the folks at PSE archery have been pushing the limits to find what works in a bow. Obsession is my idea of a great bow, good speed, quiet, accurate, comfortable cams ( wrecked shoulders will tell you what's nice and what's not!) and easy to let down from full draw, every single bow made currently is smooth so using that word to describe a bow simply shows no knowledge of most bows, because the same can be said of every one, but easy drawing leaves a lot of bows out, but not obsession.The PSE Decree is the next step in PSE's long history of high performance compound bows. Probably the best feeling and shooting bows i have ever had and that is something over 50 bows from everyone but mathews ( shot plenty just didn't like them), over the years i owned hoyts, martins, bowtech, diamond (both post and pre bowtech models) whisper creek, high country, pearson, pse, darton,evolution, bear, apa, archery research, winchester and alien, and probably a couple others i can not even recall right now. They are great bows and i currently own a defcon 6, and i have had several different models and have shot most everything they made up until hurricane harvey destroyed my archery shop and put me out of business, ![]() For what I sold the Triax for I picked both of these up and still pocketed $$$. I’ll have my hands on the FX6 early next week. They look, feel, shoot and do anything just as good if not better than the others. So why don’t I see them mentioned much on here? Just from my 2 days shooting and comparing I think they are underrated. I can also hold at full draw forever compared to the Triax. Evolution grip is great, draw cycle smooth, quiet, and accurate. Triax was great and all but grip and weight I didn’t care for. Haven’t shot the FX6 yet but very similar specs to Evolution however faster and 90% letoff. If I didn’t know the Evolution was 5 yrs old I would have thought it was a current released bow. Recently listed again so I purchased to see how it was.Ģ days later I now have an 2014 Obsession Evolution and a 2019 Obsession FX6. Started looking and found a Obsession Evolution that I had eyes on back in the summer when it was listed here but wasnt fast enough before it was snatched up. I also thought why have it when I can do the same thing with a cheaper bow. I killed 2 deer with it and couldn’t justify owning a bow that was more expensive than any gun I had. Triax was smooth, quiet and packed a punch. I picked up a Mathews Triax last summer and absolutely loved it. Who all shoots Obsession Bows? I had never heard of them until the last year or so. ![]()
