Advanced Features of the ARC

This design minimizes felt recoil while maintaining arrow speed, ensuring that shooters achieve superior performance even with traditional accessories like peep sights.
Furthermore, an optional SWX-Z mod system enhances the draw cycle, prioritizing comfort while only slightly affecting speed. This feature is compatible with newer Mathews models from 2024 onwards.
Innovative Limb Design and Riser
The limb assembly features optimized geometry and a redesigned limb cup. These elements work together to maximize shooting efficiency and stability. Additionally, the Limb Shift Technology enables archers to tune their bows without a press, enhancing the overall user experience.
Another significant improvement is the reinforced riser. It boasts added strength in crucial areas while shedding unnecessary weight, promoting better maneuverability. This riser is compatible with a wide range of Mathews accessories, ensuring a holistic approach to archery.
Available Finishes and Options
The ARC bows are available in 13 camouflage and solid color options. Notable new colors for 2026 include Kodiak Brown and a gradient design from Kodiak Brown to Black. Archers can customize their bows to match their hunting environments.
Overall, the 2026 ARC by Mathews Archery promises to deliver exceptional performance for hunters. For more details on these innovative bows and accessories, visit El-Balad or check with local dealers.
