PSE Omen Archery Compound Bow Review
The PSE Omen Archery Compound Bow is a high-performance bow designed to provide unparalleled speed and accuracy for archers of all skill levels. As a seasoned archer, I was excited to put this bow through its paces and see if it lived up to its promises.
Key Features and Benefits
The Omen Compound Bow boasts several key features that set it apart from other bows on the market. Here are some of the most notable features:
- E2 and S2 Cam Systems: The Omen’s E2 and S2 cam systems are specifically designed to maximize energy transfer from the limbs to the arrow. This results in improved speed and accuracy, making it a great choice for archers who want to shoot at high velocities.
- Full Draw Stability (FDS) Technology: The Omen’s FDS technology actively resists induced torque, providing greater accuracy and stability during the draw cycle. This feature is particularly useful for archers who struggle with inconsistent draw lengths.
- Upgraded Riser: The Omen’s upgraded riser delivers a "dead in hand" shooting experience, providing a lighter weight and improved performance. The riser also features machined mounting holes for use with a Hamskea Epsilon rest, and a machined dovetail system for zero-tolerance QAD Integrate rest mounting.
- Precision Buss Tuning System: The Omen’s Precision Buss Tuning System works in conjunction with the E2 and S2’s wider payout tracks to provide more effective micro-adjustments and fine-tuning.
Pros
- Improved Speed and Accuracy: The Omen’s E2 and S2 cam systems, FDS technology, and upgraded riser all contribute to improved speed and accuracy.
- Increased Consistency: The Omen’s Full Draw Stability (FDS) technology and machined mounting holes for the riser ensure consistent draw lengths and performance.
- Lighter Weight: The Omen’s upgraded riser and machined mounting holes for the riser make it a great choice for archers who want a lighter weight bow.
- Easy to Use: The Omen’s Limb Vice Pocket System and machined dovetail system make it easy to adjust and fine-tune the bow.
Cons
- Higher Price Point: The PSE Omen Archery Compound Bow is a high-end product, and its higher price point may be a barrier for some archers.
- Limited Draw Length Range: While the Omen’s upgraded riser and machined mounting holes for the riser make it a great choice for archers who want a lighter weight bow, it may not be suitable for archers who prefer a wider draw length range.
- Requires Adjustment: The Omen’s Precision Buss Tuning System requires adjustment, which can be time-consuming and may require professional assistance.
Experience with the Omen
As a seasoned archer, I was excited to put the PSE Omen Archery Compound Bow through its paces. I started by shooting at 20 yards, and I was impressed with the bow’s speed and accuracy. The E2 and S2 cam systems worked seamlessly together, and the FDS technology provided greater stability and consistency during the draw cycle.
As I progressed to 30 yards, I noticed that the bow’s speed and accuracy continued to improve. The upgraded riser and machined mounting holes for the riser made it a great choice for archers who want a lighter weight bow.
However, I did notice that the Omen required some adjustment to get the hang of it. The Precision Buss Tuning System took some time to get used to, but once I adjusted to it, I was able to shoot at high velocities with ease.

While it may require some adjustment to get the hang of it, the benefits of this bow far outweigh the drawbacks.
