Rated 5 out of 5 by thammer Great Purchase
When shopping around for my first bow, the PSE stinger caught my eye. Having shot a few of my friends bows in the past I had a good idea of what I was looking for in a bow. This product suited my needs for its ease of use and price. After shooting for the first time it only took about 12 arrows to sight the bow in. I'm finding the groupings are tight and bow is fairly quiet. With a few upgrades I'm hoping to making it into a lethal hunting bow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptAdams35 Compounds have come a long way
I was still using my old York CNC-1 until I broke the string on it and decided it was time to look at getting something more modern. While at Bass Pro in Okc, I spent some time talking to Allen and he suggested I try out the PSE Stinger. I liked the way it looked and was a bit apprehensive about the tiny grip on the narrow riser, but soon got over that. I shot a few arrows and really liked the way it felt in carry, draw and release. After about 30 minutes he had it set up to my draw and draw weight and was tagging the little 4" target with no effort at all. If you know anything about the CNC-1 with the graphite limbs, you know she's super fast. The PSE Stinger will give her a run for her money in both speed and accuracy. I very HIGHLY recommend this bow to any shooter of every experience level. You won't find a better bow for the buck.

i got this bow in skullworks camo last year and bass pro shops set me up right in store but i had to give it 4 stars because i had troubles with the peep sight popping out of the bow string almost every time i drew the bow back but i plan on getting a new bow string soon and a new peep sight and hope fully that will stop that from happening but dont let that stop you from buying the bow its super smooth shooting and deadly accurate great bow overall

We averaged 314fps at a 60# draw using 29" carbon fiber arrows with 100gr field tips. It's fast.A:
The lower the draw weight, the lower your ultimate arrow speed and power is going to be. That being said; the difference is so minor that if you place the shot on target you will never know the difference. Whatever speed you lose from the draw weight can generally be made up by arrows, heads, fletchings, ect.A:
The simple answer is that PSE or any other maker lists a minimum arrow weight per pound of pull to prevent damage to the bow. My PSE stated 5 grains of arrow weight per pound of pull.ie: 60 lbs X 5 grains = 300 grains min arrow weight. I choose to err on the safe side, mine weigh 371 grains. This may not be as fast as rated but will help ensure the durability of the bow.Details:
i have some where around 420-430 bucks to spend and i've heard that in the RTS package some of the accessories are low quality like the sight and whisker biscuit, should i buy the RTS or go with my own parts i dont know if the extra 120 bucks i save will be enough to ge teverything i need.Answers

This package has very good components on an excellent bow. You won't want to change anything after you shoot itA:
I bought the rts package and loved it. I shot it for about a week to get used to it then changed out the sight to a tru glo and the stabilizer to an octane 5" ultra lite but that is all I have done to it so far and it shoots like a champ.A:
i would go with the rts because if you were to buy the bare bow you would have about 110 dollars left (tax) and that is going to get you just ALMOST everything the rts package already hasA:
The package is a good value. The Trophy Ridge stuff that comes on it has never let me down. You will spend more than the extra 100 bucks, to piece together your own package.A:
Go with the parts that are on there at first. As stuff wears out, or you decide that you want to try something different, then replace it. The package they put together is not always the top of the line, but its good enough to get you used to the bow and decide what is comfortable for your individual preferences.A:
Depends on your needs. I purchased the RTS package and it was shooting bulls eyes right out of the box at 20 yards.This is the first whisker biscuit I have used so I am not a expert on how good it is but it seems to be working fine. It's very quiet so I will be sticking with this one for hunting.
I do agree on the sight, they should at least included a fiber optic site.
The sight they do include is fair and will allow you time to figure out which sight is best for you as the price range for sights is pretty large.

The only thing I thought was really cheap was the quiver. Is there better sights and rests on the market? Absolutely but these do the job. I've killed a deer already and she didn't seem too offended I had cheaper sights and restQ:

we chronographed 6 arrows with an average of 314fps using 29" carbon fiber arrows with 100gr field tips on a 60# draw. She's fast.A:
The ibo rated speed for the 70# model is 314 fps. That is the best case scenario. 350 grain arrow. No extra weight on string, 30 inch draw and set at 70#. I have mine set to 27 inch draw and 65 # draw and I'm Shooting right at 270 fps with my arrows at the moment. It's. still a fast bowA:

One of the models says it adjusts from 45 to 75 pounds. Is that true?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
They adjust from 45 - 70#. I have mine set at 60# and she shoots super fastA:
Yes it is true. You can adjust the limb bolts a full 10 turns out which would bring it from 45 lbs at full out to 70 lbs all the way in. I would not recommend going over 7 turns out on the limb bolts though just to prevent them being pulled out of the limbs in a freak accident.A:
yesA:
From my understanding and use of this bow, I haven't seen it max out past #70. Maybe after some aftermarket limbs this could be possible, but not with the stock equipment.A:
Yes, I have that model.A:
yes if you order from online this is a option when you order. If you buy from the store you must request the 45-70 or you will get the 45-60 bowA:
I'm pretty sure the only pse bow that adjusts like that is the Rally.Answers

Yes it doesA:

yes if you go to the store the clerk can adjust it for you if it doesnt fit youA:
yesA:
yep has sight , i can't say its a great one but it gets the job done. it took a little training.A:
Yes.A:
Yes, with a 3-position fiber-optic sight up front. It was well-adjusted out of the box - 4-inch groups at 10 yards, first shots.A:
Yes, it comes with a peep with a rubber tubing to keep it aligned.A:
If you are buying the RTS (Ready to Shoot) model, yes. Otherwise, ask an associate when you go to purchase.A:
Yes it does. Don't know how durable it is since mine broke after the 3 arrow.A:

Only in 10# incrrements. 40-50# will yield 290fps, 50-60# will yield 315 fps, 60-70# have gotten 330fpsA:
Not quite. The lower you make the draw weight the slower the arrow is going to shoot. And just because the ibo rating of the bow is 314 fps does not mean that you will actually be shooting that speed. I have mine set to 65# draw shooting blue streak select arrows weighing 377 grains and I'm shooting at 270 fpsA:
noA:
Arrow speed depends on the arrow, the draw length, and the poundage of the bow. The advertised speeds are done under very specific setup. I think its 70lbs draw weight 28in draw length and an unfletched arrow. Something like that. If you have a shorter draw length, lower poundage, or a heavier arrow, you're arrow will be slower.A:
No. I don't know how many fps you lose with each pound of draw weight, but physics will tell you more draw force = faster arrow.A:
No, the more weight you put the closer you to the rated speed.A:
No.Arrow speed is ultimately determined by the draw weight, arrow weight and draw length.
The lower the numbers in those areas, the lower your IBO speeds will be.
A:
A heavier draw weight will require more effort to use, but will impart more power, speed, and distance to the arrow.Answers

A:
The cams on these will accommodate a short draw length without losing and draw weight. The pro's at Bass Pro will set it up to where you won't lose any "get up 'n go"A:
this bow adjustsfrom25.5" to 30.5" draw length i don't know why they say 25-30. very misleadingA:
if your not hunting elk of any game of that size you will be fine with a 50 lb weight. Pigs deer turkeys all will go down with ease at 50 lbs, my draw weight is at 58 and my draw length is 28" I have had complete pass throughs on deer. Good luckA:
The shorter your draw length, the less let-off you get, due to the cams not making a fuller revolution.Example: As for myself, I pull a 30" draw. This allows for the cams to rotate farther than on a 25" draw. For me, I get to have more of a 75% let-off, where you may only enjoy a 55%-60% let-off, as the cams cannot rotate as far.
Does this help?

This package offered by Bass Pro Shops does not come with arrows.But on the Pse website they offer a field ready package for 100 dollars more.It comes with Pse's bow madness arrows and a case, also comes with many more accessories.Details:
on the website it says that it only goes down to 50 pounds not 40 like on your website. Which one should I believe?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
It goes down to 45#'sA:
There's different Stinger bows. There's ones with 40-60 lbs then there is a 50-70 lbs. They go a little past the ratings by a few pounds. Like my bow is 40-60 lbs but when I maxed it out it hits 66lbs.A:
The weights on the PSE website are listed as what are known as "peak" weights. Peak weights are the weights when the limb bolts are completely tightened down. The limb bolts can be taken out a set number of turns which then decreases the draw weight by a set amount per each turn. So the 50 pound peak weight bow can be taken down to well below 50 pounds.A:
The bow can be bought as a 40-60 pound version or as a 50-70 pound version. The 60 pound max version has 10-turns of adjustability that will get you down to 40 pounds.A:
Details and directions in the package indicate only down to 50.A:
All limbs have a +/- factor to them. However, the advertised weight (50#) is the peek weight. This bow has the adjustability of 10 turns from max. It should give you the 40# you are looking for. Also I'd suggest you have your "Bass Pro" sales person adjust it for you the first time. They have the working knowledge & will fit the bow to you. This bow is an awesome shooting bow for the veteran shooter as well as those just starting out & will last a long time.Top 500 Contributor
A:
I own one and the bow data card only specifies the maximum poundage @ 70. Go with the info from the PSE website.I wouldn't be suprized to hear it could be set at 40lbs with the limbs and draw length set for it though.
A:
it should not go below 50lbs.1 of 1
