Mathews Introduces 2027 Hunting Bows and Accessories

Sparta, Wisconsin – Engineered to tackle any pursuit, the 2027 ARC® APEX™ Series brings decades of Mathews innovation into one uncompromising platform. The APEX's three axle-to-axle configurations are designed to deliver the speed, consistency, and confidence for whatever lies ahead. Integrated with the new Flite™ Cable Containment system, third-generation SWX® Cam, and designed compatible with Mathews' new line of LowPro™ Slim Quivers, the APEX™ Series brings proven technologies together in a refined shooting platform built to perform when it matters most.

Available in 28", 32", and 35" axle-to-axle configurations, the APEX™ Series offers a profile for every pursuit. With speeds up to 347 fps, draw lengths ranging from 24.5" to 32.5", and draw weights from 55 to 80 pounds, each configuration delivers the performance, precision, and proven durability that defines Mathews.

"With the APEX Series, we wanted to give bowhunters the freedom to choose a setup that fits their hunting style," said Mark Hayes, Mathews Design Engineering Manager. "From a compact, maneuverable platform to a longer profile built for ultimate stability, each configuration offers a unique feel, while delivering the performance and reliability we demand from every bow."

Flite™ Cable Containment

The new Flite™ Cable Containment system puts arrow vane clearance in the archer's hands with an intuitive, adjustable roller guard that moves inward or outward to achieve ideal fletching clearance. Designed to accommodate a wide range of vane profiles, Flite™ eliminates the need to rotate arrow nocks to avoid cable contact, giving archers greater freedom to tailor their setup around their arrow preferences. Seamlessly integrated into the bow's design, the system delivers simple, precise adjustment for consistent arrow flight.

"Traditionally, roller guards are in a fixed position," said Hayes. "This position is set where it gives the majority of fletchings on the market enough clearance without putting too much torque into the system. The Flite Cable Containment System now allows you to adjust that clearance to your specific fletching preferences while minimizing the amount of torque you have in your setup."

Redesigned SWX-3 Cam

The SWX-3 Cam builds on a proven platform, combining Perimeter Weight Technology to reduce felt recoil with maximum speed and performance across the draw length spectrum. New for 2027, the SWX-3 features precision timing reference marks that provide a clear visual guide for cam timing, giving archers greater visibility into the system and allowing for a more accurately timed setup across the draw weight range. A new string track further improves the dynamic performance of the cam, complementing a system engineered for speed and consistency. Compatible with Mathews' performance SWX mods and the ultra-smooth SWX-Z mod, the SWX-3 Cam offers archers the flexibility to tailor their setup to their preferred shooting experience.

New Riser Geometry

The APEX™ riser features an updated geometry that adds rigidity while maintaining a lightweight chassis. Built compatible with our full line of Mathews Genuine accessories, every detail is purposely designed to work together for a streamlined setup that improves balance and cuts down unnecessary bulk.

LowPro® Slim Quiver Series

Designed specifically for use with 2 and 3 blade mechanical broadheads, the new LowPro™ Slim Quivers deliver a streamlined profile that is 22% slimmer than Mathews' standard LowPro® Quivers. Available in detachable 5-arrow and fixed 6-arrow configurations, the Slim Series offers archers an even lower profile solution that integrates seamlessly with the bow while providing secure, accessible arrow storage. The result is a quiver that moves the archer's arrows closer to the riser than ever before, further enhancing balance and minimizing vibration.

LowPro® Short Draw (SD) Detachable Quiver

Designed specifically for archers with shorter draw lengths and arrows, the new LowPro™ SD Quiver delivers the same streamlined, detachable design as the standard LowPro™ Quiver, allowing for quick and silent removal. Its shortened configuration provides improved fletching clearance around the lower retention arm, helping prevent vane contact while keeping arrows securely in place. The SD Quiver brings the proven fit, function, and integration of the LowPro™ platform to short draw archers.

White-Out Series

The White-Out Series was a highly requested addition to the Mathews lineup that brings a clean, white aesthetic to bow customization. Mathews has added White as one of its newest limb finish options on the APEX™ along with new accessories such as white BOND™ side plates and white Bridge-Lock® stabilizers. These new options allow archers to carry a fresh, custom look across key components of their setup.

The 2027 ARC APEX is available in eight finish options, including Mathews' newest solid offering, Sage, as well as Mossy Oak® Fall Foliage. You can find more information on the ARC APEX and new accessory line at mathewsinc.com and experience them today at your local Mathews retailer.
