This video provides a comprehensive and unbiased review of the 2022 PSE Carbon Levitate bow, highlighting its lightweight design and speed. The reviewer, a long-time PSE enthusiast, compares it to other high-end PSE hunting bows like the EVO EVL and Carbon Air Mach 1, and also mentions reviews of the Mathews V3 and Hoyt Ventum. The bow is presented as a versatile option for various hunting environments, from western mountains to eastern hardwoods, making it a strong contender for future bowhunting adventures.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an RTS Tactical Level 3A SWAT shield against various archery projectiles. While traditional and pocket shot arrows failed to penetrate, a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow at 330 fps caused significant penetration. The TenPoint Viper S400 crossbow, firing a broadhead at 400 fps, completely penetrated the shield, highlighting the limitations of Level 3A protection against high-powered crossbows.

This experiment tests the penetration power of arrows against hard hats. A PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, drawing 75 lbs and shooting at 330 fps, was used. A standard practice tip arrow penetrated two hard hats, stopping at the third. A stainless steel broadhead arrow, however, completely pierced three hard hats, demonstrating significantly higher penetration capability.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against fresh coconuts. A traditional bow at 170 fps penetrated one coconut, a compound bow at 340 fps penetrated two to three, and a crossbow exceeding 400 fps also penetrated multiple coconuts, demonstrating significant power differences.

This experiment tests how many footballs an arrow can penetrate using different bows. A PSE compound bow and a TenPoint crossbow, both shooting around 340-370 fps, stopped arrows in the sixth football. A traditional recurve bow, however, only penetrated the first football, demonstrating a significant power difference.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against seven stacked Lifetime plastic tables. A recurve bow at higher draw weights and a Pocket Shot slingshot could penetrate the first table. A PSE compound bow with broadheads pierced three tables, while a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow at 470 FPS achieved the highest penetration, clearing three tables and stopping at the fourth.

This video revisits the physics of arrow flight, specifically testing how far arrows travel when launched at a 45-degree angle compared to a lower angle. It demonstrates that a 45-degree launch significantly increases distance for both compound and traditional bows. The experiment uses precise angle measurement tools and compares results from a compound bow, a traditional recurve bow, and a high-speed crossbow.

This video demonstrates the dangerous and experimental creation of grenade arrows launched from a PSE Heritage recurve bow. The creator successfully detonated M67-style grenades attached to arrows, causing significant explosions and shrapnel damage to targets. The video highlights the challenges of handling such a weapon, including the weight of the payload and the difficulty of arming the grenade during the shot.

This video compares the real-life performance of Minecraft-inspired bows and crossbows against FBI-standard ballistic gel. A PSE Heritage recurve bow at 100 fps penetrated halfway, while a PSE compound bow at 350 fps with a broadhead passed through the entire gel torso. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, boasting 470 fps and 192 ft-lbs of energy, nearly penetrated a 20-inch gel block with a Muzzy broadhead.

This experiment tests the penetration power of different bows through watermelons. A recurve bow penetrated three watermelons, a compound bow with a practice tip penetrated four and stopped in the fifth, while a broadhead stopped in the third. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow with a broadhead penetrated five watermelons, and with a practice tip, it penetrated six.

This video demonstrates the flight time of arrows shot vertically using different bow types. A recurve bow arrow fell in 8.5 seconds, a compound bow arrow in 12 seconds, and a high-speed crossbow arrow in 18.5 seconds. Specialized whistling arrow tips were used to aid in tracking the arrow's descent, adding weight but providing an auditory cue.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of budget riot shields against various archery projectiles. While a single shield can stop a basic recurve bow arrow, higher-velocity compound bows and crossbows easily penetrate. The experiment concludes that at least three layers of these $50 shields are needed to stop high-powered crossbow bolts.
