Introducing the New Mathews Bow for 2026: The ARC™

The new Mathews 2026 ARC™ compound bow was designed to give you an edge when nothing else does. Mother Nature is fast, ruthless, and she’s been winning since the beginning. That’s why the team at Mathews has spent decades chasing every ounce of performance, every advantage, every breakthrough. The 2026 ARC is the sharpest edge yet — your chance to step into her world and stack the odds in your favor.

STEP UP. PUSH FURTHER. SET THE PACE.

Engineered for speed and refined for archers who demand more, the 2026 ARC™ combines enhanced stability, efficiency, and versatility in a lightweight, high-powered platform. Built on Mathews’ most advanced riser design to date, the new SWX-2 Cam with perimeter weight technology, and a redesigned limb cup and limb geometry, every system within the ARC platform has been scrutinized to retain velocity across hunting setups.

Redesigned SWX-2 Cam

A second generation SWX Cam with Perimeter Weight Technology works alongside the rest of this powerful system to both reduce felt recoil while retaining speed, even once fully set up with a peep sight and d-loop that traditionally reduce performance. In side-by-side comparisons, hunting setups that typically cost past models significant speed, maintain performance with the ARC — giving hunters flatter trajectories and more forgiveness in the field.

Reinforced Riser Design

The ARC’s reinforced chassis provides added strength and rigidity where it matters most while retaining an ultra-lightweight and agile platform. Now more feature rich than ever, the ARC riser incorporates a machined Silent Connect anchor alongside a new fully integrated V-bar mounting port.

Redesigned Limb Assembly

Optimizes limb equilibrium creating a perfectly parallel limb path to enhance feel, increase efficiency, and decrease post-shot vibration. The redesigned limb cup reduces weight while adding stability.

SWX-Z Mod

This new mod option offers a more generous curve to produce an ultra-smooth draw with a modest tradeoff in peak speed ratings.

The 2026 ARC™ comes in 30-inch and 34-inch specs.
