The bow in 30 seconds
The 2026 PSE Sicario Carbon is the fastest carbon hunting bow ever built — 357 fps IBO, 33" axle-to-axle, 5.25" brace. The new FDS Cam delivers a smooth draw despite the aggressive geometry. Dead Frequency Carbon riser kills vibration. At 3.9 lb with a $1999 price tag, it competes directly with Hoyt's RX-10 and Mathews' carbon line.

Spine guidance
Sicario's 357 IBO + 5.25" brace eats spine. Most setups need 300 once you factor in the long-draw / heavy-point combo typical at 70lb. Use the spine confidence indicator in the builder — Sicario is notorious for tearing out paper with weak spine.

Open the builder →Velocity estimates
Using the standard ATA / IBO velocity formula, a 440gr arrow at the PSE Sicario Carbon's 357 fps IBO should chrono around 273 fps off your bow. Real-world velocity will vary by ±5 fps depending on string condition, peep + d-loop weight, and tune state.
Common tune issues on the PSE Sicario Carbon
Over-spined arrow. The biggest issue with the PSE Sicario Carbon is shooters going to 300 spine when 340 is correct, then seeing tail-high tears that take forever to chase. Start with manufacturer spine chart, validate with the builder.
Wrong sight radius. If you're using a slider sight, the sight radius from peep to pin housing affects every yard mark on the tape. The Sparrow sight tape generator (Pro) needs this accurate to the 1/8".
