The small frame may also be difficult to hold for larger archers. The smaller size and relatively low power of this bow may not be what more experienced archers require. The Bandit certainly has its appeal for tight space archers, but other styles of archery may require a different bow. Many beginner archers could also take advantage of the lower power and small size to learn with. Archers who like to hunt from the trees or ground blinds will love the size and presence of this bow in a close quarter’s situation. The unique nature of the Bandit makes it great for those who need a decent bow in a tight situation. The low draw weight means a slightly less powerful shooting speed, but the maximum speeds of up to 307 fps are more than enough for most hunting needs. Everything about the Bandit NXT was designed for the tightest of spaces and its lower draw weight from 40-50 pounds gives you the freedom to draw the bow without much effort. The lightweight frame of the bow means you can have more control of the bow in smaller spaces and will feel comfortable holding it for long periods of time. To help the bow be even easier to move around, it only weighs in at 3.7 pounds, making it one of the lightest bows in its class. The smaller frame of the bow allows for extra clearance when you need to move around in the trees or limited-height situations.
The 28-inch frame of the bow is much smaller than many other hunting bows and offers a very unique shooting experience. The Bandit NXT takes raw hunting power and confines it into a small frame so archers can be confident that their bow will perform anywhere they take it. Not every hunt is going to be in a wide-open field, so you need a bow that will be able to work in any situation. With a combination of small size and big performance, this bow is certain to turn heads wherever it goes. In the case of PSE, they certainly succeeded at creating a bow that is both compact and deadly with the Bandit NXT. Taking the essence of a full-sized hunting bow and reducing it down in every way can either create a less-than-useful bow or something truly special.
