Bow Review Video: Obsession Ultra Mag 360

The Obsession Ultra Mag 360 is an enjoyable bow to shoot despite its high velocity. Despite its ultra-stable 33.125-inch platform, the Ultra Mag 360’s bow-only weight is merely 3.54 pounds.

The Ultra Mag 360 by Obsession Bows blends a medium axle-to-axle length with a magnesium riser flaunting key engineering details to yield a well-balanced platform. Although the test bow fell shy of the manufacturer’s listed velocity (up to 362 fps), Bowhunting World’s Field Editor, Darron McDougal, found it to be plenty fast. Even without a stabilizer, the bow balances and aims effortlessly.

A Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph measured the arrow velocities. Other products used were Easton’s Nock and D-Loop Pliers and Pro Hex Fold-Up Allen Set.
