PSE Sicario 35 FDS 70lb Compound Bow

PSE Sicario 35 Carbon FDS — The 336 fps Carbon Predator

Introducing the 2026 PSE Sicario 35 — a carbon predator engineered for bowhunters who crave maximum speed without giving up control, stealth, or a smooth shooting experience. At 35 inches axle-to-axle with a fierce 5-7/8 inch brace height, the Sicario 35 launches arrows at blistering velocity, delivering laser-flat trajectories and tighter pin gaps. The result is extended effective range and fewer errors on those once-in-a-lifetime shots. And with incredible kinetic energy on impact, it packs enough punch to take down the biggest game on the planet. Yet for all its raw power, the Sicario 35 stays remarkably smooth and quiet — a true predator in every sense of the word.

Key Features

336 fps — Maximum Speed for Maximum Range

The Sicario 35 hits 336 feet per second — making it one of the fastest hunting bows PSE builds. At that velocity, your arrows fly flatter, your pin gaps get tighter, and ranging errors matter less. If you're hunting western elk at 60 yards or chasing antelope in open terrain where a deer can duck a string, that speed advantage is real and meaningful. The Sicario 35 is built for hunters who want every yard they can get.

Dead Frequency Carbon Riser — Silence and Lightness Together

PSE's Dead Frequency Carbon riser is the foundation of the Sicario 35's performance. Carbon construction kills vibration at the shot — giving you an ultra-quiet, dead-in-hand feel that doesn't announce your presence in the field. It's also significantly lighter than an aluminum riser, contributing to the Sicario's impressive 3.9 lb mass weight. Speed and silence from the same riser — that's the carbon advantage.

FDS Cam System — Crisp, Silky, Controlled

The FDS Cam System ensures a crisp, silky draw cycle and a rock-solid back wall despite the Sicario's speed-focused geometry. A +10 fps boost over the previous generation delivers more velocity without adding harshness to the draw. Up to ⅞ inch of additional effective brace height at full draw adds meaningful forgiveness to what would otherwise be a demanding fast-bow brace height. Oversized ⅝-inch cam bearings provide absolute stability in rugged terrain. And adjustable let-off from 70% to 85% gives you the hold you want for your specific hunting situations.

5-7/8 Inch Brace Height — Built for Speed

The 5-7/8 inch brace height on the Sicario 35 is shorter than a forgiving hunting bow — a deliberate trade for more speed and a longer power stroke. At this brace height, arrow flight and form consistency matter more than on a forgiveness-first platform. The FDS cam's added effective brace height at full draw partially offsets this, but the Sicario 35 rewards archers with good form. If you're a confident shooter who prioritizes velocity and energy over maximum forgiveness, the Sicario is the right bow.

IMS Dovetail Rest Integration

QAD's dovetail IMS locks your rest directly to the riser — no rotation, no play, no inconsistency. On a speed bow where arrow flight precision directly impacts long-range accuracy, this level of rest-to-riser integration is a meaningful advantage. Tighter tuning, more consistent arrow flight, and better repeatable performance from shot to shot.

Precision Bow Tuning System (PBTS)

PBTS uses a three-piece string configuration for fine-grain adjustability and peak performance tuning. Advanced shooters can micro-tune the Sicario 35 for the exact performance characteristics they want — squeezing every bit of speed and accuracy out of this already impressive platform.

Limb Vise Pocket System

The Limb Vise pocket ensures perfect limb-to-riser alignment at any limb bolt setting via a redesigned pivot interface that stays centered under all conditions. Consistent limb alignment on a speed bow means consistent cam timing and consistent arrow flight — important when you're pushing the limits of what a bow can do.

Picatinny Sight and Integrate Rest Mounts

Picatinny sight mounts and Integrate rest mounts deliver direct-to-riser accessory integration — the most secure, most precise accessory mounting available. On a bow built for long-range performance, eliminating every possible source of accessory movement pays dividends in accuracy.

EZ.220 Snap Spacer System

Fast, tool-free draw length adjustments within module positions — no bow press required. Adjust your draw for perfect fit or for layered cold-weather gear without a shop visit.

3.9 lbs — Lightweight for Pack-In Hunters

At just 3.9 pounds, the Sicario 35 is impressively light for a 35-inch ATA bow with this level of performance. The carbon riser is doing real work here — delivering a fast, powerful hunting bow that won't break your back on long pack-ins to elk country.

Who It's Built For

The PSE Sicario 35 Carbon FDS is for the speed-obsessed bowhunter who refuses to give up stability. If you want a 35-inch ATA platform for a comfortable shooting experience and stability at full draw — but you also demand maximum arrow velocity, flat trajectories, and devastating kinetic energy — the Sicario 35 is exactly that bow. It's built for western hunters chasing elk and mule deer at distance, open-country hunters who need to shoot flat, and any bowhunter who understands that speed and energy on impact translate to more game recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Sicario 35 and the Mach 35 DS?

Both are 35-inch ATA PSE bows running the FDS cam, but they're built for different priorities. The Mach 35 DS is forgiveness-first with a 7-inch brace height and 326 fps — designed for long-draw hunters who want maximum comfort and forgiveness. The Sicario 35 is speed-first with a 5-7/8 inch brace height and 336 fps — designed for hunters who prioritize velocity, flat trajectories, and kinetic energy and are confident enough in their form to run a shorter brace height. The Sicario 35 also costs $100 more. Choose based on whether you prioritize forgiveness or speed.

Is the 5-7/8 inch brace height too aggressive for hunting?

The 5-7/8 inch brace height is shorter than a forgiving hunting bow, which means it rewards consistent form and is less tolerant of small errors than a longer brace height. However, PSE's FDS cam adds up to ⅞ inch of effective brace height at full draw, which partially offsets this. The Sicario 35 is an excellent hunting bow for confident, practiced shooters. If you have any concerns about form consistency, the Mach 35 DS with its 7-inch brace height may be a better fit.

What is the FDS Cam System?

FDS is PSE's proprietary cam technology that manages energy distribution through the draw cycle for a smooth, controlled shot. On the Sicario 35, it delivers a +10 fps speed boost over previous generation bows, up to ⅞ inch more effective brace height at full draw, oversized ⅝-inch cam bearings for stability, and adjustable let-off from 70% to 85%.

Why does the Dead Frequency Carbon riser matter?

Carbon risers are significantly lighter and better at dampening vibration than aluminum risers. The Dead Frequency Carbon riser contributes to the Sicario 35's 3.9 lb mass weight and delivers an ultra-quiet, dead-in-hand shot feel that keeps you undetected in the field. On a speed bow that generates more energy, vibration management matters more — and the carbon riser handles it better than aluminum.

What draw lengths does the Sicario 35 cover?

The Sicario 35 FDS covers a draw length range of 26 inches to 31-1/2 inches using module positions. Our techs can set your exact draw length in the shop at purchase.

What draw weights are available?

The Sicario 35 Carbon FDS is available in 50 lb, 60 lb, 70 lb, and 80 lb limb sets. This SKU is configured at 70 lbs. Contact us if you need a different limb set weight.
