ARC 34 or ARC 30?

Choose the longer platform
Why ARC 34?
Its longer geometry, 32-inch draw-length ceiling, and settled feel make it the natural starting point for longer-draw shooters and anyone who values stability at full draw.
Choose the compact platform
Why ARC 30?
At 30 inches axle to axle and under four pounds, it is easier to maneuver in tight cover, tree stands, and ground blinds while carrying the ARC platform's fastest advertised rating.
Specifications are manufacturer ratings. Finished speed and feel vary with draw length, arrow choice, accessories, and tuning.
