preyingman.com - Hunting, fishing and general malarkey abounds in this podcast (formerly The KRAVE) as we experience and discuss the best (and worst) of the outdoor lifestyle through the eyes and mouths of three different sportsmen hailing from three different parts of the USA. Oh and we're also an outdoor lifestyle apparel company churning out wicked designs on 100% printed in the USA garments for folks who love the outdoors as much as we do and want to wear their pride on their sleeve, literally.
I'm going to shoot both soon and decide. I have a 30" draw length. I'd prefer the Revolt but most bows that short wont' allow me to get string on noise without head dip. But the longer brace height will help that, also if the cams are large that'll help too. Just did some math: with some simplifying assumptions (ignoring cam height and limb deflection during draw), the point where my nose would touch the string given current set up is only 0.058 inches further forward on the 30" Revolt compared to Revolt X. Adding in cam height will make this an even smaller difference in practice. The 0.75" additional brace height is largely responsible for this very small difference. I'll be very pleased if I can comfortably shoot the Revolt instead.
Thanks for putting this review out there. I've been test firing some new bows looking for my first 'new bow' purchase. I've shot Elite, Matthews and Bowtech as I consider what I want to replace my aging Bowtech General with. Your tests echoed what I found when I shot the Revolt X. Looks like I'll be going with the Revolt X. Now I need to figure which sight to mount on one.
You was close on using the car alignment, but explaining it as a four wheel alignment would be a better explanation. Rest is your front end and the cams are your rear end. Car can run down the straight, but actually the car could be side crawling so getting both aligned with track down the road.
Never understood this obsession with speed. You just miss the target quicker. The emphasis should be on precision, perfect form and accuracy of the shot. Speed is way down the list.
For hunting. You're right that a good shot is more important but speed means power and power means the arrow will get through all the tough leathery skin and lead to a kill instead of just wounding.
@@benwilliams3539 not true fool...how do you think people killed deer and elk, etc. before 1968??? Recurve don't do 200fps but can certainly bring down any animal your compound can.
That was awesome u guys went back with visual aides and showed us. That’s really cool of u guys! Stuff like that is really over looked! Being new to bow hunting it gives me a sense of what I’m paying for on these bows
Nice chrono. I have the same brand but it is a different model. I like how consistent they are. The heavy duty shop model like you have are hard to find so don't ever let that one get away from you. I am looking hard at the reckoning 38. I have my BT specialist which I love. I have the barnsdale limbs on it. It is a shooter. The R38 is the only bow since the specialist that has got my attention. Last year's R35 is nice also but the longer length of the R38 is calling my name. I like that you did test the R38 grained out at 30". The performance was pretty good for a target bow of that spec. The revolt and revolt x are great hunting bows but nothing can quite compare to the feel and shootability of a good designed target bow.
One mistake you guys made. The original binary cam system Bowtech had... If you didn’t get a bullethole you shim the cams. You don’t necessarily have to move your rest. In fact you should never move your rest once it’s set at centershot.
I’m not positive but I don’t think cam lock is for setting your center shot. You set your center shot then tune according your style of shooting grip ext.
Nope. You set your rest at 13/16” centershot and shoot through paper. Then you use the cam lock system to align the cams to achieve a bullethole.. you’ll never have to touch your rest with these bows.
@@rainsong7327 The Realm SS was designed with smoothness in mind so I wouldn't say it's smoother than the SS. However when compared to the SR6 we thought it was on par or smoother than that.
Gentlemen excellent review. Just a note you said that the brace height on the Revolt is 7-3/4" however it lists at 7-1/4" (small mistake as you did show the correct written spec)
Take those hands OUT of your Pockets !!! anybody in or has been in the Royal Navy would get into serious trouble for doing that ?? So seeing you do this, in our minds, we switch off !! > as we say = are you feeling Cocky ?? otherwise > It`s a good review guys !! Thank You !!
It's made by a company called, Custom Chronograph Inc. That particular model is the heavy duty proshop model. I have the speedtach model. These are very nice chronos and are the best chronos I have ever used. They are very stable and give repeatable numbers. The company is still in business but no longer makes these chronos. Their website is xradarusa.com/
What a bunch of high school girls you all are arguing over the two in the comments section. Shut up and just buy the one you like.. Bunch of teenage girls I swear!
only question i have when i see these comparison videos these bows both in different price range why don’t anyone use the hoyt helix vs the vertix since the same price range
