2019 Bowtech REALM SR6 bow review 

Unfortunately, bowtech is concerned about 80lb bow longevity, strength, and safety. Hard to do I guess. I was dead set on my next bow being 80... dealer shot me down, I got an sr6 anyway. It seems to be ahead of its time

Yep, that's about right. We shot it off camera a few times and gained/lost 2 feet depending on where we stood and the angle the arrow went through the graph. Most IBO's we have seen vary by 4-5 feet. Rarely are they over unfortunately!! Thanks for watching.

Triax is heavier than an sr6, sr6 is faster and competes in the vibration category quite well. I own one, much better performance than a Mathews. Mathews might be a touch less vibrant after shot, they're not any quieter, and the sr6 throws arrows much better

It’s hard to beat the adjustability of the SR6. You can check all the boxes you mentioned by tweaking it to your liking.

Honestly hard to say one is “better” than the other. Mathews was quieter and had less vibration. SR6 was a little quicker, lighter and we enjoyed the draw cycle options. Best to shoot both and decide what feels best👍

Vertix and sr6 are the same price, 1100 MSRP around there? Do you wanna have a 352 ibo or a 342? The sr6 fits your ata rating. Dont be scared of the bowtech, new in-house limbs, incredible technology. Their issues have passed

Jesse Williamson shot the vertix and the new revolt for 2020 from bowtech. Go with bowtech

@@ball-se6guUnfortunately Mathews still has crappy strings and cables. Factor in 150.00-200.00 to buy aftermarket strings & cables. Mathews should cut their price by a couple hundred bucks, or catch up to everyone's string quality. My first Mathews bow went through three sets of strings and cables in just a couple months. I finally bought Winners Choice strings and cables. Shot the same set for a couple years without having to replace them. I have owned tons of different bows over the years and used to shoot almost every day. I have to say Bowtech has had the best factory strings in my opinion.

@@BOOMER-rs5qn my bowtech insanity cpx shot great without a single issue for 6 years with factory strings and cables that are still being shot by the friend I sold it to. Religious string waxing without and issue. I really screwed up with my sr6, I had winners choice strings put on, for free by my pro shop, he kept the originals I hadn't used, tuning issues up the rear end. Never had that problem with octane strings. It shoots great now, just wish I didn't have to waste so much time getting a broadhead to fly right when I could've just left the factory ones on. The sr6 is a great piece of archery equipment though, I would strongly urge others to buy it if thinking of an upgrade. It's better than any other manufacturers flagship bow that I shot in the spring.

No you do not, the mod are accessible. Thanks for the question!

I know I'm pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?

@Atticus Alexander Flixportal =)

@Lance Alexzander Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!!

@Atticus Alexander no problem =)

The thing you have to realize is that, when a bow model FIRST comes out, most archery shops are sent an introductory set of 5 or so bows, and they tend to be a particular spec. The full range is not available day 1 of launch. Every Bowtech dealer I've been to (which is admittedly only 3 in my area) has had the same color and poundage, and yes, they're 60 pounds. The Hoyts, on the other hand, seem to all be #3 cam (27-30") and 70 pounds. /shrug. There's no conspiracy. It's just what came off the line first.

@@elixiriszog introducing our fastest bow available!... heres a 60# model for everyone 😆

Right at the 10 minute mark you can see it shot through the chrono at 318fps with the bow we had at only 59# draw weight and an arrow a bit heavier than IBO grain weight (IBO is based on 70# draw weight and 350 grain arrow).

palaciosivan100 Black Gold. I think the model was the “Rush”. Thanks for watching!

They still make their own. 452X Material (i believe)

And based on your tests you hit around a 340 ibo only

Hey Blue Collar - Thanks for watching. Considering the peep and the loop drops a few feet and we were light on poundage. We shot it a couple more times off camera and gained a couple feet depending on where we stood and the angle the arrow went through the graph. All things considered it seemed to clock in between 346-348. Thanks again!

Sweet, glad to hear. I know Chronos vary also. Was this done in performance and not comfort?

Correct. Performance. We shot it in Comfort and indeed lost 10 ft.

My 70lb sr6 feels like 60lbs compared to other bows I've shot. It's not rough at all. Best rated 350+ fps bow draw cycle of all time

why do you need 80lbs? lol that being said the Hoyt Rx3 will do an 80lber on custom order ;)

Would also like to see some heavier draw weighs.

I feel the same about paying $30,000-$40,000 for a 4x4 pickup truck, but nowadays if you're going to buy good hunting equipment the checkbook will feel the thunder!
