I'm excited to share the results of my highly anticipated 2024 Head to Head Bow Test! This year, I put five top-notch bows to the ultimate test: the ELITE ETHOS, HOYT ALPHA X, PSE MACH 30 DS, BOWTECH CORE SR, and the PRIME RVX. I've thoroughly evaluated these bows in six crucial categories to bring you an in-depth comparison that will help you choose the best bow for your needs. (Mathews, Obsession, Xpedition, and Gearhead were reached out to but their bows did not show up in time to be included in this specific test)
Here’s a sneak peek at what I tested:
1. Out of the Box Bow Weight - I checked the weight of each bow straight out of the box, giving you a clear idea of what you'll be handling in the field.
2. Draw Cycle Discussion - I analyzed the draw cycle of each bow, discussing the smoothness and consistency to find out which one stands out.
3. Back Wall - A solid back wall is crucial for consistent shots. I evaluated how each bow feels at full draw.
4. Sound Test - I measured the noise level of each bow upon release, crucial for those stealthy hunts.
5. Arrow Speed - Speed is a significant factor for many archers. I tested arrow speeds at different draw lengths to see how each bow performs.
6. Shootability - Ultimately, shootability can make or break a bow. I tested how each bow feels and performs in real-world shooting scenarios at various distances.
My video review, launching around June 1st, will dive deep into these tests and provide you with detailed insights and conclusions. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current setup or curious about the latest gear, this video will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Stay tuned, mark your calendars, and be ready to join the discussion once the video goes live. Check out the detailed forum post and join the conversation here: [2024 Head to Head Bow Test on Rokslide](rokslide.com/f...)
Happy shooting,
Zach Herold - Adventure Off Script

Long story short, pick the bow that feels the best and practice like crazy. Modern bows can outshoot most anyone.

@Rokslide 4 месяца назад

Can’t argue with that

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

So true! They are all AWESOME some just perform better for certain people!

@shane4176 Месяц назад

Except the phase 4 it sucks.

@Rokslide Месяц назад

@@shane4176 be specific. What sucks about it?

@shane4176 Месяц назад

@Rokslide I shot a few different bows today at a local archery shop. I didn't say one way or the other initially. I talked to 3 different guys that owned the phase 4. All had the exact same comments about it. It's a very hard bow to hold on target. I do not know why that is? It's also very hard to tune fixed heads with. Again I don't know why that is. Had a bowtech and an older Prime last year. Both held steady on target much easier. Both tuned to my heads easily. In saying that the bow doesn't actually suck. It looks good it feels good has a nice weight. But of all the bows I've owned over several years I like it the least by a large margin. I'm sure some guys shoot theirs very well and love it. It just isn't for me that's all. Sucks is maybe a bit harsh haha. Just spending that much and it being so underwhelming is a bit of a bummer.

best test I have seen on RU-vid

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

Thank you I appreciate that. A lot of effort goes into it!

@GardenArcher7625 3 месяца назад

It is not the best bow in this video, but I like my Hoyt Alpha X 30 very much.. (Best group by the way..)

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

It was a great shooting bow thats for sure!

Nice review man!!! I love to send my PSE DNA In for that review I ain’t hating I just been looking to upgrade from it but year after year I just keep it and ordering new strings and cables from ABB I can’t find anything faster or lighter and more dead in the hand is the DNA the greatest bow ever built? I am all in for a new bow every year but I can’t find anything better

@southernoutdoors1862 4 месяца назад

I been begging for someone to sell me a new bow!!! PSE Mach 30 peaked my interest as well as the lift 29.5

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

Hey thank you! It was a ton of work but I strive to provide helpful information! The Mach 30 DS was pretty sweet. As for the LIFT, it didn't show up in time!

I’m guessing that ethos was on the performance mod? Shot that bow earlier this year and it’s an absolute shooter!

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

Just curious, which portion of the test indicated to you that it wasn't an absolute shooter?

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

I appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching! I was fortunate enough to hunt with the the Alpha X in 2023 and shot a buck with it! I will be hunting with the other bows this upcoming season!

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for checking it out!

@maxacole 3 месяца назад

Interested in how the Mathews compares, why was it excluded?

@Rokslide 3 месяца назад

Everyone’s invited to these, but for various reasons some manufactures choose not to participate. Most of the time it has to do with timing. If you go on Rokslide.com you will see multiple reviews on Matthews and they perform very well

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

Hey Max thanks for checking out the video! Mathews was going to participate, but there was a deadline on when the bows needed to arrive by and Mathews didn't show up in that time frame. It did finally show up and I will be doing a review on it on my personal page.

@usmcmsgt5487 Месяц назад

I want to get the hybrid-ish Elite Exalt-35 basically because I shoot way more targets than any game I may hunt.

@gabrielhouston5660 4 месяца назад

Curious why Mathews didn’t get tested? Great video!! Lots of cool stuff to think about.

@Rokslide 4 месяца назад

We never leave anyone out on purpose. Just depends on who’s willing to send a bow when we’re ready to do the testing. Super happy with Matthews and many of our members will agree. They just didn’t send a bow for this test.

@adventureoffscript 3 месяца назад

The Mathews bow did not show up in time to be test. As of this comment, it still has not arrived. When it does, I will do an individual bow review.

@stick__shooter Месяц назад

Very interesting that they were all so close to each other in almost every category, except the Mach being lighter/louder and the SR being faster (in performance).

@Rokslide Месяц назад

the bow industry is very competetive. thanks for the watch

@tsi-rocket4144 2 месяца назад

Left out elites SET which allows easy tuning along with 1/4" draw adjustments, and the cable guard can be adjusted with the LTR. Small detail left out to boost other bows? Elite offers more tuning options than any other bow period. If SET doesn't get it done for you the cams can still be shimmed. SET=modified yoke tune, Deadlock=easy cam shimming. I just don't feel you described the ethos nearly as well as the other bows, aside from that it this was an excellent bow review.

@Rokslide 2 месяца назад

"...left out to boost other bows?" Hardly! We don't do it that way at rokslide-- never have, never will. These reviews can't possibly touch on every feature or they'd be so long all the commenters would complain about that instead. We thoroughly covered Elite's SET technology at the full review (written by a Rokslide member) linked below. Here's that review: www.rokslide.com/elite-era-bow-review/

@tsi-rocket4144 2 месяца назад

@@Rokslide But you made sure to touch on hoyts 1/4" draw adjustments being a big advantage and stopped to cover deadlock? Could have easily covered SET, LTR and 1/4" draw lengths in 30 seconds and referred to your review for more info? At the same time to be fair you didn't cover the fancy sight/rest mounting options available from about everyone but elite. Be great to cover things quick and refer to your individual bow reviews and avoid wasting time on a review like this. Elite for sure lacks in the mounting of accessories not arguing that. Still a great condensed video and more than anything I appreciate your response!

@Rokslide 2 месяца назад

@@tsi-rocket4144 I don’t think you quite understand how Rokslide works. We take reviews from members and staff, that way we can cover more reviews and members have a chance to share their experiences too. It’s also the most unbiased way to do reviews. When you have that diverse of a pool of writers, there is no way we’re gonna, cover everything you’re talking about in every review. It’s not like we have a Monday morning board meeting and get everybody together to figure out what they’re gonna cover, not cover, etc, doesn’t work that way. If you look at the written review I sent you it’s also linked to another elite review that talks about SET technology. we’ve covered it plenty and if you look at all the reviews as a whole, you’ll see we’re very fair. We just don’t like being accused of hiding anything to promote other bows. Completely unfair statement. And looking at the feedback on this review, It doesn’t look like anybody thinks we’re wasting time.
