Don’t get me wrong, I love the RX7 Ultra. I just really liked the Experience too, but you start getting nervous taking a 10 year old bow on a hunt that cost $1000 for the tag. Shot new bows the year prior, and nothing felt great. Did the same last year, and the Hoyt just felt right. Bows are kind of like hunting boots. They’re real personal.
There have been some issues with serving separation where the cable goes around the hub of the cams on the SS34. It is a great shooting bow, but just be aware they may have some kinks to work out with the new cam design.
I shot the Prime RevX 6 today and I think it's going to be the one I buy. It really has a great feel. I shot about 6 different bows and I liked it the most. It was not even on my radar really as I was planning on going with a Matthew's - really nice shooting bow!
Honestly, I don't even want to shoot my Elite Kure anymore, and I loved that bow until I got the Revex 4. I am now pondering how to end up with another Revex 4 without profusely bleeding cash lol.
This was 100% what just recently happened to me. I currently shoot (and love) my v3x33. Came from a Bowtech revolt x. I enjoyed my revolt x, had a great smooth cycle, good hold and I shot it well, and it is now my backup bow. I changed because the riser length of the v3x was much longer and created a more stable hold for me. But at the time I felt the draw cycle of the mathews was just a little step backward. Felt "stiff". I shot it 70lbs 85% for awhile then tried 65lbs 80% mods and it made a big difference. The 80% mods smoothed the transition into the valley (at least for my perception.) I have 75lb 80% mods and I'm going to pick up 70lb 80% mods as well.
Nothing to report really. I still like the Revex 6 and it shoots great - haven't been able to get a turkey in range yet to test it out!
If you get a chance to shoot the Revex 4, give it a go. It's a great shooting bow. I have the Revex 2 now, and I like it, but it's definitely stiffer to draw at the same poundage.
Quoting this for emphasis. Go shoot a bunch of bows and see which one you like best. It seems lie, unless it is really like your current bow most guys find out the bow they like best wasn't #1 on their list or even on their radar screen.
I had a similar thought process until my carbon levitate exploded. Back to my 2013 elite hunter for this season. This bow has been fantastic. I have not shot much that has made me want to switch, until the levitate… this elite has been very reliable and has lived it’s life above 82lbs for 10 years. 2 annual trips to the archery shop for tune ups/ occasional string.
I'd still be shooting my experience too if the limbs didn't break twice already haha
