2018 Bowtech Realm X review Part 1

[@danhardy107]

Best reviews on iTunes. Facts no bull shit. Realm x on its way

[@run2september23]

Appreciate your review, I have a Rein 6 that I shoot on comfort mode because of the lack of valley and draw cycle on performance. I was interested to see if the Realm series was going to be the same type of thing. I do notice my R6 is more finicky than my old Insanity CPX in that i have to be on my game to be consistent though, over-all I like the R6 a lot, BUT as always I'm looking for what's new and exciting so I'll be shooting the Realm series here soon.

The realm x l shot had no vibration and was absolutely dead in the hand and the grip felt way better than the reign 6. Out of all the bows l shot the realm x for me performed and felt the best. The composite limb pocket weight to strength ratio exceeded aluminum's performance that's why there engineer's used it. The bowtech rep took time to answer all of my questions. Mine is on its way.

Rich, It is awesome that you found the right bow for you. Much like nice shotguns feel is so important and can be so different from one person to another. The Realm X is a great bow. Thank you for watching the review.

Another great video Adam. I tried the Realm and didn't care for the draw. It seem pretty aggressive. The worst part was the grip. I didn't like the indentation. Not sure why they did that. It's either a gimmick or weight saving strategy. Either way, no bueno.

I feel like calling the pocket simply polymer is deceptive. It's not the same type of polymer that's used in many mid-priced bows. Bowtech says "The body of the CP Dual Lock is made of a specialty engineered composite. It is a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) material that has a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum. This means the pockets could be designed stronger and lighter than an equivalent aluminum part."

True, I don't think there will ever be an issue with those pockets but I do think I had to mention it because of the responses on the threads on different online forums. Maybe I will go more in depth on the pockets on the last part (part 3) of the video review.

Outdoor Analytics definitely worth mentioning, and I’m very glad you did. I work with polymers on a everyday basis. Saying a specific polymer “has a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum” is very deceptive. Silk excreted from the common arachnid “has a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio” than polymer or aluminum. Would that make silk the perfect material for a limb pocket? Of course not. There is no question that the actual polymer (thickness and all) used on the Bowtech limb pocket will inherently have more pliability and an aptitude to degrade faster over time than say the actual aluminum limb pocket on the Triax bow. Composites have their strengths when it comes to saving weight or reducing felt vibration, but as a pivot point for a highly stressed limb, I’d say definitely not. They should have gone with a metal like aluminum. In my estimation I’d say it was a weight saving and potentially a cost saving feature.

My Glock 17 is plastic I've had for over 20 years and THOUSANDS of shots no problem. ;)

Excellent articulation of the core values regarding material longevity and other conditions regarding design decisions.
