2022 Bowtech Revolt X80 Bow Review by Mike's Archery

[@arc-lefteye7693]

Another great review guys... keep them coming

[@billmcstay194]

Excellent review, thanks!

[@RWTupper]

Were you testing bow performance on COMFORT or PERFORMANCE setting?

[@YoureSoVane]

Comfort. You'd see him pull over the hump if he was in performance

[@sheyanderson4371]

The way he described the draw, I would assume it was on comfort. I have asked a few shops in my area and say they come in set to comfort from Bowtech. Pretty good speed for comfort and owning a Revolt X, I can attest that in comfort, 70#'s feels like you are pulling a 60lb bow, so I would hope the same goes with 80# limbs.

[@TooLucky406]

Appreciate all the reviews.... but Bowtech drop the ball on this....how's is an 80lb limb only 340fps....my Insanity @27", 400gr, 70lb shoots 298-300fps. No need more strained at 80lb

Was this tested in Performance or Comfort?

[@aaronhall765]

Why in the world would you even shoot a 350 grain arrow out of 80#'s? Under 5 grains a pound. Dry 🔥

Beat me to it

[@AndrewCawley]

And me😂

[@jerrodvangilder5156]

Only a touch sketchy.....

[@raywarner4704]

Pretty creative way to get rid of all the Revolt X risers that Bowtech must have had in stock.

[@YoureSoVane]

Take Revolt X riser and cams, but use Reckoning 38 limbs? You get about 80# draw. The more you know.

[@raywarner4704]

@@YoureSoVane I want a Revolt X with SS cams...

[@YoureSoVane]

@@raywarner4704 I gotta check, but I think SS cams will add draw weight. The limb deflection chart shows how much they move for the draw cycle, and I'm pretty sure the SS cams deflect limbs more.

[@justinmcclaughry2574]

Soo could a guy swap limbs from a 70lb RevoltX?

[@dennisdallege2628]

why wouldn't you just buy a 70 Revolt X?

[@kcb142]

@@dennisdallege2628 he clearly already has a 70lber and wants 80lbs 😂

[@YoureSoVane]

Yes. You could also just buy the Reckoning 38 limbs, which would also do the same thing. I'm 99% sure they're the same limbs.

[@jordanpowell228]

Im first for the first time.

[@timbow50]

Unless you're going to Africa why in the world would one want to prematurely wear out their joints shooting 80#'s? To me it's totally nuts. Everyone knows even 50#'s will blow an arrow thru an elk and 60 to 70 is a no brainer. Seems there are more and more 80# bow limbs available nowadays. 👍👍

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

Lots more of us are hunting wild hogs with our bows. I have been hunting both elk and hogs for years. Believe me, A hog is a whole lot tougher than an elk. I've seen arrows out of 70lb bows bounce off a hog's shoulder lol.

[@brandonsikes6715]

If you can shoot it comfortably there's no reason to think it will cause premature wear on your joints.

[@kcMan7938]

If you need 80#’s , then why not choose a crossbow that has more # to offer ,and safer on your body . How many people can pull back an 80# bow shooting 30 + arrows when practicing ,and sighting in ? I’m 64 yrs old and shoot 60lbs since I was in my early 40’s . Now Shooting bowtech sr350 , and Diamond deploy Sb . Trying to put off buying a crossbow as long as I can because a compound is so much fun to shoot .

[@itismylifesogoforit]

I found Bowtech bows are not fast. My RX5 80lbs 28dl, shoots 500gn arrow at 284fps

[@suzgabverdugo933]

No thanks bowtech, My rx5 & Mathews v3 31 are in the same speed range with a heavier arrow 299 fps 70lbs 420 gr arrow.
