2022 Bowtech Revolt X80 First Looks with MFJJ!!

[@kevinarnott9484]

Thank you for all your time you put into these videos, I have learned a lot from you and the Elk shape channel

[@sheyanderson4371]

Love the videos, but would also like to see speed tests with a typical setup added in. Maybe a 28" draw, not necessarily fully tuned, but at least shooting straight-ish out of the bows and add a 450g and 550g arrow through the chrono as well. I think many in the community would be surprised to see how bows change in both speed and feel with different setups than just grabbed off the rack. Keep up the great work!

[@suprtrkr82]

I like that you put it on the performance setting, almost no one does that

[@nightbowhunter54]

I’m been waiting that reveiw for so long! Thank you very much! First bowtech in 80limbs in many years! Hope that thing continue in the future and next year every bow have a 80limb option! Then i will be back to bowtech for sure! Thanks again!

[@shawnwilson5789]

I can’t wait to see the review on the new hamskea rest.

[@krisaunedi4920]

Cool vlog Josh on the Bowtech there. I can really see that when you had put it on performance mode it really had to pull a little harder but you did it and I really enjoyed it also. Right on. I also wanted to say Josh I enjoyed this whole year of your vlogs and hoping to see more in the new year. Josh have a wonderful Happy New Year 2022!!

[@AppalachianBowhunter]

Love the reviews brother! Now I’m curious how an absolute legend such as yourself sets up your new hunting bows every year.

[@jjjetplane556]

If it’s possible can you also start showing the bow speed with shorter draw lengths, ? Maybe IBO draw length and min draw length ? I’m a 27.5 so speed matters a lot .

[@Spazz-x85]

Great video. I shot this and a lift 33 today. Both 80 lb with a 31" draw. I like them both. Does anyone have any pros and cons I should consider before making my decision? Thank you.

[@EDHBowman]

Happy new year’s to MFJJ and the SVA crew…

[@jons7e]

The Revolt X was a winner. I'm not sure Bowtech has released a real replacement this year for that bow.

[@kyleware2520]

Seemed to be bummed, and so am I. What’s the point of the weight without the extra speed

[@toddlymburner5783]

Exactly!!!!! 70 pound bows are faster!! No point to this bow what so ever!

[@WM-jy9dz]

the point is it gets you more KE and momentum - could be a benefit for hunters who are targeting wales, T-Rex etc...

[@toddlymburner5783]

@@WM-jy9dz if it’s slower it’s not getting more Kenetic energy! 70 pound bows shoot faster! I shoot an 80 pound bow and with a 26 inch draw, 450 grain arrow and I get 278 FPS. Point being this 80 pound bow will be out performed by 70 pound bows. No point to buying this bow.

[@jwild5360]

@@toddlymburner5783 the bow is only slower bc the arrow weight went up 50 grains for ibo testing purposes. You guys really don’t have a clue in these archery comment sections. This is a 345fps ibo bow idc how u cut and slice it. This bow is no different than the rx7. No different than v3 x. Or any of the rest of them. You just have to actually understand what’s going on. The weight went up 10 pounds but the arrow also went up 50 grains. In this case 53. That’s why the speeds look just like the 70 pound bows that are tested with a 350 grain arrow. If he tested this how with 80lb limbs and 350 grains he would no longer be inside IBO parameters.

[@toddlymburner5783]

@@jwild5360 IBO is pulling 5 grains per pound, which I have also done. The Bowtechs are not even close at 350 grains, 70 pounds, 30 inches or shooting a arrow at 5 grains per pound (IBO) they are way under IBO speeds, they are WAY under Mathews, Hoyt etc… heck I shot my Hoyt RX4 at 26 inch draw 80 pounds 400 grain arrow and got 296 FPS, I did the same with the Bowtech and got 280 FPS. Sorry dude no matter what comparison you use the Bowtechs suck at speed!

[@joemag543]

Always enjoy watching your bow reviews. Could you do one for the best youth/beginner bows? I want to get my 12 year old son a bow that he can grow into. Like a diamond edge 320 or a bowtech amplify. One of those bows with a large poundage and draw length adjustment.

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

I've bought 3 diamond edge 305 & 320 bows for my son, girlfriend & nephew - All needed slight tuning of strings but all had good cam lean from the box.... Make sure the arrow don't come out of the whisker biscuit during the draw because it's cheaper than the original WB.... Other than that they've been good to go... For the $,,, Parker & Bear bows always did good too

[@aaronhall765]

Happy new year.

[@scottrodolf1316]

Can you put 80lb limbs on a older revolt x

[@gregbaldacci6956]

Do have any reviews of Elite bows?

[@jacobjones4453]

Could you shoot a 550 grain arrow I shoot 555 out of my Hoyt ultra I would just like to see and compare

[@kieranelson6416]

can you test a Matthews prima at 27 draw length and 60lb draw weight

[@kenmccann7528]

MFJJ can you do a review of you strings vs factory strings? ie speed and stretch?

[@grantgarver7520]

should do a video on mechanical vs fixed blade broadheads

[@Pnw_fatguy_gear]

How's this pull compared to a mathews on 75lb mods?

[@montanaoutdoors6217]

Anybody put the revolt x80 up against a prime nexus 4 with 80lb limbs? I'm interested in both

[@michaelabercrombie5744]

I felt the pain just watching you pull 80lbs over and over again 😂

[@YoureSoVane]

That's a very heavy helical for a whisker biscuit. I wouldn't run a helical through one at all.

[@chadeastman4832]

Can I order the bracket for a light for a black gold sight from you

[@sammooney2232]

Can you help me understand why you would use 80 limbs if there is a faster shooting bowtech with 70 lb limbs...

[@toddlymburner5783]

You nailed it!! Bowtech shit the bed this year and most 70 pound bows will shoot faster than this 80 pound bow! My other 80 pound bows blow this out of the water. It’s not just this bow the SR 350 is almost 30 FPS slow as well

[@toddlymburner5783]

@@saulgood6190 im pretty sure it’s a 400 grain arrow for a 80 pound bow

[@toddlymburner5783]

@@saulgood6190 ok, you can do the math and compare. He always shoots a 350 grain arrow for the 70 pound bows and a 400 grain arrow for the 80 pounds. I shoot 80 pound bows and this Bowtech 80 pound bow is slow! I have 75 pound bows that out shoot it and some 70 pound bows shoot similar speeds with the same arrow weight

[@critter852004]

I wish they made all their models with 80 lbs limbs

[@bryanparryhunter]

Question for anyone that knows, friend has a revolt x. Could they just order revoltx80 limbs and cams to turn their revolt x into an 80 lb bow? Or did they change the limbs pocket?

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

I don't know why you would waste the money. This bow is really under-performing with the 80lb limbs.

[@sheyanderson4371]

I have a Revolt X and wondered the same thing. I contacted Bowtech directly and they said the new limb pockets are different and the limbs are not compatible with original Revolt X. That's a bummer and I would hope that reasoning is for engineering purposes and not just a business purpose to keep current Revolt X customers from upgrading just limbs.

[@Bowhunterohio]

Does anyone know exactly how these bow companies test their bows on speed. I just find it strange that every company lists a higher FPS then what the tests come out to. All bow companies. I don’t see these companies wanting to lie about what the actual FPS is on their bows. So it would be nice to find out how they come up with their FPS. In that case if it’s different then we have to wonder who’s test is more accurate.

[@michaelmangino9819]

Nice bow. I have a sr6 and solution. Hey can you hook me up in a shrewd RevX 8in stab?

[@dieselpusher2548]

What's that sound in background sounds like a gerbil on a wheel

[@240gtrz]

It’s a gerbil on a wheel.

[@paulcrave3112]

Get that speed back up with your heavy arrows.

[@leviwierenga7394]

remember that this was shot at 5 grains per pound. 80lbs = 400gr. 70lbs =350gr. So this bow is shooting the same speeds as a 70 lbs bow but doing it with a heavier arrow. Hence the 80lb limbs.

[@toddlymburner5783]

I fortunately I shoot other 80 pound bows and this bow is silly slow!!

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

Great review as always. I have been waiting for a review on this bow. Bowtech used to make my favorite bows, I don't know what the hell happened this year. They must have hired Joe Biden to design their bows. We can't tell if their engineers are incompetent or their marketing people are crooks. They should just name all their new bows, "The Minus Twenty".

[@toddlymburner5783]

They really shit the bed this year!! All their bows are horribly slow

[@aaronhall765]

The Minus Twenty..... I'm dying 🤣 lol 😆 🤣 😂

[@jwild5360]

They technically are not slow of IBO listed numbers. He just isn’t testing it under the parameters that bowtech likely is.

[@toddlymburner5783]

@@jwild5360 no they are slow bows!! Look at the speeds of the SR350, Revolt XL that are tested on online reviews at 30 inches and 70 pounds with a 350 grain arrow. They are slow! Really slow compared to all the other bows from different manufacturers from this year! I have 80 pound bows from other manufacturers and I’m getting comparable speeds with a 26 inch draw that the Bowtechs are getting at 30 inch draws! When I put my Hoyt to a 30 inch draw just to compare it against the Bowtech I’m getting 33 FPS faster!

[@jwild5360]

@@toddlymburner5783 ibo is NOT 30 inches 70 pounds and 350 grain arrow. This bow will make its advertised speeds of 345 when tested under ibo parameters

[@blakeperkins9288]

Bow tech is so bad this year. I did some testing I shot an 80 pound Hoyt Ventom 33 with a 355 arrow and shot 340 fps. So you can literally pick any other bow on the market open and be better and more efficient than The BowTech

[@blakeperkins9288]

It is what, it is🤷‍♂️

[@toddlymburner5783]

Yup!! I find it crazy and yet hysterical how many Bowtech guys are making attempts to defend this years offerings! This year Bowtech shit the bed! Most 70 pound bows will outshoot this 80 pound bow and the SR 350 is almost 30 FPS slow!

[@toddlymburner5783]

@Tprent94 _ your not understanding! When I shoot all the 80 pounds bows against each other with the same arrow weight 400-450 grains the Bowtech is ridiculously slower than the other 80 pound bows!

[@hunteradamson5024]

@BOWHUNTER that may be true. But my 80lb PSE will shot a 405gr arrow at 352fps this thing is slow.
