Trailblazer's Big boy bow.

[trailblazer75]

So I bit the bullet and bought a nice new bowtech. I went with the Revolt X80 because I've been pulling 76 lbs for a couple months on an old insanity. If you've ever shot the insanity you know that the draw cycle is pretty dang harsh.

The revolt is the exact opposite. Even in performance mode it feels like I'm drawing a heavy 70 lb bow but with a very manageable hump and a definite nice valley.

The IBO for this new bow is 340, so significantly slower than what I'm used to. BUT it is shooting my 530 grain arrow an average of 290FPS.

I went with a nock on elevate rest, quivalizer, MBG slider that I threw my 3 pin housing on.

The bow is VERY well balanced. Holding weight is absurdly nice and I feel no shock at the shot. It probably weight 6 lbs or more but I don't really notice it much.

The new bowtechs shot great! Didn’t shoot the x80 because I’m not man enough haha I shot the 350 and for a speed bow it shot awesome!

Man honestly, I think the X80 and the SR350 were interchangeable for me. I just wanted 80 lbs cause I can. It doesn't feel like drawing 80 lbs to me. I am SURE you could draw it with ease.

I wanna try the Solution SD in the worst way! A 50 - 60 pounder.

It's not a "big boy bow". Those days are over for me...

I'm hoping to keep my shoulders strong and happy for at least another 15 years. We'll see.

No chance you could post speed specs of arrow weight and the like. Just curious. Thanks either way!

I've only shot it with 3-4 different arrows that are all the same weight at 530 grains and roughly 290 a second. It was like 292, 289, 290 and 290. So I just judged it around 290.

Stay away from dirtbikes!

I never touch the things but the gym, heavy bows and jiujitsu have done their own things. Lol. Plus general degradation due to military service. I figure 15 years is REAL optimistic.

Yeah but the real question is how does that fancy pants arrow rocket zing a pointy stick with a bow blind hanging off the side of it?

I have not tried it. YET. But I will. I'm considering making the bow blind exclusive to my recurve...which I need to build arrows for!

Right on. Don't cut yourself short. Need another? I'll send another!

This quivalizer kind of cramps my style when it comes to running a blind. Now if you found a way to make on that I could bolt straight to the riser.......
