- The Ultimate in-depth review and breakdown of the CORE SR from Bowtech. This review includes full check into the technical specifications, dynamic specifications, features, speeds and shooting performance of the 2024 Bowtech CORE SR.
Would love to see the core ss bowtech next. Great vid
Thank you! The Core SS is absolutely on the list - stay tuned.
Your reviews are about the best I’ve seen !
Thank you for the encouragement! We're trying hard to be as objective and detailed as we can - so many good bows this year!
Keep the reviews coming! Keeping it to straight measurements, draw force curve and facts, which I appreciate. The microphone definitely helps the audio. Keep it up!
Thank you for the comment and encouragement! We're working to improve the production quality each time. We'll be releasing another review later today for one of the most exciting bows this year - we got really interesting results from testing!
Top-end review out the gate, you have my sub now, surprised you are not sky rocketing in subs yet...
Appreciate the vote of confidence! I'm super grateful for anyone that enjoys the videos and I am going to just keep making the best reviews that I can :)
GREAT Vid, mate!! Thank you very much for all your effort showing and mentioning all the data and informations! To me personally, the Bowtech and Darton compoundbows are very...very awesome bows. Have a nice day and kindest regards.
so glad i stumbled on this, your review is great! and very detailed thank you for your effort!
So nice of you to say so - it is a real passion project!
Stay tuned, I hope to be reviewing at least 8-9 more hunting bows in the next several weeks - including some more rare/boutique brands!
Best bow review i've seen. Keep at it. Only thing you should change is testing speeds for speed and comfort on the bows that offer it. Subbed!
Very much appreciate the feedback! I might consider shooting the performance mod before I do a "review of reviews" at the end.
Outstanding review bud! Subscribed and looking forward to more of your content.
Thanks for the kind words - more reviews coming the next couple of weeks!
nice.. very clean review...keep it up..
Thank you for the comment and support! Another bow review coming tonight.
Great reviews man! Can you do one on the SS?
The bow weight is without the dampeners.
Perhaps that is true - and we really appreciate the feedback! The dampers do come installed from the factory, and I have not seen anyone remove them for real world use. Ultimately, we're attempting to create "real world" comparisons of all of these bows, including the vibration dampening from the factory.
I've always been a big Bowtech fan up until recently for reasons I won't go into. I've moved onto Bear Archery having bought my very first Bear - the Whitetail Maxx - at a cost that's HALF of what Bowtech bows cost. The bow also tuned up perfectly without my arrow pointing out to the left away from the riser (like my Solution SS does). My next Bear bow is going to be the Alaskan XT, with a 33" axle-to-axle, a 6.25" brace height, and a 25" to 30" draw length range. It's rated at 335 FPS, but I'm pretty sure that real speeds would be pretty close to that Core SR, due to Bowtech padding their numbers constantly. I should be getting my Alaskan XT in the next few weeks. Again, this bow is $560 - less than half the price of a Bowtech.
No question about it - there are a lot of good bows on the market these days. It's awesome to hear that you've tried different brands and found one you love. I'd love to include the Alaskan XT in the test this year!
The SR speed in performance is 340fps. The XT is around 326fps from tests I've seen.
@@deejaymutleyyou're also spending more than double the money for a 10% increase in speed. Notice I said speed, not performance. Tim Connor is taking his Alaskan XT to TAC next month because it beat out his Core SS, and Darton Consequence. AND, it beat them both even with a bad cam bearing,, which he found out in his next video. I'd rather spend a few bucks on a new cam bearing, than $200 on a new cam (if any bearing in the Bowtech goes bad, that's what you'll be doing). I'll stick to my Alaskan XT.
@@l.i.archer5379 The Alaskan XT is a great bow for it's price, but it is not at the level of an SR no matter how you spin it. If you shoot it well and shoot it better than flagship bows, that is awesome and a huge plus for you. That is no reason to talk down another bow, especially one that has been very well reviewed across the board and well liked by many shooters.
@@sheyanderson4371 I can talk any way I want about any bow as I've worked on practically all of them and know how they tune amd shoot. You're overpaying for "flagship" bows that don't shoot much better than Bear's midrange bows.
prime rvx 34 please!
That bow is 100% on the list!
When the axle to axle is long as in this case - it requires twisting the string to generate the 33 axle to axle measurement. In your example the brace height would have met the correct measurement. Again these are production bows…with Bowtech most are shipped right on the money to the dealer. 🎯🎯🎯
I completely agree! I am finding that all the bows we've received so far are running a tad long. That said, I need to be fair and measure these brand new bows as they come from the factory. We've also found some examples where the brace height is exactly right and the ATA is still a bit long.
@@ApexArchery well I kindly disagree…I work on new bows daily…first thing I check is axle to axle length..if it’s out I bring it into spec..the longer it is from its length the slower it will perform…as a result you end up with a bow that doesn’t match what specs they should represent
@@perryrusso3764 I don't think we disagree at all! I agree completely that, ideally, all of these bows would come from the factory at exact spec - and if they are not in spec it makes sense to add a cable twist to get them there. Ultimately, every bow we've tested so far has been out of spec on ATA by about 1/8".
@@ApexArchery I believe manufacturers leave it up to their dealers to check…hunting bows come to the dealers in close proximity to their engineered specs…but target bows pretty much are correct when we receive them…most customers would never know the difference and most dealers don’t paper tune either…that’s a shame…as archery prices increase dealers must maximize profits. The average customer has no clue on tuning a bow to putting on a DLoop…GOOD LUCK
Very cool videos, I would be curious what would happen to the draw force curve if you move the mod forward a half inch.
This changes the letoff, I run mine (on a older bow) a little over half an inch shorter than my draw stop, this increases holding weight and shortens the valley but I also feel like it makes the performance side of the mod less harsh. But I may just be use to the draw cycle now.
I've definitely seen people in various forums discuss tinkering with the mod position! I would be curious as well...
What was the DL set for? I’ve heard the Core SR is noticeably smoother with lower than max DL.
We are testing all bows at ATA specs - 30", 70# draw peak (verified!) and the lowest let off available.
What are you using to generate draw force curves?
