Great review, nice to see something not biased. Would be interested in a review of the Athens Vista 33 and the Xpedition bows once all officially drop.
I really value your reviews. I think it would be very valuable since you find deviations with specs to also check the draw length on a draw board since that plays a role while chronoing them. Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
Josh your pretty much the only guy I believe on RUclips!..honest reviews from a guy that knows what the heck he’s talking about !!!keep up the good work my man!!
I just watched your video on giving a detailed breakdown about the bow spec's, yeah the physical details are what they are, but watching you go through the shooting of the given arrow, between what the factory details are and as compared to what you are showing, I love your attitude towards how your explaining THE DETAILS, the science of archery really isn't that hard to figure out once you learn the function of the compound bow, everyone has a different body frame and their gonna get different numbers, everyone just to understand one very important thing, they have to learn how to drive, but we still know there are people who can't drive a straight line,
MFJJ you are awesome!! Thanks for putting these videos. Keep up the great work. I really want to see a review on dialed archery new bow sight. When they come in later this year. Thanks
Thanks for clarifying the whisker biscuit fps question I had, don’t mean any harm, just a thought. Love the content, helping me make my decision for my new bow 👊🏼👍🏼
Another right to the point review 👍🏽 but I’m really hoping something is off with the chronograph because every bow is so slow. It’s almost like the company’s have a bet to see how much they can fudge the numbers before customers put their foot down.
Hey MFJJ, really love the videos!!! I am new to bow hunting and archery in general. I recently purchased a budget-friendly Mission (by Matthews) Switch Bow. I understand this is very much a budget bow compared to many of the higher end bows you feature in your videos. Because of this, I was curious if you would consider making a video that reviews these budget bows, but that also compares the feature and refinement differences between a flagship and a budget bow. To a newbie like me, I really don't know what advantages a bow that is 2, 3 or 4 times the cost of a budget bow provides (though I am sure they are superior in many ways, but just don't know). Thanks for considering this request, and please keep the great content coming.
You put out a lot of very good information and its strait up and no BS. I shoot the Revolt and Bowtech is my choice for what i will shoot I had been out of archery since the 1990 the last bow that I had shot was a Martin Onza spelling is not correct im sure I went into the Pro Shop with my son and down the rabbit hole i went in 2020 with the Revolt I shot the Mathews VXR and the Hoyt RX 4 and out of the 3 the Revolt was the one that felt the best for myself. I do not think that a person can go wrong with any on of the 3 that I shot ever one of them are of top quality but they need to shoot them and find out for them self which is the one that works for them you put out top quality info keep that pushing forward.
This bow is much more Solution looking then the Sr6. I have both. What I didn't like about this Sr350 was the Draw is very stiff on performance. And it's smoother but still not as smooth as the Solution. They all 3 share the same exact Riser. Only diff from Solution to SR350 was 33in vs 32in and the SR350 has less parralel limbs.. That's where the 33in. ATA comes in... Each limb is .5inch longer on each side the limbs. Nice now but Solution is by far the better bow.. I'm getting the Twin Turbo on tues, and that Sucker is super Smooth. I can't wait to get it..
As always, great review. Would you be able to chrono the bows for us t-rex arm archers (24.5-25" dl)? Would also like an Athens bow review. Thanks again for all the great info!
Thanks for the reviews! They help me a lot being a somewhat new archer as far as what’s out there and how it runs. Thanks again! Was curious on your thought on the new dialed archery sight that is coming out this summer?
I'd like to hear more about how different bows compare on ease of adjustability. By the way, Bowtech is supposedly reworking the mod on their SR350 to get more fps out of the bow (per Mike's Archery 7' 46" minute/second mark).
Thanks. I bought a realm ss this year. I already own a speed bow. Ill buy a new one in 2023. I think I'll skip this year and just stick with the equipment I own. Thanks for keeping me informed, bastards woulda got me with false advertising and i woulda been pissed.
Cool vlog Josh. I was really surprise on those numbers I would of thought better but what can you do. The hump in the end of the draw cycle would drive me crazy so that would be a no no for me. Can you tell me will you be doing a review on the Hoyt Twin Turbo and regular RX7 when you get them in I would love to see those bows in action. Cool Josh have a great day!!!
good and honest and if smooth that is enough speed as hunting i am out of date a bit i always used 5 inch fletching.. as crushed years ago getting back in the game . last new bow was a mathews feather max that was the bow in 1999 . back then it was hoyt or mathews .. them bowtech are looking good
Love your reviews. Could you add a section where you draw the bow with a scale to see if its 70lbs or over/under. Some bows comes off specs which may result in variation of performance. Seeing this bow ATA longer than spec might need some cable twisting
Some of these SR350’s are coming in 2 to 3lbs under. My 60lb Realm X was 57lbs maxed out. They appear to be slow when compared to bows that are 5lbs over peak weight and half inch long on draw.
Would be interesting if you did a test with all the bows at the high end of the IBO draw weight tolerance (+-2lbs) to see how close the bows are then to their rating. See how much closer to "honest" they are at that rating.
Love ya, MFJJ. BT has a way to morph other models into new ones with a change or two. Only thing I like about the 350 is the 33" ATA....but in the end doesn't warrant flipping my Reckoning 35 @70. Come on BT...we're waiting for that game changer.
If you have a long DL, check out the Revolt XL. I shot it at 72# and 31.5" DL and it is by far the smoothest draw cycle I have felt in 36 years of bowhunting. Zero dump into the valley and consistent all the way through the cycle. Nice to have a 33" ATA with some room on the back end of the draw length for a change!
Love your reviews!… Us longer draw folks are often left out of “Flagship Bow” considerations, granted we are a smaller market but Hoyt put out the Highline now this year. Any chance you could get your hands on one and work your magic? Thanks!
I will Say both bows in comfort setting at 60 & 65 pounds are smooth as glass as far as performance setting I would definitely consider it just for elk season or on bigger game just for the extra momentum and Kinetic energy
On the fence with getting this and selling the SR6. Is it worth it??? I don’t know. I gotta shoot one this week. Nice job once again on the CP and the SR reviews!
What I’m seeing on the reviews is that speeds are all over the place. I just got done watching one where they consistently hit 348 with bow set up to IBO specs on performance setting.
I would like to see it compared to other similar current bows from the same manufacturer. Since it's market as a speed bow compare it to the revolt x please.
Great, concise review. How would you say this (#70 in performance setting) compares to a semi-backed out Revoltx80 (#75), comfort setting...in terms of better draw and guestimate velocity?
My 2016 Pse Dream season Decree is just as fast and it’s lighter than the newer equipment, although I will admit that the Bowtech Guardian the newer one is a real sweet shooter and at 65 pounds of draw weight it felt like 55 pounds to me
Do a review on longer axle to axle bows. Im from Mississippi with a personal preference on the 32"-34" bows. Im personally 30" draw length so i know that varies from individual. Lets get some more 3rd party reviews please because im on the fence on these configurations betweeen brands
Nice review. It's hard to tell when you are shooting through the chronograph if the arrow has cleared the riser before breaking the first sensor on the chronograph. If it's not the arrow is still accelerating and the chronograph readings will always be lower. I would be interested to know if the arrow is clear of the riser for your tests.
I recently shot the SR350 along side the SS34 both these Bowtech’s could have and should have come home with me easily if I would have been a little more objective in my decision making considering my remote location
what arrows are you using that are stiff enough to handle 30" and 70#, and are still light enough to be 350 grains with a lighted nock? If you are using an underspined arrow are you losing velocity to extra flex?
Ok i have a question,i just put a deposit on one of these yesterday,after watching your videos,i seen that they sent you something to bump the bow up a lil more.the shop i am getting mine from said mine just came in so should have been resolved before they got the bow in but dont have a definite yes answer,is there something i can look for to physically on the bow when i go have it set up i can look for with out obviously shooting it thru a chronograph to tell?
How often are chronographs calibrated? I have zero experience with them or in paying much attention to actual speed vs spec, but I do have experience in manufacturing quality. And consistently seeing numbers reading 3-5% low of what I'd expect would have me double checking my gauges.
Another great review. Any thoughts about preparing a spreadsheet with all the bows you reviewed for 2022? That way a consumer can make an informed decision before investing a considerable amount of money on a new bow. Just a thought.
This guy is running a bow shop in a post pandemic era. He's providing you with reviews. Yet you want him to spend well over 2-3 hrs of creating, editing, and loading. So you can have an easy to read chart so you can take 2 seconds to glance at it? Good idea. If it means that much to you, watch the bows you like and go shoot them at a shop.
I knew it couldnt have been that much for the biscuit…people were saying 4fps i thought that was way too much. I figured 2fps on average just for a guesstimate
If all manufacturers are 10-15 slow... Have you tried changing lighting or chrono's? These reviews on all bows. You measure ATA and BH. Do you check pounds to see if light or heavy? Out of the box test? Do you check cam synchronization? Tune bow before test? Wouldn't that increase speeds? Thanks for your reviews.
Great review! I’m getting older and shooting at 60 pounds what is your suggestion on make and model an older guy should get. I definitely need a longer brace length to compensate for my mistakes
I just shot the solution ss tonight and honestly its prefect for what you're asking. 7 inch brace and crazy draw. I honestly couldn't believe how light it felt. Didn't even feel real! I'm real with a long draw and it was still very comfortable. Very impressed
Just joined... whats your top 5 bows that lived up to the hype?? I know ibo is a subjective number via factory vs practical, but have you ever tested one that was closer than say 5fps to advertised?? Seems theyre always 12-15fps slow
So this is advertised faster than the Solution and in reality is slower than the Solution? Sticking with my Solution for sure. The 2022 offerings are kinda missing the mark for me. But, as always, great thorough review!
Hi!, I am not a beginner but I have only been shooting for a year, I had a PSE carbon air 34 sold it and I am thinking on getting this SR350 mostly for 3D or target shooting, would this be a good option?, please and thank you
That's pretty disappointing. How would you compare it to the Revolt X? Curious on a head to head apples to apples speed test between the two with hunting weight arrows. This bow doesn't seem like it's worth it to upgrade from my SR6.

Really appreciate you honest and detailed reviews. It is a big help in narrowing down decisions on equipment.
Just discovered your channel. Easily, and instantly, one of my favorite reviewers. Testing the comfort and performance modes is key. Thank you.
These reviews are super helpful ! In the market for a new bow and it sure helps to here from a pro . Also , great job on the presentation!👍👍👍
I appreciate all the reviews you do, just how your doing it. keep it up bud
What I like about your reviews is zero favoritism, keep up the great work.
Super excited for the new models this year. Love the longer ata line up.
Looks like the old RPM360 cams revisited. My favorite old bow!
So far out of these reviews that I’ve seen this one appears to have the smoothest draw. These are helpful videos and enjoying them! Thanks
Truth is most important. Thanks for providing that.
Like your reviews. You make it easy to follow along.
I really value your reviews. I think it would be very valuable since you find deviations with specs to also check the draw length on a draw board since that plays a role while chronoing them. Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
I appreciate the straightforward, no Bullshit report. Thanks.
Like your reviews. Just bought a 2022 bow, so not looking for a new one but still enjoyed watching.
Josh your pretty much the only guy I believe on RUclips!..honest reviews from a guy that knows what the heck he’s talking about !!!keep up the good work my man!!

Love the content, helping me make my decision for my new bow 👊🏼👍🏼
Really like what your doin!!! Keep it up 👊
Appreciate you videos, keep them up
Man 1 min from launch, you are quick!
Even though I’m not a Bowtech fan I do feel they’re making massive moves in the right direction
Im super interested in the Athens bows. The Vista 31 looks super nice
Ive had a 33 and a 35. Theyre awesome bows.

Thanks for the objective and honest review. I'd love to know what bow manufacturers have to say about their dishonesty. "Everybody does it"?

It should be called the SR330. I was thinking of waiting for this bow but now I'm glad I went with the V3X 33.
Vx33 is a much better bow and faster
Love your reviews!… Us longer draw folks are often left out of “Flagship Bow” considerations, granted we are a smaller market but Hoyt put out the Highline now this year. Any chance you could get your hands on one and work your magic? Thanks!
Some Athens bow reviews would be extremely appreciated if you're able to get hold of them, otherwise love your work.
Thanks for confirming the whisker biscuit fps. Do you confirm the draw weight and measured DL on these?
Love the bow reviews, any plans to compare the Hoyt twin turbo?
I will
Say both bows in comfort setting at 60 & 65 pounds are smooth as glass as far as performance setting I would definitely consider it just for elk season or on bigger game just for the extra momentum and Kinetic energy

I would like to see it compared to other similar current bows from the same manufacturer. Since it's market as a speed bow compare it to the revolt x please.
I'd love to hear the feedback you get from the manufacturers regarding real velocity vs. advertised velocity. What do they tell you? Thanks.

I recently shot the SR350 along side the SS34 both these Bowtech’s could have and should have come home with me easily if I would have been a little more objective in my decision making considering my remote location
Ibo rating is rated without a Dloop and a Dloop would take off roughly 8fps. Seems pretty on point still
Would love to see you review the new Athens vista 33
Any plant on doing another speed review with the new bowtech mods? Thanks.
Safer to call it the SR 340. Also can you get an Athens Vista 31
Hoyt highline, Mathews atlas, and bow tech revolt xl. I already watched your atlas review but haven’t seen anything on the other two yet.
It's coming
Bowtech SR340 your welcome.
what arrows are you using that are stiff enough to handle 30" and 70#, and are still light enough to be 350 grains with a lighted nock? If you are using an underspined arrow are you losing velocity to extra flex?
I’d like to see a review on the pse Mach 1
Personal opinion, envision or the sr350. I’m buying one or the other. How loud is the envision? I watched the reviews asking for your opinion. Thanks.
I would like to see your thoughts on the Prime inline

Hi!, I am not a beginner but I have only been shooting for a year, I had a PSE carbon air 34 sold it and I am thinking on getting this SR350 mostly for 3D or target shooting, would this be a good option?, please and thank you
Please review the 2022 twin turbo Hoyt.
Does the tune change when you flip from comfort to performance?
I wonder if there is a possibility of fitting the revolt x80 limbs on the revolt
Are u leaning towards the revolt 80 this year
That's pretty disappointing. How would you compare it to the Revolt X? Curious on a head to head apples to apples speed test between the two with hunting weight arrows.
This bow doesn't seem like it's worth it to upgrade from my SR6.
You plan on doing a review of the revolt xl?
