    Hope to see the three year review. That bow fits you well. Don’t get caught up in the hype of a new bow. Unless it just wows you with some new features you don’t already have. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it ✌🏻

    I just picked up a sr350 for $560. For that price I can't complain. I'm coming off a 2016 Bear mid level bow. So a 2 year old flagship is a significant upgrade for me. Already have top shelf components to add to it. Hard to choke down $1200+ for a new bow. But wait 2 years and get a flagship for mid level prices is the way to go.

    I just bought a SR350 and I was like what the heck!!! Hahaha I love it so far great shooter and crazy fast. I have it maxed out at 30" draw with a loop 30 1/2" 70-72# and 432 grain arrow. It replaced my Reign 6 that I was having limb issues. Bowtech stood behind it and got a tremendous deal on a 2023 SR. Their local rep is not that great but they are a great company.

    You do some great reviews while keeping things fun and informative. I have the SR 350 with 60lb limbs. Bought it because it was the smoothest drawing bow and really quiet. I'm 64 and while it is a bit heavy when dressed out, I have shot a 50 target shoot and 30 target with no problem. Best to shoot it alot to keep up with the weight!

    What do you do to clean your bow? I love Bowtech, but I love love my Xpediton Smoke. I love all bows, I’m a junkie lol Anyhow, l live & hunt in the southeast (Mississippi), I hunt a lot of swamp, my bows get muddy, dusty , dirty just like you said. How do you clean it? Also, when I let my bow down (bow rope treee stand)the string in the cam gets dirty. Any specific cleaning items you use?

    Ha!...I see what you did there! I went from Bowtech Insanity to SR350. The Insanity is quite a bit faster but the SR350 wins in shootability. Just order some Lucky Stop to give it a more solid back wall. New bow string on order as well. Fun times of year with all the new bows dropping but will keep this bow for awhile.

    Honestly this is a ridiculous video. The click baitiness of it all is astounding. I hunt with a bow I don’t like and then goes on a rant about how he loves it. So he can emotionally get over the purchase of a newer Bowtech model. You need not publicly justify anything. Yearly or bi-yearly bow buyers is what the bow companies market for. The hype boys of a particular brand is the tip of marketing. Picking apart gear or tech or feel etc has become the driving force of this materialistically driven economy and so it is.
    Mankind has hunted all game successfully with wooden stick bows and arrows, any other upgrade from that is welcomed and increases efficiency at the task of hunting big game.
    We have gotten to become a culture of overly addicted felt hand vibration at the shot judges. Hyper sensitive to perceived draw cycle “ feel” gurus. and every other minute detail of the bows system. Its laughable, its marketing. Its geeked out individuals talking and talking and talking.
    Gear is one thing, Gear is great. Gear is gear.
    Get out of the warm bed at 3:00 a.m.
    Put on whatever attire you “ think” you need for that hunt. Cinch down that belt, lace up them boots.
    Blaze thru the trail the muck the mire, cross those ravines, climb that ridge, drop down into that basin or get up that tree.
    At last either he approaches or you approach him, it does not matter at this point.
    Eyes fixed with a focus that occurs at no other time in life, breathe deepens, heart rate increases like a thumping drum.
    Patiently and impatiently you wait for that perfect shot op. Will it even happen? Is a fleeting thought in your mind, barely perceptible.
    The mind expands 1 minute into an hour. He clears the brush and tangles then stops, broadside you see fine details of muscle bone , hide and hair.
    Completely oblivious to your presence, he lowers his head and begins to feed. You have completely melted into the environment around you, not a trace of predator anywhere, you have become ONE with nature.
    The draw is made and by your fingertips your arrow and the game are married. The sound of the impact was like a crack of thunder to your beating heart.
    Once collected you now pursue.
    The color of life upon the earth leads you to your quarry only steps away from the arrows union.
    Like your harvest you drop to your knees to meet the one who agreed to dance with you in this hunting song.
    Bound to this agreement ordained by God.
    He will sustain us and our families as we sustain him.
    It is the great play of light and life.
    This is where we stand. This is the focus. When we are here. What we have in our hand is of little meaning.
    Just as long as we have something.
    We are golden!
