Hi guys Dan Pickar with Eastmans' Bowhunting Journal. Today we're gonna
take a look at the Bowtech Realm new for 2018 there's some new technologies
on here it's pretty cool and it's a fun bow of shoot too so let's dive right in.
Very easy to shoot. Seven and an eighth inch brace height which is pretty nice
and some new technologies this year as well the CP dual lock. This is one of the
only bows on the market that has the center pivot in the middle of the limb
just makes for a vibration free shooting platform. Uou can really tell a
difference. Also new for this year is the dual riser up beneath this limb pocket
and beneath the lower limb pocket. So you got the split dual riser.
it just increases rigidity. We're seeing that a lot with a lot of bow
manufacturers now and it seems to really help on the rigidity of the bow
specifically the riser. So also you have the orbit vibration dampener and this is
down here on the lower of the riser as you can see but there's a lot of places
that you can actually put this based on where you want extra weight on your bow.
So you have three holes on the bottom. You have a hole on the side. You have a
hole on this side and then you have three holes up here on the top that you
can also put it up there too if you want but they put it down here for a reason.
So I'm just gonna leave it down here on the lower part of the bow. Also what's
new this year is the grip. They call it the Clutch performance grip and that's a
nice slender streamline once again really comfortable a lot of bow
companies are going to that flat back grip and if you ask me it's one of the
best designs out there and provides you a very solid stable platform on the palm
of your hand. Okay then we have the Flip Disc this is right up here. It's on your
cam and what theFlip Disc does is it gives you the ability to set it to the
comfort setting or the performance setting the comfort setting gives you
more of a valley. It's easier it'll hold you'll get
a little bit slower speeds and the performance setting is a smaller valley
harder to hold theoretically but you might get a little bit more speed out of
a little more performance and it's really easy to change you don't even
need a bow press. You literally take a couple screws out and flip it over if
you want the performance setting or flip it the other way if you want the comfort
setting. It's that simple so it gives the shooter the ability to really customize
the bow to fit their needs the best. So let's go ahead and shoot the round a few
times and we'll see what we have.
The break over from that peak down to
the valley is really smooth that's what I really notice on this draw. The valley
isn't very big which is to be expected on the performance setting and then it's
a nice solid back wall. It's actually one of the more solid back walls on a string
stop that I've had. So I really like the feel of that nice crisp shot.
No complaints. Seven and 1/8 inch brace heigh. So it's
really easy to shoot. It's another one that you could shoot all day in your
backyard no problem don't get fatigued. So let's shoot one more and then we run
it through the chronograph afterwards.
Dead in the hand, quiet, draw cycle is nice and smooth. Alright
let's run it through the chronograph. This is the Bloodsport Evidence 350
total weight is 442 grains. With all my bow reviews I'm at 29 inch draw length and
70 pounds. We're about 5 feet from the chronograph. We'll shoot a couple and see
what we get.
280 280 feet per second.
Okay 280 feet per second let's do round two.
281 nice and consistent we like that. So there you go the Bowtech Realm. Be sure to
