I'm excited to share the results of my highly anticipated 2024 Head to Head Bow Test! This year, I put five top-notch bows to the ultimate test: the ELITE ETHOS, HOYT ALPHA X, PSE MACH 30 DS, BOWTECH CORE SR, and the PRIME RVX. I've thoroughly evaluated these bows in six crucial categories to bring you an in-depth comparison that will help you choose the best bow for your needs. (Mathews, Obsession, Xpedition, and Gearhead were reached out to but their bows did not show up in time to be included in this specific test)
Here’s a sneak peek at what I tested:
1. Out of the Box Bow Weight - I checked the weight of each bow straight out of the box, giving you a clear idea of what you'll be handling in the field.
2. Draw Cycle Discussion - I analyzed the draw cycle of each bow, discussing the smoothness and consistency to find out which one stands out.
3. Back Wall - A solid back wall is crucial for consistent shots. I evaluated how each bow feels at full draw.
4. Sound Test - I measured the noise level of each bow upon release, crucial for those stealthy hunts.
5. Arrow Speed - Speed is a significant factor for many archers. I tested arrow speeds at different draw lengths to see how each bow performs.
6. Shootability - Ultimately, shootability can make or break a bow. I tested how each bow feels and performs in real-world shooting scenarios at various distances.
My video review, launching around June 1st, will dive deep into these tests and provide you with detailed insights and conclusions. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current setup or curious about the latest gear, this video will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Stay tuned, mark your calendars, and be ready to join the discussion once the video goes live. Check out the detailed forum post and join the conversation here: [2024 Head to Head Bow Test on Rokslide](rokslide.com/forums/threads/2...)
Happy shooting,

best test I have seen on KZfaq

Thank you I appreciate that. A lot of effort goes into it!

Long story short, pick the bow that feels the best and practice like crazy. Modern bows can outshoot most anyone.

Can’t argue with that

Nice review man!!! I love to send my PSE DNA In for that review I ain’t hating I just been looking to upgrade from it but year after year I just keep it and ordering new strings and cables from ABB I can’t find anything faster or lighter and more dead in the hand is the DNA the greatest bow ever built? I am all in for a new bow every year but I can’t find anything better

@southernoutdoors1862 Ай бұрын

I been begging for someone to sell me a new bow!!! PSE Mach 30 peaked my interest as well as the lift 29.5

@adventureoffscript Ай бұрын

Hey thank you! It was a ton of work but I strive to provide helpful information! The Mach 30 DS was pretty sweet. As for the LIFT, it didn't show up in time!

Curious why Mathews didn’t get tested? Great video!! Lots of cool stuff to think about.

@Rokslide Ай бұрын

We never leave anyone out on purpose. Just depends on who’s willing to send a bow when we’re ready to do the testing. Super happy with Matthews and many of our members will agree. They just didn’t send a bow for this test.

@adventureoffscript Ай бұрын

The Mathews bow did not show up in time to be test. As of this comment, it still has not arrived. When it does, I will do an individual bow review.

You shoot that alpha X well my friend. Is that what your going with as your groups were without a doubt the best with the Hoyt

I appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching! I was fortunate enough to hunt with the the Alpha X in 2023 and shot a buck with it! I will be hunting with the other bows this upcoming season!

I’m guessing that ethos was on the performance mod? Shot that bow earlier this year and it’s an absolute shooter!

Interested in how the Mathews compares, why was it excluded?

@Rokslide Ай бұрын

Everyone’s invited to these, but for various reasons some manufactures choose not to participate. Most of the time it has to do with timing. If you go on Rokslide.com you will see multiple reviews on Matthews and they perform very well

@adventureoffscript 23 күн бұрын

Hey Max thanks for checking out the video! Mathews was going to participate, but there was a deadline on when the bows needed to arrive by and Mathews didn't show up in that time frame. It did finally show up and I will be doing a review on it on my personal page.

Left out elites SET which allows easy tuning along with 1/4" draw adjustments, and the cable guard can be adjusted with the LTR. Small detail left out to boost other bows? Elite offers more tuning options than any other bow period. If SET doesn't get it done for you the cams can still be shimmed. SET=modified yoke tune, Deadlock=easy cam shimming. I just don't feel you described the ethos nearly as well as the other bows, aside from that it this was an excellent bow review.

@Rokslide 3 күн бұрын

"...left out to boost other bows?" Hardly! We don't do it that way at rokslide-- never have, never will. These reviews can't possibly touch on every feature or they'd be so long all the commenters would complain about that instead. We thoroughly covered Elite's SET technology at the full review (written by a Rokslide member) linked below. Here's that review: www.rokslide.com/elite-era-bow-review/

@tsi-rocket4144 3 күн бұрын

@@Rokslide But you made sure to touch on hoyts 1/4" draw adjustments being a big advantage and stopped to cover deadlock? Could have easily covered SET, LTR and 1/4" draw lengths in 30 seconds and referred to your review for more info? At the same time to be fair you didn't cover the fancy sight/rest mounting options available from about everyone but elite. Be great to cover things quick and refer to your individual bow reviews and avoid wasting time on a review like this. Elite for sure lacks in the mounting of accessories not arguing that. Still a great condensed video and more than anything I appreciate your response!

@@tsi-rocket4144 I don’t think you quite understand how Rokslide works. We take reviews from members and staff, that way we can cover more reviews and members have a chance to share their experiences too. It’s also the most unbiased way to do reviews. When you have that diverse of a pool of writers, there is no way we’re gonna, cover everything you’re talking about in every review. It’s not like we have a Monday morning board meeting and get everybody together to figure out what they’re gonna cover, not cover, etc, doesn’t work that way. If you look at the written review I sent you it’s also linked to another elite review that talks about SET technology. we’ve covered it plenty and if you look at all the reviews as a whole, you’ll see we’re very fair. We just don’t like being accused of hiding anything to promote other bows. Completely unfair statement. And looking at the feedback on this review, It doesn’t look like anybody thinks we’re wasting time.
