It’s very obvious why you are successful! Your straightforward consistent system makes it easy to justify the different price points. Also you don’t cloud the reviews with marketing fluff!
Stephen, as someone who found archery near my home in Northumberland near Alnwick, just over a year ago, I was keen to learn. My club made up of traditional archers mainly and coming from a hunting background as a game shooter and shotgun coach, I was interested in those areas (which I can't do in the UK) as well as in compound bows. I can honestly say I have learnt more from you than anyone I have met in the world of archery. Your knowledge and advice saw me buying my first secondhand compound bow, an old PSE, and now after your review I have bought a fantastic PSE React (called a Response here). If I was close enough, I would be a dedicated customer, as it is PSE owe my custom (through M erlin of Bishop Auckland) directly to you, so thanks, and keep making films.....oh, and get that dog trained, hilarious. My gundog Rox, the black lab juat shakes her head watching that poodle wandering around. Brilliant stuff.
Without a question, the best bow reviews on the net. I am looking for a good used bow in the US and I am considering a few bows I would have to buy without shooting them first and I will only consider bows that you review. Thanks for the excellent reviews.
Stephen, can you do a bow test where you shoot four arrows with different weights (say like, 350, 450, 550, 650 grains) between two or more bows, to see the speed difference among those bows under different arrow weights as well as the difference on the bow speed for a bow when using different arrow weights? Interesting to see how much speed difference each bow will make between lightest and heaviest arrows.
And...it would speak to how efficient the cams are with the heavier arrows, especially for those who shoot heavies (I shoot 465gr-480grs on my 60lbs bow, 524gr-560gr on my 70lbs bow).
Steve, was trying to find out the difference in the riser between the hb33 and the turmoil rz they are almost the same bow the hb33 has more adjustments but is the riser made from cheaper materials
There are two comparable bows in this price range, the darton demon also the quest thrive made by Quest prime archery. The thrive includes all the moduals for the 2 track cam at no additional charge.
Forgive the late comment, I just stumbled on these reviews while looking for a bow for my girlfriend. First off, you do awesome work. Very thorough, very informative and honest. A quality many do not have. My question, I suppose is, during this review you mentioned Hoyt not being comparable at this price point. And have cast risers. Are Hoyts just that much better? Are cast risers better quality than the others?
Maybe the limb stops weren't set right, that would explain the lack of valley and letoff, and explain the speed because you would gain an Inch of draw maybe of they were adjusted right...? Maybe? The bow advertises at 80% letoff and 348fps.
You make really good archery videos. Regarding the "crooked" limb suports. My brother owns a Obsession Turmoil that I shot. I noticed that it also has slightly forward tilted limb suports. Actually, if you look closely at your video when you hold the bow close to the camera there is a slight tilt/slope on the surface of the limb suports where they contact the limbs. So, maybe it is suposed to be like that. Idk😅 Have you found out any more regarding this? Im really interested in the hb33. Hopefully a good value bow. In Finland we have only one dealer to my knowlage that sells Obsession bows😅 Thanks again✌️
I am learning and watching all your videos. Its helpfull for me. I'm interested do You maybe tested a Junxing M122 compound bow ? No body make a review of that compound bow. Thx
Love your reviews. Just curious, do you usually carry left handed models in your shop? Here in the states i still have to make a pretty far drive to find and shoot some models just because Im left handed. I figured being in australia it may be even harder for lefties to find a bow.
Matthews VERTIX, and I'm PSE shooter that is looking to buy Prime CT9 for target. I liked it better than PSE EVOKE, Prime CT3, Bowtech REALM RS AND SS, or any of the Hoyt bows.
I picked up a new 2014 Bear Method for 275 usd. Over the chrono it's moving a 450gr arrow 306fps at 29 inch draw and 65lbs. The draw is stiff and aggressive, if you relax it just wants to rip. But it is an accurate bow. It's a cast riser and the finish seems pretty flimsy. New I think they were in the 600-650 use ballpark. Now I think the BR33 has taken that spot and price point and specs looks comparable to the obsession but the obsession looks like it would take my method for a walk.
@@ObelixCMM you're absolutely right. Sorry, my mistake. That was with a 375gr arrow, plus or minus a gr or two. My speeds with 450 were dramatically slower, as bows go I think they were like 289-290ish?
IBO speed will never be achieved with any hunting or target setup on any bow IBO speed is a speed that bows are able to reach with the max poundage and lightest arrow without fletching, the actual speed bows get with a standard hunting arrow and with the average hunter shooting at 60-70 lbs is usually around 280-310 fps with bows that have an IBO speed between 320-350
You make awesome videos! I check everyday for new content. Thank you for your honest and professional reviews. Your time is much appreciated!

You do a great job ! Hats off to you ! We watch all the time
Great review my friend! I’m sure you’ve found out by now, but for those watching, the valley is adjustable.
Love the vids, can't wait to see the bowtech review with the sr6 and SS. Comfort and performance mode
He doesn't do Bowtech reviews, but they are nice shooting bows.

I really like your bow reviews. Waiting on the fx6 and fx7 review.

I live about 150 miles from jeffersonville ga haha. Yes we have a southern draw accent
I have one of these bows it is amazing to shoot anyone considering buying one for the price you can’t beat it
Do you know something about the VXT arrow shaft from Victory archery? I saw them on the Victory website but can't find them somewhere else.

Might be worth checking at least. It could definitely be mis-advertised as well, but you never know. And that could make a significant difference.
Say it a little louder for those in the back! Lol an Obsession has adjustable let off. It's on there website and they offer videos on how to adjust it
@@1slammedEK that's what I was trying to get too as well. No valley or letoff it's not setup right.
Is this or elite option 6 a better bow I can get an elite option 6 for a 100 dollars less
When are you going to do a review on the Lawless
Is that arrow weight 327 not counting the 90 tip?
The let off on an Obsession is adjustable. It will max about 90%
Ethan Beam wrong non adjustable
My bad only on flagships

Am I correct in thinking that moving the limb stops will change the let off, and the draw length obviously.
Yes
I am debating between this bow and the turmoil rz which would you prefer and why?
I am learning and watching all your videos. Its helpfull for me. I'm interested do You maybe tested a Junxing M122 compound bow ? No body make a review of that compound bow. Thx
EMBER OR HB33? Which is the better bow? Higher quality and better shooting?
Hb33 vs Hoyt torrex xt which would you suggest
Looks like a Darton from a few years back?
Love your reviews. Just curious, do you usually carry left handed models in your shop? Here in the states i still have to make a pretty far drive to find and shoot some models just because Im left handed. I figured being in australia it may be even harder for lefties to find a bow.
Yes - Left handers sell in a ratio of 1 to 10. So if you sell 10 right handed bow I would stock 1 left hander. So I only stock popular bows in left.
Would love to see a review on the lawless!!!
What's your favorite bow for 2019 so far? If you were a short draw archer, which bow would you pick?

That will give you 362 fps IBO rating on bow that is rated 340 fps by manufacturer, better check your chrono.

Riser reminds me of a High Country Speed Pro, or a New Breed.
agreed
The riser is from obsessions kids bow called the Hashtag.
What is this Epix you talk about ;)
It is not called Epix any more, He did same thing when he was reviewing Bow Madness ̶E̶P̶I̶X̶ Unleashed :)
Good bow,
Steve
I love your reviews my friend.
I can get the HB33 at my local shop for $499 US.
Good hunting bow?
Your opinion is valuable.
Yes I shot it very well.
Use blue lock tite the red you have to use heat to break it lose. Heat my mess up stuff on your bow
I would go with purple for all bow applications, lowest strength.
@@ObelixCMM thanks for the tip. I didn't even know they made purple

Pse = pieces scattered everywhere. Had a pse drive Lt and was absolutely junk.
So...move the freakin limb stops...duh
