You still are that little boy in a candy store. So nice to see you smile about a new toy. And the fact that you struggle with the same things we all do ;-) love it
Awesome looking bow. I have a left hand bowtech prodegy and absolutely love it and I'm definitely familiar with bowtechs quality and performance!!! The Reckoning is a beast of a target bow for sure and I think they will sell good for you Steven, especially after your killer review!!🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
Also, I like how you talk about balancing. Perhaps you can do a complete video on this subject. Gaurantee most people really don't understand about balancing your bow and what to look for? Thanks
I love the idea of the customer being able to adjust the cam lean without having to use a press & remove the cams & axles to re-shim. Pressing & re-shimming is where a lot of the damage occurs. At worst the customer gets this wrong & brings it in & you can re set it to factory in a matter of seconds with no risk. This also applies for the customer.
I’ve had my Reckoning 38 for a couple months and I really like it. I like that I can switch from my Victory VAP skinny arrows to fat V-tec 27s and have a bullet hole through paper in under 10 minutes!
I think in the store it will be ok - but over the internet I worry about complaints with the paint. Glad you love it. I liked the bow alot. What module do you use.
I have had many Hoyt target bows, but probably won’t be shooting Hoyts anymore or Mathew’s. The PSE Supra RXT with the SE cams and the BowTech Reckoning 38 gives the shooter way more versatility in the cams to adjust the bow to you. Been watching your videos Steve and really appreciate them. Finally narrowed it down between the PSE Supra RXT 40 or the Reckoning 38. Where I live nobody carries target bows. Being a left hand shooter I will never be able test shoot a target bow before I buy. Yes, I have bought new bows and owned them for one day. Price I have to pay before being left handed.
Good group ,almost as good as the group you shot with th Jungxing Pheonix . If you could pickup five points by shooting the pheonix would you buy one??????
Saw a Bowtech video where Bowtech has a machine that dry fires the bows 1000 times. I wouldn't want to test that on a $1700 USD bow myself but it would be a nice assurance.
I would like very much to see a comparison between the Bowtech Reckoning 38 and the Prime Nexus 6, that or the Bowtech Reckoning compared to the Nexus 6. That is if you can get the Prime bow(s) in Australia. I do have a Solution SS and really like it but I am thinking of moving up to the the Reckoning, especially the 38. I am looking to build a second target bow and have heard a lot of really good reports on the Reckoning and Reckoning 38. By the way I am not a hunter so the shorter Solution SS, as good as it is, is not necessary (30" ATA) for me. Any input or comments you might have for me will be greatly appreciated - thanks.
got green Reckoning 35. Too "rip your shoulder off if you're not cautious"-y for me. But it's a nice bow overall. A little bit overpriced if you'll count the worst stock string (serving separarated near top cam just out of the box, never shoot it it) and the paint. The color is good, but the quality is not. A big chuck of it just peeled of when I decided to set sight'/ mounting lower. Sad that it's locked in our archery club since april so i'll maybe shoot it only next spring or whenever this covid situation will ease a little bit.
Great technology with that cam adjustment for sure, but "marks" on the riser out of the box ? Wait for it Steven, there will be a whole lot more. That soft Bowtech "paint" coating requires packing in cotton wool. So easily chipped ! $2500 is considerably more than equivalent flagship target brands, so one should expect better. And if anyone likes cocking their index finger up over the grip shelf, be aware that it has a sharp corner. Look forward to you shooting a distance comparison between the new Elite Rezult and this Bowtech Reckoning 38. The Elite has all the latest technology, 1/4" draw changes, & certainly won't chip like these. Surely Bowtech is dealer negative ? Show less REPLY
I'd like to see your reviews with a set up...dont really care what it shoots like naked...will never shoot one like that...a good naked shooting bow doesn't mean it will be worth a crap with stabilizers
One thing that always baffled me is the packaging of bows, especially high end flagship models. For mere pennies they could use a little more cardboard to limit movement of the contents. For Pete's sake (little personal jab at Shipley) the Chinese whoop your asses when it comes to packing. PSE, no more metal staples. One return will eat up more money than proper packing 100's of bows.
I had one for a month, a blue one and the paint flaked off the riser and limbs, bowtech were utter shit and it took 4 months to sort it ! Gimmick bow !
They are pretty but they are so fragile and overcomplicated machines. I drag mine through the mud like an AK-47. I much prefer a recurve, and have went from somewhat cheap takedowns, to ILF midrange bows. I do like the blue though.
PSE has the trashiest paint job ever! I have a BowTech Reckoning and PSE Focus XL. Paint almost immediately started flaking on the Focus! T total garbage paint job! The Reckoning after a year is wearing quite nicely. Both bows shoot well, however the BowTech is much more forgiving to me than the PSE… hands down. Look! I’ve painted bows myself over the years that still have decent finishes after years. PSE couldn’t even last days from the box! Paint is paint and much more susceptible to dings than anodized. I just think PSE needs to put more prep and hardener into their paint process! 🤦🏽

I love my reckoning 38. I have shot the best scores of my like with it. I was shooting low 200s. Now I'm shooting 278. Love this bow.
Thanks for your honest reviews. I have alot if respect for gentleman like yourself. Thanks and stay safe please.....

I would appreciate it very much if you do the comparison between the focus xl, rezult and the reckoning 38 like you said in the video.

Steve does great on these reviews.We don’t need pissy remarks. Shove off sailor😬

I just switched from VAP TKO to PS27 and took me 3 arrows, I will sell couple older bows (Shootdown, CT9) and get another Reckoning 38.
Love my Reckoning 38, also got the marks out of the box.
I think in the store it will be ok - but over the internet I worry about complaints with the paint. Glad you love it. I liked the bow alot. What module do you use.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale the low let-off on performance, with the draw stops set about 3mm more than the DL
When is the Bowtech, Elite and Pse comparison happening.?
I have the same bow. The finish is the most delicate of any bows I’ve owned in the last 25 years. Other than that it is a awesome bow.
I'm glad you finally pulled the nock point off that came from factory. Wish you did that with all the bowtech reviews
Waiting for the review of the PSE Supra XL, Elite Rezult and Bowtech Reckoning 38 @ 50 meters!

dude, i feel ya. not a left handed bow one in pro shops. always a "special order" crikey!
Aestheticly it is a good looking bow. Love the idea for your next video.
Awesome reviews the shops in the US will switch Matthews mods out for free if you buy the bow off them
Can't wait for you to get the 2023 reckoning g2 36 in stock
Love to see full target set up
Awesome review and great advice
Good group ,almost as good as the group you shot with th Jungxing Pheonix . If you could pickup five points by shooting the pheonix would you buy one??????
I shoot the BOWTECH REVOLT. Great bow. 30inches axle to axle ibo 335. Great bow dead in the hand. I shoot target and 3D wt it.
I love my Reckoning. I have a couple chips/scratches. I took a felt tip marker to them. If you stare at it you can tell. Otherwise, it's all good.
Is there a string angle difference between the 38 and 35?

Is he saying 18 or 80 meters? I love these videos!
18 meters he always shoots that.
Hi!, what release do you use ?
The bow costs more, but with a Mathews you’d pay 60$ for each module +50-100$ per grib +60$ for the top hat system. I think the price is right!
it's not the length that matters, it's what you do with it.
should i swap my shootdown for supra focus? what you think Steven?
It's up to you mate. But I brought the focus xl after shooting all of them
Playa 308 i was looking to buy that bow to. But they all sold out. So end up with shootdown.
@@syahjohnsy O no. That's a bother. If I was you hold out for the new one. It's will be awesome. Focus on roids
When you do your testing can you throw the reckoning 35” in the rotation as well since it is relevant?
He already did the 35" I think a little while back
@@bengibson502 yeah that wasnt my question. He’s putting them side by side comparison, so i was just asking to include the 35

Ooooh, liking that....
Sir please make sandila miracle X10 recurve limbs review...love from India.
I think that you nock the arrow above that brass nocking point. You nocked your arrow below the brass nock... That is why it was not square.
does he mean Revolt ?
Mine as well send you a bare bow and a can of spray paint if there gunna be marked up from the factory !
Do all the bowtech come with them silly brass nocks

Too bad it starts at 27 inch with no way to change it lower...I shoot 26.5...damn it
How much Steve, lol

I have an focus xl and even though it would invalidate the warranty, I'm thinking about repainting it myself. 🏹🤠👍
GET THE BOWTECH((((( SPECIALIST 2 )))))) BOW FOR 1/2 THE BLOODYHELL PRICE !
