Awesome as always! Doesn’t matter what bow you review it’s always great to get someone that knows what they are talking about giving unbiased opinions to help us make better decisions
Just picked up the RX-7 two days ago. I also shot the Ventum Pro 30, the V3X and Solution SD. In my opinion, the RX-7 is worth the money. That being said, a small shop was selling it for $1499.99. That was the difference maker in my case. Back wall is solid, hand vibration is almost nonexistent and it was a great upgrade from my 2012 Hoyt Rampage XT.
The most funny and same time incredible think it that in previous videos he tested Hoyt torrex XT one and I think the torrex xt is the only bow with the spec that actually at the test point show exactly as manufacturers spec and at 70lbs is as fast or faster that others flag ship Hoyt bows .why pay 💰 1000& or 1900 .I have bear bow 70lbs and torrex xt 70lbs both good bows but torrex xt way harder to pullback but there comes a speed and I called the torrex xt sniper as super accurate at 25 yards first pin inch bull eye
I bought my first Hoyt when I was 19 and Hoyt is all I have bought and shot for the last 27 years but it’s getting where I cant justify giving that much for them anymore.
Overtwisted cables and string seems to have the timing off a bit as is apparent in the short ata measurement. Why not give it a quick checkup before running the numbers?
Hey a review of the Athens vista. APA black mamba and dangerous game. And bear refine would be awesome. There’s reviews out for them but nothing honest enough for me to make up my mind.
Thank you for all your videos and knowledge just had a question about that chronograph cause I have the same one do you use the lights on it im asking cause I was building a 3d arrow and out of my v3x without the light on it seemed to less consistent I used the same arrow 3 shots without the light were 294 292 and 290 all same arrow I then turned the light on and got 296 296 and 295
Ya no kidding bro bow prices have gotten completely outta hand they’re making money hand over fist especially hoyt they’re the most expensive me personally I think hoyt is conglomerate and over rated
JJ, I wonder if; like the included stabilizer, they test the bows at Hoyt without the limb dampening rubber? I'm curious to know if this get's speeds on different bows a little closer to the advertised speeds? Could be an interesting test.
Great review but I'm glad I ordered the Mathews V3X 33...and I thought that was stupid $. Just a suggestion,I recently tried to order from you to deliver to Canada and you wouldn't even ship to a US address..what's up with that...have ship motorcycle and gun parts for years to US addresses.
@podium Archer if you were wanting a carbon bow would you rock the RX7 or levitate I respect your knowledge and value your opinion I was just curious which u would prefer
The RX7 is now on par with the Mathews regarding dead in the hand, quietness but the RX7 is a bit under its IBO. The Levitate does not feel as nice, is not as quiet but is hitting it’s IBO and some people are getting above IBO speeds. Just my thoughts
Depends on the ibo if you max the mod out and limbs you gain a lot of efficiency, I am up 18 fps with the mod 2 at 30 and .5 with my d loop than my bow techs bow with a mod 3 at 30.5 if you have a 29 draw then the vtm, if it’s a 30 then the rx7
Are there ANY bow Makers that tell the truth with the power ??? To tell you the truth, It`s Really getting to me ?? Just as well say 400 fps ?? Oh, and Thanks for your input !!
~3 fps for a 5% increase. But most people which will run the 80% modules will do due they like to have some weight in the back, not due the speed gains.
I think bow companies are testing their bow speed without the limb dampeners. That could raise the speed substantially, since speed comes from the power stored and released from the limbs. Those dampeners have to take away some power to work.
No that wouldn’t make up that big of a difference! That’s not good speeds and it was tested at 71 pounds so it’s probably 18 FPS slow. That’s a little to much. The Ventum was closer to the advertised speed. This year a fe bow companies I think really went to far lying about the speed. They all wanted to make quiet vibe free bows and chase feel but sacrificed a little to much speed.
@@orlandoagostinho6615 they lie. They all have kinda embellished it usually by 5-8 FPS. This year Hoyt and Bowtech have gone to far and fudged the numbers by 15-25 FPS which is to far! People are now wanting quiet, no vibe bow so companies are doing that but having to sacrifice some speed to make it vibe free. Then they are lying and saying it still shoots 340 IBO which is not true.
Bows are supposed to be more efficient with the limbs locked all the way down how in the world did that qualify as a 70lb bow and with it maxed out hit 77? Qc on that one was off and because the qc was off didn't give it a good chance at hitting a better speed
You seem to be a big guy as I see you taking a wide stance and scrunching down to shoot thru the chronograph. What is you comfortable draw length? What release are you using in the videos?
@@saulgood6190 I’m not a hoyt fan in the least bit but yes ur prolly right but most of these bow companies are on they’re way out the door they’re not gonna be able to stay afloat with these prices
One thing to consider with the speed is that you are shooting vanes with the whisker biscuit arrow rest which can cause the arrows to slow down. That’s probably why all of the bows are slower than advertised.
I believe he did a video of this comparing the whisker biscuit and drop away rest speeds. If I remember correctly it was like 3fps. Still doesn't excuse over a 10fps difference in advertised speed.
Why are they coming in at 77 lbs? I’ve seen that in my region as well and that is a stiff draw at 30”. You are pulling the entire 77 lbs all the way through.
booth systems in my mind are good . booth have good sides and bad sides. So try to mount a big MRT ring on the spot Hogg fast E XL or Hoggfather on the Bridgelock . Fail ! not fitts at all and you can flex the Ring down. On the other side - you need offset brakets for each Axcel sight . so like i sayed - both have good and bad things 🤷🏻♂️

I cant find any videos with the new 80lb bows and speeds with different arrows weights.
That would be nice
Mercy, at these prices, they should be offering side bars, and stabilizers of your choice as a package deal.
Been looking forward to this!
Awesome stuff Josh! Love watching your reviews, and all your info, been seeing u with Dan on his for a while now! Kicking ass bud 👌
I’ll keep the extra $500 in my pocket and get the Ventum pro 30 🤘🤘Amazing shooting Bow!!!!

Great job!

At $1900 does give guys like Dan a longer draw length?
Thank you for all your videos and knowledge just had a question about that chronograph cause I have the same one do you use the lights on it im asking cause I was building a 3d arrow and out of my v3x without the light on it seemed to less consistent I used the same arrow 3 shots without the light were 294 292 and 290 all same arrow I then turned the light on and got 296 296 and 295
Could you show the draw length on a draw board to see how accurate that is?
$1900 is a lot for something made in china. a lot of great aluminum options made in the USA for a lot cheaper
The same can be said about Apple...
@@Buran01 whose making cell phones in America." Apples "and oranges
I'm not a carbon bow fan at all, but this one looks pretty sweet. Until you flip the price tag over and have a heart attack lol
Just sell a kidney or a nut

@@jasonnester9514 hey man my ventum 33 pounds at distance (80-100 yards). Same price as a Mathews or bowtech 🤷♂️
@@jackbuendgen389 they’re all expensive sadly and wow 100 yds man I can’t even take a 30 yr shot lol
@@jackbuendgen389 Ventum 33 for the win 😎
I’m 28.5 Dl, so no Hoyt for me😅!! Whish mods would overlap like they did before… will stick with my V3!
Seems like the fastest bow in Hoyt line was the Hoyt torrex XT one in that spec you are shoot 70lbs 350g arrow!
77# from the factory is off by 10% thats a huge margin. Did you guys chrono it at that peak weight?
Did you watch the whole video? After he test the draw poundage he lowers it to 70
Great review!👍
JJ, I wonder if; like the included stabilizer, they test the bows at Hoyt without the limb dampening rubber? I'm curious to know if this get's speeds on different bows a little closer to the advertised speeds? Could be an interesting test.
Anyone heard anything about the changes to the Hoyt carbon for 2023? Since they brought out the rx7 2 years in a row.
Great review but I'm glad I ordered the Mathews V3X 33...and I thought that was stupid $.
Just a suggestion,I recently tried to order from you to deliver to Canada and you wouldn't even ship to a US address..what's up with that...have ship motorcycle and gun parts for years to US addresses.
a 4.8 pound carbon bow. Whats the point
Sorry but was wondering what the let off is? Not mentioned in all my magazines and not even in there website. Kind of weird
@podium Archer if you were wanting a carbon bow would you rock the RX7 or levitate I respect your knowledge and value your opinion I was just curious which u would prefer

I got one for 1k with a sport Hogg sight and their Hoyt rest
Are there ANY bow Makers that tell the truth with the power ??? To tell you the truth, It`s Really getting to me ?? Just as well say 400 fps ?? Oh, and Thanks for your input !!
What’s the better one to get that one or the ultra?
Wow. Let off barely changed the speed. That is surprising
~3 fps for a 5% increase. But most people which will run the 80% modules will do due they like to have some weight in the back, not due the speed gains.
It also shortens the draw length if it was 80% at the same draw length you would notice even more
video production quality increasing... along with # of subscribers.
Any bows actually living up to their advertised speeds?
what's the reflex on the bow
Maybe I can get my ventum up to 77🤔
I think if your going to buy a bow buy top of the line and get one that’s going to last a long time
Can you do a video on some rangefinders that you think are worth the money
I think bow companies are testing their bow speed without the limb dampeners. That could raise the speed substantially, since speed comes from the power stored and released from the limbs. Those dampeners have to take away some power to work.

The Ventum was closer to the advertised speed. This year a fe bow companies I think really went to far lying about the speed.

If you’re paying 1800 for a bow advertised at 342 fps you should be able to get closer than that…
You seem to be a big guy as I see you taking a wide stance and scrunching down to shoot thru the chronograph. What is you comfortable draw length? What release are you using in the videos?
6’4”, Scott sigma
“IBO of 400…” that might make it worth the $1900 price tag. Could only imagine how your shoulder would hold up to shooting that though. Haha
These bow companies are going to price themselves out business one day
@@saulgood6190 I’m not a hoyt fan in the least bit but yes ur prolly right but most of these bow companies are on they’re way out the door they’re not gonna be able to stay afloat with these prices
Does the whisker biscuit change the fps?
he did a video on it, only a few fps at most.
Probably should an Arrow on it before you draw it back just saying 😁

He's really loosing out on that HUGE 1 FPS.
ua-cam.com/video/d3gauhNrYUw/v-deo.html
1.5 fps.
Yeah my bad
Bet that scale is off no way was 77+# on 70 limbs.. your the only person I've seen reveiw these bows that got a number that high
U could put 100# on them limbs with no repercussions the materials they use now days is why the price tags are the way they are
Deduct 3-5 for the pound and half extra draw weight and that makes it a definite over hyped over priced bow.
You sound poor
@@austinphillips9966 I always keep the weak and illiterate in my prayers. I'll include you.
@@lencallahan1395 glad to be apart of your blessings
Why didn’t you put the bow back into spec??? Backing off 2 rotations on the limbs isn’t how you do it.
VAAA JJ!!! Lol
Do a beginners bow something for the average fella that can't afford 1900 dollars for a bow
It seems very loud.
Takes hoyt 70lbs to acheieve arrow faster than 300
Don’t matter. Under 300 and will still take a deer down
@@jasonsanders6630 oh no question
Why are they coming in at 77 lbs? I’ve seen that in my region as well and that is a stiff draw at 30”. You are pulling the entire 77 lbs all the way through.
i dont like the picatinny rail garbage its a bow not an AR15 Mathews system is way better and im a Hoyt guy
Pic system is more robust and accomplishes the same thing, both are good
booth systems in my mind are good . booth have good sides and bad sides. So try to mount a big MRT ring on the spot Hogg fast E XL or Hoggfather on the Bridgelock . Fail ! not fitts at all and you can flex the Ring down. On the other side - you need offset brakets for each Axcel sight . so like i sayed - both have good and bad things 🤷🏻♂️
Mathews is just a name. That’s what people pay for. The draw back on a Mathews is absolutely terrible. The Hoyt is way better
Slower and heavier then should be. Screw Hoyt
they are all slower then they should be, where have you been?
Who cares 😂 unless you’re shooting 200 yards, it will still take down a deer
Hoyt zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
