Gotta say the first bowtech I shot was last years speed bow and I was so amazed at how consistent it was without a sight and how smooth it was at 70 pounds and will definitely purchasing a bowtech hands down my favorite on the market I’m in tn and we don’t have a lot of bowtech dealers so thankfully I found one kinda close I’m excited to shoot and purchase my first bowtech it’s probably gonna be this one!!!
Dude, your comment about Bowtech's hats that come with the bow is so spot on. It made me laugh. Those hats are ugly. They're too small for an adult head, and they're scratchy. Otherwise, we love you Bowtech!
Facts…. I have a small head , therefore I like structures hats. I get free hats all the time , and it’s always the loose unstructured mesh backs , and I’m like you can keep it , they insist I take it… and it goes straight in the trash.
For real. I just bought a core SS today. I have an XL head so it was a no go. But my wife has a normal head and it was tight in her. Shit is made for a child. lol
One of the best channels bar none for bows. Ive been a hunter for 30+ years (rifle) then a few years ago i bought a mathews dxt and instantly got hooked. Wish i had got on the bow train long time ago! Then this last year i was looking to upgrade and came across a carbon zion with a trophy ridge digital react site,qad drop away, tight spot quiver etc... for cheeaaap! (600cdn) and barely shot. Now in your opinion would this bow be worth the upgrade considering my level of experience in archery/hunting. Thanks for everything you do to keep us all informed.
Definitely worth the upgrade yea , necessity no those carbons by Bowtech seem to last if it’s still performing keep it, the core ss would def be a nice change and I think it’s perf for a someone with your level of experience and very simple to learn and work on yourself
I think I heard you say you work at a bow shop on weekends. If I heard that right is it in the Stl area. I’m trying to find a good pro shop. Bought my last bows at Dunns. Not in love with the bow shop there. Love the store though.
One of the best bows for 2024 no doubt. I do pull 27.5 - 28” and appreciate the performance side. However you can always build an arrow to get the speeds you want. Love the channel brother 👍🏻👍🏻
Been loving your videos. Your perspective has been good cause I'm just getting jnto hunting with my budget bear. And looking at upgrading soon. I'm curious you did the justice. But no one has reviewed the commander. Looks great but info on them outside of bowtechs website. Have you had a chance to even see one in person what do you think?
Had a choice between this and the Solution SS, for $800 less (here in Australia anyway) went with the solution just couldn't justify the extra money. Love the reviews, you did sell me on the SS.👍
For the guy who has had major shoulder injuries and a major surgery and new to bow hunting (age 52) would you recommend the core ss 60# draw weight runed down with room to improve ir a Mathews image maxed out at 50#?
I believe if you looked at the sound wave, you would see that your decibel reader is recording the arrow hitting your target, not necessarily the sound of the bow itself. Recording at longer distances may prove to give you lower sound readings b/c the reader may not pickup the sound of the arrow hitting the target as much.
I’ve shot the SR but I finally shot the SS tonight and it’s incredible, haven’t owned a bowtech YET but it’s the best flagship of the year imho. Now I’m taking a look at the SS34 as well. I wish the core ss was a 33/34 I kinda feel like they did the SS and SR backwards on ATA length
Have you shot the bow without the orbit dampeners and what was the difference? Also, do the dampeners have any impact on how quite the bow is? Thanks and enjoy your content.
Good review man, I really want to love the bowtech and I know it's give or take.. If you want comfort you sacrifice speed; if you want speed you sacrifice comfort.. Why cant we just have both lol. If I could stay at 280 at 28.5"/70lbs with this bow id hop on it, but I think at my DL it's just gonna be pretty slow :(
At 50 yards you said it didn’t hold as well as you were hoping it would. Does that mean at 50 yards and longer it won’t be as accurate as other bows within that axle to axle range?
I hunt with a Solution SS. Looks like the Core SS has a 5 fps bump in speed has the cam timing and grip adjustment features. Does the draw cycle feel the same as the Solution SS?
Very nice man, great review! I need to go shoot the SS! Had the revoltx lived it, only issue was the grip. Got the high wrist and helped out. Confused on your appeal score. Your not a fan, but you scored it high 9/10?
I shot the sr side by side with hoyt alpha x 33. The sr was in comfort. The draw was the same . Shot about 10-15 through each one . Hoyt had a touch less shock but it was so close it could have been my imagination. Shot at 28” draw on both.
So I'm at 26.5 maybe 26 give or take. Shoot left hand. Am I SOOL as far as getting speed from any bow since I am so short? I am new and bought a blackout epic that does 340fps, but there were issues with the pulleys so I returned it to basspro. I am looking at the diamond deploy sb but don't want to have to shoot 10 to 20 yards every time I hunt as a worse case. I also get a deal on the oneida Phenix but know the speed is slower by 25fps. I'm shooting a 340 grain arrow. Should I just use a crossbow at this point since I have not shot for 30 years?. Thanks
Wait isn’t 8 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 8 = 43? And then x2 is 86, +1 for cost = 87? Not that the score matters more than the substance of the review (which is great)!
@@BackyardBows Dude I debated saying anything because the content is what matters. But basically I’m over here just tracking all these other scores while awaiting my RVX order to arrive at my local shop lol. The work you’re doing is fantastic man, thanks for all this information.
I like to see Bowtech do some aggressive stuff AGAIN like the Insanity and 36O PLUS REALM SR ETC.... THAT NUST MY PERSONALITY..I am thinking an Expidition or maybe APA... I SHOOT sledgehamners.. i do not play around with 100 or 110 grain broad heads.. GIVE me that arrow penetration with an aggressive bow... I want to break $#!+ 😂 when i hit my mark..
Good stuff man!! Can you possibly do the new bear paradigm? Im a longer draw guy looking for good inexpensive back up to my v3x. Would like to get your review on it. Keep up the great videos! 🔥
Im 27 1/2 with loop Ive always been a Bowtech but Expidition! Seems to be calling me.. Where is The bext type Realm SR or INSANITY !! I WANT TGAT SPEED FOR THOSE SPEARS I SHOOT OUT OF MY BOWS!!😂😂😂 IM OLD SCHOOL ON MY Arrow set up! Give me Speed powsr in Bow and ill shot Sledgehammer arrows!! 150 grain Wenzel woodsnan. BOWTECH OR EXPIDITION?
Weird....I actually like the hat a lot😂
Great reviews, I really appreciate all the work you put into your content!

Great review!! Shot one yesterday at a demo day and loved it. Normally a Mathews guy but this bow is next up for me.

Just found your channel. Im hoping to upgrade this year and really like what im seeing with this bow.
just bought the SS 3 days ago. been shooting every day. cant put it down. great bow
Still one of my all time favorites
Why did I think the Core SS review would be boring...
Just the hat rant alone. Your reviews are truly helpful.
The hat rant was incredible 😂😂
😂

Many years ago I shot a Hoyt and I took a long break from Archery. Really eyeballin’ the Bowtech Core SS!
Yep get those stinking hats outa here. Good call, great review

One question… have you shot the bowtech SX80?
Been loving your videos. Your perspective has been good cause I'm just getting jnto hunting with my budget bear. And looking at upgrading soon. I'm curious you did the justice. But no one has reviewed the commander. Looks great but info on them outside of bowtechs website. Have you had a chance to even see one in person what do you think?
Yes let me see if I can get my hands on one
Nothing shoots like a bowtech!
Had a choice between this and the Solution SS, for $800 less (here in Australia anyway) went with the solution just couldn't justify the extra money. Love the reviews, you did sell me on the SS.👍
I’m still wanting to give that ss34 a test run!!
For the guy who has had major shoulder injuries and a major surgery and new to bow hunting (age 52) would you recommend the core ss 60# draw weight runed down with room to improve ir a Mathews image maxed out at 50#?
Another great review! Thanks Brandon...just curious what type of camera you use to shoot your videos?
How would you compare a Core SR 60# on performance or a 70# on comfort and what is the speed difference
I wish they would’ve gone with a pic rail instead but I wonder if they’ll be coming out with a core lock stabilizer like Mathews did with bridge lock
I believe if you looked at the sound wave, you would see that your decibel reader is recording the arrow hitting your target, not necessarily the sound of the bow itself. Recording at longer distances may prove to give you lower sound readings b/c the reader may not pickup the sound of the arrow hitting the target as much.
You should do a video on arrow setups for whitetail and/or pigs!
Did one for whitetail check it out, pigs might go a little heavier on front in and run a fixed blade over mechanical
Brandon I just picked up the new Darton Consequence mid price, it is sweet, you should think about a review for that one, worth every cent !
Yes got two from Darton coming
Also I hope you get the new beat persist in
Bear Archery Hats:
“Hold my Beer”
Those new graphics are 🔥🔥🔥
So, between the Core SS, the Elite Ethos, and the Prime Ronan...which bow do you think you'd choose?
I’ve shot the SR but I finally shot the SS tonight and it’s incredible, haven’t owned a bowtech YET but it’s the best flagship of the year imho. Now I’m taking a look at the SS34 as well. I wish the core ss was a 33/34 I kinda feel like they did the SS and SR backwards on ATA length

If I could stay at 280 at 28.5"/70lbs with this bow id hop on it, but I think at my DL it's just gonna be pretty slow :(
What sight is that trophy ridge?
Can I ask what your height and weight are? We have an identical build..I’d be curious to see how close we are. Thanks
6’1 about 250lbs
Long mod it in comfort and get the best of both worlds man!
At 50 yards you said it didn’t hold as well as you were hoping it would. Does that mean at 50 yards and longer it won’t be as accurate as other bows within that axle to axle range?
I hunt with a Solution SS. Looks like the Core SS has a 5 fps bump in speed has the cam timing and grip adjustment features. Does the draw cycle feel the same as the Solution SS?
Very very similar
Very nice man, great review! I need to go shoot the SS!
Had the revoltx lived it, only issue was the grip. Got the high wrist and helped out. Confused on your appeal score. Your not a fan, but you scored it high 9/10?
Do you think the draw cycle is better (smoother) then Hoyt? due to shoulder injury I am all ways looking at draw cycle.
Effortless yes
I shot the sr side by side with hoyt alpha x 33. The sr was in comfort. The draw was the same . Shot about 10-15 through each one . Hoyt had a touch less shock but it was so close it could have been my imagination. Shot at 28” draw on both.
Could you possibly do a review on the bear cruzer g3
Now that you shot both the Core SS and Lift what would you choose if you could only have 1? I am looking for a bow to set up for 95% 3D.
Ever since you talked about the solution ss, I’ve wanted one, but they’re hard to find. Is this one as smooth as solution ss?
No but gets better speeds and I feel worth the trade still butter just not as effortless
I shot SS and SR side by side at 28" draw. I could not tell difference in draw cycle.
Do u shoot both sides of the mod and what poundage
@@BackyardBows Shot in comfort only at 70 lbs
I shot both the SS and SR today. The SS had a noticeably smoother draw cycle
Does the ss have limb stops or string stop? How about the cp30?
What release are you using?
Spot hog wise guy w/ boa strap
So I'm at 26.5 maybe 26 give or take. Shoot left hand. Am I SOOL as far as getting speed from any bow since I am so short? I am new and bought a blackout epic that does 340fps, but there were issues with the pulleys so I returned it to basspro.
I am looking at the diamond deploy sb but don't want to have to shoot 10 to 20 yards every time I hunt as a worse case. I also get a deal on the oneida Phenix but know the speed is slower by 25fps.
I'm shooting a 340 grain arrow. Should I just use a crossbow at this point since I have not shot for 30 years?.
Thanks
Athens Axxis next?
Soon I’m hoping
Looks like Bowtech went back to the extreme wrap around cable ends.
👍🏹🎯
