Bought the SR6 today from xxx Archery in Rainer Oregon. Unlike earlier bowtechs this one shoots really nice in the performance mode. I am an older shooter (68) and shooting this at 29 inches, 65 lbs in the performance mode and it is pushing my 442 grain hunting arrow at 286. It is extremely comfortable for me to shoot at that setting. Never thought I could get this kind of speed in a bow so comfortable for me to shoot.
Here's something that I'm not sure if a lot of people is realizing about BowTech flagship bows they don't have hand shock or jump to them and they don't have hardly anything on them to help with those two issues either. If you look at most of the other flagship bows they are loaded with string silencers and rubber dampeners. I guess BowTech doesn't need to add all the extra accessories to get their bows to be flat
Shot both of these bow today. I was very happy with the way the SS performed. Not so much with the SR6. The sr6 came in much slower then I expected. It actually shot 18 FPS slower then my triax with the same arrow. Sadly I was very disappointed considering the IBO speed is faster on the bowtech. The sr6 has a lot of vibration. But the SS is a great bow! I loved shooting it
Only if the module screw is behind the limb... but there are ways around that too so that you shouldn't need a press to change draw length or to switch between comfort and performance modes.
Looks like I'll be using my RPM360 for another year............ Remove the gay handle & fill in void with bondo, wrap with hockey tape = Solid grip......
Shooting PSE radial xweave pro 200 with feathers and 85 grain head. At 64 lbs I'm shooting 336fps. Maxed out at 72ish I'll bust 360. With 7" brace. I shoot a matrix now but still use my bowtech
Haha that’s a terrible reason. It’s people like the ones at bowtech and leupold among others who are trying to make changes in this state. Bowtech is a pretty awesome company in my opinion. My last four bows are bowtech and the next one most likely will be as well. To tell the truth I think there are more conservative minded folks here than libs. They just won’t vote and get the right people in office. I do my part and hope someday things will turn around.
Respectfully, please reconsider. The Fire/Police Games was held in NY State several years ago.Bowtech donated SEVERAL fully kitted out bows as prizes for Firefighters and Police Officers competing in Archery. The other Big names wouldn’t even donate T-shirts and hats (which is what was requested from Bowtech) They’ve earned my money. But I do respect your stance and opinion Sir.

Lynne Pettit I was just there and not looking for a new bow but after shooting that one I’m considering what I can sell to buy one..lol

SS stands for super smooth, my next bow!
Its like the Reign 6 and the Realm X had a love child
Much better than the Hoyt’s can’t. Even compare amazing 😉
David Santoro the SS is much much better then the rx3 IMO
Real nice I am more old school I like my Indian bow much like what the Native American people used to use
Speed check... the SR6 is rated to 352 as stated on the Bowtech website, but not uncommon for them to exceed by a couple of feet per second.

John Kovacs. SR6 same poundage? I wonder if it was out of sync?
Thats odd considering the realm x was hitting above ibo and is faster than the triax. Not sure that is accurate.
Was it on comfort or performance?
Aaron Hall same poundage, same arrow, same draw length. I doubt it was out of sync. The bow was tuned
john parrish yea I was really confused, shot the SR6 like 30 times trying to figure it out but had the same results every time
The SS stands for Super Smooth not Super Speed like stated at the beginning. The SR6 is Speed Redefined.
The basic realm is faster than the Realm SS
next thing you know we will have triangle shaped cams lol
Might have to retire my BowTech Tribute from 2006??
VicJackpotRider yes, this bow is awesome!
I'm doing the same with my allegiance.
SR6 352 IBO, not 357 right? ;)
Correct
Whats the letoff on these bows? Specifically the SS? I didn't see that info on the Bowtech site anywhere
I’ve been looking at a new bow. What worries me is I’m seeing quite a few Realms for sale used. Are shooter finding this bow not to their liking?
Where is this archery range located?
Good video..the owners manual is for realm series bows...it says you need a bow press to change the draw length is this totally true?
Only if the module screw is behind the limb... but there are ways around that too so that you shouldn't need a press to change draw length or to switch between comfort and performance modes.
I like
muito top
Are they going to carry the realm and the realm x over to 2019? Thank you for your.
Yes they are
I watched a different video from Bowplanet & they said 80% let off 4 both 2019 bow tech models.
PJ!!!!
Again, I would appreciate sound while shooting. Doesn't maje sense to review a bow claiming quietness and smoothness and not showing the audio.
looks like a good amount of handshock...
Which one is quieter?
SolidSnakeFPV the SS is much quieter and less vibration. Definitely a more shootable bow
whats the price gunna be
airpeewee shop here in Corpus Christi tx has both listed for $1199
Looks like I'll be using my RPM360 for another year............ Remove the gay handle & fill in void with bondo, wrap with hockey tape = Solid grip......
Still love my RPM, looks like they've used the RPM cams on the Sr 6
My allegiance will smoke that bow but is hard drawing
Lol

I will never buy a Bowtech since they are made in that liberal State Oregon. I refuse to support that State.
dumm
