80 pound bow Comparison: Bowtech Revolt X80, PSE EVO EVL 34 and Athens Vista 33

This video, Luke and Joe do a side-by-side comparison on the current 80 lb bows we have at the shop. Looking at draw cycle, speed and efficiency, they pick apart their preferences between these 3 great bows. Consider for the speed testing: Revolt x80 @ 79lbs, EVO EVL @ 79lbs, and the Athens @ 76lbs. Add 6-9 fps for all the readings from the Athens for a more accurate comparison.

Great video! After shooting Joe's evl now I'm hooked and just had to pump up my nxt33 to 80, can't wait for the limbs to come in!
And I do agree the x80's front half of the draw seemed especially harsh (at least to me) and it seemed like form was more important for drawing than shooting (my back wasn't a happy camper after that one) i do see the appeal of the x80 and im sure people will love it.
Keep up the great vids!!

Great video guys. Glad I found your channel!!

You guys should do a video on shooting form. It would be a solid addition to the channel.

Awesome video guy’s, the Athens vista seems to be getting lots of good reviews on YouTube. Cheers for sharing 👍👍

I absolutely Love my revolt x80. with it at 82~ and 31 inch draw it launches my 720 grain arrows at 265 fps in performance mode. I went from shooting hoyt and not being a fan of their draw cycles at all to bowtech and I can't put it down

[CoachGoodwin]

Great video, fellows! Thanks for sharing. Those are great bows!

Your shop is putting out some of the best youtube content out there.
Like globally... The armpit hair added some much needed "cringe"
I was only able to draw your X80 once... It shot a bullet though.
Front loading is for real on #80lb.

I don't know whether I am more excited about Ozark season 3...
Or Evan, eventually making it into one of the videos.

Can I pre order Evan themed Merch...

Ohio Premiere Archery is One of 2 shops in the country, I would buy a bow at.
Keep up the great work.

My shoulders hurt just watching you guys. LOL.

Love the blooper reel. Vista seems to be making a big jump

Draw cycles are definitely shooter dependent. My son in law draws the X80 as smooth as a 60 pound wheel bow.

80 pound bow in comfort setting? Kind of defeats the purpose. Great video, guess I need to start working out cause 74 already feels heavy.

[o.n.e.wayhunting]

Drawing more weight, i.e. 80lbs, is the most practical variable someone can change to gain more speed and extend their range. You could build a lighter arrow, but this becomes less efficient and ethical. So people, be it man or woman, who have shorter, sub 28" draw lengths, may opt to shoot a heavier poundage bow to attain that speed and efficiency and extend their range and allow them to shoot a little heavier (6.3-7.2 grains per pound draw weight) and more efficient and ethical arrow weight.

Why did you have the Hoyt in 80 pounds bows

[jasonnester]

Hey bud it’s Jason the taxidermist I’m down the road from your shop

[timbow]

I just can't understand why so many average type deer and hog hunters think they need 80# bow. It's just not worth it as far as killing game in America. A 60# bow with a 450 grain fixed blade will blow thru and elk

[wcwcgarner]

What happened to you guys. No more posts

[andrewbobro]

Just when i thought lighter bows were the latest trend 🤣🤣

[justinwilson]

Can i upgrade my pse evl 34 to 80lbs? How?

[kylehardin]

Dudes...you stopped giving the chrono readings 🤷‍♂

[derrickknight]

Put the bowtech on performance mode and see what you get
