Field & Stream No B.S. Bow Review

[Jellymon]

Magazine bow reviews are more ads than actual reviews. Here's some pics from the "review" of bowtechs RPM360. Look closely at the cams.

   Looks like the photographer needs to learn to take photos before he attempts to play with the bow!  And of course the editor needs to actually do his job!

My hoyts way down at number 10 WTF is wrong with these people.  If they had shot more than 100 arrows out ofbthat bowtech it would have been in 360 pieces.

You got to quite living in the past buddy.  

This ain't the old Strothers/Strasheim Bowtech!  Hasn't been for quite some time   Once the pickle fork left the building it's been quite the transformation.   For the better!

I veiw this strothers guy as a big joke really.  Hes been with more bow companies than I can count.

Seems to be a smart guy!  But even his own companies seem to boot him to the curb before they get their feet planted.  Sounds like there may be some character flaw there for sure.  Elite, Obsession and Xpedition all have a heavy influence of Strothers and they are dang fine products.  So he has done some good things it seems

I've shot over 1000 arrows and haven't lost anything off of her.  I'll keep ya posted d rock.  The 360 gets a 10 from me.  It has killed the only two animals it touched.  It's quick and almost knocked down my deer and elk this year.  Of course it's set to 72# so I wouldn't expect any less.

It looks like that bowtech couldn't even stay together long enough to get its picture taken.

They still have the same crappy customer service!

Happens to every single brand on the market when you do this!

I'd post the link to blacktailcrzy's late Chiwawa hunt were his Hoyt blows up.  But Hoyt probably paid to have it taken down   Thread is still here but no longer any video.

Funny, I just watched an episode of western extreme with Jim burnsworth where he is hunting hunting mountain lions and his bowreck blew up on him. Then he went on to say it wasn't the first time. My bowreck experience was similar, pull the bow back and bam no more functioning bow.

Never happened radsav no proof.

We have had PSE, York, ProLine, Sims, Martin, Jennings, Onieda and Hoyt go on us in the past.  Some cam failures, some riser failures, but usually limb failures.  Never shoot enough Mathews to have it happen, but I see plenty of those each year at the local shop to know it happens.  I shoot BowTech a lot!  I know it does happen, just never experienced it myself.  Maybe I've just been lucky   Unless the limbs break most of the modern bows I see have that problem is from guys drawing with their fingers as in the video above.  No compounds are exempt from that...None! 

Luckily for me only one (Onieda - '87) went when I was at full draw on an animal.  Have had a couple go while Carp shooting though.
