I'm sure people will be reading this and thinking that I'm an idiot for asking this question, but I really don't care. I'm a bowhunter, emphasis on the "hunter" part of the word. Not much of an archery tech guy. Give me whatever bow, I just go hunt and shoot stuff. But as of two days ago I am starting to dig in and learn more about the tech side of archery.
Anyways, now that my elk season is over with, I'm on the hunt for a new bow. I am a Hoyt homer, for better or worse so I'm only looking for info on these two bows and will have the bows for the next 8-10 years. I'm going to be buying either the RX1 or the RX1 Turbo. I went and shot both of these bows yesterday, the RX1 set at 80lbs and the Turbo at 70. Both are amazing. The bows I shot were not set up and tuned for me specifically, but I shot a dozen arrows out of each and had arrows touching at the range with both. I did not however have time to dive into questions with the guys at the pro shop because I had other commitments I could not miss.
My question is this- what advantages would the RX1 with 80lbs have over the Turbo with 70lbs, and vice versa.?? I have a 29" draw. My thoughts on the two were that they both had a pretty similar back wall, not much noticeable difference (again coming from a guy that isn't well versed in the archery tech world). I felt that the 80lb bow did have noticeably more hand shock than the turbo, but I would think that's to be expected.
Any info comparing these two bows and their performance is much appreciated. This set up is going to last me for a long time, and with the price tag, I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about them.
