Bowtech is backing off the speed this year to give you smoother shooting and super-easy bow tuning via its new Deadlock Cam System, which allows you to move the cams left to right on the axle to eliminate cam lean and torque for perfect arrow flight. And all you have to do is turn a set screw. I always expect shooting a Bowtech to be enjoyable, but the Revolt surprised even me; the draw cycle was super-smooth, which I guess should be no shocker with a slower IBO than the company has produced lately. I love the Deadlock Cam and the tuning power it gives shooters without a bow press, and the new Clutch grip is comfortable. While not the speedster of its predecessors, the Revolt is a great-shooting bow that most hunters will really like.
The Black echoes the micro-adjusting trend with a brand new Roto Cam 5-Track Parallel Cam system. This means the bow can be adjusted across the entire draw length spectrum. The Easy Tune Shim System allows for 0.03-inch cam adjustment right and left between limbs. The Black 3 comes in at 33 inches and has a max speed of 337 fps. The longer axle-to-axle lengths provide more forgiveness and a more stable foundation to begin your shot. And with draw lengths from 25.5 to 31 inches and a weight range from 40 to 80 pounds, this bow is varied enough for most adult archers.
The 2019 Vertix from Mathews was one of the most vibration-free bows we’ve ever ran through the paces of our annual Bow Test. The VXR seems poised to set a new standard for vibration-free performance at this year’s test thanks to a melding of the Vertix’s top vibration-killing features with a totally new riser design that Mathews claims increases overall bow stability while further reducing vibration. The bow is also lighter thanks to a reconfigured riser design. It’s not a huge reduction in weight (last year’s Vertix weighed in at 4.7 pounds while the VXR 28 scales 4.44 pounds) but it is noticeable. The VXR is also smartly available in two lengths – 28 and 31.5 inches. The 28-inch model will certainly be more popular but the 31.5 is a long-range shooting machine. Advertised speeds are 344 fps for the 28 and 343 for 31.5.

TenPoint entered the ultra-narrow, reverse-draw crossbow world last year with the Nitro XRT. The new Vapor RS470 is another entry that measures just 6.5 inches across when fully cocked. It has a new TEC-X stock that TenPoint touts to be stronger and lighter than previous models and a new riser of 7075-T6 aluminum reduces the overall bow weight to just 8 pounds. Perhaps the most notable change from TenPoint in 2020, however, is in the cocking system. For years, TenPoint’s ACUdraw system set the standard for ease of use and reliability in the crossbow arena. The new ACUslide system builds on that success. It’s ridiculously easy to use and allows not only for hassle-free cocking, but safer de-cocking as well. The Vapor RS470 is sold as a system that includes the ACUslide system, an Evo-X Marksman scope, STAG hard case, EVO-X Lighted CenterPunch Premium arrows, EVO-X CenterPunch broadheads, sling and quiver for $3,050 in camo or $2,950 in gray.
