For those of you who shoot a lot of different bows, I am curious as to what hunting bow is best for longer distances; 50, 60, 70, 80 yards. I've owned most of the latest Hoyt carbon bows, Mathews flagship bows and many of Bowtechs and Elites and found the Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo and Elite Ritual were the most accurate bows for me.

Recently I'm thinking the Bowtech Revolt X is the best for long distance shooting.

What fits you best for long range shooting?

Also curious to hear what others think.. as for me I shoot an elite valor ( not a flagship elite bow) but at 70 pounds and with a single pin CBE slider I get some pretty impressive results long range shooting with it (70-100 yards).

I dont shoot a bunch of bows but I do shoot long distance. At 100yds my RevoltX is infinitely easier to shoot than my carbon Defiant. Under 50yds and I'm as good with either bow. Two bows is hardly a thorough comparison but I feel the length of the X is what makes the difference.

My Revolt X is much more accurate than my RX-3 Ultra past 30 yards. Groups out past 50 yards are cut 25% with the Revolt X.

I used to shoot my Mathews Classic at 70 yards with Muzzy Phantom 125 4-blade broadheads and XX78 2317's. Now I shoot my Bowtech Carbon Icon out to 80 with Magnus Stinger 4-blade 125's. 80 is far enough me me. Either rig can consistently hit a orange at that range. In my limited experience, it's not about the bow. It's about proper tuning and consistent form.

Do date, my 3 year old Elite Synergy 7.385” brace 33.5” ata, it is an awesome combination of balance mobility and forgiveness. Easiest holding bow i’ ever shot too. When I find a better bow, regardless of manufacture, I will buy it!

I’ve shot 95% of my arrows in the last decade at 60-80 yards, and I am by far more accurate with this bow. Likely help from all of those above factors.

I agree with this, specifically the "it's not about the bow. It's about proper tuning and consistent form" but have found some bows settle on the pin and do not move, where others are much more difficult to hold steady for long range shooting. I could not hit a pie plate at 60 yards with my Vertix. I was a little better with my VXR. I shoot the Revolt X better at 60 than I shot the VXR at 50.

Most accurate is the guy behind the bow. I’ve been in archery close to 46 years , never once thought if a bought a certain bow I could be a better shoot . I know guy that have best bows high end accessories and can’t hit a trash lit at 50 yds .

You might be surprised. I shoot all brands and enjoy long range shooting. Some bows are simply better shooters at distance. I'm sure it how the bow fits, the grip, balance.....but some are definitely more accurate than others.

Idk , I never looked at it like it was the bow . I looked at it as it was the bow being the problem , and made me work harder to be a better shot . I used to practice out to 120 yds and shoot 150 arrows a day . Anymore be lucky if I practice out to 60 yds
