I may have put 15 shots thru bow counting shots thru chrono. I put a few shots through the bow (6-8) and off to the Chrono i went. So far the bows have been shimmed well from the factory. I put a shot thru paper to check and first shot was near perfect. I set up with a Qad, loop, and a 3/16 Tru-peep. I took the bow synced cams, set draw length, let off, set center shot/nock point. I know your more interested in the numbers so I will get to it. It feels very similar to the 2015 Evolution/Fusion 6 It's a very quiet bow and dead at the shot. It has a bit different roller guard than the K bows as it actually has 2 rollers as opposed to a slide on he K34Īs with all Obsessions the Defcon 6's draw cycle is very nice and smooth throughout. The riser looks very sharp and the Realtree Xtra Green looks outstanding. We test and review the best new hunting crossbowsĪdvancements in compound bow technology have come so far, so fast, it’s a bit greedy to expect radical redesigns every year from every manufacturer.Guys just wanted to post a short review of the new 2016 Defcon 6. Why change a good thing? they’d probably argue. But we’d be less than honest if we said we didn’t find ourselves looking for a bit more innovation in this lineup. Still, variety defines the compound industry. We evaluated bows that offer tremendous value, some performance breakthroughs, and, yes, a few duds that need refining. Whether you’re looking for a budget bow for backyard whitetails or a top-end rig designed for conquering the field and the 3D course, you’ll find it here. Test team member Alex Robinson holds steady on the Indiana 3D course. Ackerman + Gruber EDITOR’S CHOICE | BOWTECH REIGN 6 | SCORE: 93.8 This year’s Editor’s Choice compound, the Bowtech Reign 6.

Knowing the specs and drawing this bow, it was not what I expected A speed bow shooting 360 FPS with a 6' brace height. This year’s champion was the Reign 6 from BowTech, which earned a score of 93.8 out of a possible 100 to slip past Mathews’ Halon 32-5. The 2016 Obsession Bows Def-Con 6 specs: IBO Speeds: 360 FPS. In the end, it was the Reign’s adjustability that gave it the edge. You can tune and adjust this bow as much or as little as you want. And while bow geeks will love that, you really don’t have to adjust it much to make it shoot smoothly. The Reign 6 features redesigned binary cams that allow for tuning of both vertical and horizontal nock travel. Pair that with the system’s MicroSync dial (an ingenious tuning device that allows you to correct minor timing issues caused by string and cable stretch or wear, without the need for a bow press), and you have the ability to fine-tune your bow quickly and easily. It also features a revamped version of BowTech’s FlipDisc, which allows for two distinct draw profiles: The Performance setting generates a bit more speed and a shallower valley, and the Comfort setting generates a smoother draw cycle. Changing the two discs is simple: Just remove two pairs of Allen-head screws, flip the discs, and replace the screws.
