We hate to tell you this, but it is VERY common to unbox a new "bare" bow and find significant cam lean, loose fasteners, uneven limb tiller, poor cam timing, axles spaced incorrectly, improperly set draw-stop pegs, unset cable clearances, unchased mounting holes, cables crossed on the wrong side, etc. Most archery e-tailers sell these bare bows directly to consumers as is, but we think that's a lazy and irresponsible way to distribute archery equipment. You won't believe how quiet it shoots, how refined it feels or how a $699 bow can unleash such unholy hell on a target.Ī raw factory-boxed compound bow is commonly called a "bare" bow (not to be confused with a "Bear" bow - as in Bear Archery Products).
#Obsession turmoil free
Feel free to look around, but this is the flagship killer of the bow market. With the Turmoil out there, who would pay $999 for something else? There aren't many bows out there capable of matching the Turmoil RZ's performance or vibration-free shooting manners. Just as last year, the Turmoil caused us to scale back our orders for several $999 flagships across several manufacturer lines. It really does exhibit a reasonably smooth draw cycle, a decently comfortable valley and it doesn't even have a slightest wiggle of hand-shock or vibration. THE TURMOIL IS STILL INSANE GOOD: Forgetting the horsepower for a moment, the Turmoil is top-notch in every other department as well. The official advertised IBO Speed of this bow is "up to 350 fps," but we think it's still underrated. The new 2020 "RZ" variant is no different. To be frank, we had this bow shooting in the mid 350's right off the trailer. But 340 simply wasn't accurate - neither was 345. The Turmoil was originally slated to be advertised with a 340 fps IBO Speed in 2017, but for marketing reasons, there needed to be some separation between the lower-priced Turmoil and Obsession's $999 firebreathers. Why would anyone buy a more expensive bow? The Turmoil is beyond outstanding - and this year it gets even better with the addition of rotating cam modules. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ īACK FOR MORE AND BETTER THAN EVER: Obsession has rocked the market with this bow.
