Bowhunting World’s Field Editor Darron McDougal recently tested the new-for-2023 Prime REVEX 2. Spoiler: With stability built right in and a new cam system, it’s a winner.

Bow Review Video: Prime REVEX 2

Bowhunting World Field Editor Darron McDougal’s 70.4-pound-draw REVEX 2 set to 28 inches in draw length hit hard with a 468-grain arrow at 277 fps — plenty of punch for any North American big game. It measures a stable yet maneuverable 32 inches axle to axle. For those demanding more stability, two other sub-models are available: the REVEX 4 is 34 inches, and the REVEX 6 is 36 inches. As stable as the REVEX 2 is, McDougal says he can imagine skilled folks who shoot long distances just smacking arrows together at 80 yards with the REVEX 4 or 6.

Check out McDougal’s detailed YouTube video below.

Additional Notes: For this bow review, McDougal’s Prime REVEX 2 was set up using a Last Chance Archery EZ Green Bow Press and EZ Green Bow Vise, and draw weight was calculated using Last Chance Archery’s Digital Bow Scale. A Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph measured the 468-grain Easton 6.5mm Acu-Carbon 340 arrow’s velocity.
