BOWTECH BOW BATTLE 2022: SR350 vs CP28

When I did my 2022 Bow Battle late last year, comparing flagship bows from Hoyt, Mathews, Elite, and Bowtech, the SR350 mods were still be worked on. They came in shortly after that, but I just now finally got a chance to go back to Archery Field & Sports in Des Moines, Iowa to test it out. I'm comparing it to the CP 28.

Both of the bows have a lot of the same features, but then some are quite different. The SR350 has an axle to axle length of 33", a brace height of 6" and an IBO speed of 350 fps. The CP28 has an axle to axle length of 28", a brace height of 6.75" and an IBO of 335 fps.

But how will they compare in actual speeds, shooting a 366 gr arrow and a 440 gr arrow? How will they compare in the noise of the shot? How will they compare in the feel of their draw, back wall, let down, and hand shock?

I will be testing all those things with both of these bows at a 27" draw and at 70 lbs. NOTE: What happens at 27" can be very different from what happens at 29" or more.

The actual speeds, on the Performance Setting were:

SR350:
366 gr arrow--289 fps
440 gr arrow--266 fps

CP28:
366 gr arrow--283 fps
440 gr arrow--263 fps

I repeated those speed tests many times, and these speeds were basically the averages or center points of all the tests.

MSRPs:
SR350: $1299
CP28: $1199
