Reckoning 38 reviews

Most compound bows are designed to take down animals and only perform adequately at a target range. Bowtech noticed that archers wanted a bow that would perform consistently and accurately at the target range as well, so they created the Bowtech Reckoning 38 for archers looking to dominate at the range.

Things to Consider Before Buying

The Bowtech Reckoning 38 was designed with the target archer in mind so they could be as dominant at the range as possible. The new design builds off the popular Reckoning design and makes it even more capable for target shooting. The 38” axel-to-axel length means that the bow has more surface area to increase its balance and allows the bow to more evenly displace its weight for the best balance possible.

The high shooting speeds of 325 fps mean that even the longest distance targets don’t stand a chance with the Reckoning 38 in hand. The draw weight ranges from 50-70 pounds so archers can fine tune their shot for maximum comfort. The deadlock system that is seen on several elements of the bow ensure that shot after shot with the Reckoning 38 are as accurate and precise as the first.

Who Should Buy it?

The Reckoning 38 is designed with the target shooter in mind and would be most at home with this style of archer. The long limbs and balanced design will be immediately noticed by the professional target shooter and will be appreciated for their enhancement to the overall bow. The primary audience of experienced target shooters will be thrilled to work with the deadlock system because other bows require constant tuning and adjustment with every shot, while the Reckoning 38 is set and ready to shoot in one go.

Who Shouldn’t Buy it?

The Reckoning 38 offers many great features that may make it seem like a good fit for any archer. However, its design and purpose make it only ideal for a very niche market and customer. The Reckoning 38 would not be ideal for someone looking to use it as a hunting bow because the Reckoning is designed to excel at target shooting and was not designed to hunt animals. The Reckoning would also not be a good beginner bow for target shooters because the large size and number of features would make this bow very difficult to learn on.

Pros

•  Long limbs and stable riser make for a rigid platform
• The deadlock system ensures every shot is shooting consistently
• There is a wide range of adjustment on the bow for customizable performance

Cons

•  The bow is heavier than others due to its size
• The price for a bow like this is rather high for a limited use bow

Final thoughts 

It may not be the best hunting bow out there, but that was never the intention for the Bowtech Reckoning 38. With its blend of consistency and balance, the Reckoning 38 Is sure to keep  you in the 10s with every shot.
