Barnett Revolution AVi  (model year 2008 update)

 
 

Performance

As mentioned one aspect we complained about was that the Revolution Avi did not reach the advertized arrow speed with the factory recommended setup. So we went to test field with great expectations and…

See for yourself:

Arrow Type                                            Point     total weight        Rev AVi MY 08           Rev AVi MY07

Barnett 22” (Easton C2)                         100         420                        345.3                    325.6

Barnett 22” (Easton C2)                         125         445                        333.9                    318.6

Carbonexpress Maxima Hunter(20”)*    125         438                        337.8                    318.8

Easton Power Bolt  (20”)*                      125         452                        336.4                    328.7

The Revolution AVi does meet the expectations !!

* arrows marked with asterisk are shorter than manufacturer's recommended length (22")  we used them for performance evaluation only, under controlled shooting conditions.

NEVER use a shorter and/or lighter than recommended arrow as it will void warranty and may cause injury.

The results shown here under the column MY07 are not taken from our previous review but are new measurements as it seemed more interesting and fair to compare the two models with the exactly the same arrow, point and under identical climatic conditions. Velocities in FPS read using Beta Chrony chronograph, measured 1 meter from arrow tip, measurements taken indoor.

Conclusions

 

The Barnett Revolution AVi  MY08 has all the good peculiarities of the previous model such as:

 

·   Adjustable stock for a customized shooting position, allows         you to “fit in”

·    Quick detachable riser assembly for ease of transportation and law compliance

·    Top of the line performance

 

On top of that the Revolution AVi adds a revised, better trigger and updated cams and limbs to produce the advertised speed of 345 FPS, all this at an affordable price without sacrificing quality.
