What's the fastest BOWTECH th as I can purchase.. not necessarily IBO.. you've chrono tested tho… doesn't even have to be a 2024… I just want bowtechs fastes… can you help me bow Yoda??๐
Difference between this bow and the TRX38 Gen 2?
Matthew's fan boy for sur i wouldn't own one if it was given to me just my opinion
IBO IS with 80# pull +/- 2# and 400 grain arrow so the speed part of your reveiw is not a true accurate test.
The best product or person always has the most haters. I got a fully loaded phase 4 33 after trading my carbon one. Best decision yet. Iโd be buying the lift if i could find one used!
What ended up being your go to setup for this year?
You mentioned the draw cycle is better without the cam maxed out. For someone pulling 70lbs, would this bow benefit from the 80lb turned down to 70?
i think people hate on mathews because …. 1. mathews marketing is the best. 2. they are always getting beat by guys shooting mathews.
Martin Bows used to do the fade colors and I really liked it
Sorry JJ, you cowed to the altar of Mathews bro…ANYBODY else that was off by 13 fps, you'd EXCORIATE them until they were on ๐ฅ!! Don't be a wuss now!! ๐ฎ๐ข๐ …Btw, I'm picking up my new 33" Lift tomorrow! Lol ๐
What is reflex that you always measure ?
I enjoy your videos and understand who pays the bills. But please be consistant from review to review. Keep shooting and reviewing.
I finally found a left handed 33 in stock and was able to shoot it a bit. I decided to pick it up, spend some time with it, and wanted to report out my real world findings. To be honest, I was very skeptical about this bow when I first saw the release of it. When I first inspected one in person, my skepticism grew. You can literally grab the cam and bend it around in all directions (of course with the bow at brace) as the limbs are so skinny they just flex like crazy. I was worried about that from a durability standpoint. I was also worried about the cams being very, very skeletonized. They seem like they would be easy to bend, etc. Those were some initial observations before I got to shoot one.
I got to shoot one and my first reaction was 1) the draw cycle is very linear, just stiff 2) there is no valley (even at 85%) 3) the vibe/shock after the shot is more than the Phase 4 and 4) the riser length adds to stability significantly 5) something different in the grip where your thumb fits is improved. I shot it with both C and D draw length mods and landed on taking it home with the C mod. I bought the bow and took it home (we do our own set up and tuning at home)……
Set up was easy. With a center shot rest we had a perfect bullet hole with ZERO top hat changes or any other changes. The Match strings are an improvement over the Zebra, not sure how much of an improvement but they are better. They are thinner and they did settle very quickly and my peep locked in. So I just started shooting it for a few days. The bow has a very clean shot cycle, very clean release. With it all set up, the vibe/shock was mostly gone. I got used to the draw cycle being stiff. I never did like the lack of a valley. My style of shooting my hinge is to relax/elongate the palm of my hand and that style does not work well with a bow with no valley.
As I shot it, I realized the C mod was making me feel a bit long. I was not stable at full draw and could feel being a bit overextended. My shop still had the D mods, so I switched to them and now I was too short, feeling scrunched up. When I am scrunched up, I have hand torque. For me, having the draw length perfect is a huge issue, as I finally found out how well I shoot when my draw length is spot on. It matters hugely! So, sadly, I am caught between a D and C on this new Mathews cam and not comfortable at either. Note on the previous Mathews cam the D mod worked well for me). Yes, could I twist strings and/or remove the grip and/or fiddle with D loop length or even my release neck length (different releases) – yes I could do all of that to try and get the Lift 33 to fit my draw length. Since I have other bows I shoot well, I did not want to put that level of effort into the Lift, so I sold it/traded it. As long as Mathews runs this newest cam with the 1/2" draw length limits, I am probably out of luck with Mathews.
Conclusion, while I can't speak to the long term durability of the bow/cams, if your draw length fits one of the draw mods and if you are OK with no valley, this bow could be a great choice for you. Thank you.
Itโs a good bow but youโre being biased with your subjective opinion on the speed. Also you had a drop away on when other bows you are using a biscuit. And again get a new chrono.
Valley suuuucks on this bow. Things rarely go as planned in the elk woods and this thing is super jumpy with about a 1/4โ of room and itโs immediately tryin to run away on ya. Shot one this week and left with the Traverse I walked into the shop with.
IBO is 70# at 30" woth 350 grain arrow…always has been.
Fade to black, huh? Go back to 2015 and look at the Martin Lithium Pro.
Same scheme but fades from light camo to dark (almost black) camo
What a novel idea Mathews…lol
4.2 pounds is light ????
My 2009 Rytera Alien X is 3.5 lbs amd 340 fps.
