Got one for Christmas and so far I’m loving it! Definitely requires some tuning that I’m not able to do, but I’ll be taking it to a local shop and it will cost me $60, which is still insanely cheap considering everything included in the set. After I tune it, I’m going to try hog hunting with it
Honestly, almost got one of these as my first bow, but seeing as I was going to use mine specifically for hunting, I was steered toward a better brand and ended up going with the Bear Cruzer G2. Although I’m sure there is nothing wrong with this bow, I just wanted opt for something more durable.
@ I love it, Bro! I know it’s a little more pricey than the one that you did a review on but my dad always told me you get what you pay for lol but as I said, I’m planning on using mine for hunting so I needed something more durable
@@c-breezy307 I am curious what do you mean by more durable? Have you seen issues with any of these or are you saying you just wanted something that you could for sure go to a pro shop and have them look at?
@ basically the latter! I just wanted something that I could confidently take away pro shop to get help with if I needed to! I have heard most Bose like the one you reviewed in this video. A pro shop will not even look at, but I’m not even sure about that.
For my first bow I’m going for the mathews lift x, rather pay little more for something that I can use for a lot longer as opposed to buying a new bow as I progress
@ lol, I’ve only shot like a dozen arrows on a Chinese bow at my nearest archery range… the moment the felt the click on the release and that arrow hit the target… I was hooked… that’s why I decided to go all in…
That snub nose (is always being sold/showed as a "stabilizer", but it is in fact a vibration dampener. Dont care what any dumbass bowstore salesman is telling you. Look at the design of it. It cant stabilize anything that has teh weight of a compound, how is it supposed to with its puny weight.. Its a frigging bulimic "stabilizer" trying to fight a heavy weight boxer... Yea its not gonna win... and its too "wobbly"ish. Try and steer a canoe without the stabilizer in the bottom of the boat if its broken (bendy), try to enter a womans love cave if your.... is limb :P Its clearly meant for some kind of vibration (soft and bendy and rubberish). Dont understand how bowstores are still lying to ppl and relay the word "hodor its a stabilizer hodor!" You gotta get it! "Get that spreeead! You gon' hit e'rythang if you get that spreeead!" .... Wut? They are simply a waste of resources imho. Would have loved a better rest or a spare string instead, anything :D But they tring to make it look cool and they know ppl know "stabs" from OL in the 70's... So they thinking they gonna be Robin Hood and look like Rambo bc of that "stabilizer". Btw if you set the pins from the "other direction" (having all the pins in the bottom, and then using the top pin as the nearest target, and then pins below are further and further range. Then you get more range out of your sight (bc now you can use the lower parts of the window), and also better sight picture bc pins wont be "in the way". Imho, I would just yeet 3-4 of the pins, and use only one or two bc you're a hunter and a beginner compound archer. No need for the other pins disturbing your learning or your hunt down the road. And I also absolutely hate attachable bowquivers. They are ugly, make your bow heavier/more jittery'er (is that a word even?), and you have to always have it on when shooting (so whats the point of it being detachable?) or your arrows will lose their tune bc the quiver + arrows are literally affecting the tune. So you tune the bow with quiver AND full arrows in it. Soooo now you prob thinking.... what halfway through your hunt... You lost 3 of the arrows... Now the 4th arrow isnt gonna shoot the same way as number 1, 2 OR 3rd arrow. Its stupid/lazyness imho. And they make your intendedly designed short bow (short ATA, for hunt optimisation)... into a longer bow... potentially gripping more branches and stuff now... And countering the benefits of the design leaving you with only the disadvantages... And lastly I dont like how you can feel the weight now pulling the bow to the right on the vertical axis. Then you have to get a side stab on the other side and now you definitely gonna hit branches and scare away the deer.
@@DK_HAXX I agree with most of this. I will definitely just take some pins off. Honestly I'm quite impressed with what they send for the price! That being said I haven't tried a expensive option yet. Being new to it all I think this is a great way to start. Now if only it wasn't 10 degrees outside so I could shoot this thing without freezing haha!
@@fernfieldfarmsHomestead I see, my bad, didnt know how "new" you were, didnt mean to come off as know-it-all.. Just wanted to share the basic tips to improve the basic experience/usage. And yea quality wise, the bow, I have no complaints either. Ive shot an Sanlida Osprey (hunting recurve) for a long time and also tried out the dragon compound but a little bit later so mine is x8 but looks like the same bow, and im also hugely satisfied with that. Even compared to my more expensive bows. I mean cant beat that price. And I still havent found any flaws or had failures and im like maybe 5 years into the recurve and 2 years into the compound. And I shoot almost everyday, at least a few rounds in the morning before work and then when I get home, and if im not too tired then again in the evening, and most weekends, and Im (sort of) abusing em. Leaving them in freeze (inside but still freezing temps) leaving em in the same space in the horrible heat during summer.. shooting inside, outside, in the rain, in the snow, in the sun. Ofc I make sure stuff is dry/clean etc before storing em, but I dont worry about the temps. I havent "looked back" since I got my eyes on the chinese (proper chinese brands) archery stores. I absolutely love their arrows aswell.. Good quality and so cheap.
Buddy, those words are not unrelated, they go hand in hand. A vibration dampening device helps to stabilize an object. Think rubber engine mounts, or shock absorbers on a car. They reduce vibration helping to stabilize the ride of the car. Exactly the same with the bow, it stabilizes the bow AFTER the shot, not before. There are millions of these examples in industry. Why would a company write vibration dampener when they could just use the shorter word. Stabilizer?
Yep, Santa brought me a Bear Cruzer G3 this year. Never shot any type of bow before, but I'm really enjoying learning on mine.😎

You too! Hope you are blessed this coming year!!!

How do you like the Bear? I will be shooting this a lot to see how much it holds up for sure

@@iammikail7299 what's the price tag on the Matthews? I imagine a lot more? Just curious
@ £1299.50 for the bow only.
@iammikail7299 dang that seems like a lot!!! In new to this world but man do they have to be so much haha
@ lol,
I’ve only shot like a dozen arrows on a Chinese bow at my nearest archery range… the moment the felt the click on the release and that arrow hit the target… I was hooked… that’s why I decided to go all in…
@ you can get something for half the price, like bear archery is a good mid range bow manufacture
