I think they should be weighed in a typical hunting setup and then compare how much heavier (percents) they are compared to the lightest. It should perhaps stay as a bonus category, as some people might like more weight, but the context would be great.
The let off adjustment on the era is a huge plus. 70-90% in 1% increments, and combined with the 1/4 inch draw length adjustments, you can really customize the draw cycle and hold to your liking.
Era also has the option to switch between cable stops, limb stops or both. Carbon One has the FlipDisc built in which is great. Era has the option for smooth mods (have them in my Verdict and they are great) but costs extra.
I owned a Omnia and everything was great about that bow except the sight picture! Cables in sight window bad no matter what we did! I just couldn’t gel with that so went to Bowtech.
Thanks for taking the time to do this review. I currently own an RX7 I've had for almost 1.5 yrs now, I've had my Era for for about 2 months now, and I owned a Carbon One for about 2 weeks right after release. I'm a Bowtech fan, so I really wanted to like it, but prefer the other 2 instead. If you are giving points for draw cycle, don't you NEED a category for fps/energy? That Era w/ Perf mods is probably 12 fps quicker than the Carbon One, and the RX7 another 2-4 fps faster than the Elite. Also, fully setup w/ similar accessories, my Era has somewhat less feedback than the RX7. Despite the tuning disadvantages of the Hoyt, once it's set for you, it's set, and the back/sidebar mounting locations of the Hoyt and Elite are MUCH better than the Bowtech.
Rx7 ultra all day. Comfort control shooting 50 plus arrows most days and still get excited like the first day of shooting after perfect tune. 80# 31 draw and its a lightweight rocket launcher.
I was always a fan of elite, but you are talking about the era being much faster with performance mods, well yeah it feels like 80 pounds . Elite use to have a really smooth easy draw cycle , well when they went for speed with these new cams, they totally sold out to an extremely stout draw cycle.
@@ShaneBolerHunting yep, definitely more hump in the draw, but it gives more options. Smooth mods still retain that Elite smooooth feeling. Win - win 😁
I'm an Elite shooter. But I would have picked the Bowtech as well. Bowtech are building some impressive bows right now. I'm also loving your more laid back approach this year. Not sure what you have changed, but you're content is really enjoyable this year. You and Tim are a good dynamic together as well.
Speed and gross weight of the bow should have higher importance than say something subjective like how the grip feels, especially when grips are changeable. It’s nice to have a light chassis so that you can add weight to balance and dampen the bow. Starting with a heavy riser limits that. Otherwise good comparison.
I think you should add speed, actually measured with actual hunting weight arrows. But awesome video! Please do more reviews like these. Target bows next? :D
Because they need to. I love the way their bow shoots, not saying it's the best, but in a subjective conversation, it's all personal preference. If mathews put out a carbon bow, I would check it out and absolutely consider buying that bow
@@TheManic.5-OHbut you wouldn’t consider buying a Hoyt carbon bow? They’ve only been producing them for over a decade. Your only interest in carbon is if it says Mathews on it - definite fanboy.
Would be interested to see a short video addressing what you like in a bow and what is important to you. You often throw out little bits and pieces here and there but an overall baseline for what you like may be helpful when other people compare your thoughts on a bow to what they are looking for.
Durability, Speed & Performance and weight should be categories. A big part of the Hoyt for me is that they dry fire their bows in a stress test. Now... how much of that is marketing hype, but still it's a selling point none the less. And performance is the other big thing. I'll trade performance during the shot for some vibration after the shot since these are mainly hunting bows. Personally I care less about vibration since it's after the shot, doesn't affect my arrow flight... unless you're arguing that force could have been in the arrow... then maybe. Categories that I feel are subjective: Grip and Fit and Finish. I'd personally swap those two for Durability and Speed/Performance.
I got a Bowtech carbon one off this review! It’s my favorite bow to date. Owned 5 Hoyt carbons and 4 PSE carbons. It’s not the lightest but excellent for an 30 inch axle to axle which I don’t usually like. String angle decent for 29/29.5 inch draw
I love the way you are doing these head to head reviews. I definitely want to buy the Carbon ERA from Elite but it’s still a bit out of my price range. Keep up the good work!
Josh!!! Omg lol please for the love of all things do a review and include the longer ata carbon bows (Mach 34)! I’d say the majority of your followers shoot 32-34 inch ATAs. It confused me when the last two reviews have only included 30” atas. I love your channel it’s BY FAR my favorite archery channel.
Hey Joshypo do the comparison with the smooth mod on the elite, much more comparable to comfort setting on bowtech, also Era is much faster with speed mod should be a factor, and Era is actually lighter than its aluminum brother should be a factor. Having said that love your stuff and keep it up
Did that bow fire unexpectedly when you were pulling the back wall or am I imagining things? 😂 you held your composure very well if that is what happened! Excellent content
I just feel like you can’t do a carbon bow review without PSE. They’re the only ones that make a carbon bow that actually makes sense because it’s light like carbon should be, I’m not bias on any brand of bow and it’s just picking them up that one makes sense as to why it’s carbon
What do they feel like on let down? Some are hard to let down like PSE and some are easier like bowtech. Just curious, some times you gotta do that and I’d like to not make a crap ton of noise.
I really enjoy your knowledge and talent you have. I have 10 grandkids coming up What is the proper way to get there draw length Thank you and God's Blessings
Haven't shot the other carbon bows but the rx7ultra I've been shooting for 8 months and once I got it tuned and shooting through paper perfect I've had the best time with it. Coming from v3x I noticed how much lighter and easier to hold on target it is. Makes a pop noise but man what a great bow. Picatinny with landslyde and epsilon. Still on factory strings and happy to blow budget.😊
Great vid always always a pleasure taking the time & watching & learning about the new products. If you have the time can you take a look at some of the premium target bows as well thanks MFJJ & all who is involved in the video production’s.
I shot Hoyt bows for almost 20 years and was partial to the carbon bows. But since I started shooting a Mathews bow, I'm over the whole carbon thing. 😀I know several guys that really like that new Bowtech carbon bow. Nice review!
Would agree with your decision because of the criteria except after shooting all 3 u showed I'd buy a PSE mach 1. If ata didn't matter than mach 34 wins
I have the RX7 Ultra, PSE LEVITATE, and just set up my new ERA. I tried the Carbon one. I could be wrong but it seems you favor Bowtech on must videos that you include that brand. But if it feels like you want to shoot it all day then it's probably the one for you. I say ERA is best A-Z I can shoot it all day.
Did something happen after the first shot with the rx7, or just a editing mishap ? First shot happens you smile then it cuts. comes back after with let’s try the rx7
Nice examination josh I’ve never shot 1 personally but great insight 👍 it would b nice to see a review on targets (3D) and the difference in brands etc
i would like to see more hunting specific categories, for example: full draw hold ability, efficiency, draw difficulty, hold ability, overall noise, hunting specific special features, weight, tree stand or blind maneuvering, etc.
I would be interested in speed comparisons at different arrow weights. i know you do the 350Gr. arrows, would be interesting to see if one bow is more efficient at different arrow weights and put that in the comparison.
too many companies post IBO ratings no one gets to begin with and then some are much slower when you shoot a 500grain hunting arrow. Not to mention I've found bow companies have overdrawn bows. My mathew's traverse and hoyt rx4 turbo draw just under 1/2" longer than advertised, while elite bows draw at dead nuts. Backyard bows does an excellent job of reviewing bows and of the bow's ive shot he describes them exactly as I would and he does a 500grain speed test with the same arrow to get a fair comparison of a bows speed with a realist hunting arrow.
Hey! Love your videos and these comparison videos. The thing I would add/not rate on these videos, is that the fit&finish. A camo on a bow will always look worse as finish than one color on a bow...so if we want to compare apples to apples I would not rate a camo bow(most of them will be dipped, and because of that will have disfiguration) in one category with a one colour sanded bow.
Great videos ! Very honest and rational critiques. I think a lot of people are surprised at the overall features of the bow techs. I’m in the market for one . Waiting to see if they ad the dead time feature to the hunting line next year
It’s pretty sad, no PSE that actually makes carbon bows. But yet mattews is on the list that doesn’t make a carbon bow. So yes I would say he leans towards some brands for sure, but his content is al so good. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
I really enjoy Mathews bows, still have my VXR. I think of they came out with a Carbon bow, it would be a great move and I think a lot of people would buy it. I wasn't too impressed with the Phase 4. I went to the Prime Revex 4 and I really like it! If Prime came out with a Carbon bow.. That would also hurt a lot of other manufacturers.
How about mentioning OEM documentation that the at home bow mechanic can use as reference materials? Is there specific manuals for that bow that none dealers can access?
Awsome videos! I think it would be great if you did another video just like this but with non flagship bows, and add in some different brands like Darton and maybe even Athens!
Would you ever do a review on the Bear Execute? The guys down at my local bow shop said Bear has finally made a flagship that can compete with the other big name aluminum bows. What do you think? FYI… I am having an internal struggle between the Era and CarbonOne. If I’m going to spend that kind of money, I want the best bang for my buck. Not even considering the Hoyt! Lol!
You forgot to mention the adjustable let off on the era. The quarter inch draw length adjustment and the options for smooth vs aggressive mods. It has the same adjustabilit any of the bows have if not more. Minus the integrate system. Would that not give it another point or two for special features?
I think what you didn’t consider on the Era is you can put limb or string stops plus the micro adjustable let off. The adjustability of the elite is next level.
Still at 999 for bow but alot of stuff to do without changing cams and such. I still shoot a 2012 bear legion with gas string and black gold sight with fuse 10 in stabilizer more in extras than bow but like the way it fills
Grip is so subjective I almost think it needs to be left off. FPS is measurable and can tell the shooter if the difference in feel is justifiable. A slow single cam would score off the charts in feel but the performance isn’t there for example. Lastly, how cool does the bow make you look in the tree. If you take a selfie and post on insta which bow will get the most likes. 😂
I Honesty feel fit and finish is the least important and shouldn't be as much of a factor, like for instance the weight of the bow is more important. Just my opinion tho. Good video either brother 👍👍
I own both an rx7 and a carbon one. Both nice bows. BUT. I like and shoot better with the rx7. Still playing with the carbon one. Haven’t had the best luck with it. Just ordered an era and a rx7 ultra I will let you know. I do have different rests and sights but I’m ordering all the same from here on out.
Hey josh, good video great review but alittle bias towards bowtech much? Tune ability i get it fit and finnish i get it, price eh in Canada not much difference. But honestly thats where it ends. I can't say much about the carbon era, never shot one.
First time commenting but I can’t help but wonder what would happen if you fully tuned both bows, took tags off and payed attention to chrono readings as well….only reason I say that is because the Elite has 2 different mods and that both feel completely different from each other….on top of all the other tunable features on both bows….to me, it would be very interesting to see if your opinion changes or is even stronger towards the carbon one…..just a thought…..
I do not like how the Omnia, Era and other new Elite bows have the cables in sight window! You can not tune it out on the 2 I have owned! If they fix that they may have one of best on market for cam features for sure. I owned both and just could not get use to it.
![Cody Johnson - I'm Gonna Love You (with Carrie Underwood) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yy9PuYMU29g/mqdefault.jpg)
I believe mass weight is an important category when comparing these carbon bows
Agree.
I think they should be weighed in a typical hunting setup and then compare how much heavier (percents) they are compared to the lightest. It should perhaps stay as a bonus category, as some people might like more weight, but the context would be great.
If weight is important, then let PSE in the contest.
@Steve they would've been if they made a 30" ata. He wanted it to be more of an apples to apple comparison.
The let off adjustment on the era is a huge plus. 70-90% in 1% increments, and combined with the 1/4 inch draw length adjustments, you can really customize the draw cycle and hold to your liking.

He’s a Mathew’s dude, they always are negative on hoyt since it’s their top competition..
Rx7 ultra all day. Comfort control shooting 50 plus arrows most days and still get excited like the first day of shooting after perfect tune. 80# 31 draw and its a lightweight rocket launcher.

Spoiler alert
The fact you're wearing a Hoyt shirt in the video and eliminate it first shows the unbiased nature of these reviews!
Hey it’s a great starting point for people to look at. But they need to do exactly what you did and try them out for themselves. Good video

Why would Matthews want to make a carbon bow? They make enough money off their fan boys selling cam mods and stabilizers.
Lol exactly, this is a fanboy we are watching..
@@micahdunleavy9227 he mainly shoots Bowtechs
Maybe because there is a market for carbon bows as well. It’s always nice to have options.
Because they need to. I love the way their bow shoots, not saying it's the best, but in a subjective conversation, it's all personal preference. If mathews put out a carbon bow, I would check it out and absolutely consider buying that bow

Should have added in a speed test as well! In order for Bowtech to compete it will need to be on performance, in which it will feel different.
Would love to know your opinion comparing Mach 34 EC2 vs Hoyt rx7 ultra!
Owned both and liked my PSE Mach 34 better! Not as dead in hand as the Hoyt but shot it better and liked the shim system exchange more.
Seems like lately you don’t even need to watch these. You already know the Bowtech is always going to win.
MFJJ you did a great review brother. Keep doing your thing.
I agree 100% with your decision. I shot all 3 bows and I thought the draw cycle on the Carbon 1 blows everything else away.
I love the way you are doing these head to head reviews. I definitely want to buy the Carbon ERA from Elite but it’s still a bit out of my price range. Keep up the good work!

Did you notice a difference with the string angles? I wear glasses and this matters greatly to me for setting peep height and head position.
Gotta love the de-rail on the Hoyt first shot…
Did that bow fire unexpectedly when you were pulling the back wall or am I imagining things? 😂 you held your composure very well if that is what happened! Excellent content
100% but we've all done it lol
Doesnt the elite have a option to add limb stops to the cams?
It is a really hard decision between the 2 best carbon bows. Unfortunately you don't have them there..... They are both made by PSE!
Awesome thank you for sharing this information.
I just feel like you can’t do a carbon bow review without PSE. They’re the only ones that make a carbon bow that actually makes sense because it’s light like carbon should be, I’m not bias on any brand of bow and it’s just picking them up that one makes sense as to why it’s carbon
The conductivity or, lack thereof compared to aluminium is a big reason for carbon on top of weight. The Elite is light too.
String angle and comfort at full draw are things I think you should add to your review.
What do they feel like on let down? Some are hard to let down like PSE and some are easier like bowtech. Just curious, some times you gotta do that and I’d like to not make a crap ton of noise.
I really enjoy your knowledge and talent you have. I have 10 grandkids coming up What is the proper way to get there draw length Thank you and God's Blessings
Haven't shot the other carbon bows but the rx7ultra I've been shooting for 8 months and once I got it tuned and shooting through paper perfect I've had the best time with it. Coming from v3x I noticed how much lighter and easier to hold on target it is. Makes a pop noise but man what a great bow. Picatinny with landslyde and epsilon. Still on factory strings and happy to blow budget.😊
What was the tuning process like? Did you have to get into shims?
Great vid always always a pleasure taking the time & watching & learning about the new products. If you have the time can you take a look at some of the premium target bows as well thanks MFJJ & all who is involved in the video production’s.
It would be super cool to see the bow your shooting while your shooting it, after all the video is about the bow correct?
You should also put weight as a category. Most important for a carbon bow comparison.
Bowtech on comfort mods, if so how about putting smooth mods on era?
I shot Hoyt bows for almost 20 years and was partial to the carbon bows. But since I started shooting a Mathews bow, I'm over the whole carbon thing. 😀I know several guys that really like that new Bowtech carbon bow. Nice review!
Ehhh Hoyt has gotten drastically better the last three years so you quit shooting them when they actually became worth it..
I like what your doing here!!
Please do a review on the elite Verdict.
Would agree with your decision because of the criteria except after shooting all 3 u showed I'd buy a PSE mach 1. If ata didn't matter than mach 34 wins
I think Elite wins.. but weight and arrow speed matters too. Please try these out too.
What happen on that first shot? The string came off the top cam.
I have the RX7 Ultra, PSE LEVITATE, and just set up my new ERA. I tried the Carbon one. I could be wrong but it seems you favor Bowtech on must videos that you include that brand. But if it feels like you want to shoot it all day then it's probably the one for you. I say ERA is best A-Z I can shoot it all day.
I was recently gifted a brand new Oneida Phantom. I guess I’ll work with that.
Awesome job!
Did something happen after the first shot with the rx7, or just a editing mishap ? First shot happens you smile then it cuts. comes back after with let’s try the rx7
Why not do the updated levitate from PSE? It’s close in axle the axle and unlike Hoyt actually changed some things.
Have to agree with you have shot all three and as for weight heavier is more stable to me
Nice examination josh I’ve never shot 1 personally but great insight 👍 it would b nice to see a review on targets (3D) and the difference in brands etc
i would like to see more hunting specific categories, for example: full draw hold ability, efficiency, draw difficulty, hold ability, overall noise, hunting specific special features, weight, tree stand or blind maneuvering, etc.
durability
Butter smooth. Good video.
I love my carbon 1
New subscriber. Why do you close your eyes when you shoot?
@podiumarcher do you ever get your beard hairs pulled out when you're shooting? I have a couple of times 😅
Why the peek at the top cam after drawing?
I would be interested in speed comparisons at different arrow weights. i know you do the 350Gr. arrows, would be interesting to see if one bow is more efficient at different arrow weights and put that in the comparison.

I hope so but I'm almost certain. EVERYONE says that in every review of the bowtech hunting bows "Please add the timelock feature"
@@thorwaldjohanson2526 fine tuning fixed heads with both those features would be insanely easy, we will have to wait and see! Fingers crossed
Lol honest…. Right….
Real speed using an arrow you can build based on your 30" draw length. Probably closer to ATA speed.
MFJJ hating on Hoyt and loving on Bowtech. Shocker!!
Bow tech and Mathew’s…
It’s pretty sad, no PSE that actually makes carbon bows. But yet mattews is on the list that doesn’t make a carbon bow. So yes I would say he leans towards some brands for sure, but his content is al so good. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
I’ve seen it said a couple of times now weight of the bow and what I would call hunting arrow speed
I really enjoy Mathews bows, still have my VXR. I think of they came out with a Carbon bow, it would be a great move and I think a lot of people would buy it. I wasn't too impressed with the Phase 4. I went to the Prime Revex 4 and I really like it! If Prime came out with a Carbon bow.. That would also hurt a lot of other manufacturers.
Would love to see the Mach34 in there. Best carbon bow on the market
I’d like to see a 1st bow buyer rate all 3 carbon and aluminum bows and see what they score them. That would be interesting
I was thinking beginning archer friendly
Mathew’s reps have said that carbon is inferior material for bow manufacturing, but when you don’t make one I guess you would say that
Very advanced review that would take way too much time, it would be cool if after tuning you could do a 40-50yd group test
How about mentioning OEM documentation that the at home bow mechanic can use as reference materials? Is there specific manuals for that bow that none dealers can access?
How bout a carbon prime bow? Along with mathews for next year.
Never owned a bowtech bc they don’t make one with a 24in draw length but it’s a nice bow
Awsome videos! I think it would be great if you did another video just like this but with non flagship bows, and add in some different brands like Darton and maybe even Athens!
I would have added weight and speed as categories.
I keep seeing higher level bows being shown off, will or could you also do a best budget bow of the year? For those getting into archery.
Which ones are made in USA?
I guess if you are not letting PSE in, you must be trying to determine second best?
Depends on who pays him the most money..
Would you ever do a review on the Bear Execute? The guys down at my local bow shop said Bear has finally made a flagship that can compete with the other big name aluminum bows. What do you think?
FYI… I am having an internal struggle between the Era and CarbonOne. If I’m going to spend that kind of money, I want the best bang for my buck. Not even considering the Hoyt! Lol!
You forgot to mention the adjustable let off on the era. The quarter inch draw length adjustment and the options for smooth vs aggressive mods. It has the same adjustabilit any of the bows have if not more. Minus the integrate system. Would that not give it another point or two for special features?
Is it just me or does that carbon 1 sound two times louder then the other two on the shot?
Personally I think the weight and speed rating are more important than the finish and back wall sound when buying a bow but that’s just me.
I was pulling for the bow tech lol
I think what you didn’t consider on the Era is you can put limb or string stops plus the micro adjustable let off. The adjustability of the elite is next level.
He also forgot that on the previous video where he gave the Omnia a 6 (over PSE's 7) in the special features section.
Plus 1/4" DL adjustment
Its your show but I think the score for features should be outside of the tuning.
Why dont you try the more adjustable bow from bear execute ???
Still at 999 for bow but alot of stuff to do without changing cams and such. I still shoot a 2012 bear legion with gas string and black gold sight with fuse 10 in stabilizer more in extras than bow but like the way it fills
Why not include the carbon levitate? The elite is 31.5 and pse 32
Grip is so subjective I almost think it needs to be left off. FPS is measurable and can tell the shooter if the difference in feel is justifiable. A slow single cam would score off the charts in feel but the performance isn’t there for example.
Lastly, how cool does the bow make you look in the tree. If you take a selfie and post on insta which bow will get the most likes. 😂
Hoyt wins then..
I know it was released in 2022, but you should have include the PSE Levitate. Good review though.
I Honesty feel fit and finish is the least important and shouldn't be as much of a factor, like for instance the weight of the bow is more important. Just my opinion tho.
Good video either brother 👍👍
What about the PSE Mach 34? Don’t even see it mentioned in the comments.
No PSE?
Forgiveness And speed
Why no PSE Kemosabe?😊
Because pse bows suck ass 😂
@@traditionalbowhunter5862 no current bow sucks ass, almost 100% of the time it’s the shooter.
Off topic… what release to you shoot? Looks awesome!! Back tension??
It's a Scott Sigma "thumb trigger"
Field and stream 2023 bow of the year did go to the xpedition x-lite. A review of the x-lite from the 🐐would be dope.
I own both an rx7 and a carbon one. Both nice bows. BUT. I like and shoot better with the rx7. Still playing with the carbon one. Haven’t had the best luck with it. Just ordered an era and a rx7 ultra I will let you know.
I do have different rests and sights but I’m ordering all the same from here on out.
Please add actual speed as a category
Maybe things like price or FPS could be a bonus points not a additional category?
Hey josh, good video great review but alittle bias towards bowtech much? Tune ability i get it fit and finnish i get it, price eh in Canada not much difference. But honestly thats where it ends. I can't say much about the carbon era, never shot one.
First time commenting but I can’t help but wonder what would happen if you fully tuned both bows, took tags off and payed attention to chrono readings as well….only reason I say that is because the Elite has 2 different mods and that both feel completely different from each other….on top of all the other tunable features on both bows….to me, it would be very interesting to see if your opinion changes or is even stronger towards the carbon one…..just a thought…..
I think Mathews will be releasing a carbon bow within the next year or two.
No pse ?
I do not like how the Omnia, Era and other new Elite bows have the cables in sight window! You can not tune it out on the 2 I have owned! If they fix that they may have one of best on market for cam features for sure. I owned both and just could not get use to it.
How about you add speed to that comparison, but do it with your hunting arrow instead of the IBO speed arrow.
