Ordered a shale 33 with bottomland limbs 3 days ago. Hearing mid March and I cannot wait. Gonna hit up a few TACs with it. Awesome overview and review as always.
Interesting speeds, I shot my hunting arrow , 435 grain at a 28” DL, 70 lbs and got 276 fps over a Garmin so what you got seems quite a bit high?? It is a smooth draw, back wall is great, factory grip is trash. Speed not even close to published.
@ 3 fps for 10 grain difference, generally 10 fps for a full inch. I guess it’s close. I shot this bow with the PSE DS 33 carbon and the RX-9 ultra as I want a longer ata, I’ve been in a 30 ata for 3 years and all my previous were 32-33 ata. The PSE shot my arrow (435) 277fps and the Hoyt shot 287, with the Lift at 276fps, same arrow same Garmin. Not that speed means everything but I was surprised based on the published speeds by all companies how much closer Hoyt was and how much faster it was than the Lift. Every DL will vary….All 3 of the bows have very smooth draw cycles and great back walls. The techs at my local bow shop also mentioned that with last years Lift, multiple guys had to re-tune their bows multiple times IE they won’t hold a tune?!🤷🏼♂️ added to which they had limb failures, not many but they still did.

That color combo is 🔥
Nice review mate got my lift x in shale coming next week in Australia 👌🏼
Thanks for watching. Goodluck with the new bow.
27 inch draw. Which one are you shooting? The 29.5 or the 33?
Me personally for a hunting bow, the 29.5
Actually goes to 31.5” draw

425gr arrow at 27” draw 274.9 is very close to 435gr arrow at 28” draw at 276? Why do my speeds seem high?

@@crabwalk1891 @ reasons for NOT holding TUNE.. Bad stringers or failing limbs...
