It's now obvious that we max'ed out the modern day compound bow a few years ago. These annual bow re-designs are grasping at consumer straws. But good on them for having amazing marketing. ...as always, solid review regardless.
One of those things that should’ve happened a decade or two again... good on them for thinking out of the box. I do agree with the annual “redevelopment’s”, they really should focus at making a superb model only every 3-5 years with continuous production.
I got flamed for saying that on a Hoyt video. I told them to make it faster and easier to shoot, or damn near weightless, drastic design changes or something more advanced. I think we have reached peak bow.
I’m not knocking Mattews bows but I invested in a new bow this year also and it wasn’t “discounted”. I purchased a Prime Nexus. It wasn’t great out of the box, in fact, it took some time to get it shooting. However, the Nexus is the best bow I’ve ever handled and had the pleasure to shoot. It is an awesome bow…gave up my Hoyt RX1.
If these bows were so rock solid and steady out of the box we wouldn’t see massive weight hung off in different directions to steady them. Just an observation.
Thank you Trail for the great information on the New Mathew Bow I'm looking at up dating my Bow its 18 year's old and works well. Once again you guys are on top of the new gear Thank You and God's Blessings on all your adventures
For a future video, I propose that you take the bow with 70 lb mods and back it down to 65 lbs and shoot it through a chronograph. Then switch out the mods to 65 lb mods and shoot it at 65 lbs through the same chronograph. I believe you will find that modern parallel limb bows do not suffer in efficiency by shooting them backed off from max. Others have done it with other manufacturers' bows but I would like to see it done on a switchweight bow.
I think I’ll be keeping my v3. If I want to use a hamskea trinity hunter pro rest, that pretty much cancels out me being able to take advantage of most these new features.
@@aion1752 it protrudes too far off the side of the bow to take advantage of the new quiver design mainly. I have a VXR and to get their old quiver to fit with my Hamskea rest I had to get their spacer kit to push the quiver out further. This new one fits even tighter than that old one, so it definitely would interfere. That being said this new design has me thinking about possibly going to the Matthew's style rest on my next bow in an effort to get all my weight more centered on the riser. Limb driven rests are the bomb though.
Can you believe that Mathews made a more "smooth", more "steady", more "rock solid", more "quiet", better looking bow than last year? I bet they are gonna do the exact same thing next year! Gotta love capitalism. Seems that this bow is the Mathews Traverse with some integral accessories.
How much better could it really be - all spec's aside. Hold and balance could easily come along with muscle memory on any bow. I'm not sure the technology is here to push an upgrade from the folks who just bought the "greatest" bow ever released by Matthews ...last year.lol. BUT..I do like that quiver.
I have the same sight, did u run into any problems with windage adjustments (left/right) with the sight being in the riser? I know they sell offset brackets but I was trying to avoid that.

Only Mathews can add a hole to the riser and call it “technology”. Lol

@@justinoffutt7712 how isnt it name another bow that has that its centers the weight more and keeps everything tighter its a good feature

@@jlipstraw45 hoyt did it last year so there's that
Best review I've seen so far.
Awesome thanks for watching Dallin!

Nice Perry! Thanks for watching!
Great review Trail, keep ‘em coming.
Thanks, will do!
Very informative, made my mind up... V3X-33!!!
Glad to hear it!

Lucky for me i have not bought a new bow in about 10 years. If it shoot half as good as people say I will enjoy my upgrade.

How so?

Ps: now that the Hamskea Epsilon has been released, do you plan on upgrading now?
What material is that that Trail has on his riser and shelf? Looks to be a noise dampener of some sort but looks different than felt
Dose the low pro quiver still work properly without the integrated rest?
I would be curious to hear about your stabilizer set-up.
Great feedback! We should be able to get that in the works for a youtube vid. Best of luck this season!
What stabilizers are you using??

couldn't get a Traverse in 75#s either
Awesome thx for posting.Happy hunting
Anyone know what range this is? Just moved to Vegas looks like a nice place to shoot.
How long are your stabilizers? Brand?
are you able to shoot any limb driven rest with the detachable low profile quiver?

Just got mine 2 weeks ago....ill never go back.
I like to see Mathews make a module to 90%letoff
blah blah blah....what is the true CHRONO SPEEDS?
Always at least 20 fps below manufacturers claim for some reason
