The companies are making it so. Mathews and Hoyt mostly. They’re pro shop only approach keeps these rashers shops open. It’s awesome. For some buyers I’m sure it drives them to other brands. But it’s ultimately a good thing.
I got into recurve at 20. Found it relaxing and helped me clear my mind. Was in the local archery shop nearly every rainy day when we couldnt work. Had a really top notch compound bow and sold it after having children figuring i didnt have time to drive to go shoot. Now owning a home in the woods with room to hunt and practice anywhere I've come back to archery. I didn't realize how much it ment to me until that first arrow flew again. Building a life gets in the way sometimes of the little thing's that make us happy. Archery is one of those things that brings me peace.
@@AussieArcher1234 I understand that. But don’t make it out like he’s gonna purchase another bow. It was about the experience and getting setup at a local shop. But to title it Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, which one did he buy? Is kinda false advertising.
I just want to say that I was in a big atv accident this year where I had to be life flighted. My bow was destroyed in the accident and a guy I've known for about 5 years now, that used to work at a archery shop near by and now works at scheels archery department, heard about it from my dad. He decided to go up to some of the top people at this scheels and tell them about my accident and how he wanted to help me out with a new bow. They said yes and scheels gave me a 2021 bow tech amplify which retails around $600-$750 and shoots way faster and has a way smoother draw cycle and more let off than my old bow which was a bear cruzer x that I had about $360 invested into it. I am so thankful for the help from scheels. The other thing that was destroyed in my accident was my Montana black gold ascent dovetail 5 pin sliding bow sight. And I called black gold and told them what happened and they said send it in and they would replace everything on it. The dang thing has a lifetime warranty and I always thought It was only for manufacturing defects but no black gold is here to take care of you guys so if you need a sight get a black gold and if you need a bow get a bowtech. And if you don't have an archery shop that you like to support hit up scheels all these people have been amazing and I'm truly blessed and grateful to be alive and to have all these things taken care of for me
Great consumer advice right there for literally anything you buy: if they are willing to help you as a customer when it's a difficult thing to solve, then they are worth your lifelong support.
13 years ago my mom and dad bought me a bear game over, I put in for bull every year since getting it, not once was I drawn. got rifle cow draw instead of archery. This year February 16th, on my dads last day alive not knowing at the time, I told him tomorrow is the draw results, I am getting your Bull you always wanted. At 800 am I checked my bank account bam got drawn for his Bull. 1000 am he passed away. I went out two days ago and purchased my Hoyt Ventum 33 27" draw length 70 pound pull. They guy at the shop was like you haven't even asked prices, I replied this is my pops hunt I don't care what it is just get me what I need. Friday I'm going deer, and September I will be on the only hunt he ever wanted but was never once drawn in his life for. I cannot wait to knock that bull down and get him his life long dream. Him not being there to see it is one of the most hardest things I am going through. This will be the first year he isn't with me and I want to make him smile from above.
Its awesome to see content with Kolby. So great to put a face and personality to a name, with someone i have bought products from and emailed back and forth with, providing great customer service. Love this type of content cuz i am an archery geek and love learning as much as i can! Been bow hunting for 8 years and just love everything about archery and shooting!
I’ve been going to Pelkey’s Archery Shop for over 30 yrs. It’s only 15 minutes south of my house. The previous owners George and Ron Pelkey are great guys. The new owner John and the staff are incredible. Always a great atmosphere and fun stopping in to visit. I wanted to meet you guys and shoot a little. I was bummed I missed out on the opportunity….. I’ve been shooting the Ultraview Hinge release all Summer and absolutely love it. Great video ! Thanks for showing our local Shop !!!
I have always been a Hoyt guy. I still love my Hoyt bows, however I was blown away by the Mathews V3 31. My son and a friend of mine and his son all bought Mathews V3 31. I helped set them up and I got to shoot my son's bow quite a bit. I fell in love with it and ordered one.
I agree with on being a Hoyt guy Also I getting my carbon RX4 turbo at the beginning of next year although I will have to try out the matthews line I like the vxr an the triaxe it will be a hard decision to make
I've owned and shot a Hoyt ,both in hunting and club competition, Excellent Bow. I have also hunted with the Oneida eagle and screaming eagle , very Smooth ,no pullies but actually too many moving parts, although I personally NEVER had an issue.. The last bow I hunted with was the Mathews Solo CAM , Super performance. I'm pretty certain just about any of the TOP Bows would be excellent.
I got a bowtech solution and I can’t say enough about it. I’ve shot Parker, pse, diamond, and Hoyt all side by side, and the Bowtech was the smoothest and best feeling in the hand. But to each their own! You choose what you like. So there really isn’t the best bow. It’s what you like.
Chris! On your tour, if you pass by Pennsylvania, you HAVE to stop by the Archery Addictions shop in Lehighton, PA. It is an incredible shop run by 2 guys. They are fair, honest, and my go to shop for any needs.
I remember trying out a a PSE Nova out at Pelkey’s when Novas came out. Great place as always, cool to see you all visiting places out East. St. Albans is a great place to get a maple creemee by the way.
Couldn't agree with this process more. Shot a Bear bow for a year and it was finally time to move to a flagship bow. I shot my friends Lifts/Phase 4s/TRX in all lengths. I went to the shop set on a Mathews. Shop owner recommended I try a Hoyt. Just felt right, fit me great, and I shoot it well. Left with the Hoyt.
Glad to see someone actually trying brands and going off of feel. In my OPINION I hate the Mathews draw cycle. I shoot a pse evo ntn. Smooth and dead in the hand. Not shot the evoke 35 but it did look like it was jumpy.
Pelkey's is top notch. I bought my first bow there and they let the bow pick me and didn't push me in a direction. Hope you had a good time in Vermont.
Yup, I agree I had a Diamond as a my first bow then just bought a Solution SD. It’s probably my favorite piece of hunting equipment. I shot both the Mathews v3 27 and the Solution SD. I just felt more comfortable with the Bowtech.
Shot nothing but Bowtech for years....gave upo on them after the 2ND one exploded in my hand. Them taking almost a full calendar year to get new limbs and cams to me didnt help either lol
Sweet bow Still shooting my Mathews Outback. Love that bow and have taken many moose and caribou with it. One day maybe I'll get to own a newer Mathews.
It's true about the Evolve cam when you are at the end of the draw adjustment. I'm at 29.5 and really love my Evoke 31 and especially the 35. Having said that, I had an Evolve 35 and set it up for the guy I sold it to, at the A setting, and HOLY COW it gets aggressive at the end! Unless I was after speed, I don't know that it would have bought it if I was at the end of the cam and that's where I shot it at the shop.
UV posted on insta 2 pictures of my bow from TAC Tennessee with my UV3 mounted on a Fast Eddie XL…it fits great and installed easy. Try a PRIME they are Michigan boys!
Glad to see the Gail Martin picture pop up in a heavily Matthews biased video. I get it that you're a Matthews pro staffer and your job it to represent and push the brand but at least he shot other brands and compared before deciding on the Matthews.
Hey Chris! We met at Reedy’s in Middelboro, MA during the UV Tour. My V3 came in two days ago! No more BowTech! Looking forward to seeing you next year on the next tour. Maybe when you’re back in town I’ll help the gang out with their golf swings.
In Australia we aren't as fortunate to have pro bow shops on every corner. When I first started I went to a pro shop with 3 k in cash of slave laboured money from bricklaying in my pocket dead keen on a brand new hoyt. Long story short i got no help and was treated like a tyre kicker. I walked out with all my money and moved a hour down the road to a small Mathew's dealership. To this day I love the service and quality Mathew's provide. I love my hunting and atm currently using a second hand Mathew's creed xs which I love and always dream of the day I can set up a new bow of yoall calabre. Been watching how you set up your bows for years and have not seen a better and more simplified way. Can't find anyone in Australia that takes the time and care that you guys over there do. Would love to do a trip one day and get the ultimate set up. Love your videos very inspiring keep it reel bee
Hoping to see yall hit Chag's Archery in Metarie, LA. Guy named Sammy Romano works there, is the most knowledgeable, helpful person I've ever met and has setup a few of my Mathew's and I'll only go to him no matter the drive.
Hey man bought my first bow a couple weeks ago. Bought a cheaper one and wanting to upgrade after Christmas and give the one I have now to my wife so she can shoot with me. Where do you recommend going in Nebraska or surrounding states I can try different bows out and get some professional assistance. Thanks for all the videos and keep it up. I have learned a lot from you in a short amount of time. Keep it up so people like me can keep learning! 🔥
eBay, all set and done. After new strings and setup to fit me. $350. So many good bows out there for practically nothing. Even came with a hard case. Don’t need something new and shinny for 1000’s of dollars. Especially will times these days. Works great!!
I've had my Mathews TX-5 for couple of years now and I still love it.... I can't really find a good reason to get a new bow just.... and if I do upgrade I'll probably look into a Helix turbo just because I've tried it and it's a beast of a bow.... and it's really feel right shooting it....
What is your detailed opinion on the zebra strings? I have the V3 bow and I’m thinking replacing them because servings are the cams are not to my liking
I would love to see you review an APA king cobra or black mamba! I think your 400 yard challenge would become a success with a king cobra DG and it’s Guinness time!
Bro i live near reedys archery and bought a mathews vxr there thats all he carries is mathews for bows really nice guy knew him from when i was a kid...
That's funny. That catalogue came out eight years after I bought my last bow and my cousin was an olympic archer in the late seventies and was sponsored by Hoyt. He was going to compete in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow but the US boycotted them. Oh well.
YESSSSS!!! Chris, i need your help, what is the target you have at the end of your garden? the black circle with a red square in the middle? i want one haha
Well, I’d like to say, nice program. Chris you’re a true champion of the sport. Keep doing what you love. Chris, I have a question & hopefully you can help me out. I started shooting at age 9. Had a bow built for me by two great archers of my time. They coached me at a young age. I shot in target competition only once & only shot for 10 years and got out of it. I received a write up in the newspaper for the only target competition I was able to shoot that particular year. I could put an arrow into another arrow at will on every shot at 20 yards. No joke. I would have shot a perfect 300, but my adoptive dad couldn’t stand the fact I was a better shot them him startled me on one shot. Making me jump as a I released the arrow & it was done intentionally and with malice. But, my question to you is? We don’t have many options where I live. I am 👀 looking for a great hunting bow. I’ve been out of the game for 25 years. Name two for me. In my day, Terry Ragsdale was the man. Chris, you’re almost there man. Nice show, man.
bkg2213. I recently began shooting a Ritual 33 after shooting Pse Bows for like 10 years. The Evolve 35 was/is a great bow but the Ritual is so positively different for me. Seems like everything was designed to fit me lol.
@@timbow50 I heard the Ritual was an excellent bow. Smooth and just a pleasure to shoot. I was looking for one myself but landed on my Remedy. Absolutely love it. Still would like to have a Ritual 35.
I’ll admit that I got a Mathews V3 31 because of Chris. I only been doing archery for a month and started with a Bear Legit. Great beginning bow and very easy adjustable. But knowing me I wanted something better and returned the bear and just went straight to the V3 and very happy with it. You definitely can feel the difference. My next bow prob be a Hoty or a Bowtech.
I used to shoot a Hoyt I put my bow down for about 7 years I moved to Iowa and said i was going to pick up hunting again walked into a shop started shooting some bows tried Mathews Bow tech couple others walked in figuring I'd buy a Hoyt But walked out with Mathews phase 4 absolutely ridiculous bow
And that affects you how? Stop having the “must be nice” attitude and work toward your goals and maybe one day you’ll be there to, instead of complaining about others success.
After being f*ckn schooled by Cam Hanes' book about "must be nicers", I reflected back on my comment. Just to be clear, I never doubted that these guys deserved to do everything they're doing in this video. I thought I was just stating an objective fact and maybe felt a little envious after spending so much time trying to build the best possible bow on a very tight budget. But I now feel like that type of comment doesn't acknowledge the amount of work and dedication that it takes to reach the level these guys are at. So yeah, I take it back. Thanks Rylan for standing guard!
I just bought a bow recently nyself.....it picked me.....I shot a elite...a mathews....a expedition.....and a bear divergent eko.....I left with the divergent......thanks 4 content
More I watch these videos more I want to start shooting a bow again. Before I switched to a crossbow I was shooting a to short draw by a couple inches. Now knowing I need like a 32" draw, it's making it more difficult. I ground blind hunt and not sure how well that would work with these long bows for that draw. And not many option but they are all super expensive. Plus bum shoulder, not sure how much better it will feel if i at least get something with correct draw length.
When I seen them put the grip on the Mathews bow I already knew they picked Mathews. Dude with 31” draw is really limited. If it was an average guy I feel he would have been able to shoot a few more bows.
@@javoncarter1281 I’ve got the amplify, first bow I bought. I really enjoy it, it maxes out at 30” DL though. Not sure what all bowtech bows go to 31”.
I got a new bowtech revolt Wt a hamskea rest. And I shoot Easton axis arrows. I knew he would get a mathews..I have the spot Hogg fast Eddie xl double pin great sight
Question - how does a lefty find a bow to shoot? In the northeast, lucky to find a pros shop that has a lefty bow, much less find one in a 30 inch or +30 draw length. Most don’t carry them… Most of the time, I end up drawing a RH bow lefty just to feel the draw cycle. Not spending $1,200 on a “guess”. Recognize I’m in the minority. Not limited to bows, sights too. As an example, Trophy Ridge offers several of their best sights in RH only. Tough to support them..
Damn man... wish I'd seen you were coming to New England...I'd have stopped in and said what's up... Vt has a few good shops, sales tax is a deal breaker for me...
Love what you two do.. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Also what's the closest UV dealer to Monroe Michigan? Which is literally 30min from the Ohio border so any in Michigan or Ohio??
I am not saying I am a expert but I like a bigger peep when hunting then when shooting target because hunting you might have that animal walk in 10 minuets after legal sunset
As I live more than 8 hours from my local pro shop Mathews would never ever enter my mind as a genuine option to purchase. Module specific bow are just out of reach for me and are not a practical option.
1/8th or 5/32" is optimum for the human eye. Larger peep hole will not let more light into the eye. It's the way it's built. And we all knew it was gonna be a Mathews. GO FIGURE. THIS guy can shoot anything anyway so it doesn't matter. Helps Chris out though.
Wants to buy a hunting bow do your home work. PSE carbon bow mark 1. I carry one all all day and never get tired don't have to hang mine on my back.3.2 to 3.5 pounds hard to beat hiking miles in,80 % to 90%let off one of the best back walls.I thought the video was kind of unfair to other brands , I hear the Elite has one of the best bows this year the Kure was super stable very accurate last year. Chris to much smack about other companys you never know when you might leave like John D always leave the door open.Heavy bows are more stable but are a pain to haul miles.But then your a whitetail hunter walk to your tree stand so a heavy bow Is ok. But western hunting Is a lot more work a heavy bow can break you...
I dont think you go hunt with the bare bow ... Full setup - 3.5 pounds ??? no way ! But ok - its lighter than the Aloy stuff. Anybody should shoot what he want. I had an Carbon Deviant Turbo . Draw was an absolute Nightmare !. Hydrodip is not the best !(Vector from 2012 same ). But what realy fu..ed me up on the Hoyt - the Vector what i had for 10Years has problems with the Braket for the Quiver . On the Carbon Deviant i had the same to. This Stuff is faar away from - good fitting !!!😂 So for me - never again a Hoyt..For this Money ....nope thx...
@@ochi5.56 pse bow Is 3.2 pounds my other carbon bow pse Is 3.4 add a vapor trail rest at 2.9 oz and a black gold ascent site at 9.2 oz now you can get black gold lite at8.0oz just came out last year , I have best lightest quiver for a bow made six arrow. but not mounted on the bow when hunting. I have a day pack that the straps hold the quiver In place on my right shoulder Its amazing easy to pull arrows out . 4.4 pound total bow weight hell If I got the black gold lite sight from 2020 for a bow or less depends what carbon bow i use....2016 or 2020 model pse.......this bow has no trouble out to 80 yards I use Victory vap 400 they cut thru the air like a knife one of the best arrows made ever........
@@ochi5.56 Most compounds shoot 80 to 100 yds now np. Just practice a lot at long range 80 to 100s and thirty yards are chip shots, I love Victory vap elite 400 arrows its there the best a little expensive 167.00 a dozen ....Some times ebay has a super great deal at 155.00 per dozen witch Is hard to find. Got a ton of them...
He can’t but if he could he would still say Mathews is better, and from my personal experience I shot all the bows for this year and the 2 best feeling to me were the prime nexus 4 and the Mathews v3 31, I went with the v3 31. All bow companies make great bows it all comes down to personal feel
@@robertminckler804 the Nexus 4 is such a great shooting bow. I shot it side by side with the V3 31 and liked the 4 a bit better. But yes most every company has outstanding bows this year. Even Hoyt completely changed what they were doing. It'll be interesting to see what the next 2 years bring as this year seemed like a "refinement" year for platforms.
Haha, it was a forgone conclusion that he was going to get the Mathews. Which shop in its right mind would let you peel off the grip and put a custom one on there, unless it was already bought and paid-for?? Me? I'm a Bowtech man.
The v3 max do is 30.5. He said he is 31.25 dl. No way he should be getting a v3 IMO. I know because I wanted a v3 but I’m a 31 dl and had to get the ventum 33, which I love.
I love seeing small archery shops that can stay open during the Amazon and direct to consumer age. Some of that nostalgia is really cool man!
The companies are making it so. Mathews and Hoyt mostly. They’re pro shop only approach keeps these rashers shops open. It’s awesome. For some buyers I’m sure it drives them to other brands. But it’s ultimately a good thing.
As a buyer there's nothing like a well staffed, physical shop.

He was gonna choose a Mathews before he stepped foot in that shop.
I thought the same thing
Sponsorship , what else would he get, it .. It was about the shop, The service, the People who own it, not the bows..
@@AussieArcher1234 I know, but I just thought it would be cool to see something different
@@AussieArcher1234 I understand that. But don’t make it out like he’s gonna purchase another bow. It was about the experience and getting setup at a local shop. But to title it Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, which one did he buy? Is kinda false advertising.

I have a 31.75 draw length
Your the one that got me in to bow hunting, thank you
Always good to support the smaller and local archery shops? Great stuff as usual
I just picked up a new EVL from Pelkeys! Great group of guys!
Love the EVL just got mine and it's brilliant.
Yeah I’m really impressed with mine. I’m coming from a VXR and in my opinion it’s way more forgiving.
Need to take a tripto shelby forrest archery in millington tn. Awesome guy. He might know him he shoots for mathews in the senior category
I feel duped! 😀😀Why would he pick anything but a Mathews…with Chris looking over his shoulder. And aren’t his target bows Mathews?
This is truly a great shop. They donate their time to help local scout troops with archery. Straight up real community building shop
Finally another post!!!
Hoping to see yall hit Chag's Archery in Metarie, LA. Guy named Sammy Romano works there, is the most knowledgeable, helpful person I've ever met and has setup a few of my Mathew's and I'll only go to him no matter the drive.
Cool to see videos from the Ultraview shop tour making it to RUclips. Maybe you guys can shoot VT TAC next year.
This is my home town shop! Been shopping here for 20 years. Glad you enjoyed it they are the best!
I've been checking your channel for new uploads several times a day.
like the bow shop vid
Hey man bought my first bow a couple weeks ago. Bought a cheaper one and wanting to upgrade after Christmas and give the one I have now to my wife so she can shoot with me. Where do you recommend going in Nebraska or surrounding states I can try different bows out and get some professional assistance. Thanks for all the videos and keep it up. I have learned a lot from you in a short amount of time. Keep it up so people like me can keep learning! 🔥
Ofc he shot the worst pse on the market should've shot the EVO EVL
Great little shop, very user friendly! Like any other small shop though, do your business well before the season!😁
eBay, all set and done. After new strings and setup to fit me. $350. So many good bows out there for practically nothing. Even came with a hard case. Don’t need something new and shinny for 1000’s of dollars. Especially will times these days. Works great!!
I've had my Mathews TX-5 for couple of years now and I still love it....
I can't really find a good reason to get a new bow just.... and if I do upgrade I'll probably look into a Helix turbo just because I've tried it and it's a beast of a bow.... and it's really feel right shooting it....
Awesome video! Pelkey's is my go-to pro shop and has been since my first bow back in about 98.
Need to try pse evl or mach 1
What is your detailed opinion on the zebra strings? I have the V3 bow and I’m thinking replacing them because servings are the cams are not to my liking
I would love to see you review an APA king cobra or black mamba! I think your 400 yard challenge would become a success with a king cobra DG and it’s Guinness time!
Bro i live near reedys archery and bought a mathews vxr there thats all he carries is mathews for bows really nice guy knew him from when i was a kid...
wow, St. Albans is up there in VT.
That's funny. That catalogue came out eight years after I bought my last bow and my cousin was an olympic archer in the late seventies and was sponsored by Hoyt. He was going to compete in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow but the US boycotted them. Oh well.
YESSSSS!!! Chris, i need your help, what is the target you have at the end of your garden? the black circle with a red square in the middle? i want one haha
The red square is the morrell high roller. I forgot what the black circle was called
Finally another vid. Love the intro!
Well, I’d like to say, nice program. Chris you’re a true champion of the sport. Keep doing what you love. Chris, I have a question & hopefully you can help me out. I started shooting at age 9. Had a bow built for me by two great archers of my time. They coached me at a young age. I shot in target competition only once & only shot for 10 years and got out of it. I received a write up in the newspaper for the only target competition I was able to shoot that particular year. I could put an arrow into another arrow at will on every shot at 20 yards. No joke. I would have shot a perfect 300, but my adoptive dad couldn’t stand the fact I was a better shot them him startled me on one shot. Making me jump as a I released the arrow & it was done intentionally and with malice. But, my question to you is? We don’t have many options where I live. I am 👀 looking for a great hunting bow. I’ve been out of the game for 25 years. Name two for me. In my day, Terry Ragsdale was the man. Chris, you’re almost there man. Nice show, man.
my day gets better when chris bee post
Elite Remedy? Smooth no vibration. Should have tried one!
I love my Remedy! Super sweet shooter!
bkg2213. I recently began shooting a Ritual 33 after shooting Pse Bows for like 10 years. The Evolve 35 was/is a great bow but the Ritual is so positively different for me. Seems like everything was designed to fit me lol.
@@timbow50 I heard the Ritual was an excellent bow. Smooth and just a pleasure to shoot. I was looking for one myself but landed on my Remedy. Absolutely love it. Still would like to have a Ritual 35.
I bought a Mathews V3X 2022 bow from Pelkey’s that’s awesome
what would be a good long lasting survival bow ?
I’ll admit that I got a Mathews V3 31 because of Chris. I only been doing archery for a month and started with a Bear Legit. Great beginning bow and very easy adjustable. But knowing me I wanted something better and returned the bear and just went straight to the V3 and very happy with it. You definitely can feel the difference. My next bow prob be a Hoty or a Bowtech.
I was hoping you’d make it here to Vermont but didn’t expect this so quick lol
I used to shoot a Hoyt I put my bow down for about 7 years I moved to Iowa and said i was going to pick up hunting again walked into a shop started shooting some bows tried Mathews Bow tech couple others walked in figuring I'd buy a Hoyt But walked out with Mathews phase 4 absolutely ridiculous bow
If your going to the Midwest like southern illinois area u need to stop by Rend Lake sporting goods.
Love this show. Great concept. Keep up the great work.
When you lived in Michigan, where did you go? Adams archery?
Welcome to uv dealer tour where it's a giant UV and Matthews promotion
I have a Hoyt defiant turbo I got from pelkeys. Great place very friendly
How nice must it be to walk into a bow shop a build a new bow from scratch without looking even once at a price tag...
And that affects you how? Stop having the “must be nice” attitude and work toward your goals and maybe one day you’ll be there to, instead of complaining about others success.
After being f*ckn schooled by Cam Hanes' book about "must be nicers", I reflected back on my comment. Just to be clear, I never doubted that these guys deserved to do everything they're doing in this video. I thought I was just stating an objective fact and maybe felt a little envious after spending so much time trying to build the best possible bow on a very tight budget. But I now feel like that type of comment doesn't acknowledge the amount of work and dedication that it takes to reach the level these guys are at. So yeah, I take it back. Thanks Rylan for standing guard!
The funny thing is I was watching your video of when you neck shot the turkey last fall when you uploaded.
I just bought a bow recently nyself.....it picked me.....I shot a elite...a mathews....a expedition.....and a bear divergent eko.....I left with the divergent......thanks 4 content
You need to visit The Spot Archery in Fresno, CA
Need to stop by curtsingers in Danville ky it’s a great shop
Prime needs to be on the list
More I watch these videos more I want to start shooting a bow again. Before I switched to a crossbow I was shooting a to short draw by a couple inches. Now knowing I need like a 32" draw, it's making it more difficult. I ground blind hunt and not sure how well that would work with these long bows for that draw. And not many option but they are all super expensive. Plus bum shoulder, not sure how much better it will feel if i at least get something with correct draw length.
When I seen them put the grip on the Mathews bow I already knew they picked Mathews. Dude with 31” draw is really limited. If it was an average guy I feel he would have been able to shoot a few more bows.
Ya and they picked the worst bow tech bow there is
@@javoncarter1281 I’ve got the amplify, first bow I bought. I really enjoy it, it maxes out at 30” DL though. Not sure what all bowtech bows go to 31”.
I got a new bowtech revolt Wt a hamskea rest. And I shoot Easton axis arrows. I knew he would get a mathews..I have the spot Hogg fast Eddie xl double pin great sight
Question - how does a lefty find a bow to shoot? In the northeast, lucky to find a pros shop that has a lefty bow, much less find one in a 30 inch or +30 draw length. Most don’t carry them…
Most of the time, I end up drawing a RH bow lefty just to feel the draw cycle.
Not spending $1,200 on a “guess”.
Recognize I’m in the minority. Not limited to bows, sights too. As an example, Trophy Ridge offers several of their best sights in RH only. Tough to support them..
Reedys Archery Middleboro, MA. Tons of lefties in stock. Bought my lefty V3 there.
You’ve got to make a stop at Votruba Archery in Fairview KS! Casey is fantastic and used to shoot for Mathews. Check him out!
I just bought a bear bow never owned one before but it was the easiest bow to set up from my Hoyt and my bowtech the bow shoots really good
Bowtech looked and sounded better than the Matthews. Seemed more comfy
Hoping you guys shot a video at hit or miss here in NM!
i bought a bow there , they were very helpful. . i will go back
Damn man... wish I'd seen you were coming to New England...I'd have stopped in and said what's up...
Vt has a few good shops, sales tax is a deal breaker for me...
Come on over to oregon visit the bowtech factory and just 20 mins north is the Spot Hogg factory!!
Personally I'd go to the bow rack if you're in the area
Love what you two do.. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Also what's the closest UV dealer to Monroe Michigan? Which is literally 30min from the Ohio border so any in Michigan or Ohio??
Chris i was wonder if a ultraview fit on a redline RL2?
I saw a picture of Gail Martin there, but no Martin bows? LOL let's be honest we know what bow he was going to pick. 😁
I am not saying I am a expert but I like a bigger peep when hunting then when shooting target because hunting you might have that animal walk in 10 minuets after legal sunset
Please if you come to Wisconsin look at Bucks and Bulls archery out of stevens Point.
As I live more than 8 hours from my local pro shop Mathews would never ever enter my mind as a genuine option to purchase. Module specific bow are just out of reach for me and are not a practical option.
1/8th or 5/32" is optimum for the human eye. Larger peep hole will not let more light into the eye. It's the way it's built. And we all knew it was gonna be a Mathews. GO FIGURE. THIS guy can shoot anything anyway so it doesn't matter. Helps Chris out though.
Thats my home town bow shop!!! Great place!!
Wants to buy a hunting bow do your home work. PSE carbon bow mark 1. I carry one all all day and never get tired don't have to hang mine on my back.3.2 to 3.5 pounds hard to beat hiking miles in,80 % to 90%let off one of the best back walls.I thought the video was kind of unfair to other brands , I hear the Elite has one of the best bows this year the Kure was super stable very accurate last year. Chris to much smack about other companys you never know when you might leave like John D always leave the door open.Heavy bows are more stable but are a pain to haul miles.But then your a whitetail hunter walk to your tree stand so a heavy bow Is ok. But western hunting Is a lot more work a heavy bow can break you...
I dont think you go hunt with the bare bow ... Full setup - 3.5 pounds ??? no way ! But ok - its lighter than the Aloy stuff. Anybody should shoot what he want. I had an Carbon Deviant Turbo . Draw was an absolute Nightmare !. Hydrodip is not the best !(Vector from 2012 same ). But what realy fu..ed me up on the Hoyt - the Vector what i had for 10Years has problems with the Braket for the Quiver . On the Carbon Deviant i had the same to. This Stuff is faar away from - good fitting !!!😂 So for me - never again a Hoyt..For this Money ....nope thx...
@@ochi5.56 pse bow Is 3.2 pounds my other carbon bow pse Is 3.4 add a vapor trail rest at 2.9 oz and a black gold ascent site at 9.2 oz now you can get black gold lite at8.0oz just came out last year , I have best lightest quiver for a bow made six arrow. but not mounted on the bow when hunting. I have a day pack that the straps hold the quiver In place on my right shoulder Its amazing easy to pull arrows out . 4.4 pound total bow weight hell If I got the black gold lite sight from 2020 for a bow or less depends what carbon bow i use....2016 or 2020 model pse.......this bow has no trouble out to 80 yards I use Victory vap 400 they cut thru the air like a knife one of the best arrows made ever........
@@davislong9476 no stabi for 80y groups ? What poundage do you shoot and tell me more about your arrows ? Head ,insert , weight and so on .
@@ochi5.56 Most compounds shoot 80 to 100 yds now np. Just practice a lot at long range 80 to 100s and thirty yards are chip shots, I love Victory vap elite 400 arrows its there the best a little expensive 167.00 a dozen ....Some times ebay has a super great deal at 155.00 per dozen witch Is hard to find. Got a ton of them...
I am 74. Now hunter since 80. Hoyt, Hoyt, bowtec , bowtec, bowtec, Hoyt, and my best ever, V3 !!!
You should do a review on the new Hoyt bows and compare them to your Mathews
That's not allowed, he shoots for Mathews...
He can’t but if he could he would still say Mathews is better, and from my personal experience I shot all the bows for this year and the 2 best feeling to me were the prime nexus 4 and the Mathews v3 31, I went with the v3 31. All bow companies make great bows it all comes down to personal feel
@@robertminckler804 the Nexus 4 is such a great shooting bow. I shot it side by side with the V3 31 and liked the 4 a bit better. But yes most every company has outstanding bows this year. Even Hoyt completely changed what they were doing. It'll be interesting to see what the next 2 years bring as this year seemed like a "refinement" year for platforms.
@@the_sharp_carpenter I 100% agree this year all company’s took last years bow and made it better and I’m very excited for what is to come.
Haha, it was a forgone conclusion that he was going to get the Mathews. Which shop in its right mind would let you peel off the grip and put a custom one on there, unless it was already bought and paid-for?? Me? I'm a Bowtech man.
.....man...really disappointed he ain't coming out to Cali....!🐝😪
Great video Though!
If you want to see the one of the first Mathews bows go to Odells Archery in Collinsville Alabama and please tell me if you do
The v3 max do is 30.5. He said he is 31.25 dl. No way he should be getting a v3 IMO. I know because I wanted a v3 but I’m a 31 dl and had to get the ventum 33, which I love.
'93 is "OLD old"... dam. Thats the year I started High School...
