I snagged a LIFT 33, I love it! I chose this over the Alpha x because I liked the draw better which is more consistent and it eases into a rock solid backwall.
Nice video. I have watched so many videos of guys shooting a 29.5 vs 33 and almost every single time you can see how hard the 29.5 dumps into the back wall. The whole bow jars so much more and makes it hard to settle in. I shot both at my shop and immediately knew the 33 was the way to go for me. That bow is about as smooth and steady as it gets.
It's because the lift 29.5 @ 30 inch draw is maxed out anytime you max a bow out in draw length it dumps harder the lift 33 maxes @ 31.5 inch so it wasn't at the top of the cams draw length
I’m a smaller guy with a 27” v3, 70lb with 27” draw. I have shot the 29.5” lift also I can say I’m don’t with the shorter bows. I’m constantly floating and never consistent on anchor. If I get on a 31”-33” it’s night and day difference.
Deff getting a lift but that is my struggle chossing between the 29.5 or the 33. With a draw length of 31.5-32" is it worth going for the 33 to get actual draw length need or just compress a bit for more fps
Just ordered my LIFT 33. Graduating from a VXR 31.5, so I’m looking forward to the longer riser and added stability. I hunt elk etc in NM and rarely in a tree stand or blind. Occasionally I’ll hunt whitetails in Kansas from a blind my 31.5 is a tight fit so I’ll probably need a bigger blind for the 33 😂 we will see. Either way TOP NOTCH video! Love it. You could add on screen data next time. Ie Lift 33 w/420 = x FPS etc. I really wanted to hear the differences with these two specifically. This re enforces my decision to go with the 33. I gotta wait till March though for the custom order 😆🤦♂️
I plan on picking up a 29.5 in the spring. The shot sense has me excited. The lightweight feature and the 80# are all good enough to make me upgrade from a V3. 29.5 just seems like the best all around size for my hunting style. Up the mountains, up trees, and stalking across open ground.
If you want to pick one up in the spring… May want to order now. My dealer just stated his last bulk order is now pushed back until May. It is only going to get longer!
I'm 5'8 190lbs. I prefer the 29.5 after I test shot both of them. I haven't seen the vid yet, so I'm curious as to the reasons beyond "feel!" I like the 29.5 for weight and compactness, especially when in awkward shooting positions.
I'm thinking your speeds are way off. Those Chronos don't do well in dark places. I shot the 33 with a 480 grain arrow and was getting around 284. My ventum 33 at 66 lbs with a 400 grain arrow is shooting 295. Try outside next time.
It’s been accurate in there, but yeah maybe I’ll give it another shot. Each bow seemed to be right with speed. The rx8 at 70 shot 315 same place same day
No comparison...had the Omnia, the ethos is a flop...shot the lift 33....sold the elite....cant beat the back wall, longer riser, very stable...a ton of changes to such a positive direction.....bought the 33..
Lift 33 for me... better string angle. It shot well but still waiting to see what inventory comes into the shops. I also like the Rx8 Ultra, but for the difference in price it's pretty hard to beat
@@HaxenHunt might want to double check those draw weights to see why there was 12fps between 29.5 and 33. The 33 isn't meant to be super fast, but it's fast enough. Better speeds than an RX8 Ultra and a more stable platform than the 29.5
Really appreciate the side by side comparison of 29.5 vs 33 because I naturally gravitate to short AtA bows and the dramatically light weight on the 29.5 temps me, but having a direct comparison of both at same draw length and weight really helps highlight the differences and makes me excited to not just shoot the 29.5 and call it good, but now really looking forward to shooting the 33 and decide which I shoot better and then compare that to some of the other flagship bows out for this year. I’m biased to Mathews as well so trying hard to not decide on a bow till I find out which one I shoot best. Overall great video, really appreciate it!
Sheesh that 500gr arrow should’ve been going 290 with a 348 ibo….15 under its rating….like every review I keep seeing. I’ll stick with my fortis for now, i get 272 with a 500gr at 29/70.8….
@@HaxenHunt should do a video on the fps loss with different fletchings! i tested some back to back with qad and whisker biscuit and got anywhere from 3 to 8 fps loss depending on the fletchings and arrow weight. same bow, draw weight and length for control.

Just did a test shoot at Scheels. Shot a 33. It's by far the nicest bow I've shot. Definitely getting one soon

Heck yes!! The shot sense looks so dope!! I’d love to mess around with that!

Was at the bow shop today and shot the lift 29.5, beautiful bow!
Giveaway still happening? Would love to support and get the opportunity for a bow
You can alway tell what folks are shooting in these. I love the Lift, and most of the recent bows released by Mathews.
Thoughts on getting the 33 if you have a short draw length ? Like say a 28”
Would imagine the string angle would be really nice. What did you decide?
Wouldn’t really call 28 a short draw length. 27 or less I think would be considered short
Good video - I was worried when I saw the Whisker Biscuit thought “ROOKIE”
😂 whisker biscuit is just from being the demo bows at the archery shop!

I get the same with my hunting arrow at 475 gn. 30/70 and I’ve shot 3-4 different 33s as they come in…..get 284-286 pretty consistently.
Pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question but does the arrow weights you give include the field point? Or just the arrow itself?
I'd love to see a lift 33 vs an elite ethos
No comparison...had the Omnia, the ethos is a flop...shot the lift 33....sold the elite....cant beat the back wall, longer riser, very stable...a ton of changes to such a positive direction.....bought the 33..
my draw length 27.5"~28
height 5'5" 75lbs lift 29.5 or 33 which is better?
for +50yd 3d archery not for hunting
33
Lift 33 for me... better string angle. It shot well but still waiting to see what inventory comes into the shops. I also like the Rx8 Ultra, but for the difference in price it's pretty hard to beat
The 33 is so freaking solid! And yeah that rx8 ultra is for sure a competitor for the lift 33

The LIFT is lighter, cheaper and made in America unlike the riser of the Rx8 Ultra, the 33 is a no-brainer.
Need to do a Prime RVX 34 review
It’s coming!! 100% a lot of content with the RVX series!
The RVX 4 draw cycle is probably the best I’ve ever shot.

And he's back. How's things haxen
I’ve gotta quit hunting so I can focus on videos for you guys!!
I was gna say yeh u do but its a big ask bro. 💁♂️
Hopefully they ship a lefty before the ‘25 bows come out lol
The struggle is real!
Lift for haxenhunt for 2024?
I do think it could be in the cards 100% to buy one…
The 29.5 hit the back wall way to hard, older guys must stay away injured my shoulder with 29.5
Sheesh that 500gr arrow should’ve been going 290 with a 348 ibo….15 under its rating….like every review I keep seeing. I’ll stick with my fortis for now, i get 272 with a 500gr at 29/70.8….
Can you tell me what the overall length of both bows were?
29.5" and 33"
Overall, not ATA.
Sorry about that. I believe when I measured them at my shop the overall measurements were longer than the ATA by a 1/4".
Probably would get faster speeds with a drop away
It’s only a couple foot difference
1-3 feet per second max difference. It’s negligible.
Can’t wait to see mine in march lol. the wait is tough😢
You ordered it and it’s still not until March? Daaang
@@HaxenHunt yea I’m a lefty
Why is everyone trying to sell this bow is it that bad
I think it’s a good Bow.. that being said I don’t think it’s Mathew’s best bow
U will lose some fps with whisker biscuit. Awesome video tho!
Appreciate it! Fortunately whiskey biscuit only takes off a max of 3fps but each foot counts for sure!
@@HaxenHunt should do a video on the fps loss with different fletchings! i tested some back to back with qad and whisker biscuit and got anywhere from 3 to 8 fps loss depending on the fletchings and arrow weight. same bow, draw weight and length for control.
Your the 8,912th guy to do the SAME video…😂
And you’re the 1,250,472nd guy to watch the SAME video…😂😂😂😂
Ahhh....bows for gay guys.
What release?
Scott archery apex core. Almost $300. Yea right😂
