I respect you so much for making this. So many videos are just sponsored bullshit and nobody ever calls out anyone. Thank you for being honest. A breathe of fresh air.
Thank you so much for not being another COG in the Ultraview Machine. It’s refreshing to hear an honest review for a change. Most RUclipsrs now are just the new outdoor television hunters pushing their products they either sell or are paid to use. Keep it honest…always
For another $200 you can get a Garmin Xero. At least that has a rangefinder built into it. Point being there will never be a pin based sight that merits a $700 price tag (for me). Never. Very refreshing to have an honest and objective review like this. You have my bow.
Don’t do my mistake I do hunt in Tanzania it’s the worst thing to hunt with when it’s doesn’t range cable get damaged easy it’s not reliable I had it twice almost lost my moment had to use fix pin I do have video proof of that
If you're shooting a Garmin. You might as well just gun hunt. At that point you're relying on equipment to do 90% of your work. There's reason it's illegal to hunt with in over 13 states.
I appreciate your honesty. I'm a Mathews fan boy and love high end archery equipment and firearms....but the cost has to be justified. Build quality, materials, capability, durability, uniqueness, SOMETHING
Thank you Nate for being honest and standing up for the majority of the archery fan that is NOT sponsored and would rather spend money on archery shoots other than overpriced sights! Its like buying a McLaren to drive down to the end of the driveway to take the trash out!
Appreciate your honesty! I do know that the dial is made to move while the brake is on. They do it so that you can override your brake in the heat of the moment.
your paying Mathews, ultraview and Chris Bee plus any buddies there in with. We are sending them on Amazing hunts, supporting there properties and all that stuff. We the consumers are giving them the LIFE! They are laughing all the way to the bank.. For us… its buy buy, buy, owe owe, owe.. off to work i go…..😢 And sit at work at lunch time watching there videos thinking wow. That would be nice..
@@josephfolsom2030 Right. That’s why I say NO!! Seriously. If you have patience. And some guys don’t. But if you do. And there is a new bow or whatever toy you want. You give it a few years and get on archery talk and buy it for 1/4 of the price off that guy who does have to have the latest n greatest. Cause he dumps all his gear n rebuys new.
@ I used to frequent ArcheryTalk, but that site is so caustic they may as well call it Troll Talk. It’s always been that way. Once in a while is all I can take. I will probably pull the trigger on the Lift X. I was going to buy a regular Lift 33. I’m glad I waited. I just love archery and this time of year is exciting to me. I watch all brands. The Darton is looking good as well this year. I used to own a Darton Lighning, bought it new in 1992.
That new Axcel looks like a far superior product with similar ergonomics, you will actually be able to see the pins, and it will be cheaper.This is coming from a guy that regretfully runs a slider but spent too much money on it to just toss it in the drawer. Still very interested in the new Axcel when it’s available and may still pick one up.
It’s supposed to be able to move with the brake on. It brakes enough to keep it from moving. I don’t know how that is your biggest gripe. It’s specially made for a Mathew’s bow. I’m sure just having the Mathew’s name on it jacked the price up. Just like the QAD rest that is made for it. I think it’s well built and thought out. I like how light and compact it is and how streamlined it is with the bow. If your buying this sight you have already most likely spent thousands of dollars on a new Lift. What’s a couple hundred more dollars for a sight that fits the bow better than anything else? How many of the people complaining actually have a bow this will actually work on?
While I agree 100% the price is NUTS.. There is a timer shut off. This thing is VERY light weight. Its the only sight without a big offset. It moves on purpose, its an override while hunting, its not going to move by accident.
I appreciate the honesty of your review. A lot of people were complaining about the auto shut off so I’m guessing that’s why it’s gone. Their 4 minute timer really wasn’t ideal
Thanks Nate for the honest review, that goes along with how the common bow enthusiasts feel about the sight. As someone that works in manufacturing, this sight is a slap in the face to those that work hard for their money. Their price gouging scheme is apparent when you recall the Jesse Broadwater grip... then out comes the UV grips thereafter for a premium price.
Thank you for your honest review. That brake issue is unforgivable. From a product manager perspective, designing something that has such an ultra limited customer base is not in the best interest of the company. That's the reason for the price. Limited sales requires higher margins, especially when being split amongst two companies.
Actually I bet they could sell the sights at a loss with their bows since the sights are only compatible with their bows and it would make it seem like a deal, good marketing ploy.
@@pik2490 Very convenient lol. They should give you the option to have it lock down then ... I got an axcel landslyde for my hunting bow and its been an amazing sight. Got it used for less than 300 bucks with a 3 pin accustat. Ultraview has been going down a road Im not interested in. They seem to know their market though, being the newbie with money to burn or the tac shooter that thinks they are john dudley or whatever, lol. Their stuff is not bad by any means, its just double the price of the competition for the same or even inferior quality. I liked UV when they were innovating and creating some new interesting stuff. Their UV3 scope being the main thing. It was nowhere near the quality of axcel or shrewd, but it brought something new to the table allowing people to swap cartridges easily so they can shoot 1 bow for 3d, target and even hunting. Since then, their releases are mehh, their sights are mehh, their stabs are mehh, their arrows are just silly being 4.5mm and absurdly priced.... I just cant get behind anything they are doing right now. At least there are still other companies rockin it. Axcel runs the show in terms of sights. Black gold and HHA for hunting sights are always solidd too. Victory, easton, and black eagle make any arrow you could ever need at fair market prices. I guess there is enough people that will buy into marketing to keep them successful though, so kudos to them for honing in on a select group that is loyal to the core.
Finally an honest review. I bought the UV Slider 1.0 last January and don’t see this as a major upgrade. And it cost $100 more. Either way the real gripe I have with UV is in most low light you have to use the lights which is a major distraction when hunting. I’m prolly going back to the Black Gold Hunter that costs about 225.
I've seen vendors at TAC who are one man companies, with no name recognition, next to established brands. TAC has no scoring or trophies. It's commonly known to come out and bring YOUR equipment to be ready for the coming hunting season. What about TAC is elitist?
Chris Beewax said he thought they wouldn’t get it out in time. I see why. Btw way Jack it does turn itself off when the battery drains flat. “I think I might have a lemon maybe” oh it’s a lemon, by design😂
Great review man. One thing I noticed when I checked it out was the single pin adjustments were done with a single allen screw, like an old 1995 cheap Walmart bow site. Found that very disappointing for such an expensive sight.
Easy…there’s 2 middle men before even getting it to you. Mathews is just like the new pickup truck industry. I’m a solid middle class and I’m priced out of both markets.
Love the no timer on the light. Nothing worse than sitting in the stand fearing the light might turn off right after drawing the bow. Slider moving when locked is designed feature. So you can ”override” the lock in a hurry.
It sounds like this manufacturer was deliberately just trying to make as much money as possible on the sales and not putting that money into the product. I couldn’t agree more.
Happy to see someone else thinks it's overpriced. All other reviews glaze right over the cost like it's totally acceptable. Thanks for the honest reviews you do Nate.
The definition of paying for the names, no doubt a quality product but you can literally buy a Garmin sight that ranges for you for that kind of money lol love the honesty in the review
Nate, thanks for the honest review. Obviously, you have not drunk the kool-aid in regard to the Mathews product line. My main problem with their product is the cost of all the accessories.
I see an honest review and I click subscribe. I like that the windage is built into the slide wheel centre. That saves a lot of length. Its compactness would let you get it right back to use a bigger peep which would appeal to me. But I still wouldn't buy it if it was $700 aussie let a lone it being 700USD! They are taking the piss with a price like that surely.
Thanks for an honest review Nate, the original UV slider is overpriced and this just ups the ante even more. Archery is becoming a wealthy man's pursuit, not sure how long the more affordable brands will stay that way if this trend continues
I agree somewhat but there's still lots of good midpriced gear out there. I think the issue is seeing these social media influencers upgrading their bows every year and using the most expensive gear for everything. Brands put top dollar gear in these guys hands and it gives the rest of us the false impression that it is all standard equipment. The influencers act like reviewers/enthusiasts but they're just vehicles for product placements. Ignore the marketing. If you want to splurge occasionally fine, but focus on the mid priced stuff that offers quality and good value.... that's where 99% of us lived before social media got taken over by marketing executives and unscrupulous influencers that have us believing we need to be constantly buying expensive shit to be happy.
I am a huge Mathews fan. I do own and have owned several Mathews products. Never owned a UV product. Without a doubt both companies produce high quality products. That said I am with you. This sight is way overpriced for what you get. As for the lock… I believe that they designed it to NOT fully lock. They wanted the user to be able to roll it in lock position, in the heat of the moment. As always I love your videos. Keep them coming!!!
Great review, what happens to the price when the new tariffs come in next year? I'm assuming built in the US isn't the same as made in the US. Built seems to me to be assembled in the US from parts made where? Just an expensive product marketed very well through influencers.
Looks like they fixed the windage detents in the Dual Dial. Mine doesn't have a positive click like this new version. They got rid of the offset on the bar and put the sight in front of the riser. I wonder if they adjusted the windage range to compensate. It doesn't look like it has very much adjustment if you need to move it towards the riser.
Agree it’s overpriced. I do run the UV Slider only because I was able to get it new from my dealer for $479. I’ll probably try the Axel Driver when it hits the shelves.
Truth. No micro adjust pins Paper sight tapes Non-programmable light that doesn't auto shutoff Bridgelock only I'm super curious on what about this made Mathews choose this sight among the other sights that were submitted for consideration. My only guess is that UV can make this sight for such a low cost that the profit margin for both UV and Mathews is triple for both of them. I'll be surprised if this sight has another iteration. I think it'll have an initial production run, and then be gone.
I agree with most of your review but the sight is designed to move with the brake on. You might not like that design but the sight is functioning 100% as intended.
I have never once looked into a sight over $300 so I know nothing.... But it seems to me the brake could be so that the sight won't move on you accidentally, but still able to move out from 30 to 37 yards with without extra movement when a deer is in front of you...?
The "brake" is just exactly what it is doing for you. That has been the case since the original UV slider came out. It just keeps you from being able to bump it and get messed up. I dont kmow why they do that. But it was intentional. The light not shutting off and the plastic tapes are BS. Although my black gold was $400 and has plastic site tapes as well.
I agree with 99% of everything you said. Only issue is the lock. They have clearly stated it’s over-rideable and a feature of the sight. If you like or want that feature is a persons preference but to say it’s a lemon or broken when it’s specifically made that way is incorrect. With that said as nice as it looks $700 + change is stupid. Yes I get it’s a nice sight, it’s made well, it’s Mathews branded and it’s a quality precision piece of equipment from a company we know likes to charge a lot for things. But putting lipstick on a pig does not make it human. I’m seriously looking at the axcel driver. Has all the features and has every bow mounting option right away. That sight is $500 too so I guess I’ll never be a rich man.
Ultraview bust out another 300 the sight is literally more then half the new Mathews Supposedly you can move it with the brake on that way if you are in a hurry and need to make a quick adjustment you can just dial its stiffer
The paper sight tapes are the reason I won’t switch to the Ultraview. I absolutely hate paper sight tapes. I’ve bought CBE sights the last couple times because they have metal sight tapes.
It’s only missing a built in rangefinder, react technology, 2 additional cartridges, metal sight tapes, lifetime no questions asked overnight replacement transferable warranty and a t-shirt,
Excellent review! I'm not even sure this sight is legal in states that do not allow artificial light? Since this light is integrated and you cannot remove it, this wouldn't be legal in CO, ID and few other states.
ultraview intentionally allows movement with the brake on they call it "overdrive" so in the heat of the moment your able to adjust the sight I would be surprised if the light didn't turn itself off and thought you would test this before speaking on it
It looks like a top quality site but man that price is getting up there! I guess if the original UV Slider is $600 they figured add another $100. Maybe skip the fancy case and keep it at $600. I'll stick with my HHA even though it doesn't have 1st axis adjustment. Even MFJJ called them out on the cost.
UV is making entry into hunting seem like it’s way too expensive of a sport to begin. There needs to be an influencer that normalizes shooting the same bow for 5-6 years, with a good old fashioned fixed TruGlo sight from Walmart and some .006 arrows. What I heard three 18-19 year olds discussing while buying some UV arrows the other day absolutely blew my mind.
@@averagejackarchery Good to know. I'm using the Option Canyon pounder. It's expensive also but man, it's an engineering marvel. Definitely worth $600 and probably the last sight I'll ever buy.
You are not a Mathews fanboy and light freak so You do not justify the cost and I totally understand that. In fact I do not see the justification of the upgrade from old one to new one only to get it lighter and USB light, but I use the "old" UV slider and I love it but I started to feef benefits of it only when I got a "promotion" deal and bought the sight and additional mount. Now I got standard mount on my aluminium bow (older one) and pic mount for the carbon bow. Got 2 sight tapes for each of them for 3dfield and hunting setups. I see some benefits on such multiple bow setup to split the costs with single sight, 2 mounts and multiple pin cartiges. Without that the standard price of just single sight with single cartrige, there are cheaper and good alike options on the market.
Ive seen multiple reviews of this today and youre the first person I've heard call it like you see it, and that is incredibly refreshing.
Your honesty is refreshing. UV is hot trash for the price

For a Mathews (I just ordered a Lift X 33), what lightweight sight with similar specs would you recommend?
I am trying to decide on either the hha tetra ryz3 or the redline mtn long range
And you are there targeted audience. They will continue rasing the bar until you says na.. I'm good.. have at it brother
@MikeyWoomer If you're replying to me, I think you're mistaken. Read the last part of my above statement again, that makes me NOT their target.

The light has a timer, and it’s supposed to move with the brake on. They call it override.

Ordered mine today
Great review. Based on what I have seen. For us Canadians it’s $1K. I ordered the Axcel

I agree with 99% of everything you said. Only issue is the lock. They have clearly stated it’s over-rideable and a feature of the sight. If you like or want that feature is a persons preference but to say it’s a lemon or broken when it’s specifically made that way is incorrect. With that said as nice as it looks $700 + change is stupid. Yes I get it’s a nice sight, it’s made well, it’s Mathews branded and it’s a quality precision piece of equipment from a company we know likes to charge a lot for things. But putting lipstick on a pig does not make it human. I’m seriously looking at the axcel driver. Has all the features and has every bow mounting option right away. That sight is $500 too so I guess I’ll never be a rich man.
I'll stick with my Redline Torch 2 pin. I love that sight and it was half the price of UV.
Too expensive! I do like the overall smaller profile of the sight though.
Plenty of sights for far less money with similar features. At some point we as consumers have to reject these absorbent prices.
Hey Nate..,can a purchaser pick which bond grip? Or does the consumer have to buy 3 and settle for 1?
You can purchase a single grip. $99.99 each; side plates $49.
Yes, all bows will come stock with the engage grip. Any other grip is $99 and then side plates $49. But it is after the fact.
That’s crazy. I can’t believe what they’re doing with this stuff. It’s not even close to being worth that price tag.
First honest review of this sight on youtube - yea, it's a nice sight but nothing special and WAY over priced.
Ultraview bust out another 300 the sight is literally more then half the new Mathews
Supposedly you can move it with the brake on that way if you are in a hurry and need to make a quick adjustment you can just dial its stiffer
I completely agree with you 💯
The paper sight tapes are the reason I won’t switch to the Ultraview. I absolutely hate paper sight tapes. I’ve bought CBE sights the last couple times because they have metal sight tapes.
It’s only missing a built in rangefinder, react technology, 2 additional cartridges, metal sight tapes, lifetime no questions asked overnight replacement transferable warranty and a t-shirt,
Excellent review! I'm not even sure this sight is legal in states that do not allow artificial light? Since this light is integrated and you cannot remove it, this wouldn't be legal in CO, ID and few other states.
You can remove the light. It pulls right out and they include a sight ring to go in if you take the light out.
ultraview intentionally allows movement with the brake on they call it "overdrive" so in the heat of the moment your able to adjust the sight I would be surprised if the light didn't turn itself off and thought you would test this before speaking on it
I'm more disappointed on the way they handle lefty sights personally
It looks like a top quality site but man that price is getting up there! I guess if the original UV Slider is $600 they figured add another $100. Maybe skip the fancy case and keep it at $600. I'll stick with my HHA even though it doesn't have 1st axis adjustment. Even MFJJ called them out on the cost.
I am agreeing with you Nate. Some of this new so called technology is bogus.
UV is making entry into hunting seem like it’s way too expensive of a sport to begin. There needs to be an influencer that normalizes shooting the same bow for 5-6 years, with a good old fashioned fixed TruGlo sight from Walmart and some .006 arrows. What I heard three 18-19 year olds discussing while buying some UV arrows the other day absolutely blew my mind.
So when it is on your bow, what the heck are you supposed to do with the box? Shave the box off and @ 200 dollars off as well.
Yeaaa imma keep my Garmin
The price is crazy but some will buy it
It's PrEmiUm
Overpriced sight not worth the money I agree with this video.
I don't know any company that provides a full array of metal sight tapes. Usually you figure out which one you need and order it.
CBE and Redline both have metal sight tapes on their high end hunting sights. All $300 or less.
@@averagejackarchery Good to know. I'm using the Option Canyon pounder. It's expensive also but man, it's an engineering marvel. Definitely worth $600 and probably the last sight I'll ever buy.
That's not true I got a full set of metal sight tapes with my CBE engage hybrid and I got 12 side tapes with my Excel landslide
@@timothycardinal9193 It's not true that I don't know of any?
B3 provides them as well as the others mentioned.
You are not a Mathews fanboy and light freak so You do not justify the cost and I totally understand that. In fact I do not see the justification of the upgrade from old one to new one only to get it lighter and USB light, but I use the "old" UV slider and I love it but I started to feef benefits of it only when I got a "promotion" deal and bought the sight and additional mount. Now I got standard mount on my aluminium bow (older one) and pic mount for the carbon bow. Got 2 sight tapes for each of them for 3dfield and hunting setups. I see some benefits on such multiple bow setup to split the costs with single sight, 2 mounts and multiple pin cartiges. Without that the standard price of just single sight with single cartrige, there are cheaper and good alike options on the market.
