@@jrlovell3 normal string stretch is the biggest component to cam timing being off! Just shooting your bow will stretch the strings where you would want to check timing about 1-2 times a year (depending on how much you shoot)
I shoot prime. But not for speed. That draw cycle is like butter! And about the 1 bow maker that iv never heard of any major issues (granted the limited history) plus free strings and cables every 2 years!
I’m confused, my new 29.5 lift at these exact specs 29” draw 70lbs with a 480g arrow is only hitting 282 fps and that’s how fast your 500g is. I’m at 85% let off on my mods, wonder if these one were the 80%? I love this bow so far!
Hmmm I wonder if it's just a difference in each chronograph? It could be that for sure. We did test this bow at 85% so it should be the same as yours! Glad your enjoying it! They are sweet bows
I wouldn't say it's recommended but I put and extra 1/2 turn on my carbon one. 74 lb draw 444 grain arrow and its 299-301 fps. Is the new version easier to stabilize with the extra 3" ata? I was worried about shooting a 30 at range but it does well way farther than I would shoot at game.
I can't agree on the string angle at full draw comment. That's the only reason I went with the Mathews Lift 33. The Alpha X 33 string angle at my DL, 31", was not comfortable at all. I couldn't get comfortable with it unfortunately.
I own a few Mathews bows and will ever sell them ...but 321 ft/sec for a 380grain arrow is SLOW...esp on a bow costing $2k ...no thanks ill keep my Monster XLR8
I'm not a big dude, I'm 5'8". But if your slender you can definitely fit 2 people in it since I normally keep my bow and pack in it next to me. Best part about this tent is when you tie it down good it doesnt flap at all. So when you hear something at night you know its something and not just your tent making noise.
Thanks for the video, the sign of a good teacher/instructor. is to keep it understandable to the average person some people like to talk over your head to make it sound like its magic. RTQ
I'm about to buy a phase 4 but I'm going to have to start with accessories from my cheap diamond edge max for now and I'll add Mathews accessories here and there as I can afford it.
Thank you for watching! We always have the arrow running right through the middle of the Berger hole on most bows. It’s basically in the center of all geometry
Definitely reccomend. They are slightly past parallel and you run the risk of that slipping out of a press if your not careful. Either that, or screw the press arms all the way in. Hope this helps! Have an awesome day!
@@charlie8796 absolutely. We carry Black Gold, Spot Hogg, Option Archery, and our personal fav in the Landslyde from Axcel. All have amazing features and will out perform other sights on the market 🤘🏼🤘🏼
My 70# Limbs are weighing at 69lbs and my bottom cam is hitting about 3/4 faster than my top. What string would I twist for that ? 😮 I’ve been in a tuning nightmare for my first now 😔
@@sarcazmo yes I watched the video… i can still ask a question to make sure. And I fixed my cam timing. I bought a press/draw board, vise and just started working on my bows. Only been into archery for 8months or so. Asking questions is normal bro.
@@sarcazmoexcept my bow’sowner manual instructed me to twist different cable, so not I wasn’t the answer. Idk why ur so invested in a question I had a month ago that I’ve found the solution too already 😅
You can with a little ingenuity hahaha We used one of the old RX-4/5 Pic rail mounts that were the 2 piece. The one piece bolted right through the riser which we used on the brite site leveler to do pic rails. If you can’t find one let us know! We have some extras we can mail you
Picked one up earlier today, I was super hyped. ( Quick note I use the rx7 ) First off, I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong because the entire stand kept pivoting, and I had the locking screw and couldn’t figure out where it went. Upon watching your video I figured out that the locking screw only works with the Rx8, since the Rx7 doesn’t have the hole for it. I was pretty disappointed since you can’t find ANYWHERE that the locking screw doesn't work the Rx7 and earlier models. Honestly considered taking it back, since without tightening it as hard as possible the entire stand will pivot, and even when doing that even in just the day I’ve owned it, I’d still find the stand coming loose and pivoting. On top of that, I just have the factory stubby bottom stabilizer so I can’t use the stand in a way that keeps the kam’s out of the dirt, without buying a bottom stabilizer. So all that considered, it’s pretty hard to justify the $140 price tag for any Rx7 owners. Please give me any tips to stop this stand from coming loose and pivoting.
Man I’m sorry to hear that!!! I totally agree though, it’s frustrating with that design flaw. I guess not a flaw however it forces you into a new bow 😂 Without a locking washer on the backside of the mount I’m not sure how else it will work. If you bought it from us we’d love to exchange for store credit or a refund! Let us know if we can help you! Good luck!
Awesome yea the ones I'm using now weigh 4 oz so 1.5 oz more won't be a big deal appreciate your time with that now I know what I'm getting for my birthday
That is the Axcel landslyde head with the Mathews bridgelock bar attachment in this video. It allows us to keep the sight closer to the riser for better balance! 💪🏼 The Axcel is our favorite dial sight by far, with spot hogg being a close second
@@josephfolsom2030 that specific head was the 5 horizontal pin with the dial. We are typically using the bottom pin as our rover for our tape indicator! 👍🏼
@@straight6archery53 I have been using the Spott Hogg Fast Eddie XL Triple stack on my Phase 4 29. It weighs right at 15oz. Shot the Lift 33 a few times this week and really like how it holds. My son had gifted my Phase 4 to me last July. Have the 33 Lift on order and want to keep it light and balanced. I’ll probably go with 3 horizontal pins. Did you order your Landslide with the Mathews Bridgelock bar or separately? I know they make one with the longer dovetail bar. I really like your setup. I’m only shooting 55 lbs due to a detached rotor cuff on my drawing arm. 29.5 draw length so I really don’t how far out I’ll be able to shoot without hitting the sight with my arrow at it longest setting. 436 grn. arrow
I finally found a left handed 33 in stock and was able to shoot it a bit. I decided to pick it up, spend some time with it, and wanted to report out my real world findings. To be honest, I was very skeptical about this bow when I first saw the release of it. When I first inspected one in person, my skepticism grew. You can literally grab the cam and bend it around in all directions (of course with the bow at brace) as the limbs are so skinny they just flex like crazy. I was worried about that from a durability standpoint. I was also worried about the cams being very, very skeletonized. They seem like they would be easy to bend, etc. Those were some initial observations before I got to shoot one. I got to shoot one and my first reaction was 1) the draw cycle is very linear, just stiff 2) there is no valley (even at 85%) 3) the vibe/shock after the shot is more than the Phase 4 and 4) the riser length adds to stability significantly 5) something different in the grip where your thumb fits is improved. I shot it with both C and D draw length mods and landed on taking it home with the C mod. I bought the bow and took it home (we do our own set up and tuning at home)...... Set up was easy. With a center shot rest we had a perfect bullet hole with ZERO top hat changes or any other changes. The Match strings are an improvement over the Zebra, not sure how much of an improvement but they are better. They are thinner and they did settle very quickly and my peep locked in. So I just started shooting it for a few days. The bow has a very clean shot cycle, very clean release. With it all set up, the vibe/shock was mostly gone. I got used to the draw cycle being stiff. I never did like the lack of a valley. My style of shooting my hinge is to relax/elongate the palm of my hand and that style does not work well with a bow with no valley. As I shot it, I realized the C mod was making me feel a bit long. I was not stable at full draw and could feel being a bit overextended. My shop still had the D mods, so I switched to them and now I was too short, feeling scrunched up. When I am scrunched up, I have hand torque. For me, having the draw length perfect is a huge issue, as I finally found out how well I shoot when my draw length is spot on. It matters hugely! So, sadly, I am caught between a D and C on this new Mathews cam and not comfortable at either. Note on the previous Mathews cam the D mod worked well for me). Yes, could I twist strings and/or remove the grip and/or fiddle with D loop length or even my release neck length (different releases) - yes I could do all of that to try and get the Lift 33 to fit my draw length. Since I have other bows I shoot well, I did not want to put that level of effort into the Lift, so I sold it/traded it. As long as Mathews runs this newest cam with the 1/2" draw length limits, I am probably out of luck with Mathews. Conclusion, while I can't speak to the long term durability of the bow/cams, if your draw length fits one of the draw mods and if you are OK with no valley, this bow could be a great choice for you. Thank you.
You guys were saying about the new Pse Quiver, I was just wondering have you try the Nock on Checkmate quiver or would there be any chance of you reviewing both of the quivers...
Thank you for the question! We have a bunch of the PSE quivers on the way, and in our opinion are the superior quiver of the two. A lot of thought went into the PSE quiver and accessories! Should see them in both stores soon!!!
@@straight6archery53 Thankyou very much for the quick reply. By any chance could you do a review on the New Pse quiver when you get them, in I can't seem to find a review on them.
Would you chose the rx8 over the ultra or vice versa? I only tried them without any accessories. I’m sure you have tried them with all the bells and whistles. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for the question! It depends on what your wanting to accomplish. I shot the ultra the last 2 years because of the string angle. I’m 29-3/4 draw and the ultra just fits me comfortably. For longer shots, the ultra is where it’s at but for tight places like blinds or tree stands I would choose the 30”
Thank you. Yeah I shot them both at the shop. The balance of the ultra is unmatched but like you said for hunting the shorter is definitely what I prefer.
I ordered a Lift just because I think it looks too knarly not to. That said, from everything I've seen, this bow is slower than my Traverse. So are most of the new bows over the last 3 or 4 years.
