My thoughts on the 2024 Mathews Lift 29.5" ATA bow, and a comparison to my 2023 Phase 4 33". I'll let you know why I'm not keeping the 29.5" Lift, and what I'm going to shoot for 2024 instead.

Have you shot a Mathews Lift? Do you prefer the 29.5" or the 33"?

Picked up a 29.5 in Earth. Love the bow. For my 28” DL it feels great at full draw.

Good review. I tried the Lift this past week, but I just couldn't get on board with the feel and draw cycle. I ended up ordering a RX-8 Ultra. Nothing against Matthews just didnt love the Lift.

@charleszielke2634 2 месяца назад

I recently purchased the Lift 29.5. I own a Phase 4 29 and was happy with that bow. I will say the Lift is probably one of my favorite bows of all time. The Lift is so quiet and vibration free. The design is well thought out and the fit and finish is perfect. I wasn't sold on the Lift at first, but after my purchase, I could not be happier!

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 2 месяца назад

Awesome! Thanks for the great feedback on the bow. I’m anxious to get my 33” Lift in May. I will say that I’ve been shooting my P4 33” to prepare for TAC in July and it is shooting really well! We’ll see how the Lift measures up!

@marcuswhitney6560 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Nobodys talking about the problems. I heard 90% of the time tophats need to be swapped on these lifts, and cam lean is a thing. The match strings arent better than abb or gas, and a new set costs $190🙃 ill stick with my V3X another year

@JohnNeedham-zk5ms 2 месяца назад

I’m not a Mathews fanboy I shoot 80# bows sense I was young it was common to find 80+ pound bows in the aluminum arrow days but like he said ruff to tune had to creep tune it so I’m well over 80# and it is easier to draw than most 70# bows I can throw the 55# mod and my daughter sight and she shoot great out to 50 yards I love it and I shot every flagship bow that was out

@josephfolsom2030 4 месяца назад

Appreciate the very practical review. I have the Phase 4 29”. Shortest bow I have ever owned. I have shot the Lift 33 at a shop and I can say that it held better than the Phase 4 29. I was shooting it well for only shooting it on 3 occasions. I would say the the Phase 4 is smoother drawing especially at the end of the draw cycle. Not that the Lift 33 was harsh but definitely not as smooth. I haven’t given the Phase 4 33 a lot of attention but would like to shoot it as much as I have the Lift 33.

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback and your thoughts on the different bows.

@omm7763 3 месяца назад

Wow, I absolutely love your honest opinion. I tested out the 33 inch lift and the 29.5 inch lift. I found the 33 to be more stable and more accurate. But, in the end I want a smaller bow that I had to tune my body and arms to, to get accuracy. Don't get me wrong, I really loved the 33 inch lift. But I rather be off 1 inch back 40 yards then carry around a larger bow. This is just my opinion. If you like the draw cycle of the phase 4, you will not like the draw cycle of the lift 33 or the 29.5. It is a little bit more upfront heavy and continues until the back end drop off. The phase 4 I found it a little hard pulling about halfway. The lifts I found both very difficult to pull until you get to the back wall. But almost gradual and equal. In the end I went with the 29.5 lift. I've been pretty happy with it for the last three months.

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 3 месяца назад

I like your thought process. The 29.5” is a GREAT shooting bow. I enjoyed shooting it, and really liked the size and light weight of it. My original intent was to keep the 29.5 Lift AND the 33” Phase 4 to have both options, but I decided I don’t really need 2 bows (I have other backups, if needed). I have an opportunity to essentially trade the 29.5 for the 33 Lift, so I decided to take advantage of that and be able to compare the 33 Lift to the 33 P4. Thanks for the feedback!

@mckinneysoutdoorservice1231 4 месяца назад

Love the mathews but the draw killed my shoulder with old injury when back to hoyt

@ross7684 Месяц назад

People complained about the old wooden grip bows, then they complained about the Focus grip, then they complained about the Flatback grip and now they complain about the Engage grip. If it's a Mathews, people have to have something to complain about. I have the engage on my Traverse and the Focus on my Halon 32 and I prefer the Focus grip, but shoot the Engage grip about as well.

@Getdownorlaydownbum Месяц назад

I put the ultra view 2.0 grip on my lift made a huge difference hand placement was natural and consistent I couldn’t get that with the engaged grip I guess I was use to that hoyt grip but that 2.0 fixed it

@dakotadickens8902 Месяц назад

Great informative video. It’s was kinda green apples to red apples. Instead of red to red. But that kinda all you had to work with and comes down to personal preferences. Lookign forward to the red to red and maybe even making a review myself.

@Cpt-Pugwash14 2 месяца назад

Same, i got a lift without shooting it first, sold it a few weeks after as my V3X33 is a much better bow i felt.

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 2 месяца назад

Did you have the 29.5 or 33" Lift?

@gorankorovljevic810 4 месяца назад

Let me know about SAS,does it fits from older models to Lift

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 4 месяца назад

I reached out to my one of my contacts at Mathews and they confirmed they are not compatible. I did order the SAS for the Lift 33 and it is about 1/2" longer than the SAS for P4 33".

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 3 месяца назад

I’m sure it’s a fine bow. Mathews is a long time sponsor of my website (TexasBowhunter.com). I was a Hoyt shooter before Mathews came on board back in 2011.

@buck16 4 месяца назад

I find this review to be somewhat ridiculous. Comparing a 33 Phase 4 to a 29.5 lift makes no sense. You should have compared the 33 Pase 4 to a 33 Lift.

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 4 месяца назад

Fair, but it was simply my thoughts on why I like my current model bow (Phase 4 - 33”) more than the Lift 29.5, which Mathews had sent to me (as part of our sponsorship agreement at TexasBowhunter.com. ) I mean, there’s nothing click-baity in the title that would lead you to assume this would be a comparison between 33” model bows. I will do another comparison between the 33” models when the Lift 33” arrives in mid-June. I’m sure you’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for that. 😜

@buck16 4 месяца назад

@@MichaelMiddletonTBH Ok sounds good.

@robertsophiea05 2 месяца назад

Why would it be bad to compare a 33 to a 29.5? People are looking for opinions on bows so that they can make an educated decision . People are not necessarily committed to a specific size bow. Axle to Axle is just another number on a spec sheet. Do you find it ridiculous when people compare bows with different IBO speeds?

@thomasvanderhoff768 3 месяца назад

If you guys are going to review bows ,why would you not have your own bow ,press? Having a press teaches you how to work on your own bow .I would not trust half of thease bow techs to touch my bow. Do your self a favor and get a press then you can fine tune your own bow ,and if you mess up put back in the press and fix it ,it’s best way to learn how to tune your bow. And with you tube you have everything there to show how to work on your bow.

@MichaelMiddletonTBH 3 месяца назад

If you listen carefully, you’ll realize that the bow arrived to my house on a Friday evening and I left for our hunting property the following morning. I didn’t have a press at the lease, so I went to the local shop to get a quick tune. While I don’t own a bow press, I have a local shop near my house (that is also a site sponsor for TexasBowhunter.com) and they allow me to use their equipment for tuning my bows. (I do set up and tune my own.) I am also able to use Mathews’ SAS to press the bow for pretty much anything needed to set up and tune (although I didn’t yet have it for the Lift when I received it.)
