4 Month Review MATHEWS LIFT 

What draw length are you? I’m debating between the 29.5 and 33….

Did the minimal vibration make you more accurate?? What did it do for you??

@@tommywagoner7669 the long riser makes the bow super steady, and the minimal vibration helps me follow through better. it also is so much more comfortable to shoot.

Best shooting bow ever! Said last year, and this year, and next year........

@@WolfinWolvesClothing713 and every year...

Do you even recommend it to someone who doesn't go much?

Yeah id have to agree it sounds a bit louder than my phase four but its so light and the matchgrade strings are amazing

Right on. Glad to hear those new strings are an improvement.@@MikoMuru

😂

In fairness we’d give the same reviews given we were in his shoes 🤷🏻‍♂️🤙🏻🤣

What kind of targets are those?

Business expense.

⁠@@chrisutech3676Just the dice are called Morrell High Rollers

Well over 2k lol

High rollers inside the center punch frames all made by morrell targets

he cant, he has a contract with mathews to only shoot their bows

Haha i did the same. I held the 33 (with front and rear stabs) at my local shop and it was still lighter than my V3X 29 😂🤣😂 i’m thinking a lot as well

Nothing wrong with light IMO. I have not switched since the Heli-M and this is the first bow I am considering moving to.

It’s still a solid purchase. I think bow speeds have reached their limit. I still have my V3X 29 and I love it. However I am contemplating the longer axle to axle. I like backpacking on public hunts and my 29 can get pretty heavy. I held the LIFT 33 and I can’t believe how light it is. At the end of the day it’s you who will make the most out of the bow. Shoot targets, go on a hunt and bring food home. Cheers!

Are the longer shot hard with the 29.5 I’m talking 60 to 70 yards I’m only 28 DL or would you suggest to go with the 33

It doesn’t have more speed according to all the measurements Phase 4 vs Lift… I was going to buy the Lift, and I don’t own a Phase 4 so I’m not biased. But now I’m not sure.

I was shooting a Hoyt and test shot both the Alpha X 33 and the LIFT 33, the LIFT was the bow that came home with me. Traded in my Hoyt for it.

Still shooting mine from '08 and just put a new string on it.... picked up a Phase 4 randomly at a local shop. Big mistake 😄. I hung it right back up and now here I am watching videos on the LIFT. I figure if I can get through the new year without buying one I'll get over it.

I would like to know this too. Which one do you use the most. I am deciding on the two as well.

I shot the 29.yesterday and did not like the draw cycle at all

I bought the Switchback XT in 2006 as well. I placed my order for the 29.5 on Monday. I was able to shoot the Lift and Switchback back to back and things have really changed since the Switchback! I plan on keeping the Switchback since it has been and still is a great bow but really looking forward to the new Lift.

My bow shops an hour away, Lancaster Archery, well worth the drive.

He's not going to answer you. He doesn't run the channel. I would suggest looking at an athens, or bear, brand. They're both nice bows for the $. Every brand has a more budget friendly bow though. Mathews has mission bows, hoyt has the torrex, etc... biggest thing is go shoot them.

@@WolfinWolvesClothing713 okay thank you man

HHA has videos on RU-vid for the setup. I have the Hoyt picatinny & the tournament version on my hoyt & mathews they are an incredible sight.

I like it. Traded my phase four to it and im happy

Looks like the Marsupial…

He's come so far, it's hard not to be proud of him.

dude, the lift draw cycle is way stiffer than the phase 4. That's not good for hunting. And once loaded that light weight will wash out. I killed 4 deer this season with the PHASE 4. Don't look at it as what could have been if you waited.

Same here man...same here...we have no choice, but to rock what we have till we can upgrade again...or at least for me again! Took 3 deer with my Phase4 33 and it's been wonderful, haven't shot the LIFT, but I cant justify another upgrade without anything being majorly revolutionary let alone scrounge up another $2k to put into a trade up...

All promotion and advertising, like Chris’ excellent video, is designed to turn your “want” into a need. While lighter is better, you won’t realize the weight-reduction benefit unless you are hiking miles over mountains to hunt like a Western hunter. I also have the Phase 4 and ride a 4-wheeler to spots near my stands. Took two 8 points last week. While a lighter bow would be nice to have, carrying my bow on my pak isn’t currently a burden. With respect to the aggressive Cams, the increased speed would be nice but 5-6 ft per second won’t help me take more deer. Most of my shots are 20-30 yards in the woods where the big boys hide-out,. So, we’re talking imperceptible fractions of a second in terms of benefit. I appreciate your frustration with the salespeople. However, Count your blessings to have a Phase 4, continue to use it and reexamine your needs and wants again in 12-24 mo. By that point, they’ll have other bows whose tech will then have surpassed the Lift.

Is he shooting a 33 or 29.5?

Don't ask him! He is just can say "YES" 😃

I’m in the same boat, I have the v3x, what did you decide lol?
