I went to the bow shop yesterday I’ve been shooting Mathews for the last 5 years but yesterday I shot the lift then the rx8 then pse after shooting all 3 bows about 20 arrows each I ended up buying the rx8 it felt the best to me by a far shot

We need a Mach 30 v RX8 comparison video ASAP! 😎

@sheyanderson4371 5 месяцев назад

Always appreciate the reviews, one of my go to channels for them. I am not a carbon bow guy, even in the slightest, but I am always happy to see a fellow hunter/shooter get hyped and excited about a bow they enjoy! Keep up the great work.

Awesome I was thinking of a lift maybe this RX8 might be it!

@juanrodriguez-mu7ko 25 дней назад

@zachlambert8219 5 месяцев назад

I shot a ventum pro 33 at 83lbs and it pulled smoother than most bows at 75! I loved that thing and recently sold it for a carbon era at 75lbs and love that as well. Hoyt has made 80lb very achievable for someone who shoots regularly with good form! Great content and love the videos!

@Shawnbo812 5 месяцев назад

Is it really worth the upgrade from the 7 to the 8. Yes the 8 is a little faster but the RX7 got the better overall score. I know it’s comfort over speed but which one you taking if you had those two as your choice?

@328am 5 месяцев назад

I was given a 2003 Hoyt Magnatec XT a few years ago to get into hunting. I killed my first deer and shot a Turkey at 50yards. Hoyt makes a solid and long lasting product.

@meadmaker4525 21 день назад

Cool review! Let me pose a question for you: At around 78#, the RX8 was pushing those lighter arrows at over 300 FPS, which is Monster Safari territory. And those 2 bows are about the same amount of money. We all know accessory prices can vary wildly, depending on what you get, so we'll ignore that part of it. For the same amount of money and roughly the same kind of speed performance, which bow would YOU rather have? I haven't shot either one, personally, but I've seen your reviews on both, and I'm curious what you think. I still have my Hoyt Alphamax 35, which, at the time I bought it (2009), was smoother than anything else on the rack.

Liked the review, and got a little laugh at the short draw poeple at 80lbs!!! I shoot a V3 28 at 80+lbs and love it I'm 80% sure I'm going to get an RX 8. Like some one else said an honest down to earth review And what I was looking for 80+ lbs THANK YOU

@bc4281 3 месяца назад

I ended up going with the Alpha X30...and I freakin love it! I wasn't sure the half pound weight difference was worth the extra $$ for the RX8. Also, where I normally shoot, there's usually blustery canyon winds and this thing hardly moves. I think all the extra cut outs on the riser lower the profile to the wind...just my guess. Plus, 80 lbs on this thing feels like 70 lbs on my old bow but the speeds are so much better and I can shoot it all day.

@mikeftball44 5 месяцев назад

Not going to lie I am very excited to see you review the Mach 30 and the evolve 33&30. Torn between the RX-8 and Mach30 just like the fact the paw is 100 percent made in America

Is it really worth the upgrade from the 7 to the 8? Yes the 8 is a little faster however the 7 got a better score overall. I know comfort over speed, but which one you taking if you had to pick one?

@BigWulfe 5 месяцев назад

You don’t think stabilizers will be needed if you have the quiver mounted on it for hunting? It’s that stable? I have an Alpha X 33 with 70-80 limbs. I’m going to try it with out the stabilizers. Hopefully it is as stable as I’m hoping

@lgentry4832 5 месяцев назад

Hey BB, just a heads up the speed rating on Hoyt bows is ATA, not IBO. I prefer ATA personally.

@jonathanbarksdale8595 5 месяцев назад

I love my rx7. Would pay for an 8? They seem so close? Want to shoot the lift to.

@user-ve7fi4dt8i 5 месяцев назад

I honestly was not that impressed when hoyt announced the 2024 bows, but after trying them out the 1/4 inch draw length adjustments, let off and backwall settings are just amazing. You can just dial in the feel of the bows just perfect. But i wish they would get rid of the stupid shim system and replace it with something like the bowtech has. I agree that they look really cool, a buddy of mine is really into all hoyt accessories and dressing the bow up, his rx7 ultra looks more like something the navy seals would use 😅. Keep up the amazing reviews.

@Constitutionkiller-ye1xw 5 месяцев назад

Ok Rambo

@WolfinWolvesClothing713 5 месяцев назад

Why? How often does a bow need shimmed? Once? So extra crap to keep track of, extra weight on the limbs, just to be able to turn a screw once the whole time you own it. I don't understand why guys looking at an 1800 dollar bow, won't spend 375 on a decent press.

@krisaunedi4920 5 месяцев назад

Happy New Years Brandon. I just recently got my fully loaded RX-8 in Elevated II camo. I also got the Garmin Xero A1I Pro and all of the other accessories all from Hoyt. I got it in 70lbs draw weight. I thought about getting the 80lbs but at the end of the day I thought that don't worry about the heavy poundage bow and just worry about being consistent with the bow and shot placement in my opinion is the ultimate key factor. I really do like the review that you did on this bow I would have to agree with you in all aspects of the bow. After this review from watching your vlog I just might go and buy another RX-8 in 80lbs for a moose and elk bow setup with a heavy hitting arrow. Keep up the great work we all really enjoy your content 👍

@BackyardBows 5 месяцев назад

I’ll be over to borrow that bow 😂 sweet set up

@PAKraig 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for another great review. I've had my RX7 for over 2 years now and I'm still in love with it. Is the RX8 worth the purchase or just buy the new GoStix 2.0 and be happy?? 😎

@NMBowhntr 5 месяцев назад

I put a 10” stabilizer and the Go-sticks 2.0 on my RX-7, and now my cam is out of the dirt! Absolutely love the new Go-Sticks, because I hated having my cam in the dirt. Just loosen and pull on the legs to adjust them, they are very cool, but you have to figure them out. Very well thought out, don’t think you need to upgrade unless you gotta have the 1/4” adjustment or adjustable back wall.

@WolfinWolvesClothing713 5 месяцев назад

Don't upgrade. Just get the 8 and keep the 7 for a backup. 😊

The Mathews Lift made the RX8 irrelevant this year. It's lighter, faster and MUCH cheaper than the RX8 (and made in America)

@BackyardBows 5 месяцев назад

I loved the lift as well, same weight 4 lbs out the box, 10 fps slower, yes less expensive

@shanebolerhunting 5 месяцев назад

Definitely a Mathew’s fan boy. This bow is over 10fps faster than the Lift.

@o.n.e.wayhunting 5 месяцев назад

Every Lift I have tested at the shop and over a chrono when apples to apples at 29/70 has been faster than every Alpha X. I know the Alpha X is going to depend on where you are at on the mod, and if you’re at the very top, you gain about 5 extra fps. Both are excellent, but the 33” bows the Lift was both faster, quieter, and lighter. Excellent bow offerings. The 29.5 Lift and the Alpha X30 I tested were both 29/70 with a 440gr arrow and the Lift clocked 291 to the Xs 283.

@shanebolerhunting 5 месяцев назад

@@o.n.e.wayhunting well this rx8 clicked 10pt faster than the lift. Idk about the alpha.

@jeffspencer7489 5 месяцев назад

What is the cost benefit? I can get an Aluminum riser bow that weighs dang near the same, shoots as accurately and at a cost of 50 to 70% of carbon. All for the potential benefit of keeping your hand warmer when it’s really cold. Hard to call any carbon bow GOAT in my opininion.

@BackyardBows 5 месяцев назад

Dam near indestructible, and GOAT category cost is irrelevant, the hold/speed combo is 10/10. Instead of just disagreeing rebuttal what’s your GOAT i personal love to here everyone’s opinion/opposition

@NMBowhntr 5 месяцев назад

Some of us don’t care about $500 +/- differences when it comes to archery/hunting. If you love the looks and the feel, go for it I say. To each their own, there are GOAT aluminum bows, too. Just be excited to shoot your bow, and enjoy the process, and it’s a good day!😎

@jeffspencer7489 5 месяцев назад

@@BackyardBows Never had an aluminum bow that destructed on me. Not sure many people have. Would love to see one of yours that has and how that occurs. Currently shoot the new Bowtechs and Mathews aluminum risers. All great shooting bows. I’m not into defining GOATs it seems meaningless. Here are the differences I see. All of these new flagships cost significantly less than Carbon counterparts. All as durable as carbon in any hunting and shooting situation. All as warm as carbon when I’ve been hunting and more importantly all made here in the USA for much less money getting the same thing done. Where’s the value?

@WolfinWolvesClothing713 5 месяцев назад

@jeffspencer7489 not sure where you saw him say anything about one destructing? I've had 4 carbon hoyts and not had one bit of problem with them, and you obviously don't hunt anywhere actually cold, because aluminum is not even close to comparable when it's 10-20 degrees and 10 mph wind 15 ft in the air. The difference in price is honestly around 450. New mathews, if you want to use their proprietary crap, you'll offset that cost drinking their kool-aid, and adding their stabs, sight, rest etc... so not really much difference. They're all good bows anymore, it's obviously a personal preference as to value, and weather it's worth it, and how bad you want one.
