I Shot Every Flagship Bow w/ GLOVE & BLINDFOLDED 

It really goes to show that people have bias due to what they think it should feel like, and it also shows that all the bows are pretty close and you shouldn’t pick a bow based on draw cycle alone because you’ll get use to it

It just shows that people can be very biased when doing comparisons. Which is why I don't care what someone else thinks of a particular bow. I have to shoot it for myself.

Draw cycle and hand shock are irrelevant when it comes to shooting a bow well….

Me at my bow shop, Can I use a blindfold? Bow shop says, stop using drugs!

Props for doing the vid over with the glove!!

You guys need to do more videos together. Educational and funny.

Great video. Gotta go into my local shop Tuesday and ask them if I can bring a blindfold and welding glove in and shoot some bows 😂

@8:22 I love how happy MFJJ is when he gives him the Darton and he likes it but is wrong. Then just for the icing immediately hands him the bow he thought it was.... nice.

This video was fantastic. So glad you did the glove test follow up to the first blind test.

I find it interesting that you always like the PSE Evolve (even when pulling it at The Bow and Arrow shop) but always discount it.

Awsome between the 2. Happy you guys did the glove one quick and didn't have to wait on this video.

Hahaha. Great video. But seeing you guys pull out the keystone lights makes me think you should have shot the frig!! Hahahaha.

He looks like the goofy clone in the movie "multiplicity" "She touched my peppy" if he could've just said that I would have lost it

Pretty interesting test! You know you'll catch some heat for this one though! Love the interaction between you and MFJJ! Keep the videos coming!

That is hilarious! I'm over here dying. I love the honesty thank you

I love your attitude, keep being you ! BTW - I was about to pull the trigger on a HOYT RX8 ultra, now i'm on the fence !

Let’s goooo we get the part 2

Gotta say i was hoping he would have went ahead and snuck ur bow in just to see if the glove threw u off. As always my brothers, great vid. Hope to get to meet and shoot with tall someday.

A new bowhunter here with the Darton Consequence as my first bow that I’ve been shooting for a few months now. I’ve handled the Sequel as well at the local shop and grantedly the balance is significantly better, but the draw cycle in my beginner mind didn’t differ as such, since they do share the same cams. Didn’t shoot it though so I can’t tell how much better the flagship is in that regard. Still nice to see that as the Sequel did rank rather high, that means that my midrange bow is actually rather damn good for its price. An interesting variation of this would be a blind comparison with perhaps fewer bowyers, but taking also entry level and midrange bows to the mix from each manufacturer. I suspect it would have some brutal results (looking at Bear here).

Backwall is soft on the prime? Does anyone else feel that way? (first real bow purchase) I personally think my inline3 is great! Was considering upgrading to a Elite or PSE in the future.

His reaction on the Bear was funny. Way better test with glove on. I will the say ,the way a bow looks has big impact on my decision to purchase one.

If there was a way that MFJJ could incorporate James into his bow reviews whenever the new ones all come out, I think it would be the best review by far. It already is probably the best review that you can find, but then if you put James's personal opinions and everything else in it would just be hands down the best. No doubt

The type of video the entire archery world needs to see . When people are so set in there ways of i shoot " THIS " brand and its the " BEST" thinking. they are influencing and have made up there minds before they shoot the bows. its perfectly fine to be set on a bow and buy it but if you want to find the one you like best its not always what you think. Mad props for this video with MFJJ , this video hits different. id like to see more of this type of content , real data for real shooters. i wonder if you could do this with bow accessories , releases ? , Stabs ? , clean some arrows and shoot them for a bit and see what you actually like ? maybe force yourself to try different arrow weights without knowing the weight? . Much love Bow Disciples

Hi Guys, excellent follow up, good job. More, More ! !

For a second I thought he grabbed bud lights which would have ruined this entire review. Love them keystones!

Hell yeah, awesome video. That was a lot of fun. Really cool seeing how your perception changed with the glove on.

That my friends is Bias at play, don’t believe you brain always ha ha

Darton got best review

This is very interesting. I think you should do it one more time give a score move on. Don’t try to guess the bow.

Great video and brings a whole different way to test bows. May want to check the Bear to make certain the cams are set correctly. Seems to be a big problem when with bow shops not putting in the correct setting.

How a bow feels on the shot is pretty much the last thing to worry about.

Great video. I think that was an awesome way to test a bow.

Just goes to show all the big brands are great, get the one that fits you and your wallet 😂

Great video guys!

You're making me want to try an Elite.

Seemed like the Darron killed it man

Very informative

All about the feeling

WOW!!!!!!! So it’s all in your head technically. So because it’s a name brand people think it’s good, but the proof is in the pudding. Great video 😮👍🏼

Yea she talks to much

Man this was awesome

I will not watch this... unless you are wearing the mankiny!

Should have thrown in a recurve with a d-loop on it…

That was a way cool test I loved it guys.. not to mention my two favorite archery RU-vidrs together in the same video way cool... 🤙🏼✌🏼

You guys need to do one where you eliminate a bow after shooting them all,like MFJJ does with new shooters! You guys keep me crackin up,good job!

Only thing that could have made this better is having Brandon McDonald invovled too - does he still put out content?????

That was fun

Bullshit

Haha, love the video. Although I love my Persist. Keep up the good content.

These videos are hilarious. In the best with James and Josh's little wise ass cracks and what not and then Brianna throws in her two parts especially cuz her and James are a couple dude. If you guys live closer together and made videos all the time, it'd be off the chain or Rocker however you want to say it

1000th like

Honestly I know this would be a pain for a regular shop to go through every day. But there is really so much bias when choosing a bow. I’d say majority of people coming in already have 3-4 brands there not even considering but I bet this test would surprise them. Kinda thinking more shops should go this route lol.

Will love you guys do comparison of broadheads, but with live animals (pigs for example), and show results.

Great update to the testing by further blinding yourself to any clues. Looks like they all draw roughly the same, probably best to pick a bow based on accessories/features and what looks cool, honestly.

James’s vibe and personality is MONEY!!

Love it 😂

Awesome video series guys, definitely need to refine a way to blind shoot these bows! Thanks for putting in this amount of work!

Josh those video were awesome with the glove and blindfold but the video before James can tell just buy the grips wow that amazing

I laughed my arse off when he said the lift felt like a PSE😂😂😂 That's the worst feeling mathews I've ever shot. Ya'll should get him to shoot a phase 4, and see if it feels better to him. Those new cams are trash imo.

Buy a bow based off how well it holds, weight, ata, performance.. they all draw back

This is a great video! It would be super cool if SVA offered a version of this to customers in the shop. I would make an appointment, pay a fee and drive to Spokane to buy a new bow if I could shoot a series of bows blind before I made a purchase.

I would definitely have to try this out myself. I still think you are going to be able to tell even with the gloves and blindfolded because of the grip. Great video though

I have talked about doing this with my buddy for years when go shoot bows. Just hand me the bow and don't tell me what it is. A glove is the answer. This is a great video.

Absolutely awesome videos with the blind folds!!!

Chugs like Napoleon Dynamite.

Elite Kairos would've got a 7.8-8.0.

Hell yeah man, I bet this was so much fun to do, loved it, hope to see more of this, I wish the manufacturers would do tests like these

Always a great time when Bow Discipline drops a video.

Yall should consider having multiple people do this test to see if others have similar outcomes

So safe to assume you won’t be replacing the bowtech with a Bear 😂

Coll vid

Test 3, James has to tell which arrow hits his 🥜 blindfolded

Harbor freight arc welding gloves

😂😂

I liked this video a lot until you pulled a Keystone out of the fridge.

i wonder if i can have my friends do this when they go bow shopping for their first one

One of the best comparence videos I have ever seen. Also the funnest.

He looks like Ali G’s cousin with the hat and the glasses lol 😂

Should have used mid grade bows to see if he could do the same thing

You guys are awesome this video was the bomb!!!

This was a lot better test, I liked seeing the unbiased thoughts

Thank you guys this was freakin awesome 🤘🏻

I think you beat them up enough 😂😂 those bear bows are not great tho

Absolutely spectacular video!

Ill say it again. This test setup needs to be on a shirt!

Good ol keystone. Cheers to a good video boys

Don’t kill the fridge 😱 😂😂😂

Seeing the darton that high might of sold me on it

Feels like holding a 2x4 😂😂😂

Great video , best bow test I ever seen 👍🏼

so do you guys have a favourite? having shot the 'full bow feel' in the first vid, and then just the draw and backstop on 2nd vid, which are your top bows?

Cool video was fun to watch

😂😂I ordered a bear Alaskan XT...can he shoot the price point and mid range bows for comparison to the flagship bows? Sounds like a cool video? Big fan always watch

This is great!! Awesome video idea.

Great test & info. I couldn’t see all the data on the board at the end and then the data was quickly discussed. So hard to tell how each bow really ranked out. It would be helpful to have a data table pop up on the screen that could be paused for review. Thanks again for the test!

Great Video Fellas

Love that Keith Stone was able to make an appearance!

What’s up with bear flagships having basically zero valley and ten ton draw cycles? Who at Bear pulled it back and was like “yup this is the one, let’s make that our flagship” ??!

The Gimp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

out standing vid. amazing he though the Darton was a bowtech.
