I love my Lift 29.5 I was still shooting the V3X 29. My V3X is now my hunting back up bow. I got it Mossy Oak Bottomland camo. My last 3 Mathew’s bows were all solid colors. I needed a change. I always take my stock strings off my new Matthews and install rogue strings. But I’m giving this stock Match strings a shot this time. So far after 1000-1500 shots my peep hasn’t budged at all. Time will tell
I took the fat grip off and installed grip tape and the torque problem disappeared. I don’t know why Mathews would continue to put a rounded grip on these knowing people steadily complain about it.
@@jasonbarnes3188 I’m glad it works for you. Unfortunately the rounded edges seem to be the main complaint because it magnifies torquing for a lot of people.
I think I didn’t make this point very clear and it’s my fault. You are correct on that. But I think Mathews improved this bow just by not having to be so tedious with the finger adjustments! Thanks for the comment!
@@huntncast9313 another thing to consider when pressing newer Mathews bows in a LCA press is to have the fingers all the way forward. It prevents the steel tabs from contacting the pressured limbs and splitting them. The near parallel orientation at brace puts the limbs much closer to the finger bases.
Agreed! Honestly wish they made fingers that went further out (they may I’ve just not looked) just to help with taking it out of the press without having to open the press so much
We have several Matthews bows and love the handles and balance.. if you don't like it it can easily be changed.. I'm sure Matthews incorporates what sells and people that are not repeating customers don't rank high on their lists.
Agreed! I think that’s the great thing about Mathews. You would think they would change their grips close to what bowtech has done. But I love the uv grip so goes hand in hand lol
I shot it and it felt stupid light, like I was going to have to add a bunch of weight to it to be stable. The draw was stiff. Not smooth. Felt like at 75 with the v3x or phase 4 was equal to the 65lbs on the lift. Shoulder killer for sure. Giving up a bunch of stability to I guess walk it into the woods slightly lighter or just as heavy with the added weight just to shoot accurately. Good strings though.
I’ve felt after shooting thousands of arrows I’ve not needed to add more weight than usual to make it feel super stable while shooting. So I think that’s great as itself. It’s super stable as is. But at further ranges with the back bar and front it feels absolutely amazing.
I’ve worked on both phase 4 and v3x. And if the fingers are not absolutely perfect you had problems… with this bow they eliminated that in my opinion! Probably should’ve went more into that. Thanks!
That’s debatable. If they didn’t make the bow in a 27” draw I’d understand but they do so why not? It might not be the most efficient but it definitely is the most accurate. Which is what I was going for! I loved that bow just bc I shot so good with it!
Didn’t want to brag too much on the bow. Honestly wanted to be as biased as possible. At the end of the day I’m very happy with the bow and very much impressed with how well balanced it is. I will say I love it so far. Especially all of the new features this bow has compared to the phase 4! Time will tell if I love it haha! Thanks for the comment!
It comes directly from the mathews website, wider short limb profile. It also comes from everyone who works for mathews. Idk where your heads have been, but I'm hoping that helps you pull it out.
@@jwild5360a very easy Google search for mathews bows then click the hunting bows tab and it will say wider sorter limbs. The title does have wider limbs and the lift has the same limbs. You have to be goofing around there honestly is no way you are actually this dumb
Awful in the thumbnail. Then you go recommend it. You got your 1 view but lost me as a potential subscriber. Just thought you may want to know where you fell short. Good luck in the future
If you haven’t noticed most thumbnails are miss leading yet somewhat truthful at times. Was I pleased with everything in of the bow and said this was the absolute best bow and greatest bow of all time? No did I dog the bow the whole time like you expected me to? Also no. Sorry!
Mathews does not serve their loops by design. They believe not serving has benefits. I have never seen a durability issue with them not being served and no serving means not separation at all critical contact point.
Agreed. Only thing is this is me being picky. Looks is a big thing for me and if it doesn’t “look” as good as it functions then I’m not going to say it’s the best string on the market. If it looks as good as it functions then I’ll say it is. As of rn I give the strings a 4.5 on function and a 3 maybe 2.5 on looks. Again, just another opinion!
@@huntncast9313 I guess that is fair if you are grading a looks. But I think that is an opinion that should be thrown out with that caveat. Personally I see not value in picking form over function on bowstrings if those items are at odds. It would be like having a race car and picking the tires for it based on how it will look in the winners circle and not whether it will get you there in the first place
Meanwhile it's outselling everything on the market right now by a long shot. I have a Lift 33 and it's the best bow I've ever owned and I was coming from Hoyt. I think you are just one of those Mathews haters.
@@TangoOne Certainly not a Matthews hater. I just picked up the new PSE and the new Hoyt RX 8 the same week. The Matthews wasn't in the game when it was time to decide. I did not like it at all.
