PSE NTN 33 Custom Review!! 

A lot of people knocking this bow... I told myself I wasn’t even going to try one at SCHEELS and was just going to stick with my Mathews Vertix. I tried it, loved it, brought my vertix in to do a back to back comparison and decided to get one. Found a used one on eBay with 70-80# limbs, and I must have got lucky because once I put my rest on it was a perfect bullet hole right out of the box. I’m pulling 78# at 30” and it feels like I’m pulling my 65# vertix. Plus one perk I like that nobody mentions is the trough cut out of the front of the riser which for me aids in consistent grip when I’m at full draw and let my fingers rest in that groove. I’m shooting 510gr arrows at around 280fps and couldn’t be happier with my groups. 90% let off is such a blessing, I can hold my 5# holding weight all day. That evolve cam system is the smoothest draw cycle I’ve ever felt, and I feel that it makes the perceived draw weight a lot less that what it really is. I couldn’t be happier

You know I’ve watched every single one of your videos. I can almost sense your disappointment in this video. Thank you for always having honest reviews. Nothing has came out this year that makes me want to change from my Traverse.

Nice review! Appreciate the honesty on the cons of tuning the bow.

The 2 Berger holes are so you can put 2 bolts in & crank them down to keep rest from rotating on just one bolt. The riser cutouts in sight area are changed from 2 sight mount locations to just one, this allowed for more material in riser to accommodate the solid mount of the cable guard.

Yes! Thanks for the upload. I've grown to value your uploads over many of the others, and I was wondering about this bow.

There’s no way I want to replace my halon 32 but I do love the look of this bow. Next year I look forward to seeing the next release with a bow that had more time to develop. This bow was thrown together and not that groundbreaking but I love the idea PSE wants to listen to Dudley.

I did watch John Dudley's video on how he designed the bow .Definitely worth a watch as he explains the arrow rest shape and how it was designed to take the Nock On rest, plus the riser design .I think the bow would work the best if you use all of his products and not try and fit other brands to it. It seems more for the John Dudley fan base and people who just want to use his product. Nice bow though.I am a bit of a PSE fan myself. You should really watch Johns video on this bow before make any judgement's That being said ,this is still a very honest video on how the bow performs and its similarity to the PSE EVO NXT

I had to shim my pse nxt 33 for a shoot this last weekend. I found an easy way to swap the shims in a press was to place a piece of painters blue tape below the cam, between the limbs when u r pulling the shims. They stick to it fairly easily. Getting the axle back thru is a pain but if u have a screwdriver that is the exact same size as the axle u can push that thru first to line everything up. I found moving both the top and bottom cam 1 small .20 spacer away from the cable side fixed a 3/4” tear. Initially I moved the big shim and the cam lean was so bad the string stop wouldn’t touch. Had to take it all back apart and reshim. Proving once again that small changes make a big difference in archery

Man.....thank you....I never knew the roller guard can be used for tuning....thank you I have a xpedite and stealth

If the limbs aren't the same color as the riser,. The only other color that works is black. IMHO. Some of the other things are a step back over the original. Just not worth the extra coin I don't think. Not just for a extra couple of holes and another color.

There are lots of bows that do not have adjustable cable guides. I don’t see how this makes it a negative. If you’ve watched Dudley’s “opinion” on why he wanted to make this change you’ll understand.

Nice review. I’ve shot PSE since 2011 and when they went to this cam system, that shimming b.s. is when I gave up on them. If you’re going to shoot this type of system, the Mathews, in my opinion, is the way to go.

Wow... Shimming sounds like a nightmare. Can't believe they haven't updated that.

When you see the headache hassel this cam tuning system has and then see the bowtech revolt being able to move the cam by turning a screw. Pse seems way behind

Man, I like watching your videos😎🏹

Great work as always Kellen! I appreciate you brother

Upgraded graphics Give John a some time and he will make some major changes once he has time to work through it - what will come down the pipes for next year???

I just feel like tuning with the roller guards like that is like taking air out of a tire to composite for your car pulling going down the road yes it works but you really have a problem that need corrected the correct way

Can’t imagine how it’s so slow???? The Evolve cams put out 343 FPS on the Evolve and Evoke. I know it’s a 7” brace vs 6” but .....wow

PSE fan, haven't had one BUT, from what they have produced in the past few years, the Evoke LT seems to be the ticket. Just came and went in the spring? This is very similar but the LT is almost a pound lighter. Have an Evoke 31. Love it. Wish they would leave the riser solid in front of the burger hole so a set screw has a place to grip. Like the bow pod holes, great for open ground hunts, other then that nothing special.

Thanks for a great review. I’m thinking about buying one but the fixed cable guard really puts me off to the point where I think I’d prefer the nxt.

Nice honest review. I appreciate that. I really enjoy your videos. Where is your shop located?

Like someone else said I'm a Dud fan and appreciate what he's done for the community, with that said I'm not a fan of this bow as a whole. I have watched all his videos about this and understand what he did and I get it..that's cool and all but most Nockon followers I know personally just follow him for the knowledge, not to be sheeple and "WeLl DuD sHoOtS tHiS aNd ThIs AnD tHaT So I aM tOo" lol. Find what works for you and use it, learn it inside and out, apply his teachings and learn to do stuff yourself. I'm not bashing by any means so NTN folks don't faceroll your keyboards ready to fight ahahahaha. Good on Dud being able to do what he's wanted to do for a long time. As far as your your review on this and pretty much everything else man I enjoyed it as always. I happen to agree with your "opinion" on nearly everything most of the time so I thoroughly enjoy your videos and what I consider to some of the most unbiased reviews out there. Thanks brother.

Nice review, while most of the new bows are awesome, that Black5 is still smoking!

If you watched the video PSE put out they explain why they did all the changes and the roller guard was the average between the best spots engineers picked it should sit at static position

Its nice that people can actually comment on these videos, while Dudley is a legend it really makes me think less of him for turning comments on his shit off, I want to know what other people think about his gear that actually has it. While I'm sure his switch from hoyt to pse was money driven, which i get, pse doesn't make better bows that hoyt or mathews, that's a fact.

I knew this wasn’t going to be the best of reviews. Ever since I saw the broadhead tuning video and you specifically called out JD I knew where it was going. Maybe y’all don’t get along, I don’t know, but it’s obvious there’s a little tension there. Which is sad

Is it possible for you do do a Kure review? I have seen some reviews but I just feel like I’m not getting the full deal from those channels.

Love Dudley and what he as contributed to archery. With that said, not the biggest fan of the color of this bow, lol. To each his own. Dudley is the man.

John did a video on tuning the ntn, he said to move the limbs instead of the shims. Probably better to do that.

Also in the yoke there is a hole for a limb driver rest. PSE should go to a roller guard.

Could you please do a PSE nock on EVO NTN 33 vs Hoyt RX-4 ultra

I liked the look of NXT, As much your paying PSE should already have the cams shimmed correctly by using a hooter shooter.. takes out human error. Theres not very many proshops that know how to correctly tune a bow using the shim spacers. That's why I feel PSE doesn't do as well. Other Bow manufacturers as well

Prime black series vs pse evo nxt series. Whats your views? Im interested in the 31 or 33 from either company

@InsideOutPrecision...Can you check the thread/tap size of the lower machined threads in the riser for the "QuickStands" and let me know what they are? If you happen to have some bolts/screws sitting around that you know the thread size on that screw into them, that would be awesome if you could check that out...if not, no big deal...keep up the killer work on the vids, both for reviews and info sessions!

LOL if it was 365 I would buy 2 of them pronto!

We just need to see the LAS come into the Evo line up of bows.

Pretty surprised by the chrono speed for the 450grain, my bear species is remarkably faster with 69# at 28 draw and a third of the price. Probably not as smooth to shoot as the PSE but it looks like this wasn’t that easy to draw from watching this video. Maybe I’ll keep the species a little while longer, the NXT was a front runner for my upgrade.

Considering the following, is my arrow correctly spined? Want to max out my speed, while keeping heavy-ish weight and obviously not damaging my bow w too light a spine. Setup for hogs n deer. Recently setup a PSE drive XL 2020. 60# 30.5 inch draw 31 1/8 inch arrows Gold Tip Hunter XT 300 spine 9.3 GPI 125 grain BH and 25 grain inserts 470 grains total arrow weight 300 spine w/ 12-13% foc, don’t remember the exact %age Shooting 258 FPS Thanks!!

take it apart and powder coat or Cerakote in whatever color you want

I always take it personally when you dont respond

I really like your videos but if you took 5 mins to watch Dudley explain the changes you could have given a lot better review. Just saying this is different doesn’t really do it justice, most of those changes were so people can fit his preferred accessories to the bow. The elevate rest couldn’t go flat and the sight holes had to be adjusted I think for the sight. That’s also why the riser has the slightly different holes and why the cable guard isn’t adjustable.

Dude where did you get the Prime hat. Can I get one? I shoot the Black 5. Thanks!!

Does it come with fittings like the stabaliser, arrow rest ect or do these need to be bought separately?

Have you reviewed the bow tech Revolt X?

That bright green string with the color of that bow looks hideous. I agree with you string would look better if it was black

So it shoots 4 fps faster than a 61lb supra focus with the same weight arrow. How is it the speed has fallen so far from the evolve line? Shot 417gr goldtip velocity xt for 3d all year last year 294fps

In the presentation of this bow even dudley seems to be not THAT habby about it. I mean its a big step for his brand and the bow is perfect and he could shoot x all they with every bow.. But i think the next 2-3 years will show.. There will come many more changes i think

Bow is shooting a little faster than the nxt 33 review that you did. Even though there basically the same bow.

Best Quiver for NXT in KUIU camo?

Hey I work at bass pro shop as a archery technician and I love it but I’m wondering how I could take my technician skills to the next level and eventually work at a pro shop. Do you have any advice ?

Can you test the bows of apa king cobra or black mamba ? Greetings from germany 😅

Is there going be a Dudley crossbow I got private ranch elk hunt booked for next year 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

What the price on this bow? And do u have left handlers?

I reckon pse has been chasing Mathews forna couple years now. They can't directly copy the top hat system so they have to use all those washers lol

📝

I'm far from expert but I think your drawing techniqe is wrong. I could be wrong too but isn't it easier when your right elbow is level with your left hand? I have only some cheap shitty compound but it's way easier for me to draw with the right elbow level with left hand to minimize leverage of your arm and maximize the torque. Also forgive my english... Thanks for the video.

Dudley left the Hoyt fan boy club dazed and confused. Now even Joe Rogan is switching to a PSE.

You can get the carbon in the same color

I'll Stick with my Mathews but thanks.

What rest is on that bow?

Evoke vs evo nxt which one is better

Review the lobo

I dont think I could ever draw 70lb left handed.

honestly... Dudley showing that he is 6/6 one shot bullet holes on tuning kinda makes me question this info..

You could buy a turd, paint it flo-green and sell it as a cover scent to those sheep...

Dudely going to be mad at you for knocking his bow....lol

Leaving vs being asked to leave a company are two different things.

Too many damps on that bow.. and the color scheme is hideous...

Bowtech deadlock

Tell dudley to turn on his youtube comments.....

Enjoy your videos but, maybe do some more research before you try to talk about a bow.

This creator broadhead tunes the opposite way JD does. Not worth listening to. This kid doesn’t doesn’t understand basic flight principles.

Really pointless changes. Just to up charge bow to 1100$ not worth that at all. Plus the color combo looks like shit
