This Bow is NASTY | Matthews Lift 29.5 Long-Term Review 

Thanks Dalton, it’s a lot of time and effort to make these videos. Much appreciated. I’m breaking in my Lift 29.5. It’s shoots differently than the phase 4. I was worried that I wouldn’t like the Lift draw cycle, but it has been no issue so far. I like the lighter weight versus the P4, but I am noticing more pin float. Need to mess with the stabs maybe. I don’t think it is as quiet as the P4, but it is still very quiet. Seems faster than P4 but I haven’t chrono’d mine yet. Draw mod is noticeably shorter than P4. I shot 28” on P4 and 28.5” on Lift. No complaint thus far on the string, it’s noticeably better than the zebra, but I don’t have enough shots thru it yet to have a final opinion. Hamskea epsilon works great on it. I do not like the bridgelock slop with sight bars….when you screw it down the bar runs at a slope versus a level bow. This needs to be fixed. I’ve tried bars from Black Gold, HHA and Axcel and all have had some slop (Axcel has least). Overall, I’m glad I upgraded from P4. Both are excellent bows.

That was by FAR one of if not the best bow review I personally have ever watched Answered a lot of the questions I had about it. Think I’m ready to upgrade and think this is the bow. Thanks Super review 👍

Brand new shooter here. Owned my lift 33 for less than a week and probably 600+ arrows through it already. I love it. It’s fully decked out and went with a thumb button. Thought it would be a harder learning experience finding out how to shoot and get dialed in but day one I was able to get groups close enough to wrap both my hands around at 60yrds and arrows touching. (Been shooting 6 arrows at a time)

thanks for this video! what would your opinion be on upgrading from a bowtech assassin, between the phase 4 29 vs the lift 29.5? this will be my 3rd year hunting whitetail.

Any advice on 3rd axis adjustment I have the fixed pin bridge lok sight and I own the hamskea 3rd axis tool but can't find a flat spot that it will fit on my 29.5🤔

My lift 29.5 has 60# 85% 30” mods on it, and when I got it set up it was at about 62.5 lbs so I backed out the top and bottom limb bolt about 3/4 of a turn and it was right at 60lb draw weight, after 250 shots my bow was reading 58lbs I bottomed the limb bolts back down and am getting 59.8lbs is it normal to lose 2 lbs of draw weight during break in ? Also the only complaint I have about the lift is the match string end loops not being served, it seems to make it more difficult to adjust for peep twist or timing adjustments. Otherwise it seems to be an amazing bow, I also have a Hoyt Alpha X 30 as well and it’s going to be hard to decide which one to take to the stand this fall.

was the let-off 80 or 85?

There is alot of used lift bows on ebay why?

Love these videos, I sent you an email. This is what I want. Waiting on a response thanks in advance 🙏🏽

Stop using those big ass thick string loops. All that so call string twist will disappear. That or use Gas strings, some other custom strings and loose your Matthews warranty. I use the thinner loops and do over under on them. It stops the sring twist ect...

FYI - Same exact strings. Different name. Just ordered new strings after 3 months and 4K arrows. Peep never stayed straight from the beginning. Mathews strings are sh*t.
