VXR 28 VS 31.5 CHALLENGE 

28 is the ultimate hunting bow,thanks for the excellent video 👍

So excited to be getting a 28 this week. Been a little over 5 years since I've upgraded. Ready to send an arrow into a Kansas whitetail this fall hopefully!

Good shooting! I think you should switch the rods from the 28 to the 31.5 and then do this same challenge again to see if the longer rods help the 31.5!

Dude. Thank you for putting out content during these slow days! Swarm on, Bee

Just some average hunter in Indiana wishing I could come shoot with you. Love your videos man

The Ultra view Aluminum hinges were sold out, so had to order a Brass version, so excited to compare it to my B3 Ghost as far as comfort and in the hand feel... Though I do wish there was a "Beereal" Edition for the Aluminum that came with yellow 3rd finger and yellow thumb peg with a signed by Chris Bee card that I could order for my son who is a huge fan of yours.

Love the video. The 1st commercial was for Hoyt. Lol.

Every day if you don’t post I still watch others over again and they don’t get old

I am deciding btwn the vxr 31.5 and the bowtech realm sr6... You are making me lean towards vxr!!!!

Man it is about time y'all switch to a Mathews. The new bows are so sick. I am surprised that you didn't get the subalpine from sitka on your bow. Those grips are so sweet can't wait to get some.

Great video! Would love to see the vs with the 28 and the target bow!!! Could even bring back the 31.5 with the same spec stabilizers for the ultimate test.

Man went and shot both of these bows yesterday at the local archery shop, and dang their smooth. Incredibly smooth draw cycle. Very accurate. Was very impressive. My only nock is the 31 is a little heavy in my opinion

Chrisbee, My conclusion from watching: is it seemed you were much more comfortable looking in the 28! It seemed as though the geometry was more conducive to your form 🐝 real!

You should do this same shootoff with the 31.5 and your trx 👊

Love my Halon 32 6 but thinking of upgrading to the VXR this year, but can't decide between the 28 or 31.5. I was thinking the 31.5 was going to come out on top of this challenge, I was surprised. Still leaning towards the 31.5, think you need to redo this challenge, longer ATA bows are suppose to shoot better.....aren't they??? lol Great vids!

Chris have you got a monster safari? Just curious. Id love to see a video of that old school beast

Should have put the longer ones on the 31.5

Got my 28 in november and like what you said about the stabilizer length being needed for the short axle to axle. Been running an up front 8" but have been wanting a longer one especially past 40 yards so good info.

Thanks for the great content through tough times.

Hey Chris, Fun Video Challenge. I noticed a wide variance in your follow-throughs from shot to shot. Both the bow position and trigger hand positions vary on completion of the release from shot to shot. Trying to finish shots with more consistency in form has improved my shooting over the years. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean. Not being critical as you are a good shot - just trying to offer helpful suggestions. Bee Well!

im new to the sport, would be cool if some more basic explanations for why this test is relevant and the differences would be helpful

Could you also do a hunt bow vs hunting bow challenge

What size hoodie you rocking? I have a Mathews Gray/White hoodie that is wide, not tall enough... curious how they compare as I'm between M & L.

7:52 that smile on your face

Chris, what bow do you really like better? Shooting / hunting

Chris you make the draw on this 70lb set up look so easy. What let off module is on these bows and is it the bow or you that makes it look so smooth ?

Why don't you try shooting the first 3 arrows with the 28 and next end first with the 31.5, it is certainly different to shoot the first 3 arrows cause you are not as tired as with the last 3 arrows and also affects the stabilizers setup as you said

Do you think the results would be very different if you switched stabilizer set ups? It would be interesting to see how different stabilizer set ups change your groups

What is your height and draw length? I’m just curious if that is a factor between the two. I’m 6’ 2” & 30 inch draw, I shoot a 35 inch axle to axle bow because of that. Now I have read and seen how the new VXR 31.5’s riser is significantly longer for a “compact” bow than most in the recent year models from any company, but I have shot shorter axle to axle bows with a bit less accuracy while my buddies that are average height get opposite results. With that said each of these bows are extremely accurate and of course it depends on the shooter, we all have our bad days. Quality video/audio and review! Thanks guys!

Great video....do you think the 28 shot better because of the custom/better strings ?

Nice shooting! is this a backtension release?

Chris Bee is the long lost twin of cycling great Peter Sagan👍

Seems like its a big deal that you can't shoot with that puffy jacket on right? For a hunting bow ill have a lot more clothing on when it counts. Going to be issues with string contact???

Your actually amazing. Please keep making good videos

I love my vxr 28 the backbar length for me seemed to be the biggest factor. For me it was clearly the longer back bar the better.💪

Hey, Chris having trouble keeping my grip the same every shot any tips??

I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Great comparison! Can't believe the 28 won. I have both and would've bet on the 31.5. Let me know when the grips are ready!

I've watched a lot of your videos and i'm wondering what is the clack sound when you're just about to hit the trigger... This is caused from your string release? I mean that I've found it helpfull in case of knowing, that your just about to shot your arrow. Nice comparison of bows, great channel, just subscribed and waiting for new videos. Greetings from Poland.

so repeat the same scenario but switch stabilizers on the bows? That would tell you if its the bow or the set up

Just found your channel, because I just got back to shooting. If you lost the music, or at least didn't leave it in constantly, it would be tighter. You are making some great content!

Good video but the music drove me crazy

Which rest would you recommend on the 28”? I ordered one a couple weeks ago and I’m wanting to go to a hamskea rest.

Where do you get the large round targets from?

Hey Chris, I'm still pretty new to archery and love your videos! I recently purchased a VXR 28 and it's an amazing bow! Besides form, in your opinion what's the most important piece of equipment? Sight, rest, release, etc....? Thanks for the great review! Subscribed! 👍

great video, but the only conclusion i can make is that those arrows are tuned better for the 28", or the bow itself is tuned better for the arrows. human error, as you said, is also a factor.

Can you make a grip for a bear cruzer I know I don’t have a Mathews but I would like to have one of your grips you’ve actually helped my groups improve from 6 inch groups at 20 yards to touching arrow groups almost every time

Chris how many degrees is the quick disconnect in the front stabilizer? which pin did you install on the ultraview scope? I prefer it that way than with lenses.

D Loop lengths are totally different. The 31.5 has to be at least 1/4" longer than the one on the 28. This could be enough to cause more float when aiming. I'd measure the actual draw lengths between the bows and set the 31.5 so it close to the length of the 28.

*PLEASE HELP* I’m somewhat new to hunting with a bow... I have all of my attachments that I prefer on a bow BUT I’m looking for a great hunting compound bow... I mostly hunt wild pigs, deer, and elk... I am completely lost because there are so many choices *Needs to be* •mostly quiet on the draw •reliable •cost doesn’t really matter because I don’t mind saving up for the perfect bow •my draw length is around 28inches (not sure if that helps) •light but strong (ANY answer is better than no answer)

Any update on the bows? Is the 28 still shooting more consistent than the 31.5 or was it the stabilizer and bar that made all the difference?

Hi Chris bee, love your vids, keep up the good work!

where did you get the target? seems a lot more useful than switching out bags every year! awesome videos

When you say one is slightly longer is that because of the weights used? Because 12" is the largest raid they make correct?

Something to watch before I go to work. Hell yeah

I’m run through them both. Bare bow vs. Bare bow - same rest I lean toward the 31.5. The 28 is a stout rig no doubt though.

Could be the 28 is tuned a little bit better?

Do more of this series I love this video

I want to see Chris Bee vs Bowmar vs John Dudley

would you suggest Hoyt rx3 or Mathews VXR 28

That 28 looks like the perfect bow

Love these types of videos!! Keep it up!

That ambush green is 🔥🔥🔥

Love your videos. Great shooting. Where can I get the big back stop?thanks for your time

Maybe next time shoot without any stabilizer, great video anyway.

You should do trx 36 vs 38 vs 40

DO A VIDEO ON THE MODS FOR THE BOW, 80% vs 85%...And so on, would LOVE to see that

Hi Chris, excellent the shot, how long are the shot? For Argentina.

both are 2020 right? hope so because im looking for one of those

Awesome shooting Chris! Really want one of those!

What's your draw length? If it's lower, the 28 would obviously give you a better string angle.

Interesting ! I’m looking at at a traverse over a 30.5 vxr as I’m drawing 30.5”and I’m 6’2” now I’m confused 🤷‍♂️

The problem on the 31.5 is the Ultraview scope, the 28 has the stock Axcel scope!! JK JK. Ive got the 31.5, love love love it!!! i basically have the same setup as your 28, just without the backbar.

This vid was so good I loved it. When will the grips come out, I’m dying for them

Even though the 28 shot much better score wise... Which feels better to you and what draw length are you?

nice video, could it be that u shoot the 28 better bc you are a small guy? I wonder if this would be the same with an average size man ? anyway good stuff

You should take on a total archery. Challenge

We need the 31.5 with the corret stabilizer versus the mathews TRX ya did it once with hoyt... now with them mathews

Hi Chris. Love your videos! What kind of targets are you using there? Thanks!

What’s the name of the big black target that the paper ones are attached to?

What kind of targets are those big black circles ?

Love the music, this video made me buy a vxr 28

Chris, what arrows were you using in this challenge pleas4?

Chris: I already know the 31.5 is going to pound. Also Chris: so the Matthews VXR 28 won this challenge, let me explain why it confuses me and why it doesn’t.

What drop rests and sights are you using in these bows and how much magnification??

Im a 26.5 dpi owner the triax and sold it I hunt whitetail out if a tree stand and maybe shoot out to35yards Which do you recommend?

You use Easton Axis. Does it really heavy for WA 50M rounds?

Hey Chris where did you get those big “hay bail” targets?

Woohoo glad I got the 28 it's all good 31.5 guys. I only have a 25.5 inch draw so I really need the accuracy.

i think we need to redo this challenge, with equal stabilizers... 5 ends with the 28, then switch the stabilizers to the 31.5 and shoot 5 ends

Which would you recommend for a 27.5 draw length?

Chris do you shoot with a offset or helical on your arrows?

what stabs and sight looks like uv3 scope

I wached almost all your videos. Be more of yourself, be real, like in the begining videos.(just wach them) Nice work👍

How about side plates? Have you thought about making some?

So,, quick stabilizer question Thinking Bee stinger max hunter 10/8 for my TRIAX other info would be 60lb draw weight at 27” draw any thoughts Thanks

Are Bow grip slings a thing of the past? I almost never used them.

Love my 28.. cant wait to buy a grip

Can you show us your hunting set up for this year? That would be awesome since I’m getting a new hunting bow👍.

Dude I swear I would love to have either one but that's never gonna happen because I cant afford a good bow
