I just got a 31.5 after shooting a hoyt RX4 Ultra all year. I did not expect it, but the vxr is a tac driver. I am super impressed and I'm now selling my rx4
As a CAD draftsperson my dream job would be to work for a bow manufacturer. This is the first tour vid I’ve seen of a bow factory, thanks for the tour and keep up the awesome content.
Hey great tour, thanks for sharing. I've always been a Hoyt guy. I'm shooting the RX-4 currently. But I'm not opposed to making a switch. I know several people that have switched to Matthews and are happy with the VXR!
I don't know if they did it on purpose, but my Lift 29.5 and 33 were both off on timing just enough for a peep sight and drop away to correct. If that was intentional it's pretty cool.
Awesome stuff right there! Mathews has it going on. Man who’s the hater that gave it a thumbs down! Great job guys thanks for giving the inside look on something most of us will never see.
Pretty good vid tour. Thanks for posting. I have an APA bow. They have some very functional innovations built into their bows that I'm surprised the other bow companies (like Mathews) haven't incorporated some version of these innovations into their bows. For example, the limb hanger "fangs" that are built into the risers are very handy if you're a tree stand hunter.
@Fanatic Outdoor I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually less than that in raw materials. But consider the facility they are made in the equipment it takes the man hours the engineering the maintenance the liability insurance the patent fees the advertising and all the logistics. I’m sure I’m missing a few things. And Mathews and the pro shop needs to make a profit. It’s called capitalism.
I got a vxr, the limbs creek the first time I pull it back. Sent it in 2 times, thought it was fixed the last time. Now it's back again for a 3rd time. At what point do they stop trying to fix something that they obviously can't and send me a new bow that doesn't sound like it may explode the first time I pull it back
They really need to add back some legit 32-34 ATA bows again. 27 is a speciality situation at best, and 31 isn't going to get it done for a lot of guys.
The owner of Firenock told me Matthews used to advertise in their brochure that they wouldn’t make split limb dual cam bows. Anyone know if that is true?
Back in the day they had inflated numbers, and they still do it today. They were staunch solo cam marketeers and had an entire band wagon saying f solo cam was the best thing in the world. PSE was demonized for their designs that they now copy.
Marlinspike Mate the owner of Firenock kept telling me my VXR isn’t a Mathews bow haha He was joking around but was pointing out they used say split limbs and dual cams were not the way to go
This is where my baby was born in 2020! She came out 31" and 4 and a 1/2 pounds. But the weird thing is I am Caucasian and my wife is puerto rican But the baby came out with Under Armor All season cammo.
After owning and shooting all the brands, I come back to Mathews. For me they feel great 👍🏽 my only grip is the finish. Compared to the other companies- PSE, Hoyt, Bowtech, and Prime...Mathews camo finishes are the worst. My Traverse in UA Ridge Reaper has a finish that is plain horrible. The camo is thin and stretched out in the bridge cut outs. Mathews needs to upgrade their finish process.
You need to forward that video to the Floyd’s ranch head guys! Big ranchers always trying to screw the little guys!! “These guys pay a lot of money🤓!” Yea, we’ll so do we😎!!!
Im new to bows and bought my first one, and it was a Bowtech Icon DLX. I went in origionally to buy the new Mathews VXR 28. I was warned buy other bow owner's not to buy Matthews due to thier warranty not being good or standing by it. Their company isnt what it used to be is what i was told.
They were the first to start parallel limb bows and harmonic dampeners after that they got big headed and they are damn near last to bring out the next big thing in the bow world definitely not the best bow in the world they been caught lol
Eff China. I'll pay double for a domestic product and not flinch. You also need to remember what most Americans are getting paid versus what a Chinese sweatshop worker is getting paid.
Then you didn't watch the whole video,, there were both human workers and robots. Not to mention how many thousands of hours of engineering are put into these products. But if you want to buy a 500 dollar Chinese bow, no one will stop you. If it ever breaks, chances are you won't be able to get a repair part either. Mathews still provides parts for EVERY bow they've ever manufactured. Not too many companies can do that. I do my best to shop local, buy domestic if at all possible, and always support small business.
@@account-ability_2583 seeing that video if I owned ther product I'd be stoked to show everyone where my bow was made it's like formula 1 or MotoGP of archery
