I’ve watched my fair share of TH-cam and I can say that you are one of the few people that actually successfully made your video completely unbiased. I really appreciate the quality comparison.
Thank you so much! I can't thank you enough. Comments like this keep me going with the videos.
No problem man
Best review on TH-cam!!! Honest and unbiased! I can't see myself ever owning anything but a Mathews....but I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Thank you so much!!! That means a ton!
26yrs behind a bow, 8yrs of youtube production. BEST BOW COMPARISON ive seen bud. production value and knowledge had my attention all the way through. liked,subed, and bell rung!
Dustin Apple Thank you so much!!! I really can't thank you enough, I really appreciate that. I will keep at it!
I went to upgrade my carbon Spyder turbo for an rx1 and walked away with a Triax. Very VERY happy with my choice and $600 savings.
Awesome! I'm glad you found the bow for you!
@@SamuelWhiteArchery thanks. Great review
@@warno406 Thank you!
Excellent review for such a young dude. I really was able to learn about the differences of the two bows. This allowed me to learn about my current bow. Not just the numbers but how those numbers affect my performance. Good job
Thank you so much! That's exactly what I'm going for haha
Awesome video, Sam! Very professional, well made, good articulation, and I'd say you found your niche here!
Thank you so much!
Great review. Using the graphs to show the draw cycle was very informative. Thanks Sam!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the Review. TRIAX for me. Been shooting it since January & love it
Jim R Awesome! Thank you so much for the support!
Awesome review man! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much man!
I am a fairly new archer and I just switched to the triax from a diamond edge pro and found this video very informative. Thank you for the information.
Bangin review man👏 Best comparison I've seen of the two. Thanks
That means a lot man! Thank you so much. Another comparison is on it's way.
Wow, really nice comparison video man. Keep it up, hope to see more as the 2019 bows start to come out.
Thank you so much! Haha yeah, I'm definitely excited for the videos to come.
Dude. You have a talent for archery videos. Keep it up. An excellent video. I’ve just subscribed.
Thank you and thank you for subscribing! A new video is on its way so make sure to look out for it haha. Are there any bow comparisons that you would like me to do?
Disabled vet looking to pick up my first bow. Draw length is right about 27 as I am only 5'5". Mostly looking to hog hunt from a blind. Would love to try them out but.... I am left handed and most shops have to order..... so should I consider the Triax? Also... I have arthritis in the hands which I have heard the Triax has little to no vibration. Thanks for the review. Very in depth!
First of all, thank you for your service. I think that the primary job here is to get a bow in your hands to try out. I'm left-handed too, so I am very familiar with this problem. The reason that I think it's so important is that the arthritis might come into play with the steeper grip angle of the Triax. Hopefully not, but it's something that you'd probably want to confirm before making a purchase. I don't think that the vibration is as big of a deal because you can always add as many dampeners, grip tape, etc. to calm that down. So I would say grip first, vibration second. If you don't mind me asking - Where do you live? I think that it's worth a shot to ask Mathews to lend a local shop a demo bow for you to try. If you're just starting out - I want to make sure that you start off with the right stuff.
No need to thank me Samuel... it was my pleasure but still I appreciate your gratitude and you are most welcome. I live in yucca valley ca. and the shop we will be using is Riverside Archery. Thank you for the help and appreciate the great advice.
AL USMC thanks for your service. You’re doing good with a 27” draw, I’m 5’6”, pushing 5’7” and I have a 25”draw lol
@Reel-Lentless Thank you for the offer. Right now we are a little behind due to Christmas. Thank you again for thinking of my family and I.
Great video. How did you generate the draw force curves. That's pro level info-thanks for taking the time to generate the data!
This was done better than “pro” channels. Kudos, great review.
Thank you so much! That means a lot
Good job Sam. Comparing the two (or more) is tough without without putting your own biases into the mix. You did omit the fact that carbon dampens sound by absorbing some of the vibration from the shot. It also doesn't have that icicle feeling in cold temps that we aluminum shooters get. It gets just as cold, but doesn't feel like a frozen piece of metal. I haven't tested the carbon for drop in cold temps. Have you? I know an aluminum riser will shoot low when cold, wonder if the carbon does too.
Thank you for the feedback! I totally forgot about those factors. I'll keep that in mind for the later videos. Thank you
Great review and format man.....really really well done.
Sean Lawrence Thank you so much! That means a lot man
Com'on man. The Triax is the greatest poachers bow ever made!
Hahahah!
Hey sam great videos was wondering if you could compare the Mathews triax vs the new 2019 hoyt helix I feel the price point is more in the same ballpark along with the sizes of the bows.
Never felt the need to comment on TH-cam, but this video was great! I love how you didn’t even speak of the IBO ratings since all bows are so close with hunting weight arrows.
That just made my day, thank you so much!
I am shopping for a bow and have been looking for a light carbon bow. My local archery shop told me to pass on the Hoyt RX-1 and try the new RX -3. Also want to try out the PSE Carbon Air Stealth that comes in at 3.3 pounds. Have looked at a ton of videos and yours are by far the best I have seen. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! If lightweight is a big deciding factor for you, you definitley need to try out the Carbon air stealth. It's incredibly light. I recently measured the weight of the RX-3 and the actual weight of the bow is 4.4 lbs which is way off compared to the advertised 3.9 lbs. So I would definitely compare those. I hope this helps!
Great, honest review. Everything you said about both bows is true. I have a Triax, chose it over the Hoyt for several reasons. I will however agree that the Triax is heavy, but like you said, hunting out here in the Colorado deep timber you are always giving something up to get an edge.I really like the size and silence of my Triax. I used to hunt a 32” and I find the Triax much easier to work into tight spots. I have the 75% let off and initially found it a bit more difficult to hold at full draw for any length of time, however, now that I’m used to it, I think I would have a hard time going back. I have found that having the higher tension at full draw helps to cut down on target panic (it happens to the best of us) and makes me a little less sloppy. You do have to make sure you’re not letting it creep though. One thing that really took me a while to get used to was the mushy back wall, not an issue now. I shot the Hoyt and really liked it, but the Triax just felt right. Deadest bow I have ever shot. Lastly, I’m 6’2” with a 30” draw and haven’t really had any issues at all with the string angle. Thanks again for another great vid
I want to get Mathew Triax for a long term is it good for maybe 10 to 15 years if not which one u recommend to try out I want to keep it for many years
erikabruce Most bows can last that long if taken care of properly. There will be future matinence, like string changes, etc. But the main things is to make sure the Triax is right for you. Have you tried out the Triax?
I believe it's all about personal preference at this level of engineering, I've shot both of these and still picked the bowtech reign 7. Personal preference...
Haha yeah, I totally agree
Such a great video. Hope we see a lot more of these reviews
Thank you for the support! I definitely will be creating more.
Great work I have seen and Watch a lot of review on bows for being in the market for a new one . I’m looking at the prime logic Matthew traix and Bowtech ream , i’m curious how you feel about Bowtech I don’t see any reviews on it thanks for your great information.
Thank you for your support! I think it's all about trying as many bows as humanly possible to find the bow/brand that best fits your body and your style haha. All of the American brands (if tuned correctly) will be able to outshoot you. For example, if you put a bow in a shooting machine it will shoot more accurate than if it was shot by a human. So the question isn't which bow shoots better, it's which bow shoots best for you. I hope this helps! Thank you again for the support, it means a lot!
Really well done comparison. Can you do a Bowtech Realm vs. Hoyt RX-1 or Mathews Triax?
Steve Mathews I'll make sure to put that on my to-do list. Thank you for your support!
I have a Triax and I will never trade it for any Hoyt out there.
William Hahah, what do you personally like about the Triax?
Samuel White pretty much everything hahaha. The size, speed and silent shot combo is killer. The bow fits every damn hunting bag, has no vibration, the draw is smooth, the camo is beautiful, even for me here in Brazil with our different forest pattern, lost camo xd looks fine.
I like hoyt design, specially the carbon ones. Imho the hoyt carbon spyder is the most beautiful bow ever made.
Jut i just like the mathews much more. Hehe
William what are u hunting down there ?
I'd throw the Mathews away for a hoyt
Austin Jones have u ever shot a Mathews bow?
Great review! I never subscribe but you sold me, well done.
Thank you so much man!
I choose Mathews TRIAX
Konstantin Mazila Haha awesome! 🏹
at us in Russia Triax costs 2.000 $ and RX 2900 $
Konstantin Mazila That's expensive. That's awesome that I have a viewer from Russia haha
today I'm going to buy Mathews Triax, I decided again, to listen to what the Americans say about him. and accidentally saw your video, in general you convinced me to buy it Triax
what arrows, now in America, are considered the best for hunting ?
Thanks Samuel Great comparison. It would be really interesting to see the APA King Cobra TF2 in comparison to these bows.
I got a used rx1 turbo. Didn’t like it at first. Then got the peep adjusted about a 1/4 inch up and now it’s great. It’s not that loud imo. And the arrow flies so damn fast idk how much of a difference it would really make irl scenario.
Well done- would have liked to see you shoot them - put them through a chrono all the usual stuff but that said - great work and very professional. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much! And thank you for the feedback!
how do you have money for those bows and equipment
i know its a couple years old but could you do a review on a reign 7 i would like too see how it compares too the new bowtechs i still think its been long forgotten and still a contender with the realms
MATTHEWS all day every day! Hoyt is LOUD!!!
Not that loud, you can normally get them even quieter with dampeners and all the other accessories
You can reduce the sound of a Mathews with other dampeners and accessories too thouuu.. so while you can reduce the sound of a louder bow, you can reduce the sound even more with an already quiet bow. Unless the bow is already totally vibration free of course but we all know there’s always going to be a little no matter what so you’ll always have sound
But out shoots Mathews 10 to 1
Great review. I like how you matched your shirt to your face.
Hahahahahah dued, I know right. I cringe everytime I see it 😂
@@SamuelWhiteArchery Lol regardless thanks for the video. You're a good sport👍
this is a great presentation, great info thanks a lot !!
Thank you so much!
I was thinking of a Hoyt redwix but I went with the Mathews triax best choice ive made in a while
Awesome, I'm glad that you found the bow for you! Thanks for watching!
Bear Creek is my local shop! I just got my RX1 setup there this week. Small world
No way! Well if you ever see me there, make sure to say hi. Thanks for watching
why do you not have more subs... really great content, keep it up
Thank you so much man! Haha I just have to keep up the videos because I don't have many up right now. But there is more content on the way! Thank you again for the support, it means a ton!
yeah man, you got a new subscriber, i hit the bell too
@@fearthespear4242 I can't thank you enough man, that means so much.
Samuel White no problem
I could tell you were a Hoyt shooter before i clicked on the video😉great video!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the video! I'm actually a Hathews shooter haha. I used to shoot Hoyt, but then moved to Mathews. My most recent bow purchase was actually a diamond though 😂 video soon to come haha. Thanks for the support!
I like what you have done here.......
It was very professional........
Keep up the good work......
Thank you! I definitely will! A new video is on its way haha
I shot the triax yesterday and was hitting groups so tight at 70 yards it made a nun look loose
Love my evolve 31. Smooth draw, good speed, tight groups. Not very loud and w a good stabilizer no hand shock
Steven Long If I could get my hands on one of those and review it, what would you recommend comparing it to?
Bowtech reign 6. Shot a ton of bows the nite i bought mine, for me that was the closest choice. Ty for such a fast reply, was not expecting it
That 90% let off has to be shot to be believed
Steven Long Thanks for the suggestion! And no problem, I love to interact with other archers and viewers!
Now that PSE replaced Evolve with Evoke, you could test those. Same cam, new riser, limbs and paint process (fusion)
But is the Hoyt really worth $600 more? I don’t thinks so. But that’s my opinion
Great review. I do wish more reviews would stop pitting the carbon line and use the equivalent aluminum riser bow as the comparison. The Niturm, Faktor, Pro Defiant and now Hyperforce/XXL are still considered flagship bows and fall in a similar price point to the competition. The Carbon line is almost in it's own little bubble with the exception of the PSE Stealth.
I always see people complaining about how you can hit brush and smack limbs with a longer axle to axle, I've used 40+ axle to axle bows while hunting and never had a problem. Don't worry about the axle to axle on your bow, unless you want a better shooting bow, then go for the longer one.
Mad We Thanks for the feedback!
any one that says that a couple of inches extra on there axle to axle affects their ability to make a successful stalk is full of it, or their just hopeless at hunting full stop.
Great video buddy !it helped a lot !
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help
All i'll say is good job Samuel ...... well detailed and informative ..... ^5
Yvan Tomac Thank you so much!
Awesome Review! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped
I just love the design on the rx1. Very original.
Triax for me, best bow I’ve ever shot!
I'm going to get a Triax in like 2 years when they will be $600 completely set up on Craigslist.
My plan also haha
Same
Good review very informative. I’m little partial to anyone but Hoyt, Hoyt charges more for their bows than any-other bow manufacturer, add that the limbs are Korean and the riser is Chinese somebody is putting a lot of extra money I. Their pockets and it’s not the consumer
Good video. Well presented with relevant information.
Thank you so much! That's my goal for all my videos, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You should do a comparison, or a straight review of the Mathews HTR NoCam.
I liked the comparison you did and just wanna see what you think. Definitely a good comparison here.
Well done!!! I have shot them both. Was at my local shop when they came in. Shot the Mathews, with in the first 3 arrows I was taken away WOW!!!!! The rx1 we were all a double hump. Nope, every single one that came in were way out of time. So got them timed, and started again. And was still not crazy enough about it.
Matthew Hutchinson The Triax is a solid bow, they did amazing with the vibration dampening. And thank you so much for the support!!!
Samuel White they hit it out of the park this year. But I stayed with my halon. Love the triax, by 28 ata shooting 29" draw, thumb or back tension it was to short for me. Can't wait to see what 2019 brings.
Matthew Hutchinson Definitely
Hoyt RX1 has so much hand shock, and is loud as hell! Sold it and got a Halon 32 wish my draw length was short enough for the triax.
I didn’t even need to check the comments to know that all the Matthews and Hoyt fans were arguing lol
You know it, hahahah!
Update on the Hoyt vs Mathews argument. MATHEWS WON LOL HAHAHA
So proud of you Sam!
Ema White THANK YOOU SISSSSTAAAAAAAA
Hey man good video again thanks
Thank you so much, man! I really appreciate it.
I got the Triax! 🏹
Haha, awesome!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
Great review!
Thank you so much!
It felt more like a sales pitch than a honest review.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video my man!
Kolby Hanley Thanks Kolby! That means a ton man.
Congrats on 50K views!
Great job, Sam! I really wanted to see you shoot them, though...
Thank you for the feedback! Sadly, I'm left handed and it's tough to get left handed bows to test and review. If I can figure out a way to do it, I definitely will try them out.
Best bows. 1. Elite e35 2. Halon 32. 3. Elite Synergy. 4. Switchback. 5. Hoyt carbon 34 :)
You should have brought up the Hoyt Hyperforce when it comes to cost. Its a clone of the RX except its metal vs carbon and costs $1100
That will definitely be a comparison that is on the way! Thanks for the advice!
Well done Sam!There is some room for improvement in audio.
ObelixCMM In audio quality? And thank you for the feedback!
Yes, you sound bit muffled. Did you record with in camera microphone?
ObelixCMM No, it's an external mic. I'll find a way to make the audio better next time haha.
Maybe you coming down with cold ;)
ObelixCMM Probably 😂😂😂
This is biased. He said at the beginning that he prefers the Hoyt. There is a reason Matthews is the number one seller.
I'm sorry to hear that I came a cross that way. My goal is to be as unbiased as possible so everyone can make the best purchase decision for them. What part did I say that I preferred the Hoyt? I actually shoot a Mathews, so if anything I would think that I'm Mathews biased haha. Thank you for the feedback though, this is what helps me develop my videos to become better.
Well done!
mattonthewater Thank you!!!
I'll take my Logic, though a RX-1 would be nice.
WJK I actually have a video on the Prime Logic compared to the PSE Carbon Air Stealth SE. Are there any bows I should compare with the logic?
Samuel White I'll Check it out. Bowtech Realm, elite ritual, Obsession Fixation. At the end of the day it's just those little things, those little differences that will make one person like it and another not. I simply love the draw cycle and the back wall of the prime, With that said I do believe the Triax Was much smoother. Those were the two bows I was stuck between but the technology packed in the logic to me seemed like a better choice especially if I'm not at my 100% the bow can pick up.
WJK I'll make sure to look into it for a future comparison video. Thank you for the feedback!
Mathew the best
The triax is the most stable bow Mathews made so far
Are you being sarcastic?
I wish I had money for a Triax.
hart Just wait till after xmas. You will pick one up way cheaper. Great bow i love mine.
RICK I'll keep this in mind, this would be such a great xmas give for myself.
Samuel I've said it before and I'll say it again, your vids are top class. Come on you guys subscribe...........how can you get 600 odd likes on one Vid. and only have 1.1K Subscribers. Keep then coming mate.......Coach Gary...ExA.....
I shot both the RX1 and the Triax performance the Triax is superior level nock travel and minimal bow torque RX1 had a good amount of bottom cam lean at full draw check out bow torque test and nock travel on 2018 bows
Just bought a Triax for my son with a 6" Mathews Flatline stabilizer, Axcel 5 pin Rheo Tech sight and Mathews QAD he hasn't shot in 7yrs within 10min adjusting the micro pins he had 3 shafts touching in the X before we payed for everything it's one heck of a bow
You did not mention speed........
Steve Hilligoss I just looked through it and wow I didn't mention speed haha. There was only a 3 fps difference in the IBO with the Hoyt being at 340 and the Mathews was 343 fps IBO. So it wouldn't be something to worry about. I'll make sure to include it next time. Thank you for the feedback!
Triax = good short range bow
RX-1 = noisy, heavy
Wow! I can't believe spending that much money on a bow. The point of archery hunting is to bring home the bacon n I know a lot of people still can do that consistently with traditional archery equipment like a recurve bow or even a self-made stick bow but friends with high price compound bows often brings home horror stories of wounded animals because they don't spend enough time getting acquainted with their equipment
Matthews Triax all the way; just shoot it and you’ll understand. This was a nice detailed review, but the Hoyt bias was very evident throughout. That’s not a criticism, just an observation because it was otherwise a great review.
Thanks for the feedback and support - I certainly appreciate you taking the time! It's crazy to see that people see a Hoyt bias in this video haha. I actually compete with a Mathews so I don't know how I would have a Hoyt bias. My goal is to evaluate bows as objectively as I can. I think that all bows have their strengths and weaknesses - and those differences only matter in the context of how someone desires to use them.
I've seen a lot of archers that have been sold a bow that makes no sense for what they're doing - and I think that archery as a whole suffers for it.
I suppose that one of the problems with this video is that they're such different bows. Maybe I need to make sure that it's a closer matchup next time. Thank you once again for the support and feedback! I hope that made sense haha.
I have 3 carbon Hoyt bows and 1 Matthews. Purchased 2 Hoyt bows first then switched to Matthews then heavily regretted it and quickly returned to HOYT. I always buy top of the line and Matthews just can’t compare to Hoyt
Witch bow has less creep
Hoyt rx1. Never goin to another brand.
Richard Cranium Haha, Hoyt is a great brand! I actually used to shoot a Hoyt bow
Richard Cranium Thats coz your a sucker.
Unbiased.......ha! Bulls###
Haha, I'm sorry I came across that way. For future videos I want to be as unbiased as humanly possible, so what should I change to fix that? Thanks for your feedback
Prime surpasses both Hoyt & Mathews. Just take a look at the torque & nock travel tests from TH-cam member Archer1941 for the facts.
Wow, super cool video! I wonder how they would do if the bows were all tuned up and retested.
@@SamuelWhiteArchery
Torque actually cannot be removed by tuning. So, the results would be the same regardless if the bow is tuned or not. As far as nock travel, technically cannot be removed either, but can be changed by moving your nocking point up or down or by changing cam timing.
Quite biased wouldn’t you say? I would rather have the Triax bud. Your advertising endorsement didn’t work.
Unbiased my fucking ass. I shoot a rx1 but this is far from unbiased.
兄弟我也是左手
You're missing the real point, get a prime...
Both worthless bows
