We look at the new Hoyt Ventum 30. We discuss how this bow compares to other top line compound bows. We shoot the Ventum at 18 meters to see how it shoots.
Thanks for the review. You review confirms my purchase of both versions, 30 and 33 in wilderness green. Love both and they are priced around $1099 to $1149 for the 30 and typically $150 to $200 more for the 33 in America. Keep up the good reviews.
Steven really enjoy your videos , I live Clovis comifornia lol I’ve been an archer for 52 years , wish your shoo and your self was located here or some what closer , thanks for all you do . 👍
was the power left on? LOL. Great Videos, absolutely love watching honest, real, gritty, reviews. There is something to learn in every one of them, can never say thank you enough. I even love watching you goof, laugh at unexpected performances of greatness (recent review on PSE). It all adds to the honesty, realism, and integrity of your videos.
Exactly what I was thinking and they still cost more than the other brands that have been perfecting all the modern technology for the last10+ years, it's a bit rude if you ask me.
Okey guys . I was really setted for Hoyt but I found your comments . Do what else do you suggest?? I was convinced by silence of the bow and stability - but if you have resonable alternative - please let me know .
Great reviews Steve I love watching them would love for you to do review on the Bear Kuma 30 I love this bow and it’s price point I was the best choice for me and I think it would be for a lot of other bow hunters starting out
I love my Ventum 33, absolutely fantastic to shoot, I am shooting my best scores ever with and it is great in the field. I’m waiting to see what HOYT comes out with on the 8th for my next purchase., then I will decide what I want to buy. I would love 2 more ventums, but like you said…there not in stock and they take for ever to come in, which is why I am looking hard at the elite bows as I know they are in stock. On the 9th of December I will know which way I am going to go. Great review mate.
I shot the ventum and rx5 both sizes in each and loved them I walked out with an rx5 ultra and told myself I would never spend over 1200 on a bow and I spent 1800. 2021 hoyts are amazing!!!!
I shot a ventum 33 several months ago. I've shot a lot of bows, and have 3 Mathews at the moment(2 TRXs, and a traverse), but that Hoyt blew me away. TOTALLY different than hoyts I've shot in the past, and felt better than the V3 31, and prime nexus I was shooting along side it. Hoyt really stepped it up last year, hopefully they keep it up for this year.
Steven, keep in mind there are two different modules for that bow, one covers the shorter end of the range, and one covers the longer end. You can't get the whole range of draw lengths out of one module. Not sure what the numbers are exactly, but you may have the shorter of the two mods on that bow.
But I like the other ones too. Then I have a Hoyt fan boy come in and test this bow today- he says its good - but the PSE is so much lighter and buys a PSE.
Ventrum? Lol. great review. I ordered the ventum30 when it was first released.! Ventum 30, garmin zero a1, and hamskea trinity rest. Rock solid build. Cheers
Hi Steven. I have the 33. The string was damaged when i bought it, not covered by warranty. The single hole for the arrow rest is not great, otherwise a fantastic bow.
We had a damaged PSE string. We built a new string for the customer. Depends on the store and company. I would say PSE would give me a new string if I asked but I wanted the customer fixed so quickest method was to make a string.
I have owned a few Hoyt Bows. They are definitely high priced!!! My fondest memory is ordering a bow through a Hoyt Dealer, the Factory lost my Order and the Factory did care!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back when I was a kid - Hoyt were great. Dad did stock Hoyt and Hoyt did look after us. It was just when Hoyt left Australia - Dad just wanted to concentrate on Martin and Goldtip.
I once waited 6 months for a Hoyt that never was ordered. I was on the shooting staff and ordered my shooter's bow in November from the rep. So did my buddy who was also on staff. He got his bow in December. I am a lefty so I expect to wait longer. But every time the shop would call and ask about my order, they would give the usual updates/excuses. After 6 months and most of the 3D season already gone, I told my dealer to cancel the order. The dealer called the rep and the rep called the factory. The factory checked and said the have no record of the bow being ordered. A week later my bow showed up.
It was horrible weather but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I shoot well. Nationally Im coming Second and forth so far. I fatigued big time. My body was killing me. I swapped to a 50# supra that I use for indoor at 30 and shot great. Happy to finish any shoot. Love the whole event as much as I hate it. Hate the weather and pain - but very happy I did it and love been there with everyone.
The HOYT target models have had rotating modules for a while, the SVX and spiral cams are performance cams, so they need special modules for each DL to get the most out of them. Although they could be replaced without a press anyways. The adjustable letoff on the module is absolutely somewhere the industry has to go, I expect the upcoming HOYT target models will introduce that feature as well. The limbs on the current gen HOYT bows are absolutely awesome, I agree those had to be introduced. The cable guard is really not an issue. It has to move because that's what it naturally wants to do, if you have a static guard, the wheels on the roller are loaded unequally. This causes extra wear. That's why I think the slide guard is better. As for the twin cam system, I'd say it's personal preference. It's IMO the easiest to tune, although people will start yoke tuning like idiots. For the price, it's really not that bad, it depends on where you live. Sure it's more expensive, but the quality IMO has always been slightly better than PSE or Elite etc. Not like that really makes a difference in shooting, but the quality is better. Their warranty furthermore is very good, when the string on my Invicta wasn't installed correctly, it slipped off dry firing the bow, the limbs were replaced no questions asked. Although the warranty on Prime bows is the best, they give a free new string set every year for 4 years.
@@liamboyle9199 yes that wont be a problem i shoot a 40-50 dcx now and idk how but it maxes out at 54 so if i switch i also buy 60LBS limbs and turn them down to 50 with the svx cams.. gonna wait a bit though since my DL is 26 7/8 now and i am still growing in my arms (16 years old haha) so when i get to around 27.5 witch will happen in a year i imagine i can get the right cam size
If you watch Stephen's 1st arrow versus his 2nd arrow his 2nd arrow took longer he lost pressure just a little bit dip Bang drop drop drop drop Write out the bottom
This is a hunting bow at 30"; be interesting to see if this sees Hoyt finally move away from their C.5 hybrid cam system technology on their next target models as they have with this Ventum model. Although no denying the huge success & fan base for their current Invicta flagship target bow.
With today's computers in engineering there is no telling what the bow companies ARE NOT SELLING NOW but holding for the future. Those comments from various industry sources saying technology improvements are incremental because of materials available are blowing out BS. There is no telling what they have designed in their vaults.
Cool vlog I've shot both RX5 and Ventum and they are really nice bows. I'm a Hoyt fan because I shoot one. Just one thing my friend is that you talk too much in this vlog and you just have to get to the point also looks like you struggle with the bow. Anyway great vlog.
I do all my videos like this - sometimes the bow breaks and things go wrong. Otherwise it is a script. But I want it to be aimed at a beginner archer, the good and the bad. I clearly make mistakes and I never know how the review will turn out. Some manufacturers are not happy with them. But if you keep it real then people buying the bow or release will know things can go wrong.
Modules are the best. Rotating Modules are less efficient. Mathews are the most efficient bows on the market. Mathews bows are the fastest bows on the market. Fact Mathews has the best cams and Modules on the market.
Its fine - When I was in Canberra it was a huge store running TV ads - Hoyt said no then. I think customers would like to see all the bows and make a choice. PSE said no for years to me. Elite said no for years. Depends on the people running the account at the manufacturer. The new Bowtech guy I get on really well with as I do with the Elite guy. PSE is like family after so many years.
I dont mean them to be - I dont know how they will go till I start. With this one - I was this is like Elite, Bowtech, PSE better show the difference. But yes my son tells me all the time.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale I personally appreciate the fact that you make these longer videos. You give more information and unbiased opinions. I trust your reviews more than any of the other youtubers. Keep up doing what you do brother! I hear people complaining about videos that are too long, yet they always seem to have time to watch and criticize lol.
That bow was ordered months ago about 6 months. I just got it out the box. But yes - reviews take time. To shoot and edit and post. So it limits how many you can do. When it is side line. Most of it I do for me. I learn about the product - see how it compares. If I like a product I will often switch to it after the review. Covoid and the shop move has seen us be super busy. Most stores in Australia have been closed for Covoid so we have been super busy. But what I learned from this - Priced really well now very comparable. Doing these reviews helps me when customers ask about a product and how they compare. If I cant recall then can go back and look.
Because houses are going through the roof and you can make so much money without working. But I might get bored. Actually, when dad sold his archery business he became bored and depressed. That scares the heck out of me. Keep busy - shoot arrows, work out - to much to do. I do like the industry and the people - I enjoy seeing people take up the sport and enjoying it.
Hoyt over priced and over rated and 10 years behind the times in technology. Hoyt = not worth it and just ripping off other bow makers for a mediocre at best bow that is over priced. Even John Dudley left Hoyt and went to PSE! Not a Hoyt fanboy!

I'm a PSE fanboy but I apprecite all the different nuances between the big bow manufactureres and yout honesty durning these reviews.
I think it is interesting how similar the bows are becoming. It is surprising the target Hoyt has a changeable grip but not the hunting ones.
Congrats Hoyt, you finally caught up with compound technology from the 90's
Exactly what I was thinking and they still cost more than the other brands that have been perfecting all the modern technology for the last10+ years, it's a bit rude if you ask me.
That comment is so humorous and so true lol.
Okey guys . I was really setted for Hoyt but I found your comments .
Do what else do you suggest??
I was convinced by silence of the bow and stability - but if you have resonable alternative - please let me know .
@@marcelikobak5102 Just trash talk, don't worry. Hoyt makes great bows. Try as many as you can, ultimately the bow chooses you.
So true it’s comedy!!!!
I wish your shop was in the USA. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING BROTHER, GREAT JOB!!! Love y videos 👍👍👍
I love how you don't hesitate to tell the truth when it comes to bows ... love your videos
I hope you review the new elites! I am holding off on the PSE drive NXT to hear more about the new elites!

Why 33 and not 30? I never know with compound bows.
I really think Hoyt was amazing this year, got the fancier version of the Hoyt Ventum 30 with 2021 RX5
I shot the ventum and rx5 both sizes in each and loved them I walked out with an rx5 ultra and told myself I would never spend over 1200 on a bow and I spent 1800. 2021 hoyts are amazing!!!!

the 33 at 29" is the best bow ever
I know it doesn’t matter and it’s subjective. But I’ve never shit a Mathews that I thought felt right.

You can't get the whole range of draw lengths out of one module. Not sure what the numbers are exactly, but you may have the shorter of the two mods on that bow.
How disappointed was I when I found that out.

I had a ventum 33. Very good shooting bow
I’m a archery fan boy I love all brand bows who ever brings out the best bow I’ll check it out
Its cool to check out all the new gear and try it. I certainly don't do this job for the money. But cool gear and great customers.
You ought to have your mum on the channel I’m sure we’d all love to meet her.

Great review. How was the tournament???
It was horrible weather but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I shoot well. Nationally Im coming Second and forth so far. I fatigued big time. My body was killing me. I swapped to a 50# supra that I use for indoor at 30 and shot great. Happy to finish any shoot. Love the whole event as much as I hate it. Hate the weather and pain - but very happy I did it and love been there with everyone.
The Ventum has Bowtechs performace speeds but its smoother than their comfort setting. I shot both side by side and it was no comparison
Best channel to watch.

How do you have time to even do reviews when your getting your shop together? I do appreciate them though
Friday night - Date night. The night before the State and National Championships. Girlfriend knows the priorities- we got to watch a movie after.
In the US, PSE are $1199, Hoyt are $1099-1149, Elite are $999.
You did a hoyt invicta dcx... 2x a prevail svx can you do a invicta with the svx? Wanting to switch from dcx to svx haha
I would recommend switching to the SVX, even if you have to drop a few pounds of draw Weight
@@liamboyle9199 yes that wont be a problem i shoot a 40-50 dcx now and idk how but it maxes out at 54 so if i switch i also buy 60LBS limbs and turn them down to 50 with the svx cams.. gonna wait a bit though since my DL is 26 7/8 now and i am still growing in my arms (16 years old haha) so when i get to around 27.5 witch will happen in a year i imagine i can get the right cam size

They’ve had adjustable mods since 2017 on flagships and since early 2000s on other bows. Mathews still does not offer adjustable mods
I want one.. 👍

I waited for 7 months for my 80 lbs RX5 to arrive, but then I felt it draws very heavy, heavier than its real poundage.
Did you measure it?
@@popcorngenerator1925 yup right at 80lbs but feels like 85
The proper marketing term for "people showing off their wealth" is "conspicuous consumers" . hehe
You definitely need to check your price range and get your facility down with SKU

You really sound like you want to be a Hoyt distributor.
The ventum 33 is faster than the 30
Yes but the 30 Ventum has the least hand shock
The Hoyt torrex XT one is as good as the ventum 30 without breaking a wallet
Cheap riser tho
pse module?? lol
Shame on Hoyt, they should give you a call.

why the hell wouldn't hoyt want you to sell their bows??? makes no sense
How about... i know this may sound outragous. But like these people should atleast think about not dry firing their bow like a complete idiot.
Your vidoes are so long. You should try to make them shorter. Or divide videos in couple of parts. Specs, shooting etc.
