@@AussieArcher1234 I understand that. But don’t make it out like he’s gonna purchase another bow. It was about the experience and getting setup at a local shop. But to title it Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, which one did he buy? Is kinda false advertising.
I just want to say that I was in a big atv accident this year where I had to be life flighted. My bow was destroyed in the accident and a guy I've known for about 5 years now, that used to work at a archery shop near by and now works at scheels archery department, heard about it from my dad. He decided to go up to some of the top people at this scheels and tell them about my accident and how he wanted to help me out with a new bow. They said yes and scheels gave me a 2021 bow tech amplify which retails around $600-$750 and shoots way faster and has a way smoother draw cycle and more let off than my old bow which was a bear cruzer x that I had about $360 invested into it. I am so thankful for the help from scheels. The other thing that was destroyed in my accident was my Montana black gold ascent dovetail 5 pin sliding bow sight. And I called black gold and told them what happened and they said send it in and they would replace everything on it. The dang thing has a lifetime warranty and I always thought It was only for manufacturing defects but no black gold is here to take care of you guys so if you need a sight get a black gold and if you need a bow get a bowtech. And if you don't have an archery shop that you like to support hit up scheels all these people have been amazing and I'm truly blessed and grateful to be alive and to have all these things taken care of for me
Great consumer advice right there for literally anything you buy: if they are willing to help you as a customer when it's a difficult thing to solve, then they are worth your lifelong support.
The companies are making it so. Mathews and Hoyt mostly. They’re pro shop only approach keeps these rashers shops open. It’s awesome. For some buyers I’m sure it drives them to other brands. But it’s ultimately a good thing.
13 years ago my mom and dad bought me a bear game over, I put in for bull every year since getting it, not once was I drawn. got rifle cow draw instead of archery. This year February 16th, on my dads last day alive not knowing at the time, I told him tomorrow is the draw results, I am getting your Bull you always wanted. At 800 am I checked my bank account bam got drawn for his Bull. 1000 am he passed away. I went out two days ago and purchased my Hoyt Ventum 33 27" draw length 70 pound pull. They guy at the shop was like you haven't even asked prices, I replied this is my pops hunt I don't care what it is just get me what I need. Friday I'm going deer, and September I will be on the only hunt he ever wanted but was never once drawn in his life for. I cannot wait to knock that bull down and get him his life long dream. Him not being there to see it is one of the most hardest things I am going through. This will be the first year he isn't with me and I want to make him smile from above.
I got a bowtech solution and I can’t say enough about it. I’ve shot Parker, pse, diamond, and Hoyt all side by side, and the Bowtech was the smoothest and best feeling in the hand. But to each their own! You choose what you like. So there really isn’t the best bow. It’s what you like.
I got into recurve at 20. Found it relaxing and helped me clear my mind. Was in the local archery shop nearly every rainy day when we couldnt work. Had a really top notch compound bow and sold it after having children figuring i didnt have time to drive to go shoot. Now owning a home in the woods with room to hunt and practice anywhere I've come back to archery. I didn't realize how much it ment to me until that first arrow flew again. Building a life gets in the way sometimes of the little thing's that make us happy. Archery is one of those things that brings me peace.
Chris! On your tour, if you pass by Pennsylvania, you HAVE to stop by the Archery Addictions shop in Lehighton, PA. It is an incredible shop run by 2 guys. They are fair, honest, and my go to shop for any needs.
Yup, I agree I had a Diamond as a my first bow then just bought a Solution SD. It’s probably my favorite piece of hunting equipment. I shot both the Mathews v3 27 and the Solution SD. I just felt more comfortable with the Bowtech.
Shot nothing but Bowtech for years....gave upo on them after the 2ND one exploded in my hand. Them taking almost a full calendar year to get new limbs and cams to me didnt help either lol
In Australia we aren't as fortunate to have pro bow shops on every corner. When I first started I went to a pro shop with 3 k in cash of slave laboured money from bricklaying in my pocket dead keen on a brand new hoyt. Long story short i got no help and was treated like a tyre kicker. I walked out with all my money and moved a hour down the road to a small Mathew's dealership. To this day I love the service and quality Mathew's provide. I love my hunting and atm currently using a second hand Mathew's creed xs which I love and always dream of the day I can set up a new bow of yoall calabre. Been watching how you set up your bows for years and have not seen a better and more simplified way. Can't find anyone in Australia that takes the time and care that you guys over there do. Would love to do a trip one day and get the ultimate set up. Love your videos very inspiring keep it reel bee
I've owned and shot a Hoyt ,both in hunting and club competition, Excellent Bow. I have also hunted with the Oneida eagle and screaming eagle , very Smooth ,no pullies but actually too many moving parts, although I personally NEVER had an issue.. The last bow I hunted with was the Mathews Solo CAM , Super performance. I'm pretty certain just about any of the TOP Bows would be excellent.
Glad to see someone actually trying brands and going off of feel. In my OPINION I hate the Mathews draw cycle. I shoot a pse evo ntn. Smooth and dead in the hand. Not shot the evoke 35 but it did look like it was jumpy.
Hoping to see yall hit Chag's Archery in Metarie, LA. Guy named Sammy Romano works there, is the most knowledgeable, helpful person I've ever met and has setup a few of my Mathew's and I'll only go to him no matter the drive.
And that affects you how? Stop having the “must be nice” attitude and work toward your goals and maybe one day you’ll be there to, instead of complaining about others success.
After being f*ckn schooled by Cam Hanes' book about "must be nicers", I reflected back on my comment. Just to be clear, I never doubted that these guys deserved to do everything they're doing in this video. I thought I was just stating an objective fact and maybe felt a little envious after spending so much time trying to build the best possible bow on a very tight budget. But I now feel like that type of comment doesn't acknowledge the amount of work and dedication that it takes to reach the level these guys are at. So yeah, I take it back. Thanks Rylan for standing guard!
I have always been a Hoyt guy. I still love my Hoyt bows, however I was blown away by the Mathews V3 31. My son and a friend of mine and his son all bought Mathews V3 31. I helped set them up and I got to shoot my son's bow quite a bit. I fell in love with it and ordered one.
I agree with on being a Hoyt guy Also I getting my carbon RX4 turbo at the beginning of next year although I will have to try out the matthews line I like the vxr an the triaxe it will be a hard decision to make
UV posted on insta 2 pictures of my bow from TAC Tennessee with my UV3 mounted on a Fast Eddie XL…it fits great and installed easy. Try a PRIME they are Michigan boys!
Hey man bought my first bow a couple weeks ago. Bought a cheaper one and wanting to upgrade after Christmas and give the one I have now to my wife so she can shoot with me. Where do you recommend going in Nebraska or surrounding states I can try different bows out and get some professional assistance. Thanks for all the videos and keep it up. I have learned a lot from you in a short amount of time. Keep it up so people like me can keep learning! 🔥
I would love to see you review an APA king cobra or black mamba! I think your 400 yard challenge would become a success with a king cobra DG and it’s Guinness time!
Sweet bow Still shooting my Mathews Outback. Love that bow and have taken many moose and caribou with it. One day maybe I'll get to own a newer Mathews.
YESSSSS!!! Chris, i need your help, what is the target you have at the end of your garden? the black circle with a red square in the middle? i want one haha
bkg2213. I recently began shooting a Ritual 33 after shooting Pse Bows for like 10 years. The Evolve 35 was/is a great bow but the Ritual is so positively different for me. Seems like everything was designed to fit me lol.
@@timbow50 I heard the Ritual was an excellent bow. Smooth and just a pleasure to shoot. I was looking for one myself but landed on my Remedy. Absolutely love it. Still would like to have a Ritual 35.
What is your detailed opinion on the zebra strings? I have the V3 bow and I’m thinking replacing them because servings are the cams are not to my liking
Glad to see the Gail Martin picture pop up in a heavily Matthews biased video. I get it that you're a Matthews pro staffer and your job it to represent and push the brand but at least he shot other brands and compared before deciding on the Matthews.
Bro so this pisses me off you had hem shoot a old ass pse should have shot the evo or the evl ! These bows will wax the new Matthews ass ! Check out my Chanel I have one it’s blown up twice now and will not at all keep tune my pse and prime bows kick the Matthews bows ass !
Love what you two do.. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Also what's the closest UV dealer to Monroe Michigan? Which is literally 30min from the Ohio border so any in Michigan or Ohio??
Pelkey's is top notch. I bought my first bow there and they let the bow pick me and didn't push me in a direction. Hope you had a good time in Vermont.
As I live more than 8 hours from my local pro shop Mathews would never ever enter my mind as a genuine option to purchase. Module specific bow are just out of reach for me and are not a practical option.
When I seen them put the grip on the Mathews bow I already knew they picked Mathews. Dude with 31” draw is really limited. If it was an average guy I feel he would have been able to shoot a few more bows.
@@javoncarter1281 I’ve got the amplify, first bow I bought. I really enjoy it, it maxes out at 30” DL though. Not sure what all bowtech bows go to 31”.
Well he won two trucks with them why not...I don't think It was the bow , Its the man shooting it. I love your videos i learn from yours, and your very humble and I respect that.....
@@chandlereberhard5183 I thought he was fine not really that bad everyone that shoots a bow thinks we has the best and talks smack about other bow companys.. Comes down to the shooter really and practice and he puts hours In day after day I bet.
I remember trying out a a PSE Nova out at Pelkey’s when Novas came out. Great place as always, cool to see you all visiting places out East. St. Albans is a great place to get a maple creemee by the way.
Wow just call the video getting my Mathews bow. He didn't even shoot it and switched out the grip. So basically you already know he was getting that bow. I shot PSE, Mathews, Hoyt, and Bowtech. Ultimately went with Hoyt rx7 ultra. It would have been nice to see a real opinion after he shot all the bows.
Couldn't agree with this process more. Shot a Bear bow for a year and it was finally time to move to a flagship bow. I shot my friends Lifts/Phase 4s/TRX in all lengths. I went to the shop set on a Mathews. Shop owner recommended I try a Hoyt. Just felt right, fit me great, and I shoot it well. Left with the Hoyt.
Wants to buy a hunting bow do your home work. PSE carbon bow mark 1. I carry one all all day and never get tired don't have to hang mine on my back.3.2 to 3.5 pounds hard to beat hiking miles in,80 % to 90%let off one of the best back walls.I thought the video was kind of unfair to other brands , I hear the Elite has one of the best bows this year the Kure was super stable very accurate last year. Chris to much smack about other companys you never know when you might leave like John D always leave the door open.Heavy bows are more stable but are a pain to haul miles.But then your a whitetail hunter walk to your tree stand so a heavy bow Is ok. But western hunting Is a lot more work a heavy bow can break you...
I dont think you go hunt with the bare bow ... Full setup - 3.5 pounds ??? no way ! But ok - its lighter than the Aloy stuff. Anybody should shoot what he want. I had an Carbon Deviant Turbo . Draw was an absolute Nightmare !. Hydrodip is not the best !(Vector from 2012 same ). But what realy fu..ed me up on the Hoyt - the Vector what i had for 10Years has problems with the Braket for the Quiver . On the Carbon Deviant i had the same to. This Stuff is faar away from - good fitting !!!😂 So for me - never again a Hoyt..For this Money ....nope thx...
@@ochi5.56 pse bow Is 3.2 pounds my other carbon bow pse Is 3.4 add a vapor trail rest at 2.9 oz and a black gold ascent site at 9.2 oz now you can get black gold lite at8.0oz just came out last year , I have best lightest quiver for a bow made six arrow. but not mounted on the bow when hunting. I have a day pack that the straps hold the quiver In place on my right shoulder Its amazing easy to pull arrows out . 4.4 pound total bow weight hell If I got the black gold lite sight from 2020 for a bow or less depends what carbon bow i use....2016 or 2020 model pse.......this bow has no trouble out to 80 yards I use Victory vap 400 they cut thru the air like a knife one of the best arrows made ever........
@@ochi5.56 Most compounds shoot 80 to 100 yds now np. Just practice a lot at long range 80 to 100s and thirty yards are chip shots, I love Victory vap elite 400 arrows its there the best a little expensive 167.00 a dozen ....Some times ebay has a super great deal at 155.00 per dozen witch Is hard to find. Got a ton of them...
I used to shoot a Hoyt I put my bow down for about 7 years I moved to Iowa and said i was going to pick up hunting again walked into a shop started shooting some bows tried Mathews Bow tech couple others walked in figuring I'd buy a Hoyt But walked out with Mathews phase 4 absolutely ridiculous bow
Ole fake to many vibrations claim. Only way to really feel "vibes" is with fingers wrapped around front grip. Which is poor shooting hand grip. Now slap some sensors an accelerometers on it then see what shakes
Haha, it was a forgone conclusion that he was going to get the Mathews. Which shop in its right mind would let you peel off the grip and put a custom one on there, unless it was already bought and paid-for?? Me? I'm a Bowtech man.
He’s gonna always point you to a Mathews product since he is basically a Mathews employee (brand spokesman). This video was evidence of that. The Bowtech and PSE bows weren’t even flagship bows, and 2 and 3 years old. Best advice is to go shoot as many as you can and find the one that fits you. Don’t limit yourself to any brand.
I am not saying I am a expert but I like a bigger peep when hunting then when shooting target because hunting you might have that animal walk in 10 minuets after legal sunset
Its awesome to see content with Kolby. So great to put a face and personality to a name, with someone i have bought products from and emailed back and forth with, providing great customer service. Love this type of content cuz i am an archery geek and love learning as much as i can! Been bow hunting for 8 years and just love everything about archery and shooting!
He already shoots though so he knows what all this stuff means for a streamline conversation. You guys can come with me when I go buy my first bow, it will be a 5hr video 😆
The comparison of the different bows was terrible. To truly compare them you should of had them at the same draw length and poundage. Those being both off can make a bow feel terrible. And then you add on an aftermarket grip to make the Mathews bow better.
I just bought a bow recently nyself.....it picked me.....I shot a elite...a mathews....a expedition.....and a bear divergent eko.....I left with the divergent......thanks 4 content
Hey Chris! I’m 14 years old and I currently have a diamond infinite edge pro but have been told that I have already outperformed it. I was just wondering if you have any recommendations for a new bow as I would like to hopefully get one before the season starts. Much love🤘✌️. p.s. I’m pulling 60# and am at 28in draw idk if that helps
Go to a shop and shoot as many as you can. Chris, being a Mathews pro shooter will direct you to their bows. The problem is that what works for one may not work for another.
I got a new bowtech revolt Wt a hamskea rest. And I shoot Easton axis arrows. I knew he would get a mathews..I have the spot Hogg fast Eddie xl double pin great sight
eBay, all set and done. After new strings and setup to fit me. $350. So many good bows out there for practically nothing. Even came with a hard case. Don’t need something new and shinny for 1000’s of dollars. Especially will times these days. Works great!!
Well, I’d like to say, nice program. Chris you’re a true champion of the sport. Keep doing what you love. Chris, I have a question & hopefully you can help me out. I started shooting at age 9. Had a bow built for me by two great archers of my time. They coached me at a young age. I shot in target competition only once & only shot for 10 years and got out of it. I received a write up in the newspaper for the only target competition I was able to shoot that particular year. I could put an arrow into another arrow at will on every shot at 20 yards. No joke. I would have shot a perfect 300, but my adoptive dad couldn’t stand the fact I was a better shot them him startled me on one shot. Making me jump as a I released the arrow & it was done intentionally and with malice. But, my question to you is? We don’t have many options where I live. I am 👀 looking for a great hunting bow. I’ve been out of the game for 25 years. Name two for me. In my day, Terry Ragsdale was the man. Chris, you’re almost there man. Nice show, man.
That's funny. That catalogue came out eight years after I bought my last bow and my cousin was an olympic archer in the late seventies and was sponsored by Hoyt. He was going to compete in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow but the US boycotted them. Oh well.
1/8th or 5/32" is optimum for the human eye. Larger peep hole will not let more light into the eye. It's the way it's built. And we all knew it was gonna be a Mathews. GO FIGURE. THIS guy can shoot anything anyway so it doesn't matter. Helps Chris out though.
He can’t but if he could he would still say Mathews is better, and from my personal experience I shot all the bows for this year and the 2 best feeling to me were the prime nexus 4 and the Mathews v3 31, I went with the v3 31. All bow companies make great bows it all comes down to personal feel
@@robertminckler804 the Nexus 4 is such a great shooting bow. I shot it side by side with the V3 31 and liked the 4 a bit better. But yes most every company has outstanding bows this year. Even Hoyt completely changed what they were doing. It'll be interesting to see what the next 2 years bring as this year seemed like a "refinement" year for platforms.
Wow no pressure to go with the Mathews at all 😆😆 Clearly liked the Bowtech better judging by his reaction. This channel is getting way too biased. Shame really.
More I watch these videos more I want to start shooting a bow again. Before I switched to a crossbow I was shooting a to short draw by a couple inches. Now knowing I need like a 32" draw, it's making it more difficult. I ground blind hunt and not sure how well that would work with these long bows for that draw. And not many option but they are all super expensive. Plus bum shoulder, not sure how much better it will feel if i at least get something with correct draw length.
He was gonna choose a Mathews before he stepped foot in that shop.
I thought the same thing
Sponsorship , what else would he get, it .. It was about the shop, The service, the People who own it, not the bows..
@@AussieArcher1234 I know, but I just thought it would be cool to see something different
@@AussieArcher1234 I understand that. But don’t make it out like he’s gonna purchase another bow. It was about the experience and getting setup at a local shop. But to title it Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, which one did he buy? Is kinda false advertising.
@@austintate8472 He didnt buy any of them. .

You need to visit The Spot Archery in Fresno, CA
Prime needs to be on the list
Glad to see the Gail Martin picture pop up in a heavily Matthews biased video. I get it that you're a Matthews pro staffer and your job it to represent and push the brand but at least he shot other brands and compared before deciding on the Matthews.
Bro so this pisses me off you had hem shoot a old ass pse should have shot the evo or the evl ! These bows will wax the new Matthews ass ! Check out my Chanel I have one it’s blown up twice now and will not at all keep tune my pse and prime bows kick the Matthews bows ass !
The funny thing is I was watching your video of when you neck shot the turkey last fall when you uploaded.
Hoping you guys shot a video at hit or miss here in NM!
Love what you two do.. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Also what's the closest UV dealer to Monroe Michigan? Which is literally 30min from the Ohio border so any in Michigan or Ohio??
Pelkey's is top notch. I bought my first bow there and they let the bow pick me and didn't push me in a direction. Hope you had a good time in Vermont.
I saw a picture of Gail Martin there, but no Martin bows? LOL let's be honest we know what bow he was going to pick. 😁
As I live more than 8 hours from my local pro shop Mathews would never ever enter my mind as a genuine option to purchase. Module specific bow are just out of reach for me and are not a practical option.
When I seen them put the grip on the Mathews bow I already knew they picked Mathews. Dude with 31” draw is really limited. If it was an average guy I feel he would have been able to shoot a few more bows.
Ya and they picked the worst bow tech bow there is
@@javoncarter1281 I’ve got the amplify, first bow I bought. I really enjoy it, it maxes out at 30” DL though. Not sure what all bowtech bows go to 31”.
Bowtech looked and sounded better than the Matthews. Seemed more comfy
I bet that Reckoning he shot is the same bow currently sitting in my garage!
look at Chris talking smack about the other bows
Well he won two trucks with them why not...I don't think It was the bow , Its the man shooting it. I love your videos i learn from yours, and your very humble and I respect that.....
He’s literally paid to say only good things about Mathews lol
@@chandlereberhard5183 I thought he was fine not really that bad everyone that shoots a bow thinks we has the best and talks smack about other bow companys.. Comes down to the shooter really and practice and he puts hours In day after day I bet.
You dont understand SPONCERSHIP do you.
I remember trying out a a PSE Nova out at Pelkey’s when Novas came out. Great place as always, cool to see you all visiting places out East. St. Albans is a great place to get a maple creemee by the way.
Wow just call the video getting my Mathews bow. He didn't even shoot it and switched out the grip. So basically you already know he was getting that bow. I shot PSE, Mathews, Hoyt, and Bowtech. Ultimately went with Hoyt rx7 ultra. It would have been nice to see a real opinion after he shot all the bows.
Couldn't agree with this process more. Shot a Bear bow for a year and it was finally time to move to a flagship bow. I shot my friends Lifts/Phase 4s/TRX in all lengths. I went to the shop set on a Mathews. Shop owner recommended I try a Hoyt. Just felt right, fit me great, and I shoot it well. Left with the Hoyt.
Wants to buy a hunting bow do your home work. PSE carbon bow mark 1. I carry one all all day and never get tired don't have to hang mine on my back.3.2 to 3.5 pounds hard to beat hiking miles in,80 % to 90%let off one of the best back walls.I thought the video was kind of unfair to other brands , I hear the Elite has one of the best bows this year the Kure was super stable very accurate last year. Chris to much smack about other companys you never know when you might leave like John D always leave the door open.Heavy bows are more stable but are a pain to haul miles.But then your a whitetail hunter walk to your tree stand so a heavy bow Is ok. But western hunting Is a lot more work a heavy bow can break you...
I dont think you go hunt with the bare bow ... Full setup - 3.5 pounds ??? no way ! But ok - its lighter than the Aloy stuff. Anybody should shoot what he want. I had an Carbon Deviant Turbo . Draw was an absolute Nightmare !. Hydrodip is not the best !(Vector from 2012 same ). But what realy fu..ed me up on the Hoyt - the Vector what i had for 10Years has problems with the Braket for the Quiver . On the Carbon Deviant i had the same to. This Stuff is faar away from - good fitting !!!😂 So for me - never again a Hoyt..For this Money ....nope thx...
@@ochi5.56 pse bow Is 3.2 pounds my other carbon bow pse Is 3.4 add a vapor trail rest at 2.9 oz and a black gold ascent site at 9.2 oz now you can get black gold lite at8.0oz just came out last year , I have best lightest quiver for a bow made six arrow. but not mounted on the bow when hunting. I have a day pack that the straps hold the quiver In place on my right shoulder Its amazing easy to pull arrows out . 4.4 pound total bow weight hell If I got the black gold lite sight from 2020 for a bow or less depends what carbon bow i use....2016 or 2020 model pse.......this bow has no trouble out to 80 yards I use Victory vap 400 they cut thru the air like a knife one of the best arrows made ever........
@@davislong9476 no stabi for 80y groups ? What poundage do you shoot and tell me more about your arrows ? Head ,insert , weight and so on .
@@ochi5.56 Most compounds shoot 80 to 100 yds now np. Just practice a lot at long range 80 to 100s and thirty yards are chip shots, I love Victory vap elite 400 arrows its there the best a little expensive 167.00 a dozen ....Some times ebay has a super great deal at 155.00 per dozen witch Is hard to find. Got a ton of them...
.....man...really disappointed he ain't coming out to Cali....!🐝😪
Great video Though!
I used to shoot a Hoyt I put my bow down for about 7 years I moved to Iowa and said i was going to pick up hunting again walked into a shop started shooting some bows tried Mathews Bow tech couple others walked in figuring I'd buy a Hoyt But walked out with Mathews phase 4 absolutely ridiculous bow
Ole fake to many vibrations claim. Only way to really feel "vibes" is with fingers wrapped around front grip. Which is poor shooting hand grip. Now slap some sensors an accelerometers on it then see what shakes
Haha, it was a forgone conclusion that he was going to get the Mathews. Which shop in its right mind would let you peel off the grip and put a custom one on there, unless it was already bought and paid-for?? Me? I'm a Bowtech man.
Need to try pse evl or mach 1
Your the one that got me in to bow hunting, thank you
You shot flagship bows from Hoyt and Matthews . Then shoot lower price point bows from other dealers and expect them to feel the same ????
Chris, what is your favorite bow under 700? I'm buying my first bow soon and I've been looking at the nock Embark, but I'm not sure.
He’s gonna always point you to a Mathews product since he is basically a Mathews employee (brand spokesman). This video was evidence of that. The Bowtech and PSE bows weren’t even flagship bows, and 2 and 3 years old.
Best advice is to go shoot as many as you can and find the one that fits you. Don’t limit yourself to any brand.
That or the drive nxt is the best for the money
I love my embark it's an amazing bow
A how to build series would be awesome. Each video could be a step to fully build your own bow.
Dealing with Chris you have no choice but to be a Matthews person.. The sponsors are not gona like him picking a competitor.
I am not saying I am a expert but I like a bigger peep when hunting then when shooting target because hunting you might have that animal walk in 10 minuets after legal sunset
Finally another vid. Love the intro!
Hey God loves yall, turn away from any sin and believe that God is real to go to Heaven. You dont want to burn in hell for eternity..
Its awesome to see content with Kolby. So great to put a face and personality to a name, with someone i have bought products from and emailed back and forth with, providing great customer service. Love this type of content cuz i am an archery geek and love learning as much as i can! Been bow hunting for 8 years and just love everything about archery and shooting!
'93 is "OLD old"... dam. Thats the year I started High School...
I'm calling this video bullcrap. Disappointed in you Chris.
That evoke 35 is from like 3 years ago.
Yep. And the Bowtech was 2 years old. Stacked the deck against those two brands.
Should have picked up the new EVL. Would have changed the test completely.
@@chasedixon6803 should have shot the Prime Nexus 4 but assuming there was a Chris B discount involved for the Mathews lol.
Yeah that Mathews was going to be the bow he picked before the video even started 😂😂
Haven't seen Kolby in ages! Have fun guys!
Awesome video but he definitely shot the wrong PSE Bow .......
Hey! Don’t forget that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you then rose on the 3 day have a blessed day ❤
i'm thinking to buy bear species what do you think is that a good choice?
I’ve been waiting so long for another video.
It’s 🔥🔥
Welcome to uv dealer tour where it's a giant UV and Matthews promotion
Wanted to make it over there and shoot with you guys but silly work got in the way. Lol
He already shoots though so he knows what all this stuff means for a streamline conversation. You guys can come with me when I go buy my first bow, it will be a 5hr video 😆
The comparison of the different bows was terrible. To truly compare them you should of had them at the same draw length and poundage. Those being both off can make a bow feel terrible. And then you add on an aftermarket grip to make the Mathews bow better.
I just bought a bow recently nyself.....it picked me.....I shot a elite...a mathews....a expedition.....and a bear divergent eko.....I left with the divergent......thanks 4 content
Need to stop by curtsingers in Danville ky it’s a great shop
Hey Chris! I’m 14 years old and I currently have a diamond infinite edge pro but have been told that I have already outperformed it. I was just wondering if you have any recommendations for a new bow as I would like to hopefully get one before the season starts. Much love🤘✌️. p.s. I’m pulling 60# and am at 28in draw idk if that helps
Go to a shop and shoot as many as you can. Chris, being a Mathews pro shooter will direct you to their bows. The problem is that what works for one may not work for another.
@@kveritas1 thank you so much for your reply I will try to do as you say I just don’t live near many pro shops. Thank you
@Red unfortunately I do not live in Canada but if I’m ever there I will definitely check it out😂 Thx for the recommendation
@Red comin up on a year😂 I actually got my first buck this past season and fell in love with sport. How about you?
@Red nice! Best of luck if u do hunt this season🤘
I love your videos and effort you give
Why don't you guys come up to Canada and shoot with us for a bit!
i bought a bow there , they were very helpful. . i will go back
I got a new bowtech revolt Wt a hamskea rest. And I shoot Easton axis arrows. I knew he would get a mathews..I have the spot Hogg fast Eddie xl double pin great sight
Thought this was a dead channel…. Jkjk
eBay, all set and done. After new strings and setup to fit me. $350. So many good bows out there for practically nothing. Even came with a hard case. Don’t need something new and shinny for 1000’s of dollars. Especially will times these days. Works great!!
Be curious to see how that tiny peep does in low light hunting situations…
Well, I’d like to say, nice program. Chris you’re a true champion of the sport. Keep doing what you love. Chris, I have a question & hopefully you can help me out. I started shooting at age 9. Had a bow built for me by two great archers of my time. They coached me at a young age. I shot in target competition only once & only shot for 10 years and got out of it. I received a write up in the newspaper for the only target competition I was able to shoot that particular year. I could put an arrow into another arrow at will on every shot at 20 yards. No joke. I would have shot a perfect 300, but my adoptive dad couldn’t stand the fact I was a better shot them him startled me on one shot. Making me jump as a I released the arrow & it was done intentionally and with malice. But, my question to you is? We don’t have many options where I live. I am 👀 looking for a great hunting bow. I’ve been out of the game for 25 years. Name two for me. In my day, Terry Ragsdale was the man. Chris, you’re almost there man. Nice show, man.
That's funny. That catalogue came out eight years after I bought my last bow and my cousin was an olympic archer in the late seventies and was sponsored by Hoyt. He was going to compete in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow but the US boycotted them. Oh well.
1/8th or 5/32" is optimum for the human eye. Larger peep hole will not let more light into the eye. It's the way it's built. And we all knew it was gonna be a Mathews. GO FIGURE. THIS guy can shoot anything anyway so it doesn't matter. Helps Chris out though.
I wanna buy a new sight but i am not sure if i should buy a AXCEL Accutouch or a AXCEL Achieve. I would be very happy if somebody can help me
You should do a review on the new Hoyt bows and compare them to your Mathews
That's not allowed, he shoots for Mathews...
He can’t but if he could he would still say Mathews is better, and from my personal experience I shot all the bows for this year and the 2 best feeling to me were the prime nexus 4 and the Mathews v3 31, I went with the v3 31. All bow companies make great bows it all comes down to personal feel
@@robertminckler804 the Nexus 4 is such a great shooting bow. I shot it side by side with the V3 31 and liked the 4 a bit better. But yes most every company has outstanding bows this year. Even Hoyt completely changed what they were doing. It'll be interesting to see what the next 2 years bring as this year seemed like a "refinement" year for platforms.
@@the_sharp_carpenter I 100% agree this year all company’s took last years bow and made it better and I’m very excited for what is to come.
Wow no pressure to go with the Mathews at all 😆😆 Clearly liked the Bowtech better judging by his reaction. This channel is getting way too biased. Shame really.
More I watch these videos more I want to start shooting a bow again. Before I switched to a crossbow I was shooting a to short draw by a couple inches. Now knowing I need like a 32" draw, it's making it more difficult. I ground blind hunt and not sure how well that would work with these long bows for that draw. And not many option but they are all super expensive. Plus bum shoulder, not sure how much better it will feel if i at least get something with correct draw length.
