Great having 2 different prespectives versus just the one guy talking through the bow. Good job!

Great video guys. I just bought a phase 4 and still waiting to get the call to pick it up. I’ve watched a ton of videos and this one is by far the best. Keep it up!

The discussion toward the end regarding the limbs on the Mathews is interesting. The question of the durability of the center material seems valid. People aren't criticizing, however, they are wondering aloud. Though I agree Matt McPherson wouldn't let something go to market without absolute confidence in the duration, the questions seems valid. There are so many good bows on the market I'd feel comfortable spending my money with several bow companies. Company specific accessories...that's beginning to concern me.

Please please do the same video with the shorter axle bows in the brands 🙏

Guy at my bow shop told me I was the first person in a few months to say the Hoyt is smoother than the competitive Matthews. Watching videos like this just makes me think their fanboys lol glad I got my ventum!

Thanks for the in-depth review. I shot the VTM 34 and the RX7 Ultra at my local shop last week. I thought my Defiant shot good until they told me to go get my bow and shoot it then shoot the new one's... wow. I can say that hoyt has never done me wrong and I would most certainly recommend their 23' flagship offerings to anyone. The RX7 Ultra seemed to draw and shoot smoother than VTM but nonetheless both are awesome.

I literally shot The VTM & The Phase 4 back and forth for almost 3 hours yesterday. Shot 5 and 5. Took breaks. 2&2. Took breaks. Shot alternate. Took breaks. The style side of me wanted to like the Hoyt better. Their branding and marketing is nice. But the Mathews was just a better performer IMP. Everyone says the Hoyt has a smoother draw cycle but they are essentially opposites. The Hoyt takes a lot at the beginning of the draw and then smooths out. The Mathews is easier to get moving and has a bit more of a dump into the back wall. To me the biggest difference is how firm Mathews is on the back wall. The Hoyt feels like you’re fighting creep the whole time. Mathews ended up being the call for me.

Great review. Also I loved you as Yukon Cornelius lol

[rogerramjet]

Mathews, 👍👍. Best in my fourty years of archery.

Can y’all do a VTM 34 vs the RX7 Ultra video?

[chandlerrose]

Awesome video! I would love to see you do a sound comparison and maybe a speed comparison on the VTM 34 and RX7 Ultra...trying to decide which one to pull the trigger on. Thanks!

[bradsalo]

Appreciate the fact that you guys are doing decibel readings of the sound of the bow. After watching the video further, I began to wonder if the meter is not only picking up the sound of the bow going off, but the sound of the arrow hitting the target. For a legitimate reading of the bow's noise, would it be a good idea to consider having the target much farther downrange? Just my 2 cents worth.

Sweet video! Great break down of the bows!

My 2013 compound bow (brand is irrelevant) specs are 35" ATA (my preference), 6.25" brace height, 340 fps IBO, 4.5 pounds weight. My point is specs haven't changed much. My bow is smooth to draw, has a solid back wall, stays in tune, and the shot is quiet. Despite the yearly hype, compound bows have not changed that much the past decade or so. My bow has solid limbs. I'd rather have 2 limbs instead of 8. None of these split limb bows are faster, but they sure are wider. Unless I was new archery, I would feel silly buying a new compound bow these days. It's still fun to see what's new, but I am thankful for what I already have.

I got a Phase4 today, I shot it and was immediately in love. I’m also prejudiced and distrust things that aren’t from the Midwest.

[royleerobinson]

I love my v3x 33. The only thing I could want would be limb stops instead of string stops. The back wall is kinda mushy. Maybe I just pull too hard on it tho

[quantumeraser]

Just a minor point - wouldn't a Holding Weight of 14.4 lbs. on a 70.2 lbs. Draw Weight be closer to 80% Letoff ??

[falconovic]

"There's no way that things 70 lbs!" 🤣🤣Thats a hoyt for ya! I have an RX5 Ultra and it's smooth as butter on the draw, 70 lbs as well, and it's just so much easier to pull that other bows I've tried. I've been looking for this type of comparison because i've yet to see one on Mathews and Hoyt! So thanks for making the video!!! :)

[DB.KOOPER]

Mathews just makes the best bows. I shot them all last year and have shot most of the big names for the last 5 years before I pulled the trigger on a V3X 33. While everyone else is chasing speed Mathews is just consistent, ultra steady and dead in hand/quiet. IMO the new Phase 4 is undeniably quieter then my V3X 33 but not so much I would think of selling and swapping all my parts to the new bow. If I was gonna shoot anything besides my Mathews I'd be looking at the new flagship BEAR 33" bow... its honestly the nicest bow I've shot this year thats not made by Mathews.

[mattgipe]

I shoot the rx7 ultra and it is by far the smoothest shooting bow I’ve ever had. I can’t even imagine what that vtm 34 must feel like if you think it’s as smooth as you say. I might be getting a back up bow… 🤔😂
