2023 Mathews Phase 4 29 Bow Review by Mike's Archery

The all-new 2023 Phase4 is our most efficient hunting system to date. This year we challenged ourselves to innovate at the leading edge of what physics will allow in a hunting bow. By damping vibration directly in the limbs, we are able to drastically reduce downstream wasted energy felt in the hand during and after the shot. Combined with our new Bridge-Lock Stabilizers that offer improved balance points, increased harmonic tunability and a more robust connection to your bow, the Phase4 is the most advanced and adaptable hunting system we've ever designed.

In this video we take a look at the new 2023 Mathews Phase 4 29. We go over all the specs and new built in tech as well as the all the new changes for 2023. We then shoot the bow for performance, speed, noise and feel.

STAY AFIELD SYSTEM (S.A.S.)™
At less than 1/2 ounce, our minimalist flo-orange servicing cable and our specifically modified cams allow backcountry hunters to safely remove or repair their strings and cables in the field without the use of a bow press. This ultra-lightweight and compact system is the ultimate emergency bow kit to keep you in the hunt.

NEW CENTERGUARD CABLE CONTAINMENT
Equalizes the angle of the cables during the draw cycle for optimal cam timing while providing additional vane clearance.

NEW 3D DAMPING
The all-new Nano 740 is calibrated and
tuned to the specific harmonics of the
bow to control post shot vibration and
noise. The new extended position also
provides added balance at full draw.

Mike, love the vids. Keep them coming! When you shot the V3X 29 the db was 93.3 and the Phase 4 is 93.8... Slightly louder. Interesting - with the new stabilizer system and the new damping directly in the limbs -- you would think the P4 would 2 to 4 dbs quitter. I have the V3X 29. My first Mathews bow, ever! Been a Hoyt and Prime guy. But, I have to say, Mathews kicked it out of the park with the V3X and, it appears to be as quit, if not, slightly quitter than the P4 without the cost with the new bridge lock stabilizers --- does not seem to be a big enough jump. But, overall, the Mathews line is fantastic!

Great guys at Mike's archery man and that is part of the whole experience they will help you find what you need or just sell you what you want no pressure at all and will let you shoot whatever you want to find it I guess it's all bout what you want but whatever it is you won't find better ppl than those guys

[alexgrier]

750$ for the bars and mount, and 20$ per additional weight is a bargain. I’d like to see a straight up comparison of their bridgelock stabilizers vs a normal set of stabilizers.

[sterlingfrancis]

So the Phase 4 is supposed to be Mathews quietest and most vibration free bow they have made but on your videos from last year the V3x was 93.3 so it is actually quieter than the phase 4 and it is about $200 more

[keith]

Your review of the V3X 29 the decibel meter was 93.3. This bow is 93.8. How exactly is this bow quieter when your equipment says that's not so?

[asdfkhieee]

Are you guys gonna do a review on the Elite Omnia?

[jsloan]

From the words of my grandfather: “Newer ain’t always better”.

[duramaxguy]

Shot a new mathews last year. I wasn't a fan of the grip how it felt either. Ended up buying Solution SS

[owsowmuskwanaistus]

just looking at it hurts my shoulders they should make a creed 32 but with 2 cams with a z3 riser

[Ladiesmantwooneseven]

Math explains - last year v3x is dead in the hand and super quiet- phase 4 ist 30% quieter - 30% from nothing is nothing- therefore you can’t notice a difference. 😅

[suzgabverdugo]

I just saw the v3x review you did and the phase 4 are identical when it comes to noise level and a bit faster then the phase 4. So I’m not sold on phase4

[jamierogers]

So what was the decibel reading stock like you test all other bows ?

[diamondmat]

bear execute vs phase 4 which is better choice?

[Hushd]

What about us short armed fellas?.. like 24"-ish draws? I shoot a Mission right now for that reason. I would really like to get into one of these higher end bows. Is there some tuning that i can do to increase my length? Example- thumb release over wrist strap, or shortening D-loop?..

[tommywagoner]

Never thought I would see the day when every review of every new bow and every marketing ploy used the word "dead" or "dead in hand" so many times. I'm amazed we even were able to kill animals with a bow 40yrs ago. Especially without the recoil hurting us..🙄

[avidwaterfowler]

My dealer up charged me $50 for the solid color option. Is that correct?

[stephensheldon]

So how is it the V3X you tested was 93.3 but the phase 4 was 93.8 decibels? Isn't the whole idea of the rubber between the limbs to quite it down more then last year?

[johnnewcomb]

Is that set on the 28.5 setting to get 28 7/8 draw length? Or on the 29 inch setting, getting 29.50 draw length? Right at 70 lbs Mike

[tylerhughes]

Could the decibel reader be picking up the sound of the arrow hitting the target as well? I think it would be better if you tested it outside and shot into a bank or something from like 30 yards away.

[paulshumate]

Wow. It's not any quieter than the Bear execute. If I remember correctly it had a decimal reading of 93.9
