NEW!! 2025 MATHEWS LIFT X 29.5 (WHAT THEY WONT TELL YOU)

In this video, we dive deep into the Mathews Lift X 29.5, the latest addition to Mathews' line of high-performance hunting bows.

We'll break down its key specs, including draw length range, axle-to-axle measurement, speed, and weight, so you know exactly how it stacks up to the competition. Plus, we’ll talk about the new technologies Mathews has integrated into the Lift X, such as the innovative cam system, vibration-dampening features, and improved accuracy.

The most astounding bow I have shot is the Mathews TRX 40. This was around 4ish years ago. The guy set it up in about 15 minutes. I center punched a target at 30 yards and had 1 robin hood. It felt alien. It was like the bow read my mind and just put the arrow where I wanted it. It felt incredibly clean to shoot. The draw was decent (Bowtech and hoyt have smoother/easier draws). The stability was exceptional. I can't compare that, as it is the only 40" axle bow I have shot. I ended up going home with that bow, my wallet quietly sobbing in my pocket. The funniest part? I got a high end single-pin slider as a sight. Great sight. The funny part? I never sighted it in. I have put a few thousand arrows through the thing, and I NEVER EVEN FELT THE NEED to use the sight. It remains unused, without even the marking tape on it.

My 2016 Bear Escape (32" ATA) at 70lbs/30in. throws 450gr arrows at a chronograph proven 300fps. We have now been at this level of performance for a decade folks. These marketing teams will struggle to make us buy new bows that do exactly what our old bows do.

A video on a complete string and cable change would be great. It seems that the new tuning system might impact how the axle needs to be removed.

I appreciate you encouraging us to shop local but when my local bow shop tells me to just move my sight when my broadheads are over 3" different from my field points they lost my business full stop.

Tried out the lift x 29.5 today at my bow shop, shot maybe 25 arrows. Also tried out the Hoyt ax2 shot maybe 25 arrows. Also tested the elite carbon eon. Mathew’s all day long. Had to leave that shop with the lift x.

That Garmin chrono seems to be WILDLY off, just like mine was. I thought I was the only one who had to go back to the "old" reliable chronograph because the Garmin was giving me crazy readings.

[jbroutson]

He’s gotta be doing this to troll us lol 😂

[Noc]

question... With all these new bows coming with some kind of tunning feature. Is there ever a reason to move your rest left or right? or should it just stay in center shot and use the limbs/cams to tune?

[CharlesLambert-hs]

I have a 20 year old bow I have inspected and the string changed every few years. I set my stands up and give myself ethical shots for my equipment and skill level, 40 yards and in. It kills Deer just as Dead as that $2000plus rig, and throws a 450gr arrow 278 FPS. People shoot with me all the time and ask me to shoot there new ones and I just say No because what I have works and I know theirs is smoother with less vibration but you can’t miss what you have never had. lol

When weighting the bow, you have to consider the tag weight as well and when shooting for the sound, you need to do that in a sound proof room.

We discovered something new at the shop today… grab the top of the cam and move it back and forth with a little bit of pressure. Every new Mathews had a click when you did that.

[jimlacek]

So I don't want to sound negative here because I respect the way you seem fair in your reviews and you are definitely knowledgeable. But I'd like to see a category on draw cycle.
Why? because I am a hunter and not a 3D shooter or target shooter. Not knocking any of that, but draw cycle in a pure hunting situation I feel is important. It can make or break the hunt. Getting busted on the draw or not.
Again just a suggestion.

Thanks for doing what you do as I feel you educate and give a true honest opinion.

Thanks

MFJJ let us know if we can get those LiftX Limbs on the 29.5 added to our 2024 Lift 29.5 bows! 😬

[blackstream]

Their other bows are faster than the one I tested -MFJJ

[ericnewman]

damn you get a big variance across that chrono

[kaseykyser]

Could you imagine how critical he would be if PSE was that far off on speed .

[JohnWawrysh]

I’d love to see a video comparing the Atlas to the XD! And you can do all the other boring bows that don’t matter to a long draw archer😂 Oh! Oh! And what’s up with the 80 pound draw weight on the bow builder app on the Mathews website?! Oh, and how does the Mathews slider site compare to the Boonie or any other popular site on the market?! This is so freekin’ cool exciting!

[koadog]

does this have the option for the lighter limb for women and lighter draw broken men like me? or is that just the RS

[bertcard]

Would have like to see a difference in Axle to axle or added coming like a 31 to 32 axle to axle bow in this line up another swing and a miss by Mathews. Mathews needs to up date the VXR 31.5 best bow they ever build for the all around hunter . Thanks for the review’s MFJJ appreciate your time

[joezhou]

I'm curious how do you compare LIftX 29 and 33? I'm considering getting the lift X or Lift this year, which one is more worth it?
