I would love to try one of these risers. My GMX has been a workhorse and is a great riser, and this seems to be in your words "refined" in comparison. The limb pockets and adjustments look great, and I am loving the bolt indexing. Thanks Jake, great video as always.

I shoot the original GMX to this day, but this made me want a new bow. All the improvements for tuning and fine adjustment look so nice. (I really dislike the shim system in the original GMX)

I’ve just got the stardust purple XD here in the UK, and I’m happy to report, the new XD’s also come with the new design tiller bolts.

That looks awesome, after 2 years doing archery id love to be able to afford some hoyt gear but i expect itll be a few more years before im good enough for that type of gear. Im just getting a handle on using some stabilisers for 50yards. Love the channel though it helped me fix some problems with my arrow spines a very useful resource. 😊😊

How does the GMX 3 stack up to the ATF-DX? And is the GMX 3 more than just an ILF Formula DX? Does it have significant upgrades?

matt yacca had an orange one at outdoor nats. It was gorgeous.

Lovely looking riser! I’m not surprised the finish and quality is so good, I have an Aerotec and an Axis that are about 20 years old and the quality of those is really good too, nice to see standards haven’t slipped. Maybe in 20 years time I’ll have a GMX3 in my collection, hopefully I’ll have completed my collection of Tec risers by then lol. As always Jake, thanks for everything you do for us 😊

There's a lot of buzz around this riser for barebow. So I'd be interested to see how you feel about the LPP when stringwalking too, especially at 18m.

[hannahmitchell]

Thank you for this, I’ve currently got an xceed and going to be trying the GMX tomorrow. It was definitely interesting watching this as i hate setting up new bows, but given how you moved some things straight from the xceed give me a warm feeling it might not be so bad as I know what i like on my xceed.

I’m looking at another gmx3 with the bushings for the main center stabilizer and the rear mounting points below the grip and the lower back of the bow. All the bushings are off

Re: Indexed tiller bolts- Check out a bunch of different Italian risers from the 1990's. Same feature.

[ZephrusPrime]

Isn't Brady now shooting the 27" GMX3?

[garyhiggins]

What worries me about the painted riser is that paint will chip much more easily than an anodised finish! Not to mention the sling rubbing against the corners?

[Silencer.]

what is your top 3 riser you have ever used

[mohammadzulqornain]

Hi jake. Go archery 💪

Please more tips and pratices content about long distance barebow and trad

[tekkesinkdr]

Hi Jack English is not my native language. maybe I missed. what kind of Lims strength/pound do you have? 70m what kind of arrows do you use? nice greetings from Vienna.

[ashokkumar.g]

Hi sir how are you, I learn lot of things from your videos of how to tuning the recurve bow . It's more useful to me about tuning sir . And thank you for sharing your knowledge

[TomasPruzina-uwql]

I have also found these colors (red formula) bit too distracting, so I went with bland looking slate (grey) finish on my formula XD.
Axiom limbs are awesome, just not quite sure 900eur I paid for them awesome (perhaps should have watch your video on how to spend money smarter by buying top of the line sight instead).

[Phelzan]

Hey Jake, the tolerances on the tiller bolt was an interesting point to bring up, but it got me wondering what kind of tolerances you see in the limb fork between different sets/brands of limbs. I'd be curious to see what the differences are between a few brands, and if there is a large difference what you could do about it to make sure you get a tight fit.

[verano]

First comment😊

I guess with this top heavy and shorter lower part of this riser it's not optimal for barebow shooting.
And I still like the anodized one more.
What do you think?
