Whose bow are you most excited for? Any questions or tests you’d like to see done with the bows? It’s going to be a great 2024 friends

Tim, the quality of your videos is going up a lot! Congratulations! You deserve more followers! I can't wait to see hunting videos on your channel too! Greetings from Spain!!!

Would love to see yall review the Xpedition Xlite. At 3.75lbs for the 31 inch ata and 3.85 for the 33 inch ata seems like they may be a sleeper and overlooked. I know they dont send a bow to MFJJ, but may be worth reaching out/ picking one up.

[Basshole]

average height of a male is 5'9" so 27-28" draw. lots of talk about efficiency of a bow when dropping draw length from 30"...would like to see bows reviewed using say a 450 GR (seems to be a popular hunting arrow weight) in that 27-28" draw length.

[Doober]

How much does the drop away add for the Mathews you think? All the rest shot with biscuits

[nickschaps]

I’ve been shooting an Elite since before they were cool. Still shooting a 2017 E32, bought it for the narrow foot print, sweet grip, and crazy solid back wall. It pulls at 67lbs and flings a 495gr arrow at 272fps. I have never “upgraded” because I just don’t see the value, all I gain on the new bows are 10ish fps, and a few ounces in weight. It’s still as accurate as the day I bought it, sub 6” groups at 70yds. I hands down recommend elite bows to anyone in the market, they are VERY shootable and are easy to tune.

There have been a couple people that have checked the speed with the different letoff, and no difference

Good shit as usual brotha 👍

[patmeister]

The Elite Ethos also has .25in draw length adjustments.

[AaronWhitaker]

Nice work mate, I went to the shop last week to shoot the Ethos, ended up buying the elite kairos 😂 might have felt amazing since I’m shooting a 5 year old elite! Will get it out bush for its first hunt next week 🏹
Cheers from Australia

[DavidBridge-ud]

I think really they’re all great bows All of them come out with cool technology every year I’m just a Matthews guy myself

[zachlambert]

Currently shooting a ventum pro 33 and I didn’t love the new draw cycle in the new alpha x wasn’t as smooth. But then I shot the elite ethos and that to me and my style was the bow of the year! Great video as always

[sofasquirrel]

I am most excited for the new Mathews. I want a bowtech but They didn't release a new 33" or 34" unless I missed something.
Keep up the excellent work men!

[optimuscrime]

I did this exact same thing you did in this video, and I left with the Mathews lift 29.5 in 80#s 28.5” draw length.

I’m still shocked I bought a Mathews. I’ve shot Hoyt and then Elite my whole life. I use to be that guy that hated Mathews😂 But what they did this year is a work of art. This bow checks every box as a midwestern whitetail hunter. Don’t take my word for it though.. Go get your hands on one and youll see what I’m talking about!💯

[drewolm]

To be thorough I'm going to shoot the PSE thats 33" axle to axle and 7" brace, forgot the name, and the Elite Ethos. However, that new Lift 33 is a work of art.

[justinjhauser]

Solid video, Tim. Bro, that shirt is top notch lol. 👊🏻

[puggins]

I haven't bow hunted or even really been around archery since the late 80's, wow has bow technology changed!! I had a bear whitetail II & it was a good mid range price bow, if you were uptown you had a hoyt or browning.

[TheWVgoodguy]

As someone who doesn’t currently own a tree stand or saddle to hunt whitetail 🦌and turkeys 🦃 here in the east, part of me is leaning Hoyt or Mathew’s since they have stands to use among other features. The other part of me wants to be able to tune my own bow without an expensive press so the Bowtech Core SS, Elite or the new Athen’s Axxis peak my interest there.
Sadly even if I sell my Prime Black 3 I can’t afford these new models until next year or so.

[o.n.e.wayhunting]

Interesting. The Core SR and Lift 33 I shot at 29"/70lb were 287fps for the Core SR in comfort, and 292 for the Lift 33 with a 440gr arrow.

[heathhenry]

Great video Tim! I really liked your use of music and song choice. Great job brother.

[goldtip]

Tim I know resale value is a big deal and not talked about much. Do a video on resale value. I always factor in resale when I purchase a bow. Some bows are hard to sale and do not hold there value very well. Good video
