I'm stuck between a Hoyt Nitrux and a PSE evo NtN 33 for my first bow I'm buying in 2 weeks. Could you offer me some insight as to why you choose Hoyt and not PSE and which bow you'd recommend I lean towards? I'm in Texas and there's a couple of Archery shops and bigger retail stores like Dick's, Field and Stream and Academy that offer both brands.

I'm from Iowa, living in San Diego, and a big Hoyt man myself. I was at Performance in San Diego when Dudley presented Rogan his bow. It was super cool. I was pretty bummed and shocked when he went PSE. I honestly think that Hoyt, Mathews and PSE are brands you can't go wrong with. I'll always shoot one of the other 2 if ever leaving Hoyt.

I agree with you. One can learn a lot from them.

Dudley is such a professional and wonderful human. He has a positive impact on everything he touches. I love that he said he doesn’t buy into the hysteria of releasing a new bow every year!

I don’t care who John shoots for. I’m just impressed that PSE is letting him have control of his own wants and needs. That’s telling about the man Pete Shepley is and the vision he has for both his company and archery. It’s also more telling about John Dudley. He really truly cares about the future of archery and where it’s heading. He has a following and he’s the #1 reason I got confident in doing my own bow work at home. I thinks it’s really cool he can wear whatever he wants and won’t be “penalized” for mentioning another bow company or working on them in his videos. Sounds like it’s a partnership where he’s in control of his own creative freedoms.

As someone who isn't particularly brand loyal, nor one who triesmirror a hunting celebrity's rig, nor someone who trades up every season, I have to admire Dudley and what he's trying to do for the community. As stated earlier, as someone who advocates a very hands on approach and tries to stay fairly neutral, despite certain...obligations; he's a great resource for DIY knowledge.

LOVE John Dudley ,got alot of information from watching his videos, thank you.love pse have evolve 31.

I remember vividly watching hours and hours of nockon tv, and the live facebook bow builds on the couch. Dudley is part of the sole reason i got into archery. The message conveyed was always one of a unified community rather than brand bashing, which was very appealing to me. Thanks dud for all you do for our community!!!!

always glad to see videos with John Dudley, long time never seen his videos and hope to run into him up north this year if he comes to Alberta again, good luck with your new endeavour.congrats and nock on.

John is such a upstanding guy. Ive spoke with him multiple times and he's always very humble to answer questions.

Thank you MrDudley for the trix, i learn much thing from archery from you;-) Your videos are a very big help for beginer archers.

Very good interview by PJ with a legend! And Mr. Dudley has done so much for archery.

Every product John touches he improves ! Releases , sights, bows , rests , hes made me who I am today in hunting and target archery !

What a great move John!! That's awesome and I'm very happy for you!! Can't wait to see what's in store for the future of NOCK ON NATION!! I'll always back you up 110%!! NOCK ON!! You guys rock!!

My wife & I follow all Duds uploads & are so very greatful for his incredible knowledge & sharing of this knowledge. Just bought us our first compounds after 30years of longbow ( started with a bear Hunter 40 years ago ) .. But %100 committed to PSE on this man's influence & information.. 🤙

Great interview. Nockon has really empowered me to improve my setup and also my shooting.

Heck yea! Fantastic news! Dudley definitely deserves it!! Cant wait to get my hands on that bow! Congratulations

Looks like a great bow, and sounds like a fantastic partnership for years to come. Pse was my first bow the Axe 6. I still have it today, and still hunt with it, but would love to up grade.

Dudley's plan/ idea sounds amazing and inspirational and I think PSE is an awesome company for teaming up to do this with him. This is going to be truly great for the whole archery community!

I'm a Mathews guy. I love John's videos he's basically taught me to be able to maintenance my own bow.

The world needs more John Dudleys! 💗

I'm waiting on my first bow in the mail. I'm 38yr old and have already started working through his youtube vids. I had not heard of John Dudley but am beginning to realize how much of a legend he is in the sport. It's amazing he puts in so much time and effort to pass on his years of knowledge and it's free on youtube. Funny thing is I'd already ordered a PSE before he switched today! I'm feeling pretty good about my choice now lol

Excellent interview; heard the last Nock On podcast, Dudley is awesome and deserves the best of lucks due how much supports the archer/bowhunting comunity!

Much respect to dud. Long time follower and always will be. It doesn’t matter what bow company your with. Find what works for you and go shoot.

Looking forward to where your partnership will take PSE, much respect to you sir, you've been a true asset to the archery community. My first real bow was a PSE back in the 80s. Merica!

This just proves how real JD is! PSE definitely made a power move landing Dud. Can’t wait for the new Rogan bow build vid.

Very happy for you John Dudley! Nock on everybody!!

I love that you guys have done this and had the conversations. This industry is cool. It has a much more transparent feel to it, and it's because of leaders like Lancaster using their platform in effective ways.

I still have my pse mach 9 set up with a sure loc challenger and till this day in still shooting 300 with it on a 5 spot and every time I watch a John Dudley video I still learn more on shooting

I had very good customer care a few years ago. I friend of mine had his handle break and I contacted the dealer over here in the UK but had a totally negative response. I contacted PSE directly and within 10 days they had sent out a new handle with a cap, chest guard and other bits from the States, it was nice to see someone cares about their customers and sticks by them. Well done PSE

I have a carbon air 2017. Love the cams and adjustability Like the idea not dropping a brand new model in six months. Can wait to see all your input.

Heck yeah my fist bow is a 2019 PSE Madness Unleashed B3. Nothing else stood out to me more than a PSE when I was doing research for my first bow and there unbelievable cam system. Smooth as butta! Im so pumped to be on the PSE team with the Dudly.

Great video, PSE was the first bow I ever bought as well. As well I have shot Hoyt and Mathews. Unfortunately I’m no longer able to shoot a bow and now shoot a crossbow.

Who doesn't like being listened to. What a champion and beautiful human.

Awesome John! Hope all is well!

I'm not a big PSE fan, I certainly have an appreciation for Dudley, I am just glad the guy got to have some input. He seems happy, it'll be better for the industry as a whole, and it may actually start to light a fire under Hoyt. Congrats Dud and PSE, PJ thanks for the interview.

Hey what would you think about using a deal like on a gun bipod for the kickstand I believe it would be awesome. Just make it to where it can screw on there and all you have to do is push button and it extends out

I am die hard Martin archery but John is the man no matter who he represents his videos are great and I do have a PSE been a fan for 25 years

Not gonna lie...I actually just learned, and subsequently researched a lot about PSE. Didn't know much about them before but the XPEDITE is a legit bow. Made in the US, I myself am a vet with a business degree and appreciate the shift of focus to US production again. A lot of jobs were lost overseas, but also, to automation. The handcrafting that is required in this art is one that is proliferated and bridged for guys like me through guys like John, creates just a few more jobs and cash flow to the right companies, but with a big cultural impact... Thanks John!

The Tuscon facility is impressive. Do they still have the Alexander Kirillov doing classes there?

Will there be a ntn 31 coming soon?

I want this bow! Very, very nice 👍

Is this all Carbon (limb and riser)? Or aluminum limbs?

That arrow stand feature is really cool👍👍

So you're saying if I buy a PSE NtN I'll have coaching sessions and such?

I haven’t shot any of PSE’ flagship models but they offer the best package bow for the money. The drive with the high end package is a great deal. You get a drop away, micro adjustment sight, decent quiver, and it’s fairly quiet. Most of all the cams are unmatched. The speed you get with the amount of holding weight, ease of draw, and 7in brace height can’t be beat at $650. The closest you can get IMO is a bowtech carbon icon but it’s another $100

As a pretty conservative person I'm not a fan of the of Nock On brand but I absolutely love all that Dudley has to offer along with his spirit of professionalism. I wish all the best in this new opportunity for both parties.

Huge move man, seems bold. I want to try a few different bows lately. The new mathews looks sick. Maybe a pse is in order to try too! People will trip out about his choice at first but with time it will go well for sure. in a couple years time this will be old news and everyone will be moving more towards PSE than they were before he switched.

Are we not going to mention the transformobot strolling through at 7:30?

I'm a huge bowtech fan, especially with the last couple of releases. But having a knowledgeable guy like Dudley putting out tuning content, etc specific to my bow is pretty compelling. Maybe a PSE is in my future....

I think, To Hoyt he was just a face for influence over his vast community of followers. A sales gimmick. Hoyt has teams of engineers who’ve spent decades of research and development and could care less about his menial developmental ideas. Plus the cost of modifications to a production process must be weighed against the benefit of the changes and financial return. Nothing he added to that pse increased their revenue other than his name. Give pse a few years and I’ll bet they don’t implement his ideas anymore. Just a bargaining tactic to get him to the lineup.

To my disappointment I couldn't shoot a Hoyt near as well as literally any other bow I had owned previously. Nothing against hoyt. My first bow was the PSE Thunderbolt and since then I've jumped from top end bow company to the next for the last 15 years and 2 years ago realized that PSE was just underrated in my opinion, so I bought an evolve that I still shoot to this day. Who knows what kind of monetary deal Dudley got in his switch to PSE, but it'll be nice to see this company get back to the top dog because quite frankly I think they need to be noticed as such. If Pete is true to his word and continues to get advice from arguably the best shooter in the world, PSE will be untouchable. I think Hoyt is a little foolish for not wanting to take his advice.

The Pro Comp I got for about a third of the original price and Pro Force was just under half price. I would never buy a product just because a high profile salesman says I should buy it.
