Same here! Great people and awesome bows

Great Review. I love my 1st Gen Xpedite and have killed 2 nice deer with it. I too am a 28.5” draw and my bow shoots my 430 grain arrow 304 fps at 80% let off with the comfort mods. Glad to hear that the 2021’s are shooting the same speeds. Can’t wait for the lefties to start hitting the shops so I can try one. 🦌 🏹

Excellent review. Yes indeed, it is smooth and fast. I picked one up used from Archery Talk. 80 pounds 30” pushing 602 grains 291-292 feet per second, easier to draw than my 70 pound Brute. I love it

Another solid video my dude

Ahhhh I've been waiting for this review from you! I'm glad you liked it.... I've gotta have one, haha maybe one day. Congrats on the partnership as well!

I was ready to buy a competitor bow. I saw your video and am going to give PSE a try. I like what they have done with this bow.

Great video and song

Great review. Just picked this bow up. I also heard you could upgrade the yoke system like PSE put on the EVO EVL, can you do a video on switching that out some time on the Xpedite NXT which would most likely assist with tuning and cam lean much easier than shimming? Maybe a video to go over that would be great!!!

I'm still shooting my original 2021 Xpedite. You're dead right, the shorter draw length guys like me (26.5inch) are well served with the Xpedite. In fact I'm shooting the more aggressive moduled with a 525g arrow and it's still plenty fast enough. Think I'll look at the 2021 NXT. Nice useful and concise video as always.

What did you get for speeds?

I like the song !

Shoulda went with “Kick start my heart”🤘🏻. Anyways, nice content. I really haven’t been in to speed bows since the Carrera...99’. This one however, with the evolve cams with 33 ATA has me wanting one.

So have the evo nxt 33 and love it. I did notice you had the string for your hamskea rest tied on the down cable by the yolk splitter. I would like to do that but worried it will screw up the loop at the yolk splitter. Did it do anything to yours. Thx Robert

Still waiting patiently for my Xpedite to show up at my local pro shop... Glad to see you enjoy yours!

I thought it was hilarious. Made me laugh out loud.

So I'm assuming my archery shop has a faulty cronograph. I have the same bow 72# 28.5 DL w/fl mods shooting a 495g arrow and it was coming up at 285fps. Just by looking at your numbers does this sound right? Or should it ba shooting faster. Thx

So I’ve got the NXT 31 and shot the xpedite today.. to be honest the speed is amazing, but there is definitely more hand shock than lead to believe. Still going to buy it, but going to tinker with Matthews TRX too (I’m a PSE fan but something about the TRX I just really like )

Just so you know, you can put the speed mod on it and turn it down 5-7 Lb. and still have it be 5-6 feet a second faster while it will even draw easier than it is now. I think they have a smoother draw cycle with the speed mod if you keep the speed relatively the same. If you leave the Lb. same it will draw a bit more harshly.

@KnightsoftheApex

Funny you mention that. Been messing with the speed mods the last week and love them. Took a few shots to reacclimate after coming from 90% let off but the bow holds even steadier and the felt vibration was less after the shot. Accuracy was unchanged from what I can tell going out to 70. I think I might stick to the speed mods and have it cranked up for the time being.

@DNA Nationalism It's just the FL mod. Just call a shop or call PSE and order them. I don't know that there is a link. They are used with all the Evolve cams. The HL mod that they ship their bows out with is 80%, 85%, and 90% let-off depending on what hole you position the draw stop in. The FL mod is 65%, 70%, and 75% let-off. I use all 3 of my PSE bows on the 75% setting with the FL Mod. You can look at the stamped number on the mod, the last 2 letters are HL for high let-off or FL for fast let-off.

love the video, I'm about to set up my 70# Xpedite NXT this weekend more than likely (awaiting Gen 7x rest, Axcel Achieve XP sight, Bowfinger 40mm scope, zbros evo plus light etc. Just curious what you set your center shot to, and location of arrow through the berger hole?

@KnightsoftheApex

I check my cam timing then set my nocking point for the direct middle of the string. I then set my rest off that for 90degrees. The cams are symmetrical and the riser allows for a center shot so that gets the cleanest arrow flight from what I have found. I just eye ball my left and right. Didn't have to touch that on this bow.

Being a short draw archer I am debating between a Xpedite in 70 pounds or a Evo 31 in 80. It sounds like you are stating the Xpedite is more comfortable to shoot then the 31? My only concern is the short brace height and bulky clothes in cold weather.

@KnightsoftheApex

The Xpedite is a smoother draw and equal to better shooter than my 31. The clothing issue is a real one and all depends what you're wearing. I've run into issues even with longer brace height bows.

Here's my question for you.. I want a speed bow 60#29" because the older I get I don't wanna pull back 70# in winter time haha and the bows now are so much better than the bows of old.. for example this bow with 60# limbs would prob shoot circles around my older elites on 70# I gaurentee that and now they all have 90% let off ..can u do a review on 70# 29 draw?

@KnightsoftheApex

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Josh, I believe the Xpedite I shot in my first impressions video was either 60 or 65#. The bow was quieter and the small hump before the valley was even smoother. I think this is a perfect option for what you are looking for and I actually know from talking to one of the PSE reps that he runs a similar setup just because he likes the added comfort for hunting situations. The Xpedite is a speed bow that doesn't feel like a speed bow. I know the 5.5" Brace Height intimidates some people but I have not found it to be any more sensitive than the longer brace height PSE's or other manufacturers I have shot.

Have the Evolve 35 , 5 years, and Beast 38, 2 years. Love me some PSE. Looking at another PSE or Elite this year. Have a 30” draw and draw 70#. Pro is telling me to go to 60# with a longer brace height for comfort. I’m not too much into comfort, more into taking animals. This may be a good compromise. 60# with a performance mood if they have one.

As speed increases, wind resistance/drag increases exponentially - so whilst a bow might be extremely fast at close range, the farther you shoot the less advantage you get. If you double your speed, drag increases by a factor of 4x. So speed bows sound sexy, and they are... but momentum, efficiency and kinetic energy are more important!! So the advantage of a speed bow is to some degree in your head - you're better off increasing your point weight to have higher momentum and greater penetration. There are benefits to lighter bows... Eg, easier to hold for long periods, easier to maintain good form, less damage to your body and pain as you age etc. Make the smart choice. Use the upstairs brain!!

General rule of thumb you lose 8fps per inch of draw length. So I would estimate this bow with the stock mods and a 450grain arrow would be pumping 285ish fps at 27" and 70#

That intro was painfully long. Then when you went all "Garand Thumb"....you nearly lost me. Be yourself bro. Having said that, I've got a black 70# Xpedite NXT. I'm rocking the PSE branded QAD Ultrarest, and a 10" Bstinger up front with 4oz and an 8" Bstinger on the rear with 5oz. With no stabilizers, the bow is pretty top heavy. Mine is neutrally balanced now, but I might switch to a 12" up front and 10" on the back. The bow is just incredible. Not harsh at all, despite being one of the fastest bows made. I look forward to seeing your later review on the bow, assuming of course you're not going to channel Garand Thumb anymore. -Donnie
