I shoot my V3X at 60lbs and have for a while. My hunting arrow is 400 grains and at my 31" draw they're going 285 fps. I shot two deer with that setup last year and can tell you I'm more accurate with the lower poundage

Hoyt Ventum...with Victory arrows V1 TKO RIP. About 424 gr. Set at 65lbs. No problem on killin Whitetails with this setup.... and SIK broadheads.. best setup i ever hunted with. Your right Hoyt cams r awesome.

I would also like to see a video of what grain arrow is best for what draw weight.

I like my 400 gr Rampage out of my 50lb PSE n Bowtech bows at 265fps. Kills anything I shoot

Hoyt has the best draw cycle. However the draw cycle is something you can adapt to. Hoyt is a great choice for shootabality

Completely agree on draw cycle of Hoyt. Didn’t even want to like the RX8 Ultra. Shot one-ordered one. This afternoon having played Mathews bows for years!

Great comparison thanks for making it 👍 I think the hunting world gets too caught up in the poundage speed thing though. If Paige Pearce can put down a giraffe with a 60# bow shooting 700 grain arrow at 215 fps (granted she's a world class archer) it should put to bed any argument you need a higher poundage bow (all you 80 & 90 lb bow hunters 😉) & that arrow placement is the most important thing to worry about.

I agree. Also, people like what they like, and I feel you should shoot whatever you're comfortable with. I do think we need to get away from the mindset that you NEED an 80 or 90 lb bow.

The reason for a higher poundage bow is for when the shot placement isn't perfect. Everyone that shoots a 60 says you don't need a 70, everyone that shots a 70 says you don't need an 80. Everyone that can't pull the higher wait says you don't need it, but the higher the poundage bow the higher the amount of energy in the arrow, which in turn will make it more effective against bone and more lethal. Like my great grandpa killed a whitetail with a .22, me saying that's why there's no reason for a bigger hunting rifle is a shallow arguement

Shooting a 2024 Hoyt Alpha X 30. (from Extreme Outfitters). I shot the Mathews 29.5 Lift and the BowTech Carbon. All three were awesome bow's, however, the back wall on the Hoyt felt better to me and thats being very nit picky. The Carbon bows were incredible but more than I choose to spend.

🤘🏻🤘🏻 The alpha x is such a killer bow!

Shooting right behind the Garmin is fine, it's the distance from the target that you need to consider so it has enough time to pickup the arrow consistently. Ideally 20 yards from the target, but you can go as close as 10 yards for the speed of arrows without issues.

Thank you ! Shooting rx8 at 291/4 draw 64 pounds 462 grain arrow at 270fps! Might bump up to 480 grain 67 pounds not sure still kicking it around!

Almost like you : Mathews V3X 29, 28 3/4", 65#, 485grs arrow weight, never used a chrono to know the speed, but I assume around 265 fps.

I have a golden eagle "hawk system " bow that very few people can pull back. I've shot many arrows of different weights, lengths(aluminum and graphite), and it shot very well. Never got a chrono on it though.

Yall dont get caught up on draw weight. With 60 pound limbs you shoot a lighter spined arrow, which weighs less, and restores speed. Kinetic energy suffers, but just shoot fixed broadheads out of a well-tuned bow.

Interesting, i have the rx7 ultra 30" draw 70lbs, with a 523g arrow 266fps not lightning fast but i wanted the heavier weight.

I’m shooting the PSE Mach 30. I’m 58 and shooting 60lbs 27inch draw..363 grains. Smoking at 297 fps.

Absolutely agree!

My old 1994 oneida turned up was too much. Should of got in better shape. I had to back it off a full turn and recheck timing and sights. It still puts an arrow through a 6 inch round tree at 70 yards. Even passed on a shot in the yard at doe. Because too many moving parts. I have to draw it back real slow old guy hunting. Just sitting at picnic table no blind with deer looking at me. The traditional bow is easier to get a shoot when old guy hunting. Hunting can cost a lot but don't have too. I got a doe with my 3/4 pvc bow. I hunt my moms orchard, so deer are used to people. More like pets. I would love a shorter bow. That old oneida is 49". Makes it hard in blinds and sitting in flat bottom boats. If taking a longer shot the arch of the arrow matters. More speed less arch needed. I bow fish, deer hunt, and bear hunt.

I’m shooting a Mathews Lift 29.5, 29” draw at 80lbs, 85% let off, 472 grain arrow. I’m 31 now and have been an archer for 25 years. am in peak physical shape. If I am comfortable and confident shooting 80 lb mods why wouldn’t I?!

why- speed makes kinetic energy. You are not comparing apples to apples.at 70 pounds you are shooting a 430 grain arrow. you should be testing the 60 pound bow with a arrow that is 6.142 grains per pound just like the 70 pound bow. That would mean an arrow that is 368.5 grains, and 6.142 grains per pound. Both bows have more than enough kinetic energy to kill any North American animal at that arrow weight and the speed will be just about the same. What hunters really need to know is the kinetic energy. To hunt really big game in Africa it was mandatory to have at least a 100 pound recurve. That recure would not even come close to the energy a good 50 pound compound can produce today.

Yeeeeeeeee

Man says “gonna start with this heavy arrow” but yet all the grain arrows he said were all 500+. Someone shooting 60lbs is not shooting a 500 grain arrow. You should be testing them in the 350-550 range. But not all in the 500s. Not everyone is a ranch fairy.
