I bet you could do this test over and over and the winner would flip flop. 2 great bows. But ultimately it comes down the each shot, and the user. Loving the content Tim!!

Love to watch videos about shooting. My husband has a Bowtech and I have a Mathews. We both love our bows so found this very interesting. Good job Tim.

Love that custom green/orange look on your Mathews 🤘👍, brings me back to my youth in the early 90's when neon colors were everywhere splattered like that on almost everything. I come from more of a hunting bow back ground (never shot or used a target competition bow)but I recently checked out the bowtech at my local shop & got to say it felt AMAZING in hand! It has me seriously considering getting creative with my finances to swing the $1,500 for one.

Good shooting Tim!

Fun video, love the creative shots. Seemed like you held for a super song time on some of the shots, noticed that on the last couple videos, has that always been the case?

I second the opinion regarding the quality of your videos - very cinematic. Since 2010, I have owned two bows: a Mathews Drenalin LD and a Bowtech Revolt X. I shoot each bow nearly the same, although I have more 50 yard, 5-arrow groups that are all touching with the Bowtech than the Mathews. But the Mathews is sooo much more quiet - it may be the better hunting bow due only to that factor. Thank you for the great videos and the informal test.

I’m curious on this “budget” arrow build.. Always interested in the points diminishing returns.

I like the Elk Shape, and I like your channel. I find myself watching your channel more

Nice shootin dude. I have been fighting wrist torque on my phase 4. I need to get it figured out.

Tim, Great video and Happy for you going out on your own. I know this channel will grow! I have found that the less time I have in the holding position the more accurate I am. I have shoulder issues and have had a mass removed from my right bicep/triceps, it has forced me to become quicker in my shot, subsequently it caused me to get on target faster and become a lot more accurate. I use both a index finger and thumb release, worked on my trigger slap and got that under control. Overall, speed on target made me a better more accurate shot. I know you like that style of release but I noticed your moving a lot while waiting on the release to release. Maybe work on the speed in which you release. ( wow said RELEASE a lot in that last sentence!)

Tim it's been a pleasure watching your progression from beginner to what I would now call you( seasoned bow hunter). Not sure if I'm the only one that noticed but your way more accurate by yourself. So that tells me your letting your nerves get the best of you when shooting with others. Just grip it ( not to tight) and rip it young man. Have fun out there. Enjoying the new channel and the banter back and forth between you and MFJJ is hilarious. Glad to see some friendships you made while with Dan haven't diminished. Keep it up.

Ur doing well Tim. I'm enjoying this content. Shame abt the split from elk shape but u seem to be doing well.

Good shooting all round, you definitely look stable behind the Bowtech

Tim here is an idea that may put a huge smile on your face. Take the side plates off the Mathews and put the Beereal Ultraview grip 2.0 on and you won’t ever say that the grip is not as repeatable. Had the side plates on for a year and switched to the 2.0 a month ago and it was a definite game changer

I did not notice it until you were shooting. The sasquatch but is the click I hear you turning the safety off on your release?

Need to know how your finding the arrow shelf/ grip dose your hand slip over the arrow shelf? Or do you find your finder slips over after the shot?

Tim what is the release strap you have? Looking to get one for my thumb button

My first bow as a man is a Bowtech Reign 7 and I have 0 complaints.

This guy is like a freakin scientist when it comes to bows. I’m not sure what his name is but I love it when he’s in your videos. Suggestion though: I’m new to archery and am shooting a Blackout bow right now. This test would be better fitted for someone else who has never shot either bow and doesn’t have confirmation bias. I know both are great bows and I’m looking into upgrading to a Bowtech, but I plan on shooting a PSE, Elite, Mathews, Hoyt, and Bowtech to see which actually feels better to me.

I’m a Mathew’s fan even though I love all the features on the Bowtech I’ve never shot one but nice shooting anyway I feel either way you can’t go wrong 👍

I love my Bowtechs. Smooth, fast, and love the Clutch style grip. That said, I actually really dig your DIY paintjob on the Mathews! If you haven't tried one yet, you really should get ahold of Tim Gillingham and order one of his grips for the Bowtech. I suggest the 6 degree narrow. They are superb!

Great video but I’d like to hear more about what you like and what you don’t like on each bow like comparing the two and that being said… which one do you like to shoot more like which one is more enjoyable to shoot?

Used to shoot at a range every day that used those black compressed “carpet”? targets. The friction on carbon arrows actually will destroy them over time. Had a thin wall 23 carbon (vapor 23 speed) actually break during a shot and thankfully it made it off the bow and not into my bow hand. Ever since I refused to shoot at any of those targets. The range got rid of them because they were destroying arrows over time. Honestly haven’t seen one of those targets in like 15 years.

With all the technology in bows the new ones will all be around the the same accuracy wise. Now it’s more about preference on how they shoot and the feeling of each bow.

Are the arrows to the bowtech the same size as the Matthews

I know MFJJ doesn’t carry Athens but you should definitely give it a try!

I think you should redo the video and use the more modern lift and bowteck with the same axle, axle and compare the prices with all the gear. I know getting a good bow, sometimes requires getting some good accessories. My bow all tipped out was over 3000 USD. I tested many many many bows, including carbon fiber. The nicest all around, I found was the Matthews lift 29.

What’s the stabilizer setup you have on the Bowtech. I need a set like that for my Bowtech.

Great video, that last shot though... Would have rather seen a best 2 out of 3 or best 3 shot group for your tie breaker instead of one final shot. Specially seeing how you pulled a shot with each and shot center with each. Would have also liked to hear a general comparison while shooting side by side. Like after shooting x, y has the better draw cycle, and after shooting y, x feels more stable in the hand... That sort of thing.
