TOP TIER BOWS FOR 2024
MATHEWS LIFT 29.5" VS HOYT RX8
I am excited about these two bows! If you havent had the chance to shoot the yet, I highly recommend finding the chance to shoot them!
INSANE to think that Mathews was able to create an aluminum bow that competes with Hoyts Carbon line as far as the weight goes.
I hope this helps show how great both these bows really are, they both are top tier in my opinion.
Thank you all so much for your continued support!

    Just to confirm, you have pre checked and adjusted the draw weights, right? Because it’s very common for bows to come from the manufacturer on the hot side. Wanted to confirm this is a head to head comparison, and one isn’t drawing heavier than the other. Thanks again!

    @@NMBowhntr draw length too. Matthews is apparently shipping the Lift 33 with an exaggerated draw length. One inch draw is usually worth about 10 fps. so when they produce a bow advertised as 30.0" but it is actually 30.25" they are adding about 2.5 fps to the arrow speed that is seen in tests and probably also in their literature. Sure, 2.5 fps isn't much but when you are selling tens / hundreds of thousands of these bows and competing against the likely suspects the manufacturer wants a "favorable" comparison for folks that can't or wont' dig deep enough to understand the differences.

    I’m a bit confused. You say the Lift 29.5 settles well and feels very stable at full draw but in your previous video you said the Lift 33 did not settle and felt stable at full draw? I shot both and both are great bows but the 33 is definitely more stable and settles better than the 29.5 due to the longer riser. Both great bows

    Haha no what happened was I filmed this video prior to filming the one against the Hoyt, I felt that the Mathews settled very well and then when I put it against the Hoyt you realize it doesn’t settle as well as the Hoyt. So a better what of saying it would be “the Mathews settles well, but the Hoyt settles better”

    Yeah that is the difference of IBO and ATA speeds. Hoyt uses ATA speeds and Mathews uses IBO. Dont get me wrong the Lift is an incredible bow! I honestly have nothing bad to say about it! But so is the RX8 and so it really comes down to preference and what you look for in a bow!

    @@HaxenHunt Also, as I've said in other comments, it has been shown in other reviews that at least with the Lift 33, Matthews produced a bow with a longer draw length than advertised. Meaning the actual DL on the "30.0"" draw bow is 30.25". That extra draw length should pick up about an additional 2.5 fps. That can't be an accident. Matthews engineers know EXACTLY what they engineered and delivered.

    So I went to shoot Mathews at 2 different bow shops and each time they had the Mathews draw weight at 65 pounds. I made them turn it up to 70 to compare a bow tec and Hoyt and I can see why these dealers did that to Mathews because man it’s a hard cycle to draw. Both Hoyt and bowtec had a way better draw and think Hoyt had a slight better draw cycle plus you get the speed. And Mathews definitely had more jump in the hand after the shot. What Mathews got going for them is the bow looks sexy!lol Hoyts line up is way better trust me! If your wanting a lighter bow then the pse is better than Mathews this year.
