No wrong choice. Both great bows.

That’s the coolest looking shop I’ve ever seen if it’s that good in person you guys done a great job on the shop

Been shooting a Bear from 2006. It's done for, served me and my grandfather before me very well. Shot the V3X 33 and Ventum pro 33 side by side and wound up picking up the V3X. Barely noticed a difference, but there was a difference. If I had another $2000, I'd have bought both, and then taken both out in the woods to really compare them. Both great brands.

I got a Hoyt Torrex this past Fall as my first bow. Absolutely love it, i will say though with upgrading....i feel left in the dark with certain parts, especially Hoyt parts being especially for the Larger tagged flag ship bows. Matthews seems like such a go to in my area and the shop i go to. Love their proprietary parts and set ups, they just look so clean and easy to put together. Maybe my next bow will be a matthews (if it feels right for me). Great comparison video!

I bought my torrex xt Ld one and is absolutely accurate bow the best bow I ever had not need upgrade as it shoot as good or better than ventum 30 also nobody mentioned before that limbs on ventum and torrex xt are the same ! My with 350g arrow and 70lbs shoots 330-333 fps faster than rx5 in the same spec absolutely happy 😃 and I even happier cos I didn’t have to spend 1000$or more! I would recommend to anyone this bow .

I got to try both of these bows side by side at the Great American Outdoor Show. Unfortunately the Hoyt RX7 was set up with a significantly longer draw length and weight so it was nearly impossible to compare the draw cycle. The Hoyt was significantly lighter and I agree the draw was stacked in the front end. Hoyt was completely dead of vibration when the show went off. The Mathew's V3X 29" draw was so smooth. The Mathew's was also dead with vibration when the shot went off but was harder to hold on target due to its weight. I would have been set on the Mathews if I had to make a choice (cost aside) on the spot but I want to go to my local shop and really be able to compare them with a better match. I had my heart set on the RX5 from last year and want to confirm that the RX7 is the bow for me (a little biased from previous year).

Great reviews guys! Get one of each. They're both great bows. You can't go wrong with either one.

Enjoy your videos! Would love to see you do a video with Raymond going over different releases and brands - pros, cons, etc...

What also helps is choosing the proper arrow head and arrow, it’s almost like the fishing tools selecting the right gear for the task. Just shooting a FYI brother

That’s my local shop! Great guys, Joey always takes care of me

I am getting back into archery after a 39 year hiatus and have shot both of these bows as well as last years V3 & RX5 models - the technology of these bows are phenominal! My impressions are the following. Hoyt definitely improved the most over their Rx5 in the form of reduction of vibration from last year, not even close from last years model. With that being said, they, Hoyt, came up to the vibration reduction that Mathews has had for years!! The new grip on the Hoyt is hands down so much better than the Mathews grip IMO, not even close. The draw cycle on the Hoyt is smoother for lack of a better term due to the draw being harder up front then smoothing out - you get a little harsh hump on the back end on the V3X. You cannot go wrong with either brand, the major difference in cost is definitely the strongest consideration due to the carbon fiber cost for sure. If cost were equal, I would go with the Hoyt RX7 but even then it would not be a runaway decision due to the Mathews being one of the best or best on the market! The Hoyt IMO is such a great looking bow aesthetically and just is pleasing to the eye. So the caveat between the two manufacturers based on multiple shop owners that carry both brands comes down to customer service and standing behind the bow with parts almost to infinity - we know where I am going here - Mathews, not even close!!! If you are able financially to buy a new bow every year, then it doesn’t matter. But I imagine both brands of these bows don’t break down very easily due to their technology but I can’t speak from experience based on not owning either brand and being out of archery forever. I went with the Mathews V3X 33” because while I loved the Hoyt RX7 for sure, I didn’t feel for the extra money it was worth paying for a little smoother draw cycle! That price difference gets you a top of the line bow sight and then some. Loved both the bows and everyone knows you can’t go wrong with either!!!

Where are you getting them for considerably less? I’m looking to buy one ASAP.

Here is another thing about the Mathews. I love how I can now put my site through the riser. With the new quiver Mathews manufacturers it helps bring all the weight in which help stabilize the shot better. One downfall about the Mathews. It is a little heavy. Once you put your front and rear stabilizer on the bow the weight goes up even more. I ended up pulling my rear stabilizer off and downsizing on my front stabilizer to lighten it up. This helps when hunting. Now think about it. With the Mathews you have to buy a dovetail site, their low pro quiver, and whatever else. With that added in the bow will now cost around 1700 bucks. Close to the Hoyt that comes with a stabilizer.

Like you said also, the v3 is a shoulder killer if you’re out shooting a whole bunch. For a long term bow (hopefully), I need something easy to draw, prevent being frozen cold to the touch and lightweight

Just got the hoyt ventum pro 30 love it the grip and the smooth draw was the final nail that made me chose hoyt over the mathews

I guess I’m the exception. I went with the V3X. The price difference was a factor for sure. Not a fan of the engage grip- but had a UV grip from my previous bow-best grip out there. The V3X just held a litter better for me and the switch weight option to shoot 60,65,70,75 is great for hunting and 3D. I also liked the sound of the V3X better. The bridge lock is better than the picatinny rail mount. My only complaint is the camo finishes- I won’t get a camo finish in a Matthews bow. They aren’t as good a quality as the Hoyt or even the PSE. So only solid colors in a Mathews for me.

i shot the vtm the rx 7 and the phase 4 (the v3's 2023 next release) for like 5 hours before i settled on the phase 4. you guys are right the hoyts draw cycles are smoother. But I absolutely loved how the arrow left off the phase 4 everything just clicks really well with the mathews tech the moment you release the arrow. ultimately you cant go wrong with any flagship bow its just a matter of how you feel shooting the particular model in your hands. I chose mathews for my main hunting bow for at least the next few years. in 3 or so ill re examine the industry and if nothings really changed in technology thats ground breaking ill just restring my phase 4 and keep shooting it. The guys at my pro shop said it best. You dont choose your bow usually the bow will choose you.

Everyone who is a Mathews fan read my comment. I went to the local bow shop today, 10-12-22 , to compare my Vertix to the new V3X. I have traded up every two to three years since the switchback. My specs are 26.5 inch draw at 56 lbs. (65 yrs old hunting whitetail with bow for over 50 yrs.) Same arrows 350 gr. same settings. Results: My Vertix- 284 fps. V3X-283 fps. The bow dealer agreed the Vertix was quieter. I felt the Vertix had a smoother draw. It defiantly had less vibration and was much smoother. Overall the Vertix was an all around better shooting faster bow.

So which one is made of carbon and which one aluminum?

As a drummer when I buy drum stick I make sure they both weight the same so what I do is I weigh them in the same hand. Because whatever is in my dominant hand will feel lighter.

glad the shop owner mentioned draw weight, I am no expert, I have only been at this about 3 years but holly hell judging from what I see lots and lots of people are pulling more than they should.... wild form, crazy yanking draws that look like a power lifter, lots of the shaky sky draws, and can only practice for about 20-30 arrows. *thats on flat ground, nice weather, or indoors... imagine the issue is magnified in the stand and cold. Out of these bows Id just get the one the grip felt best, but carbon is appealing to me. Off topic but I am excited about light weight carbon bows BUT for target, you want a heavy bow for target so once set up it would weigh the same as my current target rig but more weight on the ends of the stabilizers where its working for me vs just hanging weight.

I can already tell you right now before even watching the video without question the Hoyts are the best bows this year. I shot every new flagship bow this year (as usual)& the Hoyts blew me away. Haven't owned a Hoyt in about 9 years but I do now. I went Ventum pro 33 as I liked the extra speed & lower price than carbon. I can also already assume from your previous videos you'll still choose the Mathews because, well you're a Mathews fan. And you're used to them

I would go with the Hoyt Ventum pro over the Rx7. Its basically same bow, but aluminum riser, it uses the same cams. For you being at 28" draw Hoyt's ventum pro 30 ATA 25-28" draw module would be maxed out and could shoot faster than that Rx7. For me Hoyt's feel is why I shoot Hoyt, the draw cycle is too harsh for my liking on the V3X, and others.

I went to my local pro shop and shot them both, same poundage and same draw lengths and this is what I found. V3X was awesome it was heavier obviously and shot awesome, but it did have barely more hand vibration after the shot, also the draw cycle was more harsh and seemed like a shorter valley but overall really good. One thing to consider is the stock Mathews strings seem to be trash so figure in a little money for a new set. RX7 smoother draw a little lighter and a tiny bit louder. Overall i don’t think you could go wrong with either! P.s. I’m not a brand loyal guy these are just what I experienced. 🤘🏾 nock&roll

I've always loved the look of the hoyt bows. I still shoot a older power hawk

Hi Bill McStay, I bought a Hoyt RX-7 Ultra, and I could feel the weight difference between that and the Matthew’s. And that’s with that little mini stabilizer attached to the Hoyt.

I have the Mathews V3X 29” and I love it. But. It is a harsh draw. I shoot at 60 lbs. and when I’m out just practicing it’s hard on my shoulder. I’ve also had shoulder surgery. This was my first Mathews bow and I thought it was just me and my shoulder until I started hearing everyone else say the same thing. Another thing about the Mathews. It is a little heavy. I went with the Mathews because it was affordable to me and they of course make a great bow. If price isn’t an issue and you want something that is smoother to draw and is also lighter. Then go with the Hoyt. Either way they both make a great bow. In my opinion though I didn’t like the look of their carbon bow. I liked the Mathews look. That’s just me and my opinion though.

@justintime9026

Im a 29" draw as well and the draw was a bit harsh I then had the pro shop staff suggest trying the 28.5" draw module and it is insanely more smooth so if you can try that out and see if it helps. Mathews is known to be half inch longer draw than what they say it is which makes sense since ive had hoyts and pse and prime bows all at 29" draw length. Hope that helps!

When you weighed the bows, the Hoyt had the included stabilizer still on it and the Matthew’s was bare. I was on the horns of this dilemma myself and ultimately went with an rx7 ultra; however my local shop didn’t stock the phase 4 so I would have had to buy it without shooting it, whereas the rx7 I could try. I was looking to upgrade from a torrex xt, shot a VTM33, rx7 and bow tech carbon 1. The only one of those that felt like an upgrade worth paying for was the rx7. But yikes! Pay you must…. Rx7 is not a cheap option. However, it feels worth it to me; I shoot my bow a lot so I decided I’d sell some things I don’t use so much to make up the difference. No regrets so far.

I've never shot a Matthews so I can't really voice an opinion on that. I know Hoyt makes a solid bow and have owned a few. I'm trying to decide between the PSE Levitate and the Hoyt Twin Turbo but can't find any comparison videos/article. People compare the Levitate to the RX-7 but that's not a fair comparison for either product.

Hoyt has finally come up with an optimised design that closely matches what Mathews have been being doing since the 2018 Triax.. Two very close bows in specs.. Well done Hoyt... But unless Hoyt reduces their prices, I will stick with the Mathews value for $$$

This will be my 28th year shooting a Hoyt. I get a new one every 3 to 4 years but the price is getting a little out of hand and that’s why I have decided to give Mathews a try for my 29th year of bow hunting

IMO the bows are very comparable and at this point besides the bow cost you should factor in each brands accessories and which you prefer. Do you want the Mathews Bridge Lock Sight setup and its low pro quiver? Its difficult to find some of the popular dovetail sights for the Mathews. The Axcel Landslyde is ridiculously hard to find. I have heard some horror stories finding the popular Picatinny sights as well. Pick your poison. I personally think you want the draw feel of a Hoyt and will disappointed with anything else from my POV from watching your previous reviews.

I don't buy a new bow every year, or even every few years. I bought my Hoyt Carbon Element RKT in 2012. I still love it, taken a lot of game with it, and still get a lot of comments at the 3D tournaments. It cost $1200 back in 2012, but it has been a joy for 10 years, so in my situation I would spend the extra money as I feel it amortizes the cost over the years of enjoyment. Also, it looks like it belongs in the timber where the Mathews looks like it belongs patching the latticework under my granddad's old porch.

I noticed in your video, you were clenching the grip just ahead of the shot. Your anticipating your shot. Switch to a hinge or resistance release, and watch yourself improve! And, those releases are fun to shoot!

But again - Booth are great Products!

I’d go with the Hoyt. You’ll enjoy shooting that bow more. I hunt in cold climates and the carbon riser makes a huge difference in hand comfort holding that bow.

Right now it's February 27 2022 so I know my opinion is a little late. However, if another opinion is being looked for here's mine. If money is important then go with the Mathews. They are excellent bows and have an incredible reputation. If money isn't as important and you hunt in very cold weather, still hunt or stalking and you need to keep your bow in your hand for extended periods of time then get the Hoyt as the carbon bow is lighter by a good 1/2 pound and the carbon riser will allow you to keep your hand warmer as you hunt. As noted the bow is also lighter so it will pack easier throughout the day too. If I had the money I would go for the Hoyt. But that's just my opinion. I've been a Hoyt fan for many years so I'm biased.

You do know the Hoyt has a stabilizer attached that ADDS 5-6 oz I'll guess...? Kinda big miss, but we appreciate you guys. PS. Ordered the RX7 almost 90 days ago...

Not a Hoyt or Mathews guy so I can say from an unbiased opinion that the Hoyt Carbon Defiant 34 is the coolest looking bow ever made

I own the vxr 28 and have shot the new v3x and I definitely would say 75 on the v3x feels like 65ish on my vxr and I also shot the new hoyt and for me I don't feel it's worth the extra like 600 to 700 dollars for the hoyt personally I would choose the matthews v3x the price is significantly lower allowing you to spend more money for quality accessories for the bow and still have about the same performance... and personally I don't think buying an expensive bow and having to go with lower end accessories is a great way to go put your money in the accessories a good sight and stuff and the matthews is still gonna give you about the same performance so for this one I have to go with matthews the price the quality the warranty the performance is all outstanding

The rx7 weight is without that stock stabilizer on it. Also the vibration difference alone between those 2 bows is huge. When I shot the RX7 that 70lbs felt like 65- plus literally 0 vibration on the RX7. I've shot every carbon bow besides the RX2 & RX3 and that RX7 is thee best carbon bow/ best bow ive ever test shot with only a whisker biscuit on it.

The mathews looks so much better !! If you want a carbon bow get the bow-tech "carbon icon" $1200 cheaper also!! Hoyt's price point is a joke along with quality. I own a Mathews , Obsession , Martin Bear , XI !! Only Hoyt I almost bought was the viper tech same year the switchback came out. Bought the switchback !! my favorite bow is a toss up My VXR 28 or my Obsession FX30 !! VXR has edge due to zero vibration and tune tuneability !!

Only you can make the decision , good luck

If you go with the Matthews, you can buy 3 more dozen arrows

As a guy who keeps their bows for a long time, price is a lot less of a factor. Performance and feel are the big factors for me. In cold weather, it's hard to beat the feel of carbon in the cold.

Guy in the gray hoodie is one of the guys I hunted with in Illinois haha!

@@brandonstaley1289 can't say that I did, shot both pse and Hoyt carbon bows. I personally like a little mass in my bow, sits on target better for me. Good luck with your upcoming season.

I’m a Hoyt guy, so my opinion wouldn’t be impartial. Started my bow experience with the Rx-4 then bought the Ventum and now own the Rx-7…. Need to stop! 😂 LOVE THEM ALL

My bank account hates when I watch videos like this.

The hoyt short stop stabilizer weights like .5 ounces

Hoyt RX7 Ultra then Hoyt RX7 then V3X. No slams on Matthews...but the Hoyt is a better looking bow, draw cycle is better, no hand shock. Speed no big deal. To me, after reviewing everything, it's about the bow you love more, your babe. And the Hoyt is easily the one you want to take home with you. You just love it more, want to shoot it more, want to hunt with it more.

Hoyt got some great looking bows for this year. Thanks for watching.

The hoyt was heavier than normal because it had a stabilizer on it. Im not sure how you missed that.

RX7 better all around experience, the Matthew's is sick though!

You need to change your grip and your shooting will improve. Starting with an open hand and closing it produces torque and is impossible to duplicate shot to shot.

And this is why I went with Bowtech.

I’ve owned Mathews v3’s and v3x’s and recently switched to the rx7. Why? 1) Rx7 carbon doesn’t get as cold in the hand on Idaho late season hunts. I’m an idaho resident and we get cold winters! 2) Rx7 holds better with no stabilizers then my Mathews did with back and front stabilizers so ready to hunt weight in the Rx7 is much lighter then Mathews. 3) I can pull more almost 10 lbs more draw weight on the Rx7 giving me faster arrow speeds.

If your going carbon get the levitate

Draw was horrible compared to the hoyt. Also more vibration and loved the hoyt grip went with the Ventum pro 33.

V3X all day long 🤘

Get the R x 7 Hoyt. I have the Ventum Pro 30

Hoyt carbon spider zt is the best looking bow hands down

I shot the Mathews V3X 33 and the Hoyt RX-7 Ultra, both set to 70#, 30" draw, 80% let off. For me, it was the Hoyt, hands down. The RX-7 Ultra felt incredibly dead on the shot, the pull was much more linear and smooth, and I much preferred the way the Hoyt held on the back wall. Frankly, I also preferred the look of the RX-7 Ultra riser compared to the Mathews. That said, the real deal-breaker for the Mathews was the ultra-short valley on the back wall. The Hoyt held comfortably, and I almost had to push forward to let down, whereas the Mathews kept trying to jump forward and yank my shoulder. I really disliked that, and struggled with it the entire time I was shooting the bows.

Totally agree with you! Mathews Super jumpy no way I could take that elk hunting. I think a lot of these Mathew fans are whitetail hunters that like to hunt out of a tree stand. I consider myself a pretty strong guy i lay carpet for living. And if I at all relax a little bit that bow want to hank my arm off. The Hoyt is a dream to shoot!

Go to a 80% letoff on the mathews the hump will get smaller and feel smoother i shoot the new v3x 29

Same with the Hoyt. At 80 percent it’s even smoother.

Are these bows good to use on Otters?

Get both of them they are nice

Haha that’s not a bad idea.

Man, can you say I am addicted to windows.

Get the v3x that's the same bow I been looking at

You two act surprised that Hoyt carbon weights as much as aluminum. Been going on for awhile

The Hoyt has a huge advantage over the Mathew’s when you add accessories. Shouldn’t need another stabilizer and the inline sight mount will save a few ozs
