I own this, and have owned the Solution. I've tested the other bows you have tested here on your channel (ventum 33, etc) and some other flagship models as well. The Solution and V331 IMO were the very best of the big boys for 2021. Performance (speed) is roughly the same. It's going to come down to "feel" factors- grip, mass weight, how it holds for the individual archer. Both cycle great, both are very quiet. I might give the Solution the draw cycle edge (in comfort), and give the V331 the edge in noise and lack of recoil/vibe. You cannot go wrong with either bow. Thanks for your vids. Keep 'em coming.
I’ve had mine since mid January. I love this bow. You mentioned about grouping. At the 3d shoot I went to on 4-17 I put 3 arrows inside a 50 cent piece size ring at 50 yards. I used gold tip hunter xt 340 arrows 100 grain tip and aae max stealth 4 fletch right helical vanes. I can’t say enough good things about this bow. It’s just a awesome piece
I will say, my wife and I own one of these each. Mine set at 60, and is smooth as you described. No hump. My wife's is dialed back to 50 from 60 mods, and there is a hump at that poundage. It's the darndest thing. Amazing bows though.
V3 31 was my favorite Mathews by far. However I can’t leave well enuf alone. V3X 29 ordered today. In the new granite color. The V3 31 will soon be my back up.
Have you tried it at 75lbs? I bought mine at 75lbs but they shipped wrong and it came 70lbs. I found the draw just amazing at 70lbs but it felt less smooth when the mods arrived and I got it to 75. Would love to hear another opinion on this. Great video thanks!
Just a question, you have a longer draw length like me, and wondering your thoughts on string angle? I have issues touching my nose to the string on my v3 and was wondering if you thought that was an issue for accuracy? Thanks for your input.
Hey josh, I just watched your video with Dan on peep sizes.... and now I’m and SOOOOOO conflicted now.... I have a 27.75 “ draw and I run a 1/8 raptor peep.... I had a 13/16 peep in my prime bow with my IQ sight, but when I went to my MBG pro with a x-frame mount (set to the middle hole) I had to go down because my groups where WAY to open because I could never center my peep... I had WAY to much light around my housing.... I even have a 1/8 raptor in my new 31”V3 with the fast Eddie sight with a dove tail mounted no further then my MBG on my prime bow......what could be the reason that I need such a smaller peep? I anchor in the corner of my mouth and nose.... I even run a long d-loop which should move my head further away from the peep and make me need a larger peep.
I’m in Canada and was offered this new for 1300 Canada 70 lbs 28inch real tree should I get it or spend the extra on the phase 4 I trust this Chanel more then any othwr
Great review . Would you say that the draw length is accurate (say at 30" ) or would you recommend going down 1/2 inch like on other Mathews bows due to them running long ???
If you gave a 30 inch draw I would go a half inch shorter in mods mathews run about a half inch long I needed a 29 inch mod to get to my 29.5 inch draw came in a little under 29.5
I order d a V3 31 two months ago, paid in full, then bills came up, I only have money for one flagship bow and my budget is shot for accessories. I can put my old bows accessories, that are from 2005, biscuit and some trophy ridge sight. I don’t know if I should try to keep the V3 order or wait until the winter for a new Mathews model, when I should have the money for an entire setup, trinity rest and black gold sight.
Can u test all bows using the same rest and let offs so we can compare the relative speeds of each bow brand. Ive noticed some bows are equipped with Whisker Biscuits but this Mathews is shot with a Hamsky. You should show actual DW,DL n let off of each bow u test using the same rest.
Mathews, like competiting manufacturers including Hoyt with new products in demand, is experiencing or has experienced delays in some areas of the country due to the pandemic.
I shot the bowtech solution ss and it had more shock in the hand,..That being said I think he was trying to sell me on the expedition which felt the same as the bowtech.
Nice getting the reviews out. You have a good point of view..I just shot the v3 at my archery club. And it rubbed my thumb. That's my I like my BOWTECH.
Same but I'm 28.5 dl on the v3 27. Everyone seems to think its smooth but I think it stacks pretty bad then dumps in at the end. Kinda wish I would've gone 31, oh well
Would you prefer the revolt x over the V3. Which has the easier draw cycle? Any difference? I am asking because I have been told the revolt x is way easier to pul back and hold, just wanted to ask someone who knows and not some JOE BLOW.
@@32LaurenLane I own both the VXR and the RevoltX. However my VXR is 70lbs the RevoltX is 57lbs. I shoot the RevoltX on performance. If I were to set it on comfort that's a more moderate draw cycle. The answer to your question is subjective. The RevoltX has a higher brace height plus u can change the draw cycle
I just didn't like the way the v3 felt in my hand. I had a choice between it and a VXR31.5 or 28 and the VXR 31.5 just felt so much nicer on the backwall for me. I also felt like that v3 was heavy as heck compared to the VXR even though the weight difference is not that much. But that is how it felt for me. I am also extremely new to archery. I upgraded from a Hoyt Powermax.
I’m happy to know that my torrex xt is as good and as fast as flagship bow thank you for clearing people minds I am little disappointed that ventum and RX-5 are down on speed for the price you paying
@@mustang268 i have hoyt axius ultra and pse xpedite and both are 28.5" , so i have try v3 with same dl and ....to long , 28 was right mode according to Mathews!!! So 330 fps is not honest speed . His biast , look on all team ( they all have mathews )

Really like hearing reviews from the perspective of someone who sounds more engineer than marketing major.
I heard that there Mathews V3 Shoots REAL NICE 🤘😊 - Tim

Can’t wait to get mine! Too bad I’m in MN, but would be awesome to get that virtual session! Congrats on continued success!
JJ appreciate all you do buddy. I know your busy but keep up the good work your amazing.
Yes great bow. Just purchased bout 1 month ago. 57lbs and it's fast and quiet. But i seem to have a small hump at break over point. Great review!

You are truly Robin Hood
Great review. My only complaint with Mathews is that the one I ordered is not in yet. It will be worth the wait
Still rocking with mine in 2024!!
Mathews bows just rock. Year after year they never disappoint. It’s the brand all others strive to catch, but never quite get there.
I will say, my wife and I own one of these each. Mine set at 60, and is smooth as you described. No hump.
My wife's is dialed back to 50 from 60 mods, and there is a hump at that poundage. It's the darndest thing. Amazing bows though.
It's always a GREAT day when MFJJ is on!
V3 31 was my favorite Mathews by far.
However I can’t leave well enuf alone.
V3X 29 ordered today.
In the new granite color.
The V3 31 will soon be my back up.
Spot on about thumb knuckle rubbing on the top of grip but man is this bow a shooter !!!
Thank you for the great review! Too short or string too sharp for a 31” draw?
I love it!! I’ll take it to go!
You should test the Bear Redemption Eko. Looking at one and I hear really good things
You measured the brace off the grip, should be off the bare riser in which it would be exactly 6”.
Have you tried it at 75lbs? I bought mine at 75lbs but they shipped wrong and it came 70lbs. I found the draw just amazing at 70lbs but it felt less smooth when the mods arrived and I got it to 75. Would love to hear another opinion on this. Great video thanks!
Not sure if you're a 30" draw, did the 30" mod seem long or was it ok?
Just a question, you have a longer draw length like me, and wondering your thoughts on string angle? I have issues touching my nose to the string on my v3 and was wondering if you thought that was an issue for accuracy? Thanks for your input.
Can you do a video on Mathew Top Hat and tuning thanks !!!!!
Is the riser different on the 31 from the new 33, or is it just an ata differenc?

Can we get a speed test with 80% let off
Stilll waiting on my black V3 since late December..😡😡😡😡 any one else have a big delay?
Great review . Would you say that the draw length is accurate (say at 30" ) or would you recommend going down 1/2 inch like on other Mathews bows due to them running long ???
I’d say that the draw lengths runs a little long, but not a full 1/2 inch, so I would not go any shorter.
If you gave a 30 inch draw I would go a half inch shorter in mods mathews run about a half inch long I needed a 29 inch mod to get to my 29.5 inch draw came in a little under 29.5
thanks
Buying a bow is the hardest decision ever. I live in eugene local to bowtech and the bow rack and i cant decide what to get
I order d a V3 31 two months ago, paid in full, then bills came up, I only have money for one flagship bow and my budget is shot for accessories. I can put my old bows accessories, that are from 2005, biscuit and some trophy ridge sight.

Great things come to those who wait
did you ever test the 80% mods
Can u test all bows using the same rest and let offs so we can compare the relative speeds of each bow brand. Ive noticed some bows are equipped with Whisker Biscuits but this Mathews is shot with a Hamsky. You should show actual DW,DL n let off of each bow u test using the same rest.
I bet if you throw that bow on a draw board it measures well over 30" AMO draw length. That's going to account for a fair bit of speed.
Can you use a hamskea trinity pro on this with that cable rod
Hmm, I have another 4-6 weeks on my Hoyt Ventum 33 I ordered in January. Maybe I need to take a closer look at the Mathews.....
Mathews, like competiting manufacturers including Hoyt with new products in demand, is experiencing or has experienced delays in some areas of the country due to the pandemic.
@@livingadreamlife1428 true I had to wait 4 to 6 weeks before the pandemic was even a thing so I can just imagine the wait times now

Nice getting the reviews out. You have a good point of view..I just shot the v3 at my archery club. And it rubbed my thumb. That's my I like my BOWTECH.
I would have been interested to see if you pumped the poundage back to stock to see what the speeds would have been
2-4 fps more
@@mustang268
Thanks
Scale set on kilos huh??? Lol. Good review bud
Maybe its me with my 27 dl and the v3 27. But the draw seems harsh right out of the gate then slams me into the valley
Same but I'm 28.5 dl on the v3 27. Everyone seems to think its smooth but I think it stacks pretty bad then dumps in at the end. Kinda wish I would've gone 31, oh well
Following up on this- 80% mod gained 3 fps over 85%, 29" @ 70# V3 31.
Wow.
Only 3fps faster?
Now we’re talking...
I need to buy u lunch any1 els hear thay stomach growl lol. Love the videos
Try out the pse expidite
7:34?

MFJJ gotta do a PSE EVL next
Already did it. Second one we did or 3rd
MFJJ is the real deal.
You check all stats like BH, ATA,DW but DL you trust producers??? Amator
There's always that one d***head out there that has to put a thumbs down!!!
Hoooo " fastest youve tested " , no biast etc??? How about every DL is 0,5" to long compare to others bows? Guy like you knows that...should know
we are testing these bows off what we are sent. we will be doing more in depth testing here soon. such as real draw length comparing brands.
It literally says first look not in depth review
Most guys that also watch these reviews probably know that also plus it's just a first glance look
@@mustang268 First look? He give weight, dw, ATA, speed etc so dl is so depth review????
@@mustang268 i have hoyt axius ultra and pse xpedite and both are 28.5" , so i have try v3 with same dl and ....to long , 28 was right mode according to Mathews!!! So 330 fps is not honest speed . His biast , look on all team ( they all have mathews )
