Thanks for the solid review of our Xlite 31! 🤙 We appreciate you embracing the hard work, effort and potential of our hardworking team in Iowa. Much love, man! Keep up the great reviews.
Thanks for the comment, we would love to get a budget catergory bow in here form expedition. Reached out to a gentleman named hunter but never heard back. Really loved this bow
This bow has endless possibilities in my opinion. Love your videos man! One of the best, underrated channels! Would love to cross paths one day my dude!
@@BackyardBows the new Martins look kinda like a Mathews? What do you think? And they are reasonably priced, so idk I like that new Mtx 29 or the 33 pro
Thank you so much for this review. I've been waiting for months for this!!😂 And it may be the only real review out there in the wild on UA-cam for an Xlite
Another one from the best bow reviewer in youtube!! Because of you, I bought the new ss34 this year. I absolutely love the bow. Inhave nothing bad to say about it. I'm shooting 2 inch groups at 60 yards. The best shooting I've ever had. Keep em coming!
Haven't paid attention to anybody in the industry in years. You're the second review I've watched of the bow and gave me the information i was looking for to pull the trigger. I've shot xpedition since they're release and I keep coming back to them. Definitely subscribed and looking forward to catching more of your content.
Seriously man, I say it every time but very entertaining! I actually bought the Bear whitetail legend pro based off of your review alone and it has treated me very well! So thanks for the info and the entertainment!
@Wisconsin_xpedition_hunter The lift is faster. The lift does have a 6" brace height verse a 6.5. So, the draw cycle goes to the xpedition. Overall, both are great bows. I shoot both side by side every day after work and still can't decide which one I like best.
Thanks Chris. Speed must be close especially for a whitetail situation. I’ve loved my X30 but might sell and get either the xlite 31 or the lift. That is the 2 I am between.
Shot one of these at Total Archery Challenge, awesome shooting bow. The only thing holding me back was the price point. Other than that, incredible bow, would own in a heart beat if money wasn't restricted
Awesome review! Please start shooting a 350 grain arrow in your lineup. Apples to apples! It’s the only way I can tell what that bow really does. 440, 500, 550, those are all great, but they don’t mean anything to me. 350 is the standard. Please please please! Add that, if you get the best review on UA-cam.
That is a great bow i loved the smoke. But if you want to spend the money on a bow. Its your Wright. I love bows and bow hunting. Great too see they up there game. Great review like always brother
🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️that was me!!! Sorry brother!! But this is the only review out there & this bow was supposed to come out in December. I'm not a fan of a stiff draw upfront. I should be because hunting in a saddle, I think that's the best draw- hard upfront & easy on back end . I saw that edge chatter on machining. This is a very very good bow. I've seen some long time bow enthusiasts just rave over it. I don't have 2k, but if I did, I probably would buy it. Now I'm slinging arrows with Xscape & waiting to get my Smoke back(new strings & new limbs.) Yeah fellas I'm the SHANE that annoyed the shit out of him 😂 Annoy him & you"ll get a shoutout lol jkjk
@@BackyardBows I know brother!!! I've shot almost all flagship bows & to me, Xpedition nails it on combo of smoothness & speed. If that Smoke wasn't jumpy at full draw, it would be the ultimate draw cycle. Also I would've loved to seen the Xlite hit the 280's but 274ish not bad.
I might just save for one of thos Xlites more ive watched few of these reveiews screw it!! I just do not know wat one yet.. Live that Riser on this one alot..
I tried the XLite 33 at TAC Seven Springs. Definitely felt nice and the draw cycle at 70 pounds was smooth, and didn't feel much higher than my 62# PSE Evolve 35 with Fast Low Letoff modules (which is fairly aggressive). Is it worth $2000? That's a tough call. I'd buy one used, though.
I think u sold me on Exoidition... I cannot afford new one struggling vet sone nedical issues....y Question is What one u recommend if I can find a used Expidition? I Like tgat speed and extra power I like to shoot 125-150 grain broadheads and live my Extreme pass tgrough arrows... I like that extra speed power cause i Sling arrows that flat break bones apart... Ive seen alot of used expidition facebook market anywhere from 350$ish - To 7 hun maybe 800 decked out... I like that speed bow but that stability incse he turns(buck) or watever... Throw me down some expidition ideas on a used speed/stable but have that stability and just feels solid..
A few weeks ago, I was at the Rinehart R100, and Xpedition had a tent there. I shot the 31" and 33" bows. Hands down the lightest bow I've ever shot. The draw cycle was nice, not buttery smooth and not speed bow rough, just nice. The grip is a little weird but not bad. The shot was a different story. On release the bow wanted to launch itself forward and the felt vibration was considerable. Now these were bare bows I was shooting, but when do you ever test shoot a fully rigged bow in a shop, never. The bow is a looker for sure, but for the $2000 price tag, no thank you. They might be a bit heavier, but I believe most of the flagship bows are better, hands down, for $500-$900 less.
Nice review mate and nice bow but unfortunately xpedition bows need to make DL longer plus they need to make a longer ATA bow with DL out to 33” , I was keen to buy a xpedition bow but they don’t have any bows in a 35 ATA no DL out to 32
I know speed isn't everything but for 2 Gs I would want something more like 345-350 ibo speed . This is way above my pay grade. I shoot an obsession fx30 365 ibo has a great draw cycle and great speed.
yes tks, Im old man but you job is good here :) this bow is hard price :( but is special hunting must and you must too :) my force not good child ten = slime my bow is correct for me soldier bowtech old 2011 25/45 pound for me 35# is cool arrow 28" near 320gr carbon near 250f/s :) but no aid for for gun = no stop string, no pound socks egal, no sight, no cable spacer :) 15/27 yards :) just joy!
You can see machining chatter in the inside corners of the riser, that a joke for 2k, they at least should have tried to fill or sand them out before finishing...
I'm an Xpedition fan & I totally agree. I'm a fan of their bows, not the way they do business. Some of their bows are an excellent combo of speed, smoothness & able to hold on target. But totally agree with you on this riser not being impeccable for $2k
2k for an xpedition bow, not a shot in hell, to risky, they have had way too many operations issues in their relatively short life on the market. Besides you can get a bad ass carbon for 400 less lol. 😂. .
Definitely a miss for them imo. No real dealer support and a company barely hanging on. Should have brought something more accessible. Plus value wise is gunna only be a quarter of what you pay for it. You practically give used xpeditions away.

You should try out a Martin Archery bow, nobody has a review on a new one you would be the only one
Martin/ Obsession is next on my list
@@BackyardBows the new Martins look kinda like a Mathews? What do you think? And they are reasonably priced, so idk I like that new Mtx 29 or the 33 pro
I agree. This channel needs WAAAAAY more subscribers. Archers are getting snobby, this guy brings back the humility in it
Just recently found your videos, but find them very helpful getting back into bow shooting and hunting on a budget. Thanks
Thank you so much for this review. I've been waiting for months for this!!😂 And it may be the only real review out there in the wild on UA-cam for an Xlite
It is only real review. Others are real short & don't say much

Have you had any issues with the servings getting rubbed out by the cable Guard
Just when i think I know what bow I'm gonna buy, you come out with another awesome review on a sick bow. Awesome work man!
Nice!! Interested in these Xpedition bows! Thanks for your reviews!

Thanks for the comment love to hear it, Looking forward to more from Xpedition myself
Hey! Great review, been looking for reviews on this bow. Nice touch with the word graphics.👍🏾
Seriously man, I say it every time but very entertaining! I actually bought the Bear whitetail legend pro based off of your review alone and it has treated me very well! So thanks for the info and the entertainment!
Appreciate the feedback
Absolutely love all of your reviews!
Just pick up a a 31. It weights less and has less feedback than my Mathews lift. Additionally, costed less also😊
How is the speed comparison of the lift and xlite 31? Along with other things?
@Wisconsin_xpedition_hunter The lift is faster. The lift does have a 6" brace height verse a 6.5. So, the draw cycle goes to the xpedition. Overall, both are great bows. I shoot both side by side every day after work and still can't decide which one I like best.

Dude, I’ve been hoping someone would review this bow
Hey great review
After seeing your review i went to my guys bow shop and shot the xlite 33 and it was awesome
Mine is on its way lol.
Thanks brother
That bow looks like every bow brand on the market had a baby together!!!😂
😆
Would love to see your review of the Mathews TXR 34. Seems to be a great do-it-all bow but don't see many reviews on it.
Shot one of these at Total Archery Challenge, awesome shooting bow. The only thing holding me back was the price point. Other than that, incredible bow, would own in a heart beat if money wasn't restricted

Add that, if you get the best review on UA-cam.
To sketchy I wouldn’t load up a 350 grain arrow, 30 inches at 70lbs need to be a controlled situation, prolly not the best for the bow either
Awesome reviews as always ! Which bow do you prefer the Xlite 31 or the Apa Mamba 31 ? THANK YOU ! Excellent work !!
Thanks for the review! If you get a chance shoot an Xpedition MX-16 352IBO or a DLX smooth comfortable & fast
Oh & I was surprised that they changed from GAS to ABB strings.

They did some magnite bows already...x30 and x33... I'm pretty sure
Could you do a throwback video on the Xpedition Mako X? Seems really underrated. I rather love this bow and it’s advertised at 364 IBO speed
I have had that bow on my timeless list for forever
@@BackyardBows oh my I’m so sorry I’m going to have a look

We love this kind of feedback! We have lofty goals for the future at Xpedition... stay tuned, buddy! 😉
My 2012 Mathew’s heli m is 3.5 lb ,70 lbs ,355 gr arrow rolling 325fps ! And yes it’s aluminum and I’ll bet mine is smoother ! Just saying !
I know it is I have one 😂
@@BackyardBows I wish they would bring back the single cam platform , mine is just a killing machine !
I know speed isn't everything but for 2 Gs I would want something more like 345-350 ibo speed . This is way above my pay grade. I shoot an obsession fx30 365 ibo has a great draw cycle and great speed.
Will have a couple obsessions in soon
Except obsession can't even come close to thier ibo speed unless somethings changed
@@50magz I have the fx30 28in 400 grain and 315fps
We can't do it all at once! We hear you, though 😉

For 2000 bucks there better be a free hunt included with it.
😂
Are all parts xloy material cams, pockets, string stop?
Just the riser..
@backyard12 ok
You can see machining chatter in the inside corners of the riser, that a joke for 2k, they at least should have tried to fill or sand them out before finishing...
I thought the same thing, finish could be a little cleaner if I were splitting hairs, don’t know the finishing process on this type of material.
Is it magnesium?
@@CentralFloridaBowHuntingmagnesium alloy
I'm an Xpedition fan & I totally agree. I'm a fan of their bows, not the way they do business. Some of their bows are an excellent combo of speed, smoothness & able to hold on target. But totally agree with you on this riser not being impeccable for $2k
2k for a lesser name brand bow? That's wild
.5 lighter then the mathews creed
Can you please add a "made in America" point.
2k for an xpedition bow, not a shot in hell, to risky, they have had way too many operations issues in their relatively short life on the market. Besides you can get a bad ass carbon for 400 less lol. 😂. .
Definitely a miss for them imo. No real dealer support and a company barely hanging on. Should have brought something more accessible. Plus value wise is gunna only be a quarter of what you pay for it. You practically give used xpeditions away.
Give us another year or two... we hope to have earned your respect back.
Do you see the big 3 going lighter because of this bow Mathews , Hoyt and pse
No unless Mathew’s makes a carbon bow
@@BackyardBows I been waiting for that for years !!! I heard they will never do it for whatever reason
