Hoyt Carbon RX3 Ultra Vs. Mathews Traverse Bow Battle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- What do you look for when buying a new bow? We thought we would do some head to head battles with some of the new bows on the market for 2019 and test them against one another. The first matchup pits the Hoyt Carbon RX3 Ultra against the Mathews Travers. We'll test each on draw cycle, valley, back wall, hand shock, quietness, and speed to find out which one we think is the winner. The tests are done based on our opinion only.

I did the same compariosn of the 2 bows and came up with the same conclusions...Mathews Traverse is on order! Great review!
Thank you. The Traverse is a fun bow to shoot.
Great comparison video . Someone that actually takes time and gives each competitor a equally and fair chance.
john johnson thank you for the great compliment.
Loved this review. When I bought my traverse, the shop tried desperately to get me to buy an RX3, but in my opinion there was no comparison. Traverse was so smooth and quiet with solid back wall and no vibration at all in the hand. Just felt like an extension of my arm. I couldn’t be happier. Your review is spot on. I really enjoy your videos. Keep em coming!
Toby Arnold thank you. Glad you’re enjoying the videos
Great review! I would love to see a comparison between the Mathews Vertix and the Prime CT3.
Great work Michael !
Joaquin Capelle I can add that matchup to the list.
Mathews will eat the prime up.
@Pacific Northwest Nomad Give aways soon!!! who is coping Mathews. All only Martin bow company.
Great review. Did not like the banjo string sound at the end of the draw cycle on the Matthews. It did look a bit more notchy on the draw cycle in the frontal view. The Hoyt seems like it's a bit louder but imo they've always seemed just a little louder than most top of the line bows. Even in the carbon configuration they just seem loud.
I wouldn't pay the price that any bow manufacturer is asking for their top of the line flagship bow. Me personally I usually wait until they've been on the market a year or two then buy some other fanboys throw away for the latest and greatest gimmick and save a ton of money.
Sammy Hughes thank you. Both are great bows along with a few others I’ve shot this year. It really comes down to a person shooting all the bows within their budget before making a decision. The bows are really getting that close and the details are minor that separate each one. Appreciate the comment.
Definitely going to look at the Traverse when I go to Dead On Archery next time. I was impressed with the Vertix but I like the longer Axle for balance on the Traverse
Very nice review. Seems Mathews is getting it done at the shop. Thanks for your effort to help people
Aaron Martins Thank you for watching the video and take them in time to leave a comment
Excellent review! Probably the best I've seen for the 2019's. Keep up the good work.
Mike Oxley wow! Thank you for the great compliment and thank you for watching.
Great video! Very useful and informative! Can't wait to see the next one.
Dan Hamar thank you
Thank you for a great video. I love the fact you are shooting real world hunting set ups, showing real world speed and not trying for the trumped up speeds that the companies claim. All this speed talk and who's bow is fastest needs to stop. To many guys buy a bow based on its speed and not how it shoots. When I started in the early 80's, speed was never really given on a bow. I shot Hoyt bows for 20 years and have switched back to Mathews and love my Triax. Keep up with the videos.
Rich Valentine thank you. You and I started our journey with archery in the same time frame. It was 1985 for me and it was with a Bear 45# takedown recurve. We’ve come a long way since then.
Haha just got done with watching Q&A from Wednesday. Great timing!
I love these reviews. Great work
Matthew Warren thank you
Just bought Hoyt rx3 ultra. Got my first buck with couple weeks ago. It’s great bow
Pacific Northwest Nomad Give aways soon!!! It was $1599 get it right.
And where I live it's $2099 what a fucking joke
Even as a Mathews guy, I figured the Hoyt would win, but a welcomed surprise. Thanks for a great review and as a new subscriber I look forward to more of your content!
Jeremy Stimac thank you for watching and subscribing
Really good and thorough review thank you! Don't listen to all the negative dicks on here also! This match up was spot on and really gave some much needed love to the Traverse as it's shorter brother (Vertix) is what all the videos seem to be about. Cheers!
Jeremy Lee thank you so much for the positive feedback
the sound given off the back stop is louder than the bows
Great job on this comparison! In my opinion Mathews and Hoyt are the top two bow manufacturers out there. I really feel you couldn’t go wrong with either one of these bows. With that being said, there really is something special about the quietness and no vibration of the Mathews. I also really think highly of the Hoyt grip, great feel. Take care!
Chad Walker thank you
Pacific Northwest Nomad Give aways soon!!! That’s the beauty of variety and personal preference!
Excellent review. The sound comparison was a "washout" in the review because the arrow impact was too close to the arrow release and overpowered the noise of the bow. I could not discern any sound difference.
Ross Ragan thank you
Maybe the Helix ultra would have been a better choice because that one is aluminium and way more similiar to the mathews, and i would love to see these bows going at the max so 80 pounds 32 inch draw :). but eh
Why so the Mathews could kick its ass too? Carbon only made a difference in dampening and sound. Other then that it makes no difference .
The carbon bows for Hoyt are actually louder and have more vibration then the aluminum Hoyt’s.
I compared the Hoyt Helix Ultra to the Mathews Traverse yesterday in my local archery shop. I was amazed with the Traverse. The draw cycles are very similar, almost identical on these bows. All the weight is up front, it levels out then tapers off into your valley and the back walls are both very good. The grip on the new Mathews bows is terrific. I didn't like the grip Hoyt as much and the vibration felt after the shot was WAY more than the Traverse. They both shot well, but we also put them both through the chrono and the Mathews was around 5 FPS faster at my 30" draw on both bows set at 70 lbs. I love the ability to customize the Mathews so heavily with their online bow customizer. The Mathews held better on target, felt better in hand, vibrated less and costed less. I am in no way a Mathews fanboy but this Traverse is extremely underrated when the Vertix is getting all the attention and marketing. If you are someone with a longer draw length or just like a longer axle to axle bow, try the Traverse, you'll have a hard time not throwing your money at them.
Well I am glad I shoot a Prime but I just went and shot a tuned with a whisker Biscuit at 29 inch DL 70 lbs on the nose Hoyt RX 3 2.1 Cam now the 1st arrow 453 grains and a 442 grain arrow both were surprisingly faster then said in video the RX Ultra shot the 453 grain arrow an average of 279 fps the average for the 442 grain arrow is 285 fps. Now for those that are going to shoot the number 3 Cam it was an average of 10 fps slower so the 3 Cam disappointed us at the local shop as where the number 2 Cam shot smooth and the grip was good as well as the draw but for me a 442 or a 453 grain arrow out of a bow in this configuration will get the job done as for vibration just a hint nothing that would cause any issues down the road or on the line or in the field Hoyt made a good bow here as far as the draw and shot on this bow remember shoot a bow towards its max dL and you will get more speed
How to make this better: All bows set at same poundage. Get actual decible readings. Get Actual FPS. Edit tighter. Shoot groups at 30/40 meters. Which one shoots best for you. Watch Paul Harrel videos on shooting guns, etc. Always excellent.
L. S. Thank you watching and commenting. The bows were set to same poundage and verified with the same scale. I agree about the decimal meter and have that in place for the videos we have coming next. I could do a camera angle of the target instead of the second camera angle I did in this video. Appreciate the input.
Great review thank goodness I went with a Prime CT5 as my bow for 2019 I see this and just bought another CT5
The Realm SS and the SR are smooth as glass. Shot them a couple of weeks ago. The SR is faster but just as smooth as the SS and the SR will blow the doors off of any of the two bows you just saw. Botech is a great product and I've got no complaints.
nucsol I’m very familiar with Bowtech and used to be a factory shooter for them. We also have head to head battles coming up that feature the Realm SS and SR vs other bows.
@@ElkCallingAcademy
Awesome! I shoot at a place called G4 Archery in Hillsboro Oregon. It's a custom shop where I get the good fortune of shooting allot of different bows. They sell Botech's like popcorn, can't keep the carbon fiber in stock.
I shot the new Elite and went right back to the SR. So did the other two shooters I was with.
nucsol I’m familiar with G4. Shooting all the bows within a persons price range is really the best way to find what bow fits them the best. This head to head video series is about matching bows with similar specs and providing that info to help people with a starting point of selecting a new bow. Plus, it’s a good excuse for me to play with a lot of different bows.
Exactly. Like a kid in a candy store and I don't have enough good things to say about G4. They're very kind and very patient. They virtually rebuilt the Parker and give me honest assessments of their findings.
Great review
Cale Turner thank you
Those tags hangin from the hoyt aren’t quiet I guarantee it
Jeffrey D I know they added to the noise. I should have removed them and have done so on the rest of the match ups.
Makes no difference compared to a Mathews. Mathews are dead in the hand and there is no noise No bow compares.
The Helix Ultra is the best Hoyt bow I’ve ever shot. Better than the RX1, RX3, all of them. Never been a Hoyt guy but that Helix is sweet
I haven't shot the Helix yet but plan to.
Just curious does Matthew's do any torture testing? Because supposedly Hoyt carbon bows go through some of the most brutal torture testing there is.Just curious..
Lucas Byler I know each Manufacturer does a series of testing of their bows, but I can’t say for sure what each company does.
The most accurate, toughest, dependable bows you can buy. That's all Hoyt ever said forever. And it holds true bud. A lot to be said for any other companies. When things go bad you are usually left with a big expensive mess
Great review, the Mathews Traverse will be my next bow that I will purchase!!!!! It's a shooter!
Brian Mcfaddin thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video and I’m confident that you’re going to live shooting the Traverse.
I'm liking these comparison reviews. I appreciate you doing this. Great info for all of us.
down stream thank you for watching. I’m having a lot of fun doing these and it’s a great excuse to play with all the new bows.
Can I add my 2 cents worth as a women... I have a Mathew's bow and I LOVE it. I shoot left handed, don't ask a right handed person why, but I do. I've tried many other bows and for me, Mathew's is just right.
Sue Robinson thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Neither one of these are probably on my list, but curious when picking a winner and giving attributes why no mention of physical weight in the deciding factor? I am just curious since you have to pack them all day on a hunt. When hiking 12-15 miles a day over a half pound makes a difference. Thank you for the review!
Brandon Howren thank you for watching. I did forget to mention the weight when doing the final scene and that is my error. But, I do prefer a bow that has a little more weight to it as for me it hold steadier, especially in the wind. Loads of people will start with a light bow and then add weight to the stabilizer to get the bow to hold better. Why not just start with a bow that already has that little extra weight and not add said weight to the stabilizer. I appreciate you commenting and I will be sure to address the weight bow in the head to head reviews we have coming up.
Difficult to test bows in Norway, so good information
Espen Skogdal thank you for watching
That must make it tough to get bows. How do you guys go about getting bows and components?
I'd like to see the new Realm line compared. How much difference is there really in the SS & SR6?
Jonathan Rush I’m filming all this week with the Realm SR6 & SS along with the Mathews Vertix and the Prime CT3 & CT5
The helix is hands down better than the rx3. You need to do this review again with the helix ultra.
Gritty Grizzly I agree with you, the helix is sweet
Did you put both bows on the scale to see what poundage they were actually drawing? Also, did you check actual draw length on a draw board? Mathews likes to run ~1/2” long. Might be closer in speed if all things were equal. Great review though! Appreciate you posting this! Very interested in the Traverse.
ILBowHunt 7 thank you for watching and commenting. Yes, we used all we could to ensure we were comparing apples to apples. It’s the only way these comparisons can be fair and unbiased.
Thanks for the response, good stuff. How about the valleys on these two bows- I’m curious how they compare if you have to let down your draw?
ILBowHunt 7 the valleys were about even on these two. I will be sure to show that in future videos as well. Thank you for bringing up some good points that will help make future videos better.
Actually, I've talks with four owners of the Traverse and all stated their DL are coming in exactly per the mod. When I shot one alongside my Halon 32, both with 28-1/2 mods, the Traverse drew noticeably shorted.
..."shorter"
Can’t argue with facts
If you watch the shot during the sound test you torque the rx3 on release? This is something I noticed when I shot this bow. I think it's caused by the grip? I can't wait for my Traverse to get here!👍
Jace G thank you for watching. I’ll have to go back and watch to see if there was some torque.
My Traverse showed up yesterday took 8 weeks. It's amazing!!!!! Have fun.
That's funny , my 2006 hoyt Vulcan shoots faster than both those 2019 bows , I think I'll keep what I have , awesome review , was thinking about a new bow until I watched this
Steven Wiseman thank you for watching. We do have other reviews like this coming up.
Thank you all your awesome work you for us
are those both hanging by the cam? the mathews is equal or longer than the hoyt with the bigger cams, the mathews felt great to me at 30-31" and i bought one
Tim Cool Prodigy Outdoors thank you for watching. The bows are actually hanging by the limbs.
@@ElkCallingAcademy either way, same point of contact essentially. very interesting, as i said below. im a hoyt guy but ive got a mathews traverse and the $600 left over is going towards a sig sauer lol
Tim Cool Prodigy Outdoors I like the thought process there.
Thoughts on putting obsession against bowtec? Those are the two I'm trying to decide on. Upgrading from a 2014 strother wrath which I absolutely love
Shaun Alexander I plan to review both of those
Obsession bows are all overrated they don't come close to meeting there specs ratings, Also they are ugly and look like something china would make.
Great video. Really interested in the Traverse. I do not understand why guys buy Hoyts for $600 more, when they are proven to be louder, slower, and with more vibration. By the way, I used to shoot Hoyt.
Steve thank you. The Traverse really impressed me.
If you really want to shed 0.6 lbs then the Hoyt makes sense. I had similar conclusions last year between the halon 32 and RX-1. I couldn’t justify a higher priced bow that was inferior so I got the halon 32.
That said I was bummed the triax technology wasn’t on a longer bow. It was crazy dead in the hand. So this year.... I am purchasing a traverse. Wasn’t planning on another bow purchase this quickly but the traverse was the bow I wish I could have purchased last year. That’s how impressive these new Mathews bows are.
I agree with Steve. Shot the Traverse and loved it. I purchased two Triax's last year. tested every other bow in the same category except the PSE. Nothing compaired to the Triax. Tried the PSE and the Traverse the other night. The Traverse won. It will be my next bow purchase
Any chance you can get your hands on a new Athens ridge 32/34 for a head to head challenge? I know you will be pleasantly surprised
Ryan Clark I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks ~~
Great review. I wish I could shoot them all. I just ordered a Prime CT-5 and look forward to head to head comparison.
Ted Bear79 thank you for watching and commenting.
I'd like to hear your opinion on the Realm SS
Jaris Neilson I’m actually doing a head to head of the Bowtech Realm SS vs the Mathews Verdict
If you are going to spend the money, you be best served by the SR because it's the same bow with better cams. Price point is not that significant. Both are outstanding bows but the SR will smoke just about any bow on the market.
I currently shoot an old Parker Phoenix 34 and I am still amazed at what a great bow it is.
My new bow will be the Botech SR, it's the last bow I'll need for another ten years lol
I'm more interested in comfort than speed. My shoulders would appreciate a smoother bow.
When is the vertix and realm ss video coming out?
Whats yr opinion on the new PSE brute force light 70 pound 332 fps i just baught one
Brian Haumont sr I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet and I do have it on the list to test.
How to buy in india
Few things. First on the speed test. It's fairly well known Mathews runs 1/2 inch or more long on draw lengths so that's about 5fps there. Also was the Hoyt a number 2 cam or number 3? I would think a number 2 cam at 29 inches would be right in that 275-280fps range. Also I think it woulda of been a lot better comparison if it was the Helix ultra and the traverse. On tunabilty the Hoyt is easier to tune than the Mathews. Much easier to twist cables than to shim cams. I do think the Mathews is a nice bow. But they are top heavy and just don't fit me. The Hoyt is much lighter an balances better for me.
Lee Lathrop thank you for watching and commenting with your preferences. I prefer a little heavier bow and that played into my decision. Both are great bows and honesty people need to shoot both before deciding one way or another. I’ve heard several time that it should have been the Helix instead on the matchup but everyone continues to miss that I was asked by followers and subscribers to match these two up. Specs are very close with weight and price being the two areas that have the largest separation between the two. We all have the right to our opinions as well as features we like in a bow. The separation between ALL Bow companies have narrowed dramatically and there are a lot of great bows out on the market today.
Was it a number two cam or number three, it does make a big difference on the speed.
The point Lee lathrop is making is that your bow review was inaccurate. First of all the cams on the Hoyt should have been the #2 cams and that would add about 10-15 FPS for your speed test and secondly you should have had the Hoyt drawing 29.5 adding an additional 5 FPS to your speed test....all this being said you are now being asked to make a more accurate video between the helix ultra and the teaverse. The Hoyt carbon bows are a joke and not even a real close comparison. For the best comparison between these bows you would go with the helix ultra. I would bet you would have a different conclusion if you did.
Gritty Grizzly I appreciate the comment but again the point is being missed that I was asked to compare this specific matchup. I also trust the tech that sets up all the bows to make sure that everything is set up as close to identical as possible. Yes the Mathews was an 1/8” long. And yes, I have been asked to do the Helix Ultra vs Traverse matchup. We are also talking about personal preference in what each of us like in a bow and I can tell that you really a fan of Hoyt and there nothing wrong with that as we all have different likes and things that we look for in a bow. I will get the Helix Ultra vs Traverse video done as soon as I can.
I have no bias between the Mathews or the Hoyt. I want to get a longer ata bow and the two best options in my opinion are the helix ultra or traverse. I just want to see an accurate review that isn’t focused on the carbon craze that so many people have bought into. The carbon bows are being sold as a premium bow when they are actually inferior to their aluminum counterparts(this is an example of personal preference).
I hate that there are so many reviews of the RX3 Ultra in the number 3 cam and not the 2! You have to use the 2 cam when testing 30 inches and under in draw length. In this video, you can clearly see that the cam isn't being fully utilised. Inside out precision has a much better video. Reviewers should stop putting misleading information out there.
Gary Miller thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
I do like your videos, and I've watched all your bow review videos and plan to watch more in the future. I do agree the traverse is an all around better bow. That being said I still bought the RX3 Ultra. I live in New York and aluminum kills my hands in December and January and I hate the new Mathews grip shape. All I ask on the videos is to give all the information on a bow. Your not the only reviewer that has made the RX3 Ultra look slow. Garrett Weaver has done the same thing. From other videos I've seen. The RX3 Ultra with the #2 cam out performed the traverse even though the traverse has a higher ibo. Sorry for the rant. Keep the videos coming!
Gary Miller I appreciate the feedback. I use it as guidance to make better quality videos so to me it is important to hear from everyone that cares to comment. These were my first ever bow comparison videos and I have learned quite a bit. I’m filing the Traverse vs The Helix Ultra this weekend and I plan to put both bows on a draw board and provide that exact draw length in the video. It will be a number 2 cam on the Helix Ultra. I already put both bows on the scale to make sure the draw weights are matched and I will do the decibel meter test outside. Thank you for the support and feel free to let me know anytime if you see areas where I can improve the videos I’m producing.
I appreciate you for taking the time to get back to me and I'm looking forward to the Helix vs Traverse video
A $1700 bow gets blown away in all categories. I would never spend my money on a hoyt.
im a hoyt guy and i bought a traverse lol
I didn't even bat an eye at the price for my RX3 Turbo. One of the best bows I've shot.
@@prodigyoutdoors so did I lol
This isn't a fair comparison when it comes to price. I'm not towing the line for either company, but the Hoyt is an entire pound lighter than the Mathews (that is a LOT) because they used carbon. That is what you are paying for with the carbon RX3. The riser is much more difficult to make.
@@IIDASHII meh I like my bow to be quiet and vibration free. Not to mention easier to balence in the wind. Also I'm mostley a treestand hunter so weight doesn't affect me. If I need to carry it I could just use a bow sling.
The Mathews makes some noise when you draw it back
It’s the draw stop clicking on the string and it only did it on the second set of shots with the camera out front.
@@ElkCallingAcademy Was there no felt on the draw stops?
Ross Ragan no there wasn’t.
Maybe compare bows that are similar to one another... And take the tags off at the very least... And then mention that the more expensive one is carbon... Let's start there
Oliver Durasin did I not mention the Hoyt was Carbon infused? And yes, I should have taken the tags off and have done so on following videos.
Oliver Durasin you should do some review videos, since you seem to know how to do them so much better........
@@michaelstefano853 it's constructive criticism, I used to watch videos like this before I got into archery and I still do. The fact is that there is room for improvement on this one. I didn't say don't make videos, I'm saying this is what I noticed
@@ElkCallingAcademy thank you sir, I just subscribed...looking forward to more videos
Oliver Durasin I’m open to suggestions for improving my videos for sure. I do have a question though. How are these two bows not comparable? The specs on both are very close and this has been an extremely hot matchup that people have been talking about and asking for.
What cam is the ultra, number 3 or 2?
Reed Schwarck it was the number 3
@@ElkCallingAcademy the ultra is much more efficient at 29/70 in the number 2 cam which probably would explain the discrepancy in speed. I'd like to see an updated review with the number 2 cam at 29/70
What cam # is that hoyt?
Darren Trought #2 cam was on the Hoyt
Doesn't matter Mathews will still crush Hoyt in speed.
@@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music Not necessarily...I'm not familiar with the Hoyt cam systems but if the #3 cam is a turbo and it increases the speed to 345, the Mathews isn't going to "crush it". The point of the video was to set the two bows up to be comparable which is why the #2 cam was selected, I'm sure.
I'm here boss
i can see you have a 3 cam on the hoyt. at 29 inch draw should have compared the 2 cam ultra in the speed category...
ncturkeycaller would it have made that much of a difference? We do the best that we can to make the matchups as even as possible.
Yes it would of been at least 5fps faster. Then add in the Mathews being 1/2 inch long on the draw and there's 10fps.
Lee Lathrop the 1/2” long is not a factor here. The Mathews was 1/8” over
The difference in cam efficiency at 29 inches is between 10-15 FPS.
And what do you mean the 1/2” draw difference isn’t a factor here? The Mathews was 1/8” over??? Measure both draw lengths and you will see why it matters.
How about traverse vs realm x?
Chance Terrill I’ve been waiting for the shop to get in a Realm X.
@@ElkCallingAcademy that's what I bought I was between it and the mathews traverse well I actually really liked the ss too but felt the X was almost as smooth with a little more speed and more forgiving being 33.25 ata.
Chance Terrill I’ve seen the Realm X in action at a 3D shoot, but I haven’t had a chance to shoot one yet. There’s a lot of great options out there.
Vertix vs RX-3?
ATH1 Comps how about Vertix vs Triax?
Elk Calling Academy I think people want to see the standard flagships from Hoyt and Mathews pinned against each other! Triax v. Vertix would be interesting as well though.
ATH1 Comps I’m actually thinking about a Hoyt Triax, Mathewy Verdict and a Bowtech Realm SS Video with all three at the same time. Lots of matchup requests. Guess I’d better get busy filming this week.
Elk Calling Academy all good matchups! But that RX-3 Vertix video will draw A LOTTT of interest
And the Mathews draws longer than Hoyt’s. You need to measure the draw lengths so they are the same. Not just go by what the cam setting shows. The Hoyt should have been at least the 29.5 cam setting for a fair comparison.
Gritty Grizzly the Mathews came in at 29 1/8” on the draw board.
On the same draw board what did the Hoyt measure? I’m just curious because if that’s true that’s different than what I’ve seen myself and in my local pro shop.
Why compair a carbon bow to a aluminium bow and afther that say the mathews is way less expensive 😤
You should have compair the hoyt helix ultra
fuzzy176 because I was asked to do this matchup and I do have another video with the helix
what about weight? seems an obvious metric to track
bavariasuhl I talked about the weight in the Tale of the Tape at the start but forgot in the recap. I don’t script anything and do slip some times. I actually prefer a little more weight so the difference between the two did not bother me. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Wow, I'm surprised
I was too. I thought this one would be a lot closer than what it was. Especially surprised with the difference on the chrono.
That's because the Mathews runs 1/2 inch long on the draw. A number 2 cam Hoyt and a actual 29 inch draw from the Mathews they would of been within 1-2fps of each other
Lee Lathrop the Mathews actually came out to 29 1/8” on a draw board. I agree that in the past, Mathews have ran long but everything I’m seeing this year is pretty dang close to the mark. And I’m not alone on this. I’ve talked with several bow shops that are finding the same thing.
Funny the shops around here say if you're a 29 order a 28.5. Again I think it's a good bow but. It's heavy, runs long on the draw and is top heavy. As long as it fits you good that's all that matters. Maybe next time video them on the draw board
Lee Lathrop I appreciate the input. This was the first video I did like this and learned a lot about how to do better bow videos. Thanks again for watching and providing feedback. It really is helpful for producing better videos.
mathews traverse duh
Of course Mathews 😎
For me it’s the better bow. We’ll see how the other matchups unfold.
@@ElkCallingAcademy great review.
@@MrDaltonjerry thank you
Hoyt...... slow and extremely expensive. Save your money and buy a Mathews, bowtech or prime can’t go wrong.
Bowtech vs Prime is the next bow battle.
Elk Calling Academy Awesome! Ive always been a bowtech guy in the past but my my buddies have the Mathews and the prime both great bows. Still shooting the RPM 360 throwing the Valkyrie system at 272fps (560) grains at 29 inch draw
Tanner Hodges I shot the RPM 360. Extremely fast bow.
Ya the last couple of years Hoyt hasn't been really impressing me they don't really feel like much of a upgrade from my faktor 30 I feel other companies like Mathews starting with the halon series have been making a little bit better bows
Hoytshooter 1990 thank you for watching. The playing field is very getting more even from all manufacturers.
Bowtech bowtech bowtech. Bowtech is much more advanced technology
J. G. We’ll find out. We have other head to head battles coming up that include Bowtech
The technology is not even comparable. Bowtech reckoning. Ugly bow but changes the game forever. Dual yokes on others much easier to tune.
Really, I don't think so. The ssr 70 lb 352 ibo shot 271 with a 27'' draw 450 gr arrow. A Mathews Vertix 70 lb 343 ibo 27'' draw 450 gr arrow shot 270
How fast they shoot has nothing to do with how accurate they are. Also how they tune. Nothing on the market tunes easier than a bowtech. There for more accuracy.
@@j.g.2825 Actually, the Mathews bows are really easy to tune with their Top Hat system but that new bowtech Micro Synch system where the cams can be tuned without a press is very convenient.
