2020

In this review, Dalton covers the full details of the new 2020 Mathews VXR31.5 as well as some insight into design, cam technology and more. From there Dalton takes the VXR31.5 to the range for the draw cycle testing and shot testing. Then things get more in depth with a 3 arrow weight speed test at both 60 and 75lbs.

This was a fantastic review in every respect. I've watched many reviews on the VXR and yours is the best. I found your comments about how the back wall feels very helpful, as I also prefer some softness in the back wall during expansion. Shooting back tension against a solid back wall creates too much tension in the shot sequence I feel. A refreshingly helpful review from someone who clearly knows what he's talking about 👍

[@Logancrossno]

Best review by far of any vxr review.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Thank you!!!

[@belowaverage3730]

Thank you Dalton for making it clear to everyone how weight modules works, I'm currently shoot a 2014 ChillR, I switched my draw weight accordingly to my shooting needs, ie. Whitetail hunting in cold Mn morning is set at 63#, 3D or Elk hunt, I'd bumped it to 70#, even though my draw length is set at 26", cranking down on the limb bolts decrease my draw length (btw I have 70# limbs), now you can see my situations, I'm sure my ChillR is not the only bow with this problem... Thanks again

[@bownero]

[@outhsider5762]

Ordered a VXR31.5 and sold my Triax. Great review.

[@btuthill9653]

Great review! I can’t wait to get one in the fall.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Thank you!!! You're going to love it!

[@jaymyer5332]

Dalton, thank you for taking the time to create a good quality no crud review. I hope you find the time to do this on the 28?

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Thank you for watching! The VXR28 is next on the review list. I expect it out over this week or next depending how much time I have 🏹

[@steve8828]

Great video.

[@imtrashmyguys1612]

I have the VXR 28 with 75# 80% let off mods draw length is 28in what spine arrow do you recommend? Arrows are expensive and I don't have the funds to get it wrong your help will be greatly appreciated.

[@toddshumaker2715]

Great review as always. I made the switch from Bowtech Realm X to the VXR 31.5 and I’m blows away! Loving the bow thus far. Mind sharing what release you’re using? Thanks

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Thanks Todd!! It is a Truball Rave 3 finger thukb release. We can ship you one setup the way we like. Just email us!

[@justinlloyd9342]

I know this is a older video but do you think it’s worth the upgrade from the vxr 31.5 to the v3x 33 Ive got the vxr and shot the v3x but I’m having a hard time swapping up lol

[@hammerheadarchery7931]

Need more bow tuners like Dalton

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

We really appreciate the kind words! We do our very best!

[@donovanstockton44]

I WAS wondering if I am sane for buying the VXR31.5 after just having bought the Verdix just one year ago. I think our your analysis of the this bow was spot on and what not I'll tell you what. I agree the length of the riser is a big deal. Not only is it longer but it is also much better BALANCED. I have far less pin float with the VXr than the verdix. I just hope I can figure out how to bareshaft tune the VXR as it's harder than with the Verdix.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

I definitely found the shootability aspect of the 31.5 better than the Vertix and Triax both. That being an intangible factor makes it hard to tell about until somebody shoots one apppes to apples at distance with the Vertix. We've found them to tune up extremely easy.

[@rjopek]

Do you expect to make a lot of tuning changes going from a 70# 28” setup to a 60# 29” setup? Meaning peep and other adjustments?

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

If a customer had been shooting 29/70 initially and went to 28/60 I would check the peep height, change arrow combos and recheck it through paper and with a broadhead. We've got something similar in the works to test on video 😎

[@rjopek]

Better Outdoors Archery Pro Shop thanks for the reply!!! Love your content.

[@primal_inc]

i seen in your other review (vxr28) we can send in the bow to you for tuning. my question is: how can you tune a bow without the owner there with you? shooting form as to come into play from the owner of said bow right?

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Shooting form can come into play, especially in the aspect of point of impact however we have found that broadhead/field point groups are virtually the same between every shooter we have setup in store and mailed in. What this amounts to is if the broadhead and field point are tuned together, the shooter (provided they are a consistent shooter themselves) will see a great benefit in their hands. Another aspect that helps immensely is setting these customers up with the correct arrow for their bow combination. We have some other tricks during the setup that come into play as well. Thanks for watching our videos!

[@joshsweet5373]

You can't

[@EB-1679]

Josh Sweet I send mine to the bow rack and they tune mine every year. When I get it back it’s perfect for me everytime.

[@Hoytbuff]

How did you get 29 3/8 dl? Great video

[@samuelwixoniii4035]

Im 14 bought a hoyt helix last February in 2019 now Im turning 15 in 2 weeks and i got rid of the helix and upgraded to the vxr

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

That's awesome!!!

[@Ennis09]

I know this is old, but I’m looking for my first good bow. My shop has the Vertix for $849.99, and VXR 31.5 for $949.99 would you spend the extra $100 on the VXR? Thanks buddy! I am a little longer draw length at 29.5

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Depends what service they put with the bow! If it takes less than an hour to setup and get you done, I think Id go elsewhere!

[@ericwolbert3256]

What’s it cost to send bow to u for a super tune? And how long does it take?

[@bigdawgsbbq2737]

Nice review... what color camo is on that bow?

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

It is Realtree Edge

[@shannondaugherty5431]

Great review as always. You are the best on you tube.I have a Vertix.Is it enough better to upgrade

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

If you are needing a more forgiving bow than the Vertix I feel like it is. The stability once you shoot them side by side at distance is the big thing from a shooter perspective.

[@joc6117]

Is the v x r your favorite Mathews hunting bow so far

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

For my own personal use, yes I believe the VXR31.5 is my favorite Mathews hunting bow 😎

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

@Boxing 101 I could see that comparison made actually. Ive had a small minority of customers feel that way but thats why they make all 3 options. I do like the 28! But my Vertix...Im keeping it in my collection 😎

[@EB-1679]

Boxing 101 I don’t feel much vibration when I shoot it, I think the VXR 31.5 is better than all of them

[@joc6117]

@Boxing 101 and a ton love the 31.5 as well and hold do depend on draw length and weight and let off. And even hand grip will affect how each person holds each bow..and vibration also has to do with arrow weight. Cam timeing as well.not very many know how to correctly tune a bow

[@EB-1679]

Boxing 101 I’m not saying that ( you ) don’t feel vibration, I’m saying that ( I ) don’t feel vibration, and when I said I don’t feel “much” I meant I don’t feel “any” just like you. And they both feel equally balanced for me, but I chose the 31.5 because I’m more accurate with the 31.5 than I am with the 28. I went up to my pro shop for about 2 weeks shooting both of them before i chose witch one, because it’s a lot of money for me to be spending like that so I had to make sure I was picking the right one.

[@xsamitt]

Fender man Approved!

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Thank you!!

[@sinepari9160]

This reviewer is grossly underpaid lol. He's the best bow reviewer on youtube.

[@orlandocurtis3093]

I need to visit your shop, the shop near me acts as if it’s a problem to fully tune my bow. They only wanna do basic stuff.....that burns my biscuits!!!!!! All the technology in these bows and they wanna do Basic Tuning........

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

We hear that often unfortunately! Ship it to us for our Mail In tune or hop on a plane, we've got some that do!

[@deansmokeyday8748]

If you have to sky draw then on 75 just leave it to 60
