2023 Mathews Phase 4. Is it really more quiet? We put it to the test.

[@timbow50]

Thought you might have a sound decibel machine for an accurate test

[@chadcousins2563]

Any bow test not using an actual sound measuring device in a controlled environment and claiming they are accurate is a joke. The archery industry is full of opinions based off nothing but opinions and zero facts using real data. Take the dead in the hand statements used for bows, they are literally using nothing to actually measure this. Then the next year a bow that was completely dead in the hand somehow got even more dead lol

[@brandonstaley1289]

Seriously lol

[@archerytech12]

Agree. We are working on that.

[@stoodz]

@@archerytech12 There are apps for your phone. Did matthews tell you guys that you can't test these with a decibel meter or something?

[@wcwcgarner2717]

I love my v3x 29 in granite. I am not upgrading. I just got the v3x 29 in October it was a custom order wt red and black strings. It shoots great and fast and dead in the hand and quite. I have the hamskea epsilon rest made for mathews.

[@randyhutch50]

thanks for being the ONLY one who actually tested the sound with a scale comparing the 2 bows. Everyone does speed and everyone who has shot a Mathews knows it's fast enough. I bought one for the quietness and new tech.

[@danielpaiz6952]

I own the V3X 33 and my brother has the V3X 29. Having shot all 4 bows, there is a noise difference between the 29's and a more noticable difference in sound and vibration between the 33's. Personally, it is not worth the extra $700 it would cost to use the new stabilizer system, why would you not use the new stabilizers if the bow was designed to be used with them on, and my brother shares my opinion. At my local shop, the people that are buying the Phase 4 bows are people that are either buying their first Mathews, upgrading to a newer bow, i.e. VXR to Phase 4 or the people that get new bows every year.

[@Cparchery...]

Would love to hear a comparison with the stabilizers and without cause they say the stabilizers do the most

[@archerytech12]

We did test this as well with the 29 and it does definitely help. No doubt. The new stabilizer system really does make it part of the bow.

[@archerytech12]

We just didn’t get any of that on film unfortunately.

[@chadcousins2563]

@@archerytech12 Put literally any quality stabilizer on a bow and you’ll see the same results. You’d get the same results in that Phase 4 with a standard carbon rod and weight setup.

[@brandonstaley1289]

Of course they say that. They want you to buy them. Duh

[@Cparchery...]

@Chad Cousins I've used a bunch of different stabilizers and the ones that are just a carbon rod with weights do not help that much but I would love to see a comparison from the new stabilizers compared to a good stabilizers like Stokerized that doesn't have a lit of dampening

[@QcConnection]

What you measure is the sound of the arrow hitting the target… irrelevant

[@havedominionoutdoors4301]

This is like the 3rd or 4th vid like this that I've watched right up to the point they admit they don't have a decibel meter... You realize you can download an app, right?

[@optimuscrime608]

Holy shit! Your back!

[@archerytech12]

Yes, been a bit. Glad to be back!

[@Jory623]

Ironically most people who buy the phase 4 will be shooting factory fletched arrows with blazer vanes and the deer are still gonna drop out of the way from the sound of the loud ass arrow coming

[@dkeola8101]

They should definitely come out with a carbon bow

[@Duane14]

The only real "innovation" left is the tuning systems like Elite and Bowtech. Mathews, hoyt, and pse are lacking there.

[@walterrademeyer9507]

V3X made the least sound.. Top marks to the Mathews marketing team🤣

[@GregorsOutdoors]

My son has the V3X 29 and I have the new Phase 4 33. Shooting outdoors it's about even steven as far as both of us can tell. My Phase 4 is beyond sweet as it should be, but so is the V3X. It's neck and neck really. They are both smooth, quiet, and fast. I'm shooting a 460-grain arrow at 67lbs 29 inch draw lgth at 270 fps. I've killed plenty of deer with lighter setups for those who believe in the "adult" arrow Ranch Fairy nonsense. It's for the folks that want to take out the shoulders busting through the scapula if you ask me. I never aim for the shoulder.

[@joeyfuentes1051]

Man thank you all the foc nonsense… it is non sense at least for deer

[@Sapper_Rage]

It's not nonsense at all, your attitude is pure nonsense if you can't grasp the reasons behind a heavier arrow. Do yourselves a favor and get over yourselves. People shooting heavy arrows want to be as lethal as possible, don't you? I thought the whole point was to kill the animal...

[@joeyfuentes1051]

@@Sapper_Rage idk man I shoot a 70 pound bow with a 300 spine gold tip hunter xt with muzzy 100s and it hasn’t failed me I just think worrying and going nuts over foc and heavy arrows is getting a bit out of control and going down a long dark rabbit hole

[@mikealtman2838]

Absolute marketing gimmick! These companies are running out of innovation. Theres only so much you're going to do with a bow. Speed, noise, vibe, accuracy etc

[@joefisher8144]

I thought it was a gimmick as well . Go shoot it it is super quiet and dead in the hand I can’t explain it just shoot it. Or if your not wanting another bow don’t shoot it cause you will want one after you shoot.

[@iwilrage]

Insignificant quiet....deer will still hear it...

[@boknows2188]

Hand shock is the biggest scam on earth!

[@chadcousins2563]

OMG right lol I had a guy recently tell me this new Bowtech had felt vibration for 6 seconds after the shot lol. My longbow doesn’t have vibration for 6 seconds lol

[@dewetrobertson1752]

Marketing video not impressed sorry but it's not a upgrade worth spending money on, prefer last year's look, just my opinion

[@rogertaylor7828]

Useless test. Show the actual decibel readings. Obvious you two favor Mathews

[@Mrtaco-bs1lg]

This whole video is just showing the new mathews bow

[@archerytech12]

We are working on getting a more accurate sound test soon. Definitely don’t favor mathews. We actually both shoot different brands.

[@jwoyshnar]

Horrible sound test. Where is the actual decibel reading?

[@johnnewcomb5162]

92.9

[@archerytech12]

We are working on that. This is the best we could do, with what we had. Hoping to have a decibel reader soon.

[@timbow50]

Wow! That poundage IS too much for you. Tear up some muscles?

[@stevepauley2437]

For someone at a “pro” shop, you need work on your draw, and trigger punch.

[@jimmiekaelin4804]

It’s not.
