[@jonathonhedrick7157]

I just picked up my vtm34 and am loving it so far. I was looking forward to this review! Thanks a lot.

[@Rufio0618]

Love your in-depth reviews on bows and products. I am brand new into archery, with the goal of going on a hunt once i get more experience. I am also about to purchase my first bow and really appreciate your videos. Thank you Brandon for all you do and keep the content coming. I will be here to watch it.

[@BackyardBows]

Awesome video You went through good tests with this bow ! I can tell you’re not biased. You even went over all the different ways you can do stabilizers and quality of the bow. And the riser. It was nice to see it shot through the chronograph. And I like how you rated it all at the end.

[@jerms92kauffman]

Great review. Always appreciate the thoroughness of your videos. I recently bought the bourbon VTM 31 and added the Hoyt go stix. Absolutely love the set up.

[@BackyardBows]

I want the sticks 👌

[@j-yakk]

Always shopping my next bow...just can't stop looking at that Hoyt! Great review!

[@kevintoews5656]

What a well presented and thorough video. Love my VTM 31.

[@albertgarciaguitar5306]

I was able to get mine recently for under $900, so happy with the purchase! What sight are you using or recommend with this bow?

[@matthewmcnulty698]

What. Do. You think of. The. Carbon rx 7 and the ventum and. Do. You own the carbon rx7

[@rudyjones1139]

Is there a huge difference between the 31 and 34? I’m a 30 inch draw and ordered a 31 from my shop but am having second thoughts. I primarily whitetail hunt out of a tree.

[@BackyardBows]

I say yes usually a noticeable difference, but I’m primarily a whitetail hunter and I love the vtm 31

[@danmartin9850]

Same here. I like the speed of the 31 over the 34.

[@videogazer801]

Rudy, you messed up and should definitely ordered the 34 instead. Hopefully, you can do a return and exchange

[@hermanarmstrong6480]

great review.i love the new hoyts

[@jasonard7227]

great review as always man thx for doimg these...

[@ryckgarrett1214]

Question..you used the picatinny adapter on your Ventum Pro but not on the VTM? It looked like you mounted your sight to the side correct? I just ordered my VTM 31 which should be arriving in few weeks. I’m going to use my current Black Gold Ascent Verdict but believe I need to get the adapter piece to mount to the picatinny mount, correct? Thanks for the great review got me more pumped for VTM to arrive!

[@BackyardBows]

Yes you will need to order, and yes I used the picatinny rail on the rx7

[@chrisunruh6485]

I just started watching some of your reviews yesterday and I love your breakdown. You ask what we want to see and I would like to see how you stack each bow against the other. Maybe just a short clip of each bow you have reviewed and rank them 1-10 or something like that. I really want to know where the Bear flagship falls.

[@BackyardBows]

Thanks for watching Will do a top 5 for 23 for sure

[@michaelbushey2787]

Another great review from the best in the bow review business. 👏

[@michaelbushey2787]

I still hVe my eyes on the omnia but I still can't decide between that or the ss34. I hunt in the east and in the Midwest. So im still not sure if I want comfort and longer Ata or the speed and deadness of the omnia. Ahhhh I can't decide. They both or so good.

[@BackyardBows]

🙏

[@artorautevaara2377]

Hi there, Me too, I really like your reviews and I do like the decibel meter you have installed, really good add.. Do you make reviews on accessories? Red dot sight would be nice to have through review, how you find them... If you find it interesting. Have a nice spring all of you :)

[@BackyardBows]

We have several accessories in editing and soon to be up on KZbin. Everything we tested and reviewed is what interest me at the moment or what the viewers have requested. I want to get my hands on everything lol

[@Doober560]

Great review. Is the draw really that tough? A lot of reviews say how easy this bow is to pull and usually increase draw weight?

[@BackyardBows]

It’s a little stiff on the 31, the 34 smoothed out a lot, also have to consider I compare to so many diff bows, and to the ss34 yes it’s stiff

[@Doober560]

Thanks for the response. Is it so stiff that is going to be something that’s uncomfortable to shoot all day? Just wondering because I have one on order. Thanks again

[@user_unk5]

great shooting man!

[@jasonowens8872]

Love the reviews! Do you feel the ventum pro 33 was that much smoother than the vtm31?

[@BackyardBows]

Yes and I’m sure the vtm34 is also

[@jkosinski87]

Great stuff! I’m convinced 😊

[@Jarvis_aka_UgunnH8This]

I have a ventum Pro and I love it.

[@anthonysimone7232]

I watch a lot of reviews…. I love the amount of time you put into this review. I still have an OG ventum 33 and I want a new vtm but I’ll Prolly hold off . Great review bud keep up the good work

[@joshc407]

What release do your shoot with? I just watched your ultra view video but couldn’t comment on it. I see basically all your videos you shoot with a wrist release and was wondering what you shoot with?

[@BackyardBows]

I use a Spothog wiseguy boa, and have for the past three years, I have gone back and forth a couple times through the years and made my way back to a wrist release, I’ll shoot with some handhelds I have in shop still but there is something about that wise guy

[@joshc407]

Awesome thanks man. Love the videos! Got my eye on a VTM or RX7 just can’t quite pull the trigger (no pun intended) yet lol

[@wcwcgarner2717]

Great review. The vtm is a solid bow.it is the axle to axle that I like.

[@BackyardBows]

It sure is

[@jasonard7227]

@@BackyardBows yea I like the shorter ATA bows 29 and 30 is my sweet spot my VXR 28 is nice as well IM thinking I may have to go shoot this one and part with some cash :(

[@jameswilson5562]

I'm bout to buy a new bow debate between that bow and the elite omnia I'm a 30 inch draw what would be your choice I have shot both it's a hard one to choose

[@wcwcgarner2717]

@@jameswilson5562 I would probably go for the elite omnia. I have heard good things about that bow. But you can't go wrong with a hoyt.

[@BackyardBows]

@@jameswilson5562 dam that’s a hard one, I want to say there even to me but I also have the vtm hanging on my wall and not the omnia

[@eevert76]

Great review

[@sinepari9160]

I thought the VTM 31 went 25-30'' DL with the HBX Pro cams and the VTM 34 26-31''? Yeah even says it on the riser sticker, I guess I should watch the entire vid before commenting :)

[@tpoe98]

Better than the omnia?

[@BackyardBows]

Both have strong arguments, at this point better is not a factor just preference, both truly incredible pieces of equipment

[@tsi-rocket4144]

@@BackyardBows Omnia is a faster bow with tons of adjustability and tunability. I have a Hoyt carbon defiant turbo and its been a nightmare to tune. After the Defiant turbo I greatly appreciate the tunability and adjustability of the omnia even tho I haven't had the need to use any of it yet. The omnia has a much more forgiving valley, but it dumps into the valley like a mathew's so if your a hoyt shooter I would assume mathew's or the omnia draw would be an extreme difference. All things considering; price, adjustability, draw, speed, comfort, vibration, tunability, the omnia is a better bow on paper and in general. With that said personal preference is the most important. I shoot a mathew's traverse, hoyt carbon defiant turbo, and now the omnia. I have honestly favored the omnia even tho I shot a bunch of bows before making the decision on the omnia. I see no reason to pay more than 1150$ for a bow other than the omnia because the omnia checks all the boxes and I don't have a money tree in my yard. If money isn't an issue than the debate can be enlarged.

[@BackyardBows]

@@tsi-rocket4144 well said thanks for the comment

[@tjblackforest69]

Dont forget to touch and turn the peep 😂

[@White_devil1980]

Why are the Hoyt bows still so expensive 😢😭even if they are pre owned bows being sold on eBay etc they are being sold at one thousand something near to the original retail price 😡even the cheapest price bows are about eight hundred something to nine hundred something 😮

[@BackyardBows]

They hold there value the best for sure

[@White_devil1980]

@@BackyardBows are the mathews vertix a good bow ?

[@tonyviers-de9qi]

I’m gonna have to STRONGLY disagree on the quality comment. Maybe if you just buy a bow shoot it 3 times and put it up til season, you might think that. Id suggest look that bow over a bit better. Maybe compare it to other bows. Ive been shooting hoyt for about 20 years, and this bow , which i just bought about a month ago, is the a serious disappointment. Attention to detail on assembling is the worst ive ever seen. I have seen several other vtm’s that were bad , not as bad as mine, and a few i e seen that were Much better. This tells me hoyt is dropping the ball. Next year , i’ll be picking up mathews, bowtech,pse, elite. They will all get serious consideration. I’ll shoot a hoyt also , but with a keen eye. They now have a huge mark against them

[@BackyardBows]

Interesting comment and first of its kind, I encourage everyone to give detail to there experience, I am very interested in what about a Hoyt is low quality. And looking the bow over and comparing it to other bows is in fact exactly what we do 🤔

[@tonyviers-de9qi]

@@BackyardBows my top cam was leaning hard right . The limb deflection is terribly different side to side. Arrow points out to california at 13/16. When you pay 1400 for the “flagship “ bow…… rediculously sloppy and shows lack of any kind of care about customers….. and to tell the truth, your brand. I have worked on it probably as much as i can , bought black spacers and changed them out. Now atleast center shot is better and cam not leaning as bad( still looks bad though). Got it to shoot pretty close to bullet hole and sighted in . Grouping ok , some of that im still attributing to me . However, the v3x i just sold didnt have any of these issues and my groups were great out to 80ish( for me). I wanted to love this bow, and i am not giving up on it. I’m hoping i can get it better, maybe swap limbs around…, i dont know really, it honestly is just disappointing to me
