Thank you for your comments. I am currently looking at both and respect your thoughts about each.

A very well done video of these two bows. Its funny how when anyone uses the term “ comparison” the fanboy speedfreaks get all upset about it. Its reminiscent of the politics in this country. Why I say that it is well done is because #1 it takes a lot of time and effort to produce. ( dont agree? Produce one yourself) #2 its obvious that she is not a beginner to archery and the environment of shooting/hunting. #3 she is basing it off of her past shooting experiences with Bowtech and probably even had a slight lean to Bowtech because of it but was so open to how they actually performed for her, that she ultimately chose the matthews. This shows openess to actual real world application and not simply wanting to sell one over another. #3 she clearly understands bow physics to know when something feels a certain way and why. #4 is coming from a remote island in the pacific and not having a pro shop to try all of these bows first hand. Being able to view and listen to the psychology of a 5’4” woman speak on what she is feeling thru the grip, shot cycle and reverb after the shot is a huge help for a father looking at these two bows for his young adult daughter. In other words she is doing a fine job of helping me see thru the eyes of a petite framed woman. The fact that she can eloquently project her thoughts and sensations in real time as shes testing is huge for me. Iv’e seen other women do it as well but they are merely spitting bow specs and saying how much they love it with key marketing words thrown in here and there for good measure. Which ultimately gives someone in my position, nothing. I appreciate the time , thought and effort to be as unbiased as you were in this video. Being as secluded as we are here, these types of videos are really helpful in getting a feel of things before making any type of purchase. I mean every bow manufacturers bow is the fastest, smoothest, lightest etc but ones perceived perception of it is what matters. Love the fact she shot a Bowtech and leaned towards Matthews anyway. I myself, wife and 2 young adult children all hunt with Bowtechs but having said that my daughters next bow will be had by excellent reviews such as this regardless of the brand.

Big difference in shooting speed? Draw is 2-3 lbs lighter and draw length is a half inch shorter. Of coarse there is gunna be a speed difference. You can't compare speeds and tell people there is a speed difference when shooting 2 different bows setup differently. Set them both the exact same and chrono them for comparable results

[@oconnellarcheryllc7571]

You are correct but the difference was she wasnt hitting her anchor spot with the mathews unless we went a half inch more.

[@stephensheldon8396]

@@oconnellarcheryllc7571 completely understandable but saying the speeds are significantly different then are wrong. Should have tested speed side by side is what I'm saying to get accurate speed comparison

[@oconnellarcheryllc7571]

@@stephensheldon8396 they are with both fitting her draw length but understand what you are saying and that is why we brought it up could have not said anything but wanted to be honest about the differences

[@kveritas1]

@@stephensheldon8396 - if both bows are anchoring the same, then technically they are the same length. It is a known fact that 29” on one bow can be closer to 28 1/2” on another. The numbers on the cams are estimates of draw length, they are not exact.

[@stephensheldon8396]

Hand shock? I've shot both of these bows. My women shot both of these bows. The hand shock is near identical which is almost none.

[@oconnellarcheryllc7571]

Everyone feels different that is why some people like one bow when another one doesnt just like this case.

[@stephensheldon8396]

@@oconnellarcheryllc7571 I took my women to a shop to shoot both of these. She is new to archery. I shot both the bows side by side with her. I never told her what I liked what I didn't like until after she choose. She shot them both quite a bit and choose the EVA. The 7 inch brace imo better suit her being new. But I as well would have choose the Prima. When she choose the EVA she asked me which one I would have picked I told her the EVA just so she wouldn't second guess herself and think about it. But all in all 2 weeks of shooting and she's pounding bullseyes at 30 yards so it fits her very well

[@oconnellarcheryllc7571]

@@stephensheldon8396 thats very awesome my wife liked the prima but to be honest it wasnt the shot it was the grip she didnt like. This is the reason you always shoot a bow before you buy. The lady that did the video was all about the eva till she shot the prima and it barely won. Both are great bows. Ive found in some people mathews bows seem to be a half inch longer in draw or they are right at the power spot on the cam and is very jumpy

[@stephensheldon8396]

@@oconnellarcheryllc7571 I bought the V3X I hated the grip from the start but figured I loved everything about the bow but that. I'll change it out. I shot everything and the V3X won for me close 2nd was the ventum pro
