Brand New MATHEWS PHASE 4 Bow Build

[@edwardrichard2561]

I just bought a phase 4, 29. Great bow. My previous was a bow tech Guardian, I shot that over 10 years. My first compound. Definitely slower but the Mathews so easy to pull and lighter. I’ll be shooting the phase 4 for a long time.

[@shawnwiens965]

Love watching Josh build out bows. Love watching the Bros banter.

[@dereksisson2133]

There’s so much technology that goes into designing it. That is a sweet set job with the bridge lock stabilizer. Good luck with the subscriber hunt!

[@timmykellz2931]

I just ordered a L.h phase 4 .29 for my 1st Boe iv ever had as an adult I'm really excited for the upcoming bow season 🙌

[@perryknetter8577]

Great videos full of information

[@DIYSportsman]

If it's truly a 4-5dB reduction over the old bow, that's about the same reduction I've measured across the gamut of shooting a 400gr arrow vs 1000gr. I'd say that's pretty significant. I seem to be in the minority based on the comments but I like quiet, they were already quiet, so measurably quieter is impressive. Sure, I'd be nice if they had an easier tuning system, but as an individual as opposed to a shop, I set it up once in the spring and then rarely need to touch it again throughout a season. Would be nice if they offered 80# mods.

[@doughill9828]

This is the bow I would probably go however I bought a V3X last year so if everything is the same except for the limbs they ought to do a upgrade limb kit for previous models. Thanks for your honest opinion it helped me make my decision earlier this year when I bought a new bow

[@stevenwalker9013]

The limb pockets are wider. Can’t just swap them out

[@danconfer426]

DAN!!!! I have made strings in the past and I would do it full time I love everything archery I have not rifle hunted in god only know how long

[@lobopits]

Truly the most informative guys for me on the subject of archery thanks again for some great info 👍

[@Bluesplayer789]

4-5dB is no joke...doesn't sound like much. Josh's estimate of 20% is likely quite close to being correct. dB is logarithmic so hard to talk percent but that reduction is significant.

[@ValueReviews]

Lol you guys are having so much fun! On a scale of one to ten how buzzed are you? NM keep it coming!

[@TheDruxlol]

so so so so looking forward to the string showdown been looking for this for years.

[@braunavery]

I used ThreadZ on my 29 this year and loved them. Great family owned company, shipped super fast

[@michaeleads9294]

Great Vid guys. I would love to learn to setup bows and do all the work strings and everything. I think it would be fascinating

[@DavidBridge-u8d]

I just bought my new phase 4 and am extremely satisfied with it Couldn’t wait for the new lift to come out but Matthews keeps making improvements and I think they are blowing the market away This phase 4 is a beast and I’m only 60 pounds I’ve already Robin Hooded one Never done that before

[@heathhenry6083]

Josh is always super professional and pretty serious when it comes to his craft. I know that's why I really enjoy his channel. But.... I love seeing you guys cut up and give each other holy hell! Work isn't work when you are with your friends....

[@Bowhunterohio]

I tried shooting the thumb button for a while and loved it but I’ve had shoulder surgery so it tweaks my shoulder to where I’m in pain. Shooting a finger release is easier on my shoulder. It is easier to draw back with a handheld release vs a finger release. I also find that I anchor differently with a handheld. With a finger release I anchor in the same spot. I like it.

[@Farmersforever1993]

The Shadow Creek grips are freaking awesome. I put the ElkShape ones on both my bows and have absolutely fell in love, my shot are more precise. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to get the new bow. Still awesome bow build.

[@Archerpoint02]

I have been shooting since I was 8 years old, and have a total of three years bowtech experience, I am very enthusiastic about archery, fell in love with Mathew’s, and how fast they have been growing since they opened, I live in south east WA, and love your guys’ videos, I am willing to work for Josh (Podium Archer), I just would need a full time position and not 20 hours a week.

[@Archerpoint02]

And I have been looking for a new place to try and make a career out of archery. And would really enjoy the opportunity

[@codymuske4309]

Excited to hear more to come about this bow. Have honestly never shot a Mathews. Certainly want to get my hands on one and try it out. Love the content and excited to hear ya'll are coming back to Texas for TAC. Planning shooting 2 TAC's this year. Hopefully San Antonio and also Big Sky.

[@BostonMountainHunting2011]

At the beginning of this video around the 6:00 minute mark. Dan said they are offering a job that’s 20 hours a week. I couldn’t help but think of this quote “there’s not a single job in this town notta nothing” “ yea unless you wanna work 40 hours a week” 😂😂😂 Greatest movie ever made!!

[@paulmilbocker112]

Great reveiw and tips for people looking into going new for next season. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@boomerrowden1319]

How do you guys think that rubber will hold up between the limbs? I'm curious to see if it'll crack or start to deteriorate like most rubber parts do. Is there a different wax we will need for the rubber on the limbs maybe?

[@waterloggedimages]

My thought for sure.

[@gustinthunder5174]

Doesn’t Mathew’s have a lifetime warranty? I keep seeing people asking about this but in their warranty it states flaws in materials. I’m sure if this turned out to be a defect they’d fix this at no cost to you, otherwise you’d piss off a lot of people that like to buy their new bows every couple years. I can’t see them doing screwing people like that.

[@jkeithhowe]

Can confirm: behind the scenes in the house was non stop laughter. Most of it directed at Jake... which was well deserved.

[@sarjeant503]

Hell yeah, come back to Texas!!! Stoked to hear that, can we hold you to it?

[@jousiammuntakanava]

Awesome video as always🤙 I'm still rocking the vertix and i haven't seen a good reason to upgrade till now. That new phase 4 i quite literally the next big evolution in mathews bow lineup after the vertix.

[@douglasscholl4681]

Definitely need that press drill adapter video...

[@StanielP]

Have you ever wondered why your year old Mathews doesn’t feel as smooth compared to the latest model in your pro shop? It’s your cams bearings they’re probably dry or worn.

[@sethmitchell9783]

You have a solid squad Dan, jake,Tim,MFJJ.

[@dougieripley2095]

Love your banter, keep it up guys

[@houghtonic1975]

Love my gas ghostXV camo on my V3X33 so far. Had to add twists to the cables to get it to spec, but no stretch so far and not a single bit of peep twist.

[@DB.KOOPER]

Just bought the same string and 75# mods for my 33 can't wait to get them on. Interesting about the needed twists to get it in spec, I'll have to remember to mention that to the guys at the shop.

[@paulcrans804]

Mounted rubber dampening strips on my V3X as soon as I got it. The db drop was 6.2 vs the bare bow. You don’t really need to get a new bow. Mathews just split the limbs to dampen them on this new model. Good move for them but you can accomplish the same results on your own if you want. Been doing it to every bow I’ve owned for years. Dang I should have patented it?

[@toothpick05]

Where do you mount the rubber strips at? I’m very interested in what you’re talking about but can’t understand where you wouldn’t mount them at. 👍🏼

[@dananderson8192]

What strips did you use?

[@timncharityjohnson2088]

I’d be curious how you did that as well

[@grappler84]

Great vid gents!!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Great video on the new hotness that has been dropped this late fall among many other great bows. If I had the $$$ I would definitely have a in close single to tri pin set up with a heavier weight arrow with great structural integrity for whitetail deer 🦌 and then a more balanced long range setup with a slider sight and arrows in the 425-475 range for pronghorn and more open country deer 🦌 etc…

[@southernbowhunter]

I think it’s awesome that you’re going to do a Vegas-style shoot. I look forward to that video. I always look forward to new video drops from y’all. Keep up the good work. Thanks for what y’all do

[@gaudreau22]

BriteStrings out of Washington State, Owner is a Vet and makes great strings.

[@jayonez137]

I love my Gas Ghost strings! My string on my V3X 29 hasn’t budged

[@tat2dlukydevl]

I'm not quite sure about the rubber between the limbs? As much as I shoot it would probably wear out and squeak like crazy.. I think I'll stick with my dialed in V3x for a few more years.. thanks for the solid review.. ; After shooting the Phase 4 yesterday I was super impressed with the much noticeable sound and deadness. I may consider a limb and pocket update in a year if the results are positive on how they hold up.. I still dig my v3x

[@Waapitii]

If they can make tires that can last over 75,00 miles, rubber building isolators rated for 60 years of seismic activity, and used as O-rings on space shuttles, I’m sure the small strip of rubber will hold up.

[@jackbuendgen389]

Dude. I was thinking about going to big sky to meet you guys. Now I'll just go to SD again 😃

[@jeremywright290]

TAC SD. Do it guys!

[@matthewobier8555]

I’d like to see a comparison in sound with the same release on both bows. I shoot a Carter Wise Choice as well and it’s a loud release compared to any index release I have shot. I used to shoot a Spot Hogg Wise Guy and it’s much quieter than the Wise Choice. So maybe if y’all get the chance to test both bows with the decibel meter again shoot the same index release on both. I think that was a B3 Hawk you were using.

[@tuckerschmidt2484]

I know you guys like tying the limb driven cord to the limb. Have you guys had issues with the cord slack catching on the bottom of the quiver? I had to tie mine to the yolk splitter to keep if from catching. Running the phase 4 and v3x 33. Id rather have it on the limb, but I cant stop it from hanging up. Thanks for any info.

[@beaubellamy2999]

I would LOVE to bring your string man. As long as you don’t mind that I’m making the short commute from WV lol.

[@stevenwalker9013]

I believe speed will be identical when the phase 4 gets shot and broken in. Even custom strings need to be broken in

[@bigz5262]

Try an rx7 if you think Mathews are quiet. These bow build videos are always a lot of fun

[@bmocaby9747]

While I do agree as I shoot the rx7 ultra its hard to say that because the price difference. I didn't give that for mine but most guys see the price of the rx7 and ultra and they're eye twitches a little lol

[@bigz5262]

@@bmocaby9747 I shoot the ultra also and it’s such an insane bow! And last year I would have agreed with you on sticker prices but the new prices on the Mathews are crazy. The Phase 4 is already $1,300-$1,500, plus another $700 for the stabilizers (the only thing the phase 4 has). An extra 2-300 bucks for a bow that does everything better is well worth it, especially when you’ll easily save that on stabilizers

[@bmocaby9747]

@bigz5262 that's true I was just talking to my step brother who actually happens to be the main bow tech and rep around here about the price jump on them. I actually had a v3x 33 I had the first one their shop got in and was torn between that and rx7 ultra but went the 33 route because I was trading in a v3 31. Figured it'd be a easy adjustment. Wrong I should've traded for rx7 ultra originally and saved myself the time. And the sad part is the phase 4 is the v3x 33 with the new limbs. Which to me seems a bit sketchy but I may be wrong. The stabilizer I don't even consider that a upgrade. That's just a throw in they added that doesn't do a whole lot other than cost more money. Kinda like the inline sight. I'm honestly more impressed with the Mathews Image they released that has a max 50lb draw still shooting 330fps with a 6" brace height. But I don't see myself buying another bow for a while. And if I do, I'm keeping the ultra to add to my collection of my favorites lol

[@bigz5262]

@@bmocaby9747 good move. I think the phase 4 and v3x are awesome bows but they’re still not as nice as the rx7. I’d like to shoot the vtm and phase 4 side by side for a closer comparison. But there’s no way I’m going to change either. I think the only big improvement Mathews should make is to build a carbon bow. They’ve pretty much maxed out the potential of an aluminum

[@bmocaby9747]

@bigz5262 the only problem I see with the phase 4 is limbs. I don't see that being a good outcome long term. I do agree though the rx7 ultra is on another level. I like the look of the new elite and Bowtech. Not enough to ever get rid of the ultra but id like to shoot them anyways.

[@ZimFarm24]

Have never seen the rest string tied to the cable loop before, is that a better way versus the limb?

Noted!!

[@stgeorgethepurist8311]

let me call yoi.. what's innovative or modernized tech in this bow? no adjustability in the cams? do you need cough drops or knee pads?

Let the push to sell the newest year bows begin.

[@jimbob7332]

I hear you guys talking about arrow weight a lot, what weight and for and all that stuff is good for white tail etc etc.

[@StanielP]

Dan you should try the TRX 36 over the 34. I understand you have a short draw length but I think you’ll have more of a target bow experience with the 36. The TRX 34 is more of a kid’s target bow/ 3d/ hunting bow

[@dkeola8101]

I think the only thing for me is how would the wear n tear on the rubber between the 2 limbs last . But other then that the bows is pretty sick . I'm still rocking my vertix 🤙🤙

Damn Dan - those Shadow Creek side plates are badass 🔥🔥🔥

Does this mathews require a pic and tinny rail sight? I don't see the holes for mounting standard sights to the side?

I will admit that I really like shadow creeks side plates they’re a little thicker compared to the UV and Mathews side plates and it ergonomically superior in comparison

[@ElkShape]

Awesome!

FYI, I have the Axcel Accutouch carbon pro with the larger head and I didn't need the offset bracket. The scope is pushed all the way in, but it's not necessary to get the bracket IME.

[@michaelhoffman1360]

Rubber dry rots over time so have to wonder if Mathews did anything special to address this so the dampening material doesn't breakdown over time? Other than that concern, the bow looks solid. I've always been a fan of having my hunting bows be as quiet as possible.

[@ElkShape]

Do you have the opportunity to shoot and test it?

[@NimrodArchery]

If you own a V3X you don’t need this one simple. The bridge lock stabilizer alone is $250 so if you run front and back bar with bracket it’s $800. Also with 8 small limbs I’m afraid there will be a lot of limb warranty’s.

[@williamdesro]

Crazy how people think you can just throw everything in the garbage and start right over year after year even when you have an incredible shooting plateforme. Even the name says it, it's the fourth version of the ''V'' series. Other bow companies rebrand their bows year after year trying to convince us their doing something different. Mathews are being honest by saying we've achieved something great the last past years, and we'll just continue to go that way. Split Limbs with the rubber dampeners are impressive, and innovative. I own a V3 31, it is enough for me to switch, probably not. But looking at all the bows, if I had to start over and pick a new one (as a tone of people do every year), I'd still go with them, no questions asked. The Phase 4 will be the most silent, vibration free, streamlined hunting bow ever built. Period. Cannot see how this ain't gonna be appealing for new buyers. Great review guys! Keep up the awesome content!

[@Petro00D]

What I don't get, if the new limbs decreased noise, then why didn't they decrease the weight of the bow and keep the noise the same as last year? They already lead in noise reduction. However, they are heavy bows. I like my Vertix but it is like holding a brick.

I have the Halon 6 but I feel the bow is too cramped, I can't seem to stretch out on it. 30" but I am 31.5 when I measured myself with the formula. May have to try it, no way in hell will I pay $269 for one stabilizer $200 for an adjustable v bar and $259 for the back stabilizer. I could pick up a used bare v3x 33 cheaper than stabilizer kit for the new bow which is crazy. But I would buy the bare bow though.
