[@boblangenberg7859]

I killed more deer with a Q2 than any other bow I’ve owned. That’s back when Mathews was “solo cam” and dampeners were revolutionary. Absolutely loved that bow,…wish I hadn’t traded it now.

[@mikelhardin3869]

I have a sq2 ide part with

[@michaelbushey2787]

I had the q2 for my first bow too. I used to shoot so good with it.

[@davidrieck3874]

I still have my MQ32 1998 when I bought it

[@user-em1oq5bi5j]

Same here! Q2 was a killer bow.

[@andrewcollins879]

I have one

[@warrenbrooks3103]

Love this budget video! I shot a Q2 for almost 15 years and finally upgraded to the Phase 4 in April of this year. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles. It has a simple Trophy Ridge 5 pin sight & a whisker biscuit, but it gets the job done. I think people don't realize that you don't have to have the most expensive gear to be successful in the woods. Keep up the great work!

[@casey.mortgage]

Love it. Showing people how to get into archery 🏹 without spending a ton of money. I always sell my old bows cheap and love seeing them take deer years down the road.

[@HunterZybach]

Awesome job Chris!!!. Don't let you the idea of not having the newest flagship bow keeping you from the deer woods. Great video as always, keep it up!

[@Dr10Jeeps]

A great bow in its time. And you are right Chris, a person doesn't need a 2023 flagship bow to successfully bow hunt.

[@laytonleiker]

My dad shot a Q2 for over 10 years before handing the bow down to me. I am 17, the bow is probably at least as old as I am and is still reliable. I killed a deer with it last year.

[@dristonlouis]

Always remember seeing my uncles use this bow out in the elk woods and harvesting bull elk every year. Good stuff Chris!🤙🏼

[@CantWaitOutdoors]

This is right up my alley!!! I buy and resell stuff as a side hustle to support my Archery, Hunting, and Fishing adventures!

[@willnose757]

The axle to axle on the Q2 is 34”. I still have one! I don’t use it anymore, but I still can’t part with it-Too many memories and great hunts. First 8 point, first and only black bear, first turkey with a bow. I took more deer with that bow than any other I’ve owned, mainly because I used it longer than any other bow (2000-2013.) It was a good one!

[@Tornow78]

You should find an older Bear, Golden Eagle or High Country that has an over draw system on it. We use to shoot dang near crossbow bolts out of them using aluminum arrows. Knowing how much you love shooting bows then you should be able to appreciate that set up to get speed back almost 30years ago.

[@joshuadouglasarchery]

He Can’t shoot anything other than a Mathews so he’s limited to those old bows

[@WildestDreamsTv]

Watched this last night!! Pretty cool to see that old technology being put to good use!! Great video Chris!!

[@LongBowMan89]

Great shot Chris !. I love watching these older bows getting love. Crazy how far archery and bows have came in the last 20 years or so. Even the same with archery equipment overall! Cheers 🏹 Cody Michigan

[@frostless2616]

Just got my dad's old bow tuned for me - hasnt been shot in close to 12 years (Matthews MQ32) - So happy to see you using a similar gen bow showing they can still fill the freezer!

[@shawnkane7152]

Blew right through her! THP did this with an older bow, I believe it to be. Awesome hunt!🦌

[@chrisyapaolo5661]

I remember that quiver. It's a Kwikee Quiver. I still have one on an OLD/Vintage Bear Whitetail II bow from somewhere around 1991.

[@timothyhenson8853]

So glad you posted this love the throwback

[@justinesterly-wx7244]

Love to see it! I actually got an MQ-32 originally manufactured in 1998-2003 for 75 bucks with the case and all last year. Restrung it and got my first vertical buck harvest this fall! Practice and patience and confidence got the job done! She shoots great!

[@jonw1904]

Awesome! Thanks for shooting an old bow! I still use the SQ2. Shot my first bow buck with it four years ago. Smoked him at 60!

[@chrism7354]

Love the simple doe hunts

[@jimputnam7539]

Should’ve gone all they way budget with some good old Muzzy 3 blades and aluminum arrows. She was on a mission to catch her spirit leaving her body!! Never had a doe run that far before, usually find them within 100 yards.

[@calebsmith4567]

That's what I use 3 pack of 3 Blade broadheads for 6$ at Walmart, cheap arrows at Walmart 6$ each and 129$ Walmart youth barnett vortex compound bow. I'm 28 and have smacked plenty with that setup from 30 yards and in

[@AmherstFamBand]

Always a good day when Chris posts!

[@kestonoltman8118]

That bow is more than fine for hunting with proper upkeep! Glad to see people don't look down on it too much.

[@Danyang1]

I honestly love my old Mathew’s bow. Running a DXT, XLR8 and a Chill R

[@luevang4667]

Awesome shot!!! Been hunting with my uncle's Golden eagle for years. Retired it a couple years ago when I bought my diamond. I think next summer I'm gonna build my own

[@MasterTheHunt23]

I’ve always wanted to try something like this. Something about that older gear seems cool

[@stevenmoore3850]

The impact from that arrow just was not expecting that

[@agi6521]

I love these types of videos!!!

[@manguydude905]

My first mathews! Brings back memories! Awesome job

[@dwayneallen3539]

First Matthew I ever owned. Traded another bow in on it. Killed lots of deer with that bow.Finally gave it to my son and bought a Mathews VXR. Really love my VXR and shot my biggest bucks with it. Can't beat a Matthew. 😊

[@shawneddy1711]

Awesome hunt and even cooler vintage bow. I got the vintage itch the last couple years and I actually have a Q2 as well and I cant wait to get it ready to take afield. Congrats on the big doe Chris. Nicely done.

[@kylen1922]

My nephew still hunts with his dad's q2 and is crazy accurate with it. Really is a great bow.

[@gabebennett975]

I always look forward to you posting videos man!

[@jackalcorn8782]

Just bought a well taken care of 26 year old bow, 1997 Storm Archery Elite. Looks great, shoots great, gonna keep taking care of it

[@eastcoastwoodsman8357]

Ive owned just about every Matthew's bow that's come out and the old outback is still my favorite

[@stevencarnes1839]

I think biggest impact for newer bows is range ability. With them being quieter it’s easier to hit further shots with ducking as well as speed on the bow

[@michaelphillips6991]

Ole Levi had to show you up with that stud he killed with the switchback! 😅

[@EasternWild]

Dude, that’s awesome!!!

[@dhooter]

Man I feel like a old head. I am still blasting arrows with pass throughs with my 350 Destroyer. Been slaying deer with it for years. Before that was my dad's Onedia Eagle

[@RobKingRC]

There's some Gems out there!! Cool video Chris. I shot a doe last year with the G5 Megameat, crazy bleed out!!!

[@Will97675]

My uncle gave me a Hoyt Raptor that was manufactured in 1997. It does the job every time so I haven’t seen a need to upgrade. I will say, compound bows back then were much heavier than they are today.

[@wpmissourioutdoors7071]

Great job Chris!

[@chadgoldstein3306]

Nice. Congrats. I'm still shooting my Hoyt magnatec about 30 plus years old

[@billtucker7728]

Q2 was my favorite mathews model back then,bought a high country about a year before and my wife would've shot me if I mentioned buying another new bow 😂😂😂

[@zombiesloot7dtd72]

ONLY BOW I HAVE USED FOR 21 YEARS STILL WORK GREAT!

[@sweaty-gage32]

Love the videos Chris keep up the grind

[@kendalke7881]

I was hunting with an old Bear Trophy Hunter or something like that from the early 90's just up until a couple of years ago. Bought it from a buddy for about 40 bucks 15 years ago. Kept the freezer full for years! Before that bow I was shooting a Martin Warthog from the 70's. Shot fingers with that one. Great bow. Killed my first 4 deer with that one.

[@dmining65]

23 year old bow..... I turn 23 Tomorrow! I just picked up my first Bow. Its a Bow Tech Carbon Zion! 60# I had the shop order me some 70 pound limbs! Loving it so far!

[@Chiefshadow4]

Carbon zion is a wonderful bow. Picked it over mathews v3x 33 and ss34 because of how smooth it drew and shot. Was worried about the polymer carbon riser and cold but no issues.

[@dirtjunkie2749]

​@@Chiefshadow4what? Different strokes for different folks I guess.

[@dmining65]

@@Chiefshadow4 I kind of wish I just spent extra for a Mathews

[@lestaylor0311]

Funny, I just recently had my 27 year old polaris express repaired. I was 20 when I bought it. And yes, this old stuff is just fine for the purpose.

[@196killjoy]

This was fantastic cant wait to see you get ine with a Genesis

[@barrett1290]

Should do a review on budget friendly arrows idk what to go with that’s good quality

[@cameronfitzgibbon219]

Let's Gooooooo! Always enjoy your videos Chris.

[@user-il9ip8no2o]

Cool! I have heard that such old bows have very good bearings. How many licenses will be enough for a whole herd of deer. You definitely won't starve to death. And with such a bow.

[@natebennett6840]

Not sure what's up with these does but I shot a big slick a few evenings ago, 30yrds quartered away slightly, entered 2nd to last rib and exited point of the offside shoulder - double lung but same thing..200yrd track job. Had an old Martin Cheetah pro series then switched to an Outback. Absolutely loved it until someone wanted it more than me. Great job showing you don't need to break the bank with flagship bows to be successful. Keep up the budget doe hunts. Love it! 🥩

[@deanbrantley]

Shot one last year with a Conquest 3, some 2315’s about 600 grains. Out of a Saddle 😮 just for the fun of it. Just a dead as anything else I’ve ever used.

[@sacredtoad2117]

Next you should use a recurve!!

[@johnpinter2671]

First season bow hunting and just got my first deer (doe) today! Double lung and heart shot, made it only 50 yards!

[@PapiChuloOutdoors]

Finally lol been waiting for this one

[@jeffpeyton4850]

Q2 was a bad mama jama in its day. I shot mine for about 10 years before I upgraded. Cool video!

[@fishing_With_Vic]

Off topic but anyways, I bought the ultra view button release I was skeptical I can’t lie came in very fast and I will say I am astonished of how well built this thing it’s a good weight and fits perfect into my hand much better then my Scott summit I can’t wait to use this realease sadly my bow is in the shop😢

[@TreeHanger_outdoors]

Chris you should sling some aluminum arrows out of it!

[@dirtjunkie2749]

My first bow i bought used was a mathews feathermax, still hanging in my home bow shop. Video makes me wanna dust it off and fill one of my antlerless tags with it.

[@dillenwright7811]

I just bought a Q2 a month ago. New ABB cables and strings, new sight, arrows, broadheads... still under $500 invested.

[@paulwarner2360]

Still have one hanging on the rack. Took my biggest deer with it. I'll never give it up. Have upgraded, but I'll never sell it.

[@Minnesotalife]

You should try a Hoyt rampage. You can get them for cheap & it’s a super nice bow to shoot.

[@KamColee]

What is your opinion on the v3 27 inch for whitetail deer hunting. Or would you suggest anything else

[@JoeImburgia]

Good shot brother

[@bradenhickman9154]

I love this, not many of us can afford to drop 2k on a new bow, good to show that these older bows still have something to offer everyone, I shoot an old Mathews Reezen that’s over 10 years old

[@josephunderhile5804]

I bought that bow when it came out makes me feel old hearing ylu say the bows almost as old as me.

[@Waaaaa2751]

Meat in the freezer brotha !! Let’s go

[@Eightball2516]

I missed the video on the sight what sight is it that Q2 is an awesome bow for what it was and what it is

[@RichValentine1972]

Loved my Q2

[@bmxbowhunter99]

Great video man, I hunt with the same bow still today ! You should have used an alumnium arrow and a fixed 3 blade. Like the old days

[@calebsmith4567]

Better than my bow I've been using a 129$ barnett vortex youth bow 45 pound pull back.

[@dathangarfield379]

Turned her into a washing machine! I could hear those lungs sloshing when she took off!

[@kevintabor6586]

I bought q2xl when it came out. Owned it 2 weeks and won a 3d tournament with it. Killed 16 deer a coyote and 2 gobblers with it that year. Those bows were great.

[@wellsganey]

Love your videos Absolute killa

[@pensfan907]

Still have my q2, had it for almost 20 years, also still have my high country sky force. Wish I could afford a phase 4 or a v3 lol

[@antler.obsessiontv]

Awesome video

[@colbywhite4995]

What did you do to preserve the deer until the next morning for processing?

[@skeach]

Still Shooting my Q2 XL that my dad gave to me about 15 years ago. nothing wrong with an old bow

[@HuntingCreatures]

Ask the @dronedeerrecovery guy to pull your deer up with his big drone!!!

[@ferb1603]

Very random question that really doesn’t have anything to do with this video, I want to get the Mathews Flatline stabilizers, but I don’t have a Mathews bow, I have a bear legit and was wondering if I can use a flatline stabilizer on my bear or if meant for only Mathews bows

[@ekoGGs]

Hi Chris, I went hunting yesterday and when to go draw my bow to warm up the muscles a little and noticed my arrow was screeching against my qad rest. The felt seemed to grip the arrow or something. Ended up just taking the felt off for the hunt but this also causes noise from the arrow contacting. Was wondering if you have even had this problem and if so, how you fixed it?

[@maxbooms5039]

Still hunting with my q2. Shot a good 8 point last weekend. It’s most likely going to be my wife’s after this year

[@Easternandoutward]

I really enjoyed the video

[@4HKEdits]

Yo I just got into bow hunting like 2 weeks ago. I fixed up an old bear compound bow my brother had and have been shooting at a bag for about a week. what would you recommend me to practice doing with the bow before going out and hunting? Ps I already have the bow sighted at 20 30 and 40 and im shooting a nice 4 inch group from 20

[@isaiahtolo9819]

I still hunt with a Q2. Works good

[@andrewkellerhals1361]

I bought a Switchback for 350 from a pro shop and I LOVE it!

[@TheBeefSlayer]

She just painted the weeds red!

[@user-bx9jt9rj4i]

Really enjoy your Whitetail system contact. Tried the 20% discount code but it is stating not applicable. Has it expired?

[@mrdchll3382]

You should do trophy room tour

[@kyleopper4421]

I was rocking with a MQ32 tell last season killed plenty of deer with it also

[@DustinR97]

What seed did you use for that foodplot you had the deer in?

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Looks just like the LX

[@dougeverett7909]

I'm still using my old Mathews DXT. Easy draw and all the speed I have ever needed

[@mikehigginbotham7547]

Wait you mean it didn't take a 700 grain arrow with 30 % foc and a fixed broadhead to zip threw a deer lol great hunt

[@twl10101]

No, but he did have to track it over 200 yards. I had a learning experience when I shot a buck, back in the lungs, so I wouldn't destroy the meat on the shoulders using a .300 win mag. Had a 175 yard track job through some rough brush so I went back to shooting them in the shoulder and guess what, no more tracking.

[@trentonbutler233]

What kind of target is that big round black one

[@archerash6695]

No 3rd axis sight topic: Im starting to wonder if 3rd axis is actually that crucial. From what I've learnt online it is on any incline and decline shots. I've never tested out the different from a sight without it. I've always had it set right off the hop while setting a bow before even shooting it on a hunt. Something to try I guess. I still have no clue why sights are even made without 3rd axis, doesn't make sense to me.

[@amigochino1]

what sight is that? it is a tru glo, but what model? thank you.

[@JerryCochran-hi7mz]

That’s a nice bow
